Not all alts are created to hit 50,000 followers, nor are porn alts exclusively gay. ACT now has more than 50,000 followers and, since mid-August, a burgeoning OnlyFans account, where 110 posts have garnered more than 16,100 “likes.” The 24-year-old says the porn he makes is enough to pay the bills. To date, ACT’s video has been viewed over 110,000 times. ACT’s headless body, thighs that stretch into eight defined and divided abs and then into a well-muscled chest, presses up against an unnamed partner’s jock-strapped butt. You can see the fire alarm on the ceiling. The video in question is one minute and two seconds long. A popular account had retweeted one of his videos.
He says that when he went to bed on July 17, his account was a fun side project with a couple dozen followers.Ī Considerate Top (ACT) woke the next day and found his 20 or so followers had ballooned to the thousands. (The app, unlike other social media platforms, doesn’t compress images, and quality matters: Penises are variable, but if given two identical pictures with the only difference being image quality, you’d be hard-pressed to find ardent admirers of manhood who prefer the grainy one.) He started using his handle - which, translated into heterosexual English, refers to a penetrating partner in gay sex who, against popular stereotype, has a caring nature - to post his nudes and sex dates because he ran out of space on his iPhone. The alt known as A Considerate Top (not safe for work) explained this to me while recounting his origin story. And some of Twitter’s sexiest alts have huge followings. They’re not that different from the urge to create “finstas” (fake Instagrams) or private Snapchat accounts, pseudonymous accounts where users can, paradoxically, really be themselves. “Alt” can be read as alternative or alter ego, but the word has its own life as the term for secondary account.

And a faction of gay Twitter users have taken full advantage through their alts. Anyone, if their heart desires, can post nudes, selfies, and homemade videos of up to two minutes and 20 seconds. (Twitter, reached for comment, directed Vox to said media policy.) It’s a sex-positive policy on an increasingly sex-wary internet. The platform may have banned a former president who helped stoke a deadly insurrection, but nonviolent, non-extremist, consensual nudes and sex videos are fair game, according to the site’s media policy. Twitter, I’ve come to learn, is a fantastic place to find, store, and share homemade gay porn.
