In a recent story by Edge Media Network, Erny Castro and Carlito Peralta Jr., a gay couple, share their unique journey from being high school best friends to becoming successful adult content creators on JustFor.Fans, a platform that DNAalso promotes as an affiliate.
The adult content online marketplace is growing rapidly, with projections suggesting it will generate over $70 billion in revenue by 2032. Erny and Carlito, known as Tiggahslife on JustFor.Fans, are contributing to this growth by self-publishing their content. They have amassed over 570 followers, earning a substantial income from their $9.99 monthly subscriptions.
“I love that JustFor.Fans was created by a gay porn star who knows what the gays want and lets the gays have it,” Erny says, praising the platform’s CEO, Dominic Ford, for understanding creators’ needs and providing tools to help them succeed.
“Other sites have banned some of our videos for things like poppers or actions like public nudity, but that is acceptable on JustFor.Fans.” – Erny Castro
While self-publishing offers convenience, it also comes with risks. Erny and Carlito have considered mainstream studios but believe working independently is better for them. They appreciate studio porn but feel it may not suit their style.
Erny and Carlito’s friendship began in high school, with Erny initially identifying as straight. Within two years, their relationship turned intimate, and they dated for 19 years before getting married three years ago. Carlito’s exhibitionism led them to create content on Tumblr and later on their blog. When the pandemic hit, they decided to join adult creator sites to make money.
Despite their success, the couple admits to feeling nervous and anxious before collaborating with new partners. They also struggle with procrastination, a common challenge for self-employed content creators.
“We giggle with each other, we look at each other with love, and we put ourselves in the scenes. We’re not just acting with the whole ‘I’m the shit and I’m hot’ persona or trying to be super sexy.” – Erny Castro
As an Asian couple, Erny and Carlito bring much-needed diversity to the adult entertainment industry. Erny notes that while the industry has become more diverse, there is still room for improvement. He appreciates platforms like JustFor.Fans for allowing creators of all backgrounds to showcase their content.
The couple’s success is rooted in their strong relationship, built on honesty and trust over their 23 years together. Their genuine connection shines through in their content, setting them apart from others in the industry.
