To be clear, Dan Damage lied about being bisexual before he was filming professional porn. This was back when he was just making content for OnlyFans.
- 71% of OnlyFans users are male (210 million reported users).
- 14% of OnlyFans creators are male (2.1 million reported creators).
- Only 25% of the top earning performers on OnlyFans are men.
- Female creators earn 78% more than males on OnlyFans.
- Gay male creators earn 651% more than straight male creators on OnlyFans.
(Note: OnlyFans doesn't release statistics. This data has been pulled from several online market research companies, including Gitnux, Wifi Talents, and Social Rise).
Established male porn stars like Johnny Sins and Manuel Ferrara are successful on OnlyFans because they have a built-in fanbase of straight men who like the way they fuck, and they have a roster of new and legacy female performers who will shoot with them.
Amateur male performers on OnlyFans usually need a niche to break through the noise. Girth Master is a great example. His looks are average, but his extreme proportions are fun to watch and his nice-guy attitude is a breath of fresh air in a landscape of agro dominant men.
But in general, most male performers on OnlyFans aren't successful. As a straight performer, you'd need to get top female talent on the platform to film with you, which isn't easy to do. And then you need their male followers to enjoy your performance enough to seek out your OnlyFans page. And then even harder, convince them to pay for your content. It's a long shot.
Statistically, around 1 in every 10 men (ish) are somewhere between gay and bisexual. If you, as an unproven performer on OnlyFans, can't break through to the small amount of women willing to pay for porn on the platform, you need queer fans to support you. Queerbaiting, as vile as it often is, works.
In Dan Damage's case, he alluded to being bisexual and made content where he played with his hole and sucked on a dildo. This was before he was signed to Hussie Models and went pro. Long story short, why would he lie? Money.
