It really makes ZERO sense for someone like him. He's not a artist or an actor with a career/image to protect.
Making sense is subjective. I don't understand why people have a hard time understanding such idea, like we define by assumptions (literally no knowledge whatsoever) to then try to validate such non-factual idea.
As an example, we don't know that is the reason, even if he had stated is because some projects that perhaps we don't even know, not necessarily entertainment business, perhaps ego, perhaps self-esteem, perhaps family. Idk, I just don't see it as something so crazy to understand, is the other way around, to be an OF creator is the wild thing, and even then that doesn't mean you will always see porn like content.
I mean he isn't the only one who does that, most of them do, like the famous ones like they decide no glimpse but now go full on display, in my experience, when they do, we then just criticize further negatively and stop supporting the Content Creators, they talk about body, size, gosh the fans can get vicious.
I just hope that now that we got some content he has explicitly stated is something he is not fully comfortable doing, that we somehow manage the conversation to not steer it into a negative shaming/judgemental talk (like the people who were talking about his room and his towel and his smoking or whatever) I have always believed with Hayes only and specifically that he could get to that point we fans want, after so long we got a perfect content, general consensus we are all happy to see that D, let's create encouragement instead of continuing this unnecessary narrative that if makes sense or not, just enjoy the content.
