Ethan Hethcote

When I learned that Ethan was making OF I lowkey hoped there would be some stuff of them fucking but yeah honestly his OF would’ve never taken off had they been together still.

The onlyfans probably never would've happened in the first place if they were together

Oh I think it would have. They both had their fanbase, and a mutual one too… Like, some people drooled over them individually and others as a couple, so everybody would have been happy about it and they would have made a FORTUNE 5 years ago

What’s interesting is that I feel like we often lose track of how quickly time is passing. Even 5 years ago, they were already well onto their decline in popularity. They had already broken up by this point and had suffered from their own relationship issues (clearly) and also a decline in views/fans at the same time. I’d say their absolute peak as influencers/content creators was like 2014-2016 during the ‘boyfriend trip’ videos and the music festival montages etc. They were just exactly what we (gays growing up find ourselves) all wanted and thought we should be. To be honest there wasn’t a large platform for online sex work/OnlyFans during the time of Mark and Ethan’s peak online as a couple. That stuff started taking off big time when they were already declining. If they’d jumped on the bandwagon back then, sure they’d have made a lot more money (and possibly gone back up in popularity), but I’m happy they each forged their own path and I’m assuming they are too.

Odd realization, but teen gays and younger twenties (maybe 22 and under) won’t even know who Mark and Ethan are, or have them to look up to during their own journey in finding themselves. Some of us watched Mark and Ethan all through highschool and college, so we were there when it all fell apart and now long after, but I bet it’ll be harder to discover and get into a couple that was popular ten years ago now.

You’re 100% right! What I meant was if they did do it at the end (OF was starting and was well established I think…. Maybe? Time flies like you said) they would have changed their plateform/audience in a way, like grow with them and maybe have that audience of younger gays too.

Oh well. Look at us fabulating

And I think Mark would have come after him legally if he posted something like that considering how prudish his patreon is.

Patreon has to be prudish, they don't allow explicit content.

you can't go after someone legally for being an adult who does porn.
if ethan was filming it without mark's knowledge and then uploading it, that's a different story, since that's a crime. but if ethan start doing porn and mark didn't like it, he'd have to options, break up or cope. or the 3rd option, which would be the preferred one, to join in

I was thinking more of the latter lol and yes we can always dream!

Yeah but Mark himself is pretty prudish without Patreon otherwise he'd being doing what Ethan's doing.

Just because you choose not to do sex work, doesn't mean you're a prude.

It's a LONG line from one point to another.

 

[andre1000]

i mean it's not like mark's a saint. he might not be getting his dick out, but he sure as hell loves to tease, hands down his pants, showing the pubic area right above the base of the shaft. that doesn't sound like a prude to me

He's using his body to make money via sexually suggestive imagery. Just because its's not as explicit as Ethan's content doesn't mean it's still not sex work. He's dipping his toes in the waters but doesn't wanna go all the way in. He's still getting wet either way.

 

[andre1000]

i mean some of the videos i've seen he's clearly doing them just to show off his dick jumping in his shorts, but i wouldn't call that sex work. teasing, thirst trapping, sure. but we haven't even seen him hard

Showing bulge pics is not sex work. Ethan is selling fuck videos, that's sex work.

Either way none of this makes Mark a prude by any definition.

That's fair but it's bordering and from what I've seen from past Gay YT influencers it's quite the slippery slope

i'm keeping my fingers, my toes, my balls, my hair, everything crossed that he slips into doing porn. but rn he's just teasing. sure he's making videos where he's wearing loose shorts, probably no underwear, aiming the camera directly at his crotch and doing movements that make his dick jump around, but that's not porn, that's attention seeking

Are people drooling and getting off to it? Your not really gonna that isn't the case? That's selling sex and not like modeling or marketing a product because he is the product. It's also a kind of work. So by that definition it's sex work. Now yes, it's not having full on sex on camera like Ethan, but let's not get caught up in semantics. They are both using sex appeal to make money, one goes farther than the other, but both have to work at it. Mark seems a bit more conservative than Ethan to me and yes a bit prudish. Probably why it didn't work out. This all aside... I'm not objecting.. don't get me wrong Not at all...

Allotta times though one thing leads to another lol but not always. Either way...

there's people who will be drooling and jerking off to tom holland fully clothed, doesn't mean he's doing sex work

... you clearly don't understand what "sex work" means.

It doesn't mean anything that elicits a sexual reaction from the audience.
