Californian (CA) Gay OnlyFans Creators

Studio polish and kitchen-table candour sit side by side at the top of California's list. On one side are men who have spent years building full-length catalogues and running their pages like private clubs. Most of the others arrived this summer or later, and several of them write. There is a gay romance novelist, a man who reads his own erotic shorts aloud, a parody comic with a camera and a Sacramento software engineer in the middle of a gym overhaul. The old hands deal in finished films, the newcomers in chapters, sketches and gym check-ins, and each side makes the other look better.

Los Angeles claims most of them, West Hollywood above all, and Sacramento keeps one coder for the north. The state runs from Oregon down to Baja California, with Nevada and Arizona at its back and the Pacific in front, and across all 433 Californians on our books the tone swings between glossy and homemade. This page is where the two meet most often.

#1LetsEatCakeXx .13: The Club Host With a Passport

In West Hollywood, home turf to LetsEatCakeXx .13, Sunset Boulevard is practically his front garden. Still, he keeps a bag packed: Puerto Vallarta in spring, Medellín in high summer, and the odd pool or beach in between. He has turned OnlyFans into a private members' club, The Cake Club. The vault holds 750+ full-length explicit videos for subscribers, and members who stay are sent bonus extras in messages. He also keeps a free page as a lifeboat in case the main one ever sinks. The tone is teasing and theatrical, all knowing winks and come-hither one-liners, delivered with a performer's timing. Warmth is what people love about him.

#2Domenico Dane: The Gothic Romance Reader With a Brown-Sugar Latte

Coffee first, then chapters. A brown-sugar latte is, to Domenico Dane, a creative necessity; he writes gay romance, enjoys vintage gothic romance and belongs to the Romance Writers of America. His stories lately lean towards the sea, with Mediterranean sun and long shorelines, and he jokes that a day at the beach counts as research. His OnlyFans page celebrates big-guy body positivity. Expect live streams, private messages, explicit content by request and exclusive videos and photos in a solo space. His allure is gentle and wholehearted: a romantic who is openly delighted to be desired.

#3Deviant-Dom-Daddy: The Sour-Gummy Dom at the Console

Sour gummies are a standing quest for Deviant-Dom-Daddy, who is forever hunting down a new bag to try, ideally after a plate of Mexican or Mediterranean food he cooked himself. Off duty he is a proper gaymer, moving between a PlayStation, a Nintendo Switch and the occasional Xbox, and a Marvel devotee with a serious film habit. Subject changes bring firmness to his easy, mischievous confidence. He is frank about BDSM on OnlyFans. He is open about dom and sub dynamics and master and slave dynamics, and curious people can ask in private about the rest.

#4Danny Fantasy: The Myth-Maker Who Shoots in Seasons

Persephone, Lilith leaving Eden, a secret garden in bloom: Danny Fantasy turns Los Angeles into a stage for myth. His photo series play like a gallery of old stories retold in sultry, dreamy light. Fitness and art run through his whole life. The mood is romantic, faintly melancholy and thoroughly seductive. His page on subs is his newer venture and the home for his exclusive, explicit work.

#5Roman Gey: The Victorian Bookworm Who Reads It Aloud

Ask Roman Gey about erotic literature and he may well steer the talk back to the nineteenth century. After a spell with modern gay erotica he went digging into the past and came back thrilled by the Victorian novel Teleny. He writes his own gay romance shorts, from mild to wild, and reads them aloud on his OnlyFans page. Subscribing feels rather like joining a late-night book club with the lights low. His very first story began with people-watching at a gay bar. He loves swapping reading tastes, asks everyone what their fantasy is, and happily writes a fresh one for anyone who gets in touch. The charm is bookish, flirtatious and generous.

#6JV Marx: The Deadpan Switch of Los Angeles

For JV Marx, a Los Angeles actor, a lowercase shrug beats a sales pitch. He is slim, tattooed and an otter by our labels, and he moves between city streets and the gym like a man who knows exactly how he comes across and finds it slightly funny. His OnlyFans page is frank and fully explicit, with full videos, roleplay, verbal play and feet. He plays dom or switch and is versatile through and through. The appeal is a strange, sexy cool, half gallery piece and half pure mischief. People love him for creative shoots that never take themselves too seriously.

#8aaron: The Sacramento Coder Who Dances at the Latin Stage

Evenings at the gym, on a slimming-down mission he tracks with real pride, fill the time of aaron, a Sacramento software engineer who runs on coffee. He made a day of San Francisco Pride this year, dancing at the Latin Stage until the sunburn set in, and fitted in a winter trip to Chicago. A cub by our labels, stocky with a hairy chest, he carries it with a big-hearted, flirtatious ease. His OnlyFans page is warm and intimate, with custom content arranged through messages and a cheerful foot streak that starts with his size 13s. He is always keen on a chat.

#9BeverlyHillsBadBoy: The Irish Film-Maker Off Rodeo Drive

An Irishman with a global outlook and a taste for the polished side of Beverly Hills, BeverlyHillsBadBoy is an adult film actor who thinks of his work as art. His LoyalFans page holds his catalogue of artistic films, each available to buy on its own. His sultry screen presence suits them: athletic, smooth and clean-cut by our labels, and as at home on a beach at sunset as on a city street after dark.

#10Chicken Shakez: The Mock-Documentary Clown Who Answers Every Message

Chicken Shakez is the one here who sticks to a bit. The Los Angeles comic makes very silly video projects with a perfectly straight face. There are cartoon parodies shot across New York, a spa review delivered like consumer journalism, and a forensic investigation into whether a new gay dating app fixes anything at all (his verdict was scathing). He has also sat as a model for a drawing session at the Tom of Finland Foundation, which feels about right. His OnlyFans page, new this spring, is frank, naked and unashamed. Everything comes with the subscription, private photo and video requests are welcome, and he promises to answer every message. Bearded, cheeky and terrific company.

Beards and muscle label more California men than anything else, yet neither travels especially well up the list. The popular end favours one label, at 18% of the favourites against 14% of all the creators listed, with two others ahead by a few points. Smooth holds exactly level. Finish is what the favourites sell: groomed, gym-kept and photographing like a campaign shoot, with just enough ink to keep it from looking like a catalogue. The bears and muscle daddies hardly lack admirers. Their fans are simply spread more thinly, while the polished men cluster near the top.
