Shameless Levi Karter gets fucked on the beach

For some time now, I have shared my firm belief that porn has ‪Purpose. That statement is often met with blank faces and eyerolls. Ironically most of the eye-rolling comes from fellow folks working in or consuming porn. How often have I heard, “Shut up – it’s JUST porn!” Or even more cynically — “It’s just porn, we’re not curing cancer!”It is in those moments that I feel more connected to my purpose of porn, remembering back to my early teens when overcome by the confusion of conscious and desire, I found and stole my first gay porn magazine — Blonds Do It Best. And it was in that moment, that I was FINALLY able to see, in vivid color, what I have been imagining, wanting and believing was true. I was not crazy, I was not a mistake, I was normal — and in that moment Porn had Purpose— if only for a instant, helping to quiet my self-defeating thoughts: the cancer of my mind.Like so many, I lied about who I was for many, many years: sex was secret, sex was hidden, and being TOO GAY was a big NO-NO!It was not until I began working with so many of the young men at CockyBoys did I begin to learn, grow and thrive based on their openness, self-love and joy of being gay. Many had come out in high school or SOONER, something that was unimaginable for me. This work has been one of the great joys of my life and it’s my goal with everyone I work with that they, too, find their purpose in their work and move forward in their life with the same pride in knowing that I believe they are heroes in my mind. (Cue eyeroll!)Today, we are celebrating a new kind of sexual revolution. Porn is becoming less taboo, Sex is an app-swipe away and stigmas are fading as the need to lie about who we are (while still challenging) has become less so.Yet, we face new challenges as we embrace our newfound openness — like the need to tribalize (and even fetishize) sex, race and masculinity — as we sign in, upload and check off the buttons of preference on our way to pre-negotiated sex; in that process many may be missing the opportunity to truly explore and discover who they are, still trapped in the “what will people think” section of their mind.That is why I have asked some of the boys and men I know to openly share their authentic self in this new series — JUST BEING ME.As always, thank you all for your support of our work, and these truly magnificent men — our CockyBoys!
