James creates adult content. He’s not a porn actor, nor strictly an influencer. He makes his living by posting his masturbation videos on OnlyFans. James is also straight, which makes him an outlier in this “Solo Male” niche. His audience consists of gay men, sometimes women. But James wonders about the latter. What are the images that really turn on straight women?
