Internet Sensation Peachy Boy Credits OnlyFans with Helping Him Accept His Bisexuality

TikTok and Instagram influencer Peachy Boy was attracting attention before he went onto OnlyFans in 2018, but it was at that site where creators routinely post explicit content that his career took off – and his self-acceptance blossomed.
The chiseled British hunk shared the story of how he found his way to OnlyFans with PinkNews, telling the U.K. site in an interview that he decided to start posting content there after followers at Instagram (where explicit content is not allowed) started to ask him where his OnlyFans page could be found – "and so I made a profile thinking it would be a little side hustle," the content creator, a fitness buff who says he is in his mid-20s, told the site.
The "little side hustle" turned into much more than that, and took very little time in doing so.
"Within two weeks, I quit my job," the content creator – whose name, Pink News reported, is Sam – recalled. Though Peachy Boy wouldn't discuss his financial success in detail, Pink News noted that his success at OnlyFans "has paid off his parent's mortgage, allowed him to travel the world and purchase several properties around the globe."
The article detailed that Peachy Boy's OnlyFans "charges $9.99 (£7.97) per month to get access to his content, with discounted 3, 6 and 12 month bundles – and extra 'pay-per-view' videos that are usually collaborations with other creators priced at around at anywhere from $25 (£19.95) to $40 (£31.90).
"You do the math," Pink News added; "Sam is doing well for himself."
And not just in a monetary sense. Though the influencer makes plenty as a creator, he's found something even more valuable thanks to his OnlyFans experience: Self-acceptance.
"I'm bisexual," Peachy Boy told Pink News, "and having most of my audience being gay men has really helped me on my own personal journey with my sexuality.
"I always struggled with it prior to OnlyFans," the influencer went on to say, "but doing it has made me feel more comfortable and confident in my own skin."
So much so that when trolls accuse him of "queerbaiting" he can simply laugh it off.
"I have friends that are gay – like, they're in gay relationships – and because they won't do certain types of content, they get called queerbaiters," Peachy Boy said of the harassment that creators of explicit content sometimes face.
"It's something that people, if they're not happy with what you do post, say, 'Why are you not posting this kind of content? You must be queerbaiting,'" the content creator explained, adding: "It's almost every male creator" who faces the charge.
If you've seen Peachy Boy's OnlyFans for yourself, you'll know what Pink News is talking about. Even if not, you can get an idea of the creator's appeal by having a look at some of the effortlessly uber-thirsty content he's put up at places like Instagram and X.
