Terri, from Cheshire, says her boyfriend Ryan is straight—even though he films adult scenes with men. The couple, featured on a YouTube episode of Love Don’t Judge, claim the work is purely financial and doesn’t reflect Ryan’s sexuality.

They started by making adult content together, then noticed Ryan earned more by performing with male partners. Terri says she now works behind the camera as director and creative partner, filming and producing the shoots. Together, they report making around £2,000 to £6,000 a month on average. Ryan describes his niche as “gay for pay” and says he’s not exploiting anyone, adding that viewers can choose whether to support the content.

Terri says she’s comfortable with the arrangement because it’s a job for both of them. She also creates content herself and says they usually work with people they know. Ryan claims his audience has grown since he began filming with men, with Terri saying he gained more than 1,000 subscribers in eight months.

Not everyone around them is on board. Ryan says some friends avoid the topic, and he downplays his work as “modelling” with family. He also says most criticism happens online and that he has received threats. In the episode, Terri’s mother asked whether Terri worried Ryan might leave her for a man. Terri said she trusts him, while both stressed they set boundaries and only work with professional partners.
