10 Gay Adult Performers You Need to Follow On Instagram Right Now

Elijah Zayne
Elijah Zayne must give Instagram watchdogs a run for their money. His pictures push the limits of the platform's content guidelines. He has a famous partner who also appears on this list, Rhyheim Shabazz.
The two have appeared in interviews together where they discuss what it's like to be in a relationship when both people are adult content creators.
Cole Connor
This grey fox is definitely an inspiration for men over 40. It used to be adult stars had an expiration date on their careers, but these days age doesn't matter. He said in a 2022 interview (link is NSFW) he dealt with some internalized homophobia.
"I struggled with coming out. Not that anyone was particularly surprised whenever I told them I was gay, but I had a hard time accepting it for myself and it not being something I could 'fix' or a personal obstacle I could overcome. I think a lot of gay people have felt that way, or at least more commonly with people my age and older."
Timothy Champagne
This 6'5" adult star towers over the rest of us. He also looks like he just stepped out of a '70s movie with his curly-haired mullet, mustache, signature aviator glasses, and trucker cap.
Interestingly, even though he does content with men, he says he hasn't ever seen himself dating a guy. In fact, he has a girlfriend and says he doesn't like labels.
"That doesn't mean I don't like being physical with guys. I love it," he said in one of his posts. "It's fun you know. That's why I choose to do it for a living."
It's this type of honesty that makes him so endearing. He constantly answers personal questions on his feed and it never feels phony.
Dom King
Even though he hasn't been in the adult industry that long, King has been keeping busy. He constantly updates his Instagram page with his latest projects and social outings.
With the holidays coming, he probably won't slow down, except to watch his favorite movie, "The Nightmare Before Christmas."
"It's a musical," he said in an interview last June. "You get two holidays in one. It's beautifully directed [and] written. You can't go wrong."
Jake Preston
Jake Preston doesn't have many Instagram posts, but he's listed here because he's been tagged by so many people on the platform. To see those posts, just click on the "tagged" square quote bubble tab with the head and shoulders in it.
At 22, Preston is just beginning what seems like a promising career. He explained how anyone interested in the same path can become successful.
"I would say build your platform on Twitter (X) for sure. DM the studios. Make sure you have a portfolio. If you're going to start this, think of what your brand is going to be. That's where you start."
