This just in: 25-year-old amateur gay-for-pay solo performer Michael Hoffman has officially come out of retirement.
Four years ago, Hoffman was at the top of his game. He was known as the young, hot, tatted-up bodybuilder who posted a series of videos to a number of pay-for-view gay sites and raked in tens of thousands of dollars.
The videos ranged from titillating to raunchy, and at least one featured Hoffman, who identifies as straight, alongside another guy.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Then last summer, Hoffman posted a video to his official Twitter page saying he was done selling his body on social media and that he regretted ever doing it in the first place.
“My decision four years ago to start making videos has really f*cked me up,” he said. “I lose girl after girl. I can’t land a relationship. Can’t get a job. Can’t go anywhere. Can’t do anything.”
“Every single person I meet finds out or knows about it, gets creeped out, doesn’t want to be f*cking friends with me.”

Well, it seems like he’s either moved on from those past feelings of regret, or he’s making the same mistakes all over again, because a new video featuring Hoffman and another man has started circulating online.
In the video, Hoffman gets a very NFSW massage from another man, complete with a happy ending. The video has been circulating on Tumblr, where it has been shared over 70,000 times, and was recently uploaded to PornHub.

The video comes after Hoffman posted another video to his Twitter page last month saying he was mounting a comeback after taking a hiatus from social media.
“I know it’s been a good couple months,” he said. “I’ve been going through a lot. I was working. I thought I was gonna move on. But, honestly, I was just kinda missing this. And I was kinda missing all of you guys.”

That massage vid has been all over the internet for months now. So, that’s nothing new.
Michael doesn’t seem anywhere near legit gay-4-pay. He has a voice that comes off as extremely fake-deep as possible, a bootyhole that looks fairly stretched, and the few clips he did with chicks were dry, limp-dicked, awkward messes. He doesn’t even seem to like to kiss girls. The dude is still goodlooking despite the ridiculous amount of random tats. However, he just seems very troubled and depressed in general, which does make him less appealing.

Sad part is his best asset is that beautiful butt.
Watching a Rafael Alencar delicately pollinate that flower would probably be memorable.
sonnyboa
Let’s not forget: he eats his spunk, he does have a “jacking off with a buddy” vid, and even a male BJ vid. He’s a one more pathetic cumshot away from cumming out of the closet.????
Zambos271
His butt and hole are extremely attractive. I agree that it looks like someone has set up residency in his butthole.
His spunk eating video is classic and one of my all-time favorites. His lips in that video…*swoons*
Chrisk
A fine example of burning your bridges. So basically he was blaming everything on his friends finding out that he did some fa**oty shit but made a shitload of $. Yeah, he’s missing the easy.. $.
Best gay-for-pay performer if ever there was. The down low closet queens will be lining up for it no doubt.
Donston
Yes, hetero worshippers seem to be the only ones still fo’ real interested in this dude. For everyone else, the ridiculous amount of tats (including on his head), the scheming, the scamming, the whining and emotional breakdowns, the obviously fake macho straight voice and persona, and the dull and almost sad videos have become too much. But I don’t think he’s making nearly as much money off of his vids as he did when he first started videos, which is why he quit for a while. I wouldn’t have even known about him if the “gay media” didn’t cover his emotional breakdowns and temper tantrums.
WindChime
Hopefully he has other skills and those skills and what’s in him will carry him through these uncertain times to a more secure life.
AlexEf
I don’t find him hot or even sexy especially with these ugly tattoos.
Raphael
I hate all those “gay-for-pay” porn actors. Almost all of them complain about how they dislike doing it, how much it affects them (as if it were straight porn it would be any better)… Guess what, you’re not doing us any favors! If you don’t like doing it, go home. We don’t want or need you! There are plenty of gay guys ready to start on porn.
WindChime
Really? Plenty of gays ready to perform in adult films? That just sounds like a worse scenario.
Raphael
Yes, really! Exactly how it’s worse? I think that most of us like to see guys enjoying themselves when we watch porn. I don’t get the appeal to watch and think about how disgusted the “straight” guy must be feeling, how many pills he had to take before just to get hard or how he’s thinking about a woman…. It’s not like the industry is short on gay guys to perform, we don’t need straight guys for our porn.
Zambos271
I agree with Raphael. I lose all interest when the guy is obviously not enjoying himself. And he is right about gay performers.
There is nothing hotter than watching Seth Fornea and his big bubble butt get boned and the sheer ecstasy on his face.
WindChime
It’s a worse scenario because it shouldn’t be an option for young people starting out their life doing porn. Very few men are able to get out of that awful business unscathed and undamaged psychologically and physically. I don’t get pleasure by watching people degrading themselves in front of the camera no matter what they say otherwise. There got to be better choices for struggling young men to to have a more fulfilling career.

I don’t understand S/M either. What is the pleasure in being tied, spat on, whipped, abused and humiliated? Yet practitioners exist and I accept their consensual decisions without judgment. Isn’t watching a “disgusted” straight man submitting to gay sex just another form of S/M? Why not just accept the practitioners — and those who watch them — without judgment?
Chrisk
@Bryguyf69. Because one is just play-acting and the other one is real. Like the shame of being gay. So I can see people having judgment on it.
Brian
I think he needs help… maybe a professional to talk to… this just seems sad.
Greg
I doubt that it’s the videos that are keeping him from having a relationship with a girl. He shouldn’t tell them about the videos, but I’ll bet he divulges that info on the first date. If he can’t get a job, it’s probably because of the tattoos. With tattoos, less is more. Also, so many tatts would tell employers that his decision making ability is faulty.
rand503
Exactly. And he should have figured what the word “pseudonym” means when he first started filming.
Prax07
He’s popular with some gays because he’s the ideal of the broken young straight guy that needs taking care of. He’s just bi enough to let a guy get him off, give him money and gifts, and loves the attention.
He’s cute, but yeah, those tattoos are a hideous cry for help. He’s obviously a bit unstable, and some guys love that.
Donston
Yes, a decent percentage of open and closeted gay/homo-leaning men indulge hetero worship and fetishize mental illness. But fetishizing mental illness, emotional instability, identity and sexual behavior is not just a gay male thing.
chicago125
it sickens me how judgmental some gay people can be. Lets judge your looks and lifestyle and see how that turns out.
inbama
It’s just the phoniness and self-hatred involved in “gay-for-pay,” and here it is on display the day after “Pride Weekend” yet!
Donston
This idea that gays can’t have opinions because they’re gays needs to stop. Claiming gay people can’t have disapproving opinions towards anything because theyre gay is a reflection of self-hatred more than anything else.
In the course of a couple years he went from being tattoo free to having a ton all over his body, including his head. So, I understand why some were shocked. I still find him physically appealing. However, the online emotional breakdowns, the whining, the fake deep voice and macho image, the boring vids do equate to people understandably finding him annoying.
As far as the self-hatred of gay-4-pay. Some of these dudes probably legitimately have none to very little passion, attraction or romantic interests in guys. And honestly, if a dude doesn’t unabashedly have interests in men I don’t care who someone identitifies as.
JoeyRamone
Think he’s hot, but troubled and delusional. Don’t anticipate a, ahem, happy ending for him. If he were smart, he’d save whatever money he makes and go to college and get a skill he could use. More likely, he’s gonna ride this train until he either exorcises his demons or his demons destroy him.
MaxTaste
The tattoos look nice but I worry that it hurts to get one.
Josh447
It’s amusing how some overtly up in the head queens turn into nauseating boring armchair therapists about these guys. You’re a total fail. The guy is a marketing success. He understands advertising. He has an audience to prove it.
Wake up. Y’all just got punked. Again.
Donston
He’s not a success, because he’s not making money. Just because some desperate ‘mo’s follow his social media doesn’t mean it equates to finances or legit fame. He already made a video crying about people not paying for his videos any longer. He quit and said he didn’t want to do it any longer. Then he came back out of desperation. He didn’t even mean for his initial videos to get on the internet, but once they were he felt forced to make more. Any pretty boy who gets naked can get people to pay attention to them. Nothing about this dude equates to “success”. Get off everybody’s dick.
I do agree that “gay media’s continued obsession with him is indeed a fail.
Josh447
Donston,
The media success formula this guy used got him what he wanted. The goal, get noticed. He did. What your idea of success is may be entirely different from his. People do weird things all the time to bump up their ratings. He did it. Perfectly. You just bit the bait. He won. No big. Just show biz.
Patsy Stoned 75
He’s the next porn actor suicide, waiting to happen.
Paulie P
he is as reliable as the wind. one day he has an active account the next he doesn’t. it was;t his fault, they banned him, i’m back, i’m gone, i’ll be back….had he embraced his earlier fame and let a studio take over he would be huge and rich… he is a mess. save your troubled whoas to yourself. any girl into him would be into what he does. we all know his type. the massage video has 70K shares, the blowjob video i never have to see again.
Paulie P
*any girl not into him…..
Dymension
My, for someone who protested so much, he’s certainly cum a long way…
Josh447
Yup, and he’s made tens of thousands on his videos. Good job.
darkanser
So many of us who are blessed with good looks rely upon them so much while we’re young and forget the inevitable: that looks fade. Some of us never seem to realize that money while important is not the only criterion for success. Hopefully, he’ll see the light and acquire some more life sustaining skills.
