BRAXTON and Madison met through mutual friends, but she had already heard about his F-boy reputation and work as a spicy content creator long before. She told Love Don't Judge, "Some people that I knew actually showed me one of his videos that went viral online." Spencer's notoriety was partly due to his career focusing on making films with men, but as a straight creator. Madison summed it up as, "My boyfriend is only gay when the cameras are rolling." Spencer explained, "I don't collab with girls anymore, I switched my main focus to just guy-on-guy collab. I started at the bottom, making nothing." Now, he makes over $60,000 a month. "Straight creators don't make a lot of money. If you're a gay creator, you make way more money. But if you're a gay creator and you like it, you'll make even more." The couple receives a lot of online trolling across their platforms because of Spencer's chosen profession, working with the opposite gender. They range from "I think your man has a man", "why would a pretty girl like that be with a gay boy like you", to attaching a picture of the Nile River and circling it.

Almost immediately, the couple had an honest conversation and decided that monogamy wasn't the option for them. "We were more interested in having something that's more open and free and fluid. From that point on, we've always had an open door," Gregory explained. Their arrangement means that Natasha is often seeking out women for her man to date. She added, "Gregory's type is just beautiful women." The couple are also adult content creators, but it's something that they face constant judgement over. Despite the negativity, they don't let it get them down. Natasha said, "The judgement makes me feel no type of way. I have very thick skin - I had to have it with the judgement that comes directly from my family. So, honestly it goes right over my head, I mean if they could get it over my head."

WHEN Annie revealed that she'd slept with 300 people last year, the OF star went viral overnight. And while some supported Annie's antics, others were quick to judge her. Annie explained to Love Don't Judge: "I've had very mixed reactions. Some people have been super supportive and then I've had the majority of people judging me, saying that I'm riddled with STIs. That I'm not safe and that I'm disgusting." Annie also revealed that when it comes to sex, there's a clear inequality between men and women. "There's definitely a stigma with women being sexual as opposed to men. I think people accept men as being sexual beings, whereas women are seen as non-sexual beings, which is incorrect." Despite the harsh criticism, Annie remains unfazed by what people think and is determined to keep living the life that she wants to. Defending her daughter's escapades, Annie's mum, Karyn added: "You know what you're doing. Perhaps you're trying to show that a woman can have control of what she does in her life." Annie's friend, Alex, also had concerns of whether her mate was being safe in the bedroom. Annie explained: "I'm very safe because obviously with my work I have to be. You can only film with creators when you're clean, we do full STI checks every two weeks and practice using protection." Reflecting on her journey, Annie said: "What's the difference between a man sleeping with five people in a day and a woman sleeping with five people in a day? I don't understand why when a man does it, they celebrate it and call him a legend, but when a woman does it we're called names and ridiculed. It's just not fair."

ELLIOT and Marie met on New Year's Eve 2020, they have been together for five years and are engaged. On their second date, the pair were getting to know each other and Marie told Elliot she was a barista and asked what he did for work… Elliot wanted to lay his cards on the table before they got in too deep and confessed to Marie that not only was he in the adult industry but the majority of his work was with other men. Marie wasn't put off, in fact, she found Elliot's openness and transparency a green flag. They continued to see each other and built a relationship. Marie explained, "My straight partner makes spicy content for men. When Elliot told me about his naughty content, I thought he was joking." Elliot spoke of people's confusion over his sexuality because of his line of work, "Everyone thinks that I'm not straight, that I'm just playing her or playing everybody else for my content. That in reality, I'm gay." He continued,"Some of the judgement I received from people was everyone thought I was gay. At one point I had a guy roommate and my mom thought I was gay and she was like, 'It's okay', tell everybody that you're gay. And I was like, 'I'm not gay'. Everybody was just stuck on me being gay. I don't know why, I'm a straight man and just working in the gay world." Marie says she has faced judgment for being with Elliot, supporting his career and deciding to join him in the adult industry. She has even lost several friends and close family members because of it. The couple have built up a strong following on social media, opening up about their story, and how jobs in the adult industry can be misunderstood. This has led to a backlash online, with comments like, 'You can say 100 times you are straight, only deluded, gullible gay guys will believe it', 'Come on. No straight man on earth would do that', and 'How could a woman accept this, I bet you are the man of the relationship.'
