Naked Men Talking: Aylan Lust
We talk break-ups, photo-shoots, and his journey of self-discovery.
For our podcast, Naked Men Talking, I caught up with Aylan Lust.
In the conversation, we talk break-ups, photo-shoots, and his journey of self-discovery.
We didn't get to catch up at the Grabby Awards - how was your experience of Torremolinos?
This was my first time at the Grabbys.
It's quite impressive. It's a lot of content creators from all over the world. It was stressful and exhausting.
Why stressful?
I'm quite new in the industry - just one year. For me, I felt like I had to earn my visibility and prove my legitimacy.
But you knew a lot of people there? Did that make it easier?
Yes. I'm in Toulouse, France, so I'm not far from Barcelona - I've spent a lot of time in Barcelona working, so there a lot of friends, contacts, guys that I've worked with. That made it easier.
But it was still a big event, with big names - guys from all over the world, guys I've followed for years.
Would you go back next year?
I think so. But I think I will do it differently.
I was told to overbook myself for collaborations because you get a lot of cancellations at the Grabbys. Strategically, I focused on groups - orgies and gangbangs - because even if a few guys cancel it's probably still going to happen.
That's a pretty good strategy, isn't it? Did that did that work for you?
It worked for me. I booked like three scenes a day for five days - 15 scenes.
By the end of the week, I'd done eight and I was fucking exhausted.
You said that you've only recently begun working in the industry in the last year. How did you discover that this was something that you were passionate about?
It happened step by step.
I started with photo shoots first. I liked it, so I did a lot - something like 60 photo shoots in one year.
What did you like about it?
It was a way for me to work on my body acceptance - my self-confidence.
What was the problem?
I've never been happy with what I see in the mirror.
Right now, I'm very happy with my physique but it took me years to achieve it and I'm still working on accepting my body.
The photoshoots were a way for me to regain the ability to see myself without judging myself.
How did that then progress to filming content?
I had all of these photos from the photoshoots and I wanted to do something with them all - they weren't photos that I could post on Instagram.
So, I started an OnlyFans - just posting the photos. That was back in March of 2025.
Slowly, I then started to make solo videos. I filmed my first collab in July and it published in September. That's when I feel like I really started - publishing my first collabs in September.
When you got to that point in September and you're starting to publish collabs, had you decided by then that it was something that you were going to focus on and take seriously?
At the time, I was unemployed. I focused on OnlyFans as a way of making an income.
My unemployment benefits end in June this year, so that's motivating me to keep going.
Apart from the financial motivation, what's driving your passion for this?
At the start of 2024, my ex-boyfriend broke up with me after 15 years - it was a huge thing. It was a moment of my life when everything collapsed and I had to reconnect with myself to rebuild something that was me. That's led to this journey of sexual exploration and discovery.
In that exploration, what have you discovered about yourself?
I haven't necessarily discovered things, but I have confirmed things.
For example, after the scenes that I filmed at the Grabbys, I definitely know now that I'm not into orgies or big groups - it's not my energy, it's not my vibe. I'm not into sex without any meaning, without any sensuality, without any passion.
In your private life as well as on camera?
Yes, 100 percent.
Given the journey of exploration that you've been on, are there any lessons or insights that you wish that you'd learned earlier? Anything that you could tell your younger-self?
I would say to myself to stop fear.
I regret not having started earlier. Even when I first started thinking about this, I waited months before taking the first step.
For me, making the first move - starting to publish the first photos - it was a huge thing. So I would say, stop thinking, do it. You learn by doing not by waiting until it's the perfect moment.
