Straight Aussie 'Himbo' Girthmasterr an OnlyFans Hit with Other Straight Men
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 5 MIN.
The internet is going wild for a 30-year-old self-described Australian "himbo" who goes by the moniker Girthmasterr and whose lucrative OnlyFans nets him up to $80,000 a month... with much of his traffic coming from other straight guys.
"Twitter feeds on Tuesday were dominated by a 90-second, man-on-the-street interview with a man who calls himself 'The Girth Master,'" the Daily Beast reported, using an alternate spelling for his moniker. (The spelling here comes from his OnlyFans page and his highly NSFW Twitter account.)
"Sporting a red baseball hat and small green shorts and absolutely towering over the woman holding the microphone, the Girth Master casually explained that he works as an OnlyFans creator and makes $40,000 to $80,000 a month," the Daily Beast added.
Payday envy struck his legions of instant fans, of course, but that's secondary to the envy of another sort that mere mortals no doubt felt.
The instantly viral internet star has been on OnlyFans, where he posts explicit solo content, for about two years. He owes his success to his strapping frame, rugged good looks, on-camera ease in his own skin (which is all he's wearing in his explicit videos), and a natural endowment that makes the eggplant emoji seem petite in comparison. Reports have it that Girthmasterr's penis measures eight inches in length and a whopping seven inches around, making it clear where his online name comes from. Visual proof is abundantly available at his X account, including a photo showing the member in question side-by-side with a wine bottle.
But brace yourself, gay fans: The viral sensation's clips on X involved women, and he says he's not interested in doing any same-sex content. He cites ethical concerns as reason... and they're not the high-horse anti-gay moralizing you might automatically expect.
Saying he'd "be ripping off" his gay audience if he posted explicit material showing with another man, Girthmasterr explained to Rolling Stone, "I only want to create things that I enjoy and that I kind of have a vision for," and added that "It would kind of be a cash grab in a sense" if he made explicit content with another man just for the money. "And I just wouldn't feel ethical."
Ready for another surprise? Rolling Stone relayed that "the Girthmaster says that while his audience is majority male, he estimates only about 15 percent of that audience identifies as gay in real life - 'though I think there's some flexibility there' in terms of their orientations, as he puts it."
Though he has no plans to appear in videos with other guys, Girthmasterr assures his X followers that "Everybody is welcome 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️" at his accounts.
Talking with the Daily Beast, the towering Aussie explained that he wasn't expecting a lot of dosh when he took a girlfriend's advice to move from X to OnlyFans with this explicit content. But now, to his surprise, he's making a nice living and paying back the loans he got from relatives when he was much worse off financially than he is now.
Girthmasterr (he declined to give his real name), citing internet "crazies" who delusionally think he's going to steal their women, recalled that he "did a whole bunch of random jobs" prior to becoming a porn success.
"I was a handyman, a landscaper, a baggage handler, a pizza boy, worked in grocery stores, did receiving, did food service, clothing, retail - any and every entry-level job," he told the Beast.
"A lot of them are kinda like porn storyline jobs too, like the pizza boy, the landscaper, things like that," the witty performer cracked.
A natural for the medium, Girthmasterr explained that he's something of a digital native when it comes to online erotica.
"I've always been a bit of an online exhibitionist, since I was 18 on Tumblr, posting nudes online," he told the Beast. "It's a bit of a rush, you know what I mean?"
When his online career "snowballed," that rush only got more intense.
"People around the country hit me up - people all around the world have hit me up - to shoot content with them," Girthmasterr marveled. "And it snowballed to this point where I just won a Pornhub award for Best Big Dick performer."
That's not all - he's got his own "cock clone" from Doc Johnson.
"I don't know, I'm kind of in an insane spotlight right now and it's just been me following it wherever it goes," the viral icon said.
That spotlight might have never found him but for a chance encounter.
"I was in an old T-shirt and little green shorts literally running errands in the city, and I was walking past them," the content creator said of the day he was interviewed for what became a viral video.
"I'd seen them on TikTok - they're an app called Getahead, and they're promoting their job search app," he explained to the Daily Beast. "And I approached them and said, 'Hey, I have a pretty cool job if you wanted to ask me about it.' And they did no screening questions. Just jumped straight into like, 'Roll the camera!'"
Of course, it probably helped that Girthmasterr has no fear of the camera. Even so, he used to avoid revealing his face, he explained, unwilling to get "doxxed." But once his OnlyFans career took off, "It was clear it was gonna be like a long-term thing," he recounted, adding that he had "run out of reasons to not show my face."
"There's a sense of solidarity you get in sex work when you show your face," Girthmasterr noted. "If you're not showing your face, you're not really facing the same public persecution that everybody else faces."
That persecution is real for "those who do sex work," Rolling Stone noted in a profile on the gifted hunk, "particularly if they are women, people of color, or LGBTQ-identified." And the fact that Girthmasterr is clearly a straight guy (his videos often show him in sexual situations with women) seems to have insulated him from the kind of hatred and harassment that people face when they don't fall into the same narrow category (white, straight, male) that he occupies.
"Men get so excited when they find out what I do," he told Rolling Stone. "They shake my hand. I'm kind of the envy of my friends. Whereas women, I feel, get judged a lot more harshly."
"He attributes this double standard in terms of the treatment of sex workers to 'Andrew Tate-type figures online who say OnlyFans creators are low-value women, that women should be modest, and that sort of thing,'" Rolling Stone quoted the Aussie sex god as saying.
"It's insecure men who don't like the idea that women can be independent, and can do all these things themselves and might not need a man in their life."
Girthmasterr is equally clear-eyed when it comes to the fickle nature of his new profession.
"With your OnlyFans subscription count, the number of subscribers you have is like filling a leaking bucket," he said, explaining how the famous $80,000 figure is a peak number and not a constant.
"There's always people that are gonna be trickling out, like any subscription service," he added, "always people that are gonna be canceling their subscription and going away. So it's just a matter of how long you can keep people coming in."
