This story about a popular YouTube vlogger who has revealed that he made a number of gay porn videos has given me some mixed feelings, I must say.

Although he’s quite right that just about anyone should think carefully before deciding to shoot adult content, I do think the negative messages he sends out towards the porn industry are ill-judged coming from a self-styled sex education ‘expert’.

Even more so considering some of the high profile charities he’s worked with. Instead of titling his ‘coming out’ video as ‘I Did Gay Porn & I’m Sorry’, and sending out scare stories that the porn industry preys on the young and naive, how about actually educating people on his experiences?

Because there are some people out there who may not have ‘passion’ for working in porn but genuinely see it as their most viable option for making money. His experiences and advice on how to approach such a career could be vital to such people, rather than resorting to hackneyed headlines.

Overall, it’s a pretty disappointing response from a respected voice who has the ear of many young people and an opportunity missed.
