MY FIRST YEAR WITH AUSTIN
Chapter 16: Adult Male Performer of the year
Jasper did not ask me for anything, but I felt like it was only right to quit my job.
He had done so much to help me keep it, but now, I could see how miserable he was when we were taking on the same shifts.
We would small talk but it was not the same as before, and any time I tried to break the ice about what had happened, he avoided the conversation.
The worst part was that it seemed like Jasper had lost all his confidence and his flirtatious personality with the customers. I felt awful.
Of course, Jasper pretended like he was fine, like nothing had changed, but things were definitely awkward and I could not stand putting him in an uncomfortable position at his work place, especially after everything he had done for me.
About a week after Ralph's debut performance at the Man Cave, I announced to the boss that I was quitting.
It was too bad because I was finally getting along with Mr. Abrozio, and Ralph had landed a weekly gig at the Man Cave, he was to perform there every Thursday night.
Besides, I was starting to get significant tips from a few of the regulars.
Serving the gin tonics shirtless and going to the gym three times a week with Ralph had definitely been helping in that department.
Yet, leaving was the right thing to do.
Jasper eventually thanked me for it. He admitted that we needed some time apart so he could get his "stupid crush away".
I understood the need for some distance. I had literally moved across the country to try to detach myself from Austin after my first year in college.
Thankfully, Jasper and I got friendly again some months later when Jasper found himself a new boyfriend. A nice guy his age named Jamar who was working in video games' design.
I also have to be fully honest here and say that I was not sacrificing much by leaving the Man Cave.
When I quit, I had already a job lined-up with managing Ralph's porn career.
Yes, really!
His social media and X-rated pages were taking off and Ralph needed some help. This time, I had no boyfriend to be weirded-out by this particular job, and I had no reason to say no to the "Nine Inches King".
Honestly, it was strange thinking that I was actually working in the porn business but what can I say? I happened to be pretty good at it!
Not only did I book Ralph a weekly gig at the Man Cave but I also discovered that he had hundreds of messages from his fans left unanswered. The dude just did not know how to run his platforms!
What I had not realized though was how much time I would actually spend on this new "job".
There were many things to deal with, and many of which I had not anticipated.
Setting-up cross-promotions with other models, posting on social media at the right time, posting on the X-rated platform consistently, running several pages at the same time targeting different type of audiences, interacting with fans, selling pay per views videos and negotiating customized content...
Because Ralph was very good at making content but not so good at juggling with all these other aspects, I quickly realized that he was sitting on a shit ton of money that just needed to be collected.
"Bro, I knew it! See, my instinct is always right I freaking knew you should have been helping me from the start. Where have you been before?"
Ralph was both very excited by the prospect of working together, and a bit frustrated by the time wasted, while I was going through the different things that we needed to do to increase his revenues.
"Don't whine about the fact I'm only joining you now, I've been basically helping you for free for seven months!" I snapped back.
We carved out a deal the day I left the Man Cave.
I was managing all his X-rated pages, social medias, and bookings while he was making the content and performing. I would get 15% of his revenues up to a certain number, and then, get 30% once we would have reached the defined threshold.
I was confident that Ralph was not making half of the money he could actually reach so I thought that was potentially a very good deal.
A few weeks in proved to me that I was right and while the subscribers kept on coming, the revenues generated started to grow exponentially. I was notably selling tons of feet content and "inmate roleplay" videos to eager subscribers.
Ralph just had to follow my instructions when shooting the content. More and more often, I was there physically to guide him during the production.
When I advised Ralph to use his mugshot as his profile picture on all of his social media, the numbers grew instantly.
Who knew that my years of consuming porn would become this handy?
"You're a genius, Ty. It's like you're in the heads of these guys! You know exactly what they want!"
I chuckled.
"I'm just gay, man."
"Well, gay people are geniuses!"
That was not really my point but I had no reason to contradict Ralph.
Janice was not too fond of seeing me diving in the exact same world Richard had been frequenting, but she kind of liked Ralph, -- he was making her laugh -, and she had been the one insisting I should find a job quickly.
Besides, she could not deny the money coming in. Ralph had already moved out to a much nicer apartment and in just a couple of weeks, he had paid me several thousand dollars. Not too bad, right?
At that point in our journey, it was time to prepare for our first big collab.
I say "our" collab because even if I was not featured in the videos, I was as much as involved as Ralph in the content. If not more sometimes...
This activity, as weird as it could be at times, was serving as the perfect outlet to think about anything else than Austin or my love life.
You do not realize how much time you can spend on these freaking platforms and chatting with so many people (models or subscribers alike) until you fall deep in it.
I had to consciously stop myself from working or I would have been at it 24/7. It is sort of addicting to see the number grows and difficult to look away from the stats.
Ralph even proposed that I moved in with him since he had a larger flat and since I was sleeping on the couch at the place we were sharing with Janice, but I gently declined.
I was already spending most of my time at Ralph's so I thought that it would be smarter to keep my personal and professional life separated. You know, boundaries! I also had the idea in the back of my head that it was never a good idea to put all your eggs into the same basket.
No matter how sexy, filthy, and tempting the damn basket is!
When I was with Ralph, most of our conversations were revolving around work. Of course, in our case, work meant thinking about all the various ways we could put his freaking nine inches pole to the best use.
We were spending our time either thinking about the next content to shoot, talking about it, shooting it, or editing it.
I cannot count the hours that I spent editing all the perfect angles of Ralph's bodybuilder's banging body, massive dong and fat ass. It was hard not to get distracted if you know what I mean but I kept my jerking-off to the footage to a minimum.
The remainder of the time, we were watching content from other creators, discussing the next naughty trends, or sexting Ralph's fans to entice them into buying more content.
You might think that working with the Nine Inches King would be exciting, it turned out that once you see so much of what is happening backstage, you lose a lot of the magic and of the initial excitement!
It was even overwhelming at times.
Spending my days watching cocks swinging and asshole opening up on my social media's feeds, there really comes a point where you become desensitize to it.
Well... This is only partially true, some of the stuff still got me going! I am only human.
Ralph was often encouraging me to take the camera and film him. As much as I was doing my best to keep it strictly professional, I would be damned if I did not enjoy the eye candy!
I found myself recording close-up shots of his XXL dick in the bathroom as he was sensually washing himself, playing with his foreskin, and then jerking-off.
The man was nutting buckets at each ejaculation, no matter how many times he was cumming during the day, and more often than not, I would get hit by friendly fire.
"Don't get too excited about my cum dripping on you face, Ty!" Ralph would tell me playfully.
"Shut up..." I would reply, licking off the corner of my lips.
