Welcome to our recurring feature LGBTQ+MV, wherein each installment a different person tells us about navigating the world as LGBTQ+ MV Star. If you’re an MV Star, who wants to submit then let us know in the comments below or email our blog editor at jonathan@manyvids.com. This week we have the couple CallumandCole reflecting on their first year as adult creators, take it away CallumandCole:

Over a year now into our journey in the adult industry and we both have grown so much together and as individuals, but most importantly we still LOVE every part of it from performing Live to creating fan content.

The support we have received from MV Members, our viewers, and fans has been overwhelming and in our first year they got us a big prize and helped get us crowned Prowler's "European Best Cam Performers!" Attending the event and receiving the award on stage was in itself an honor and crazy experience but something we never even thought would be a possibility or ever imagined when we started camming in secret, just a year earlier, from Cole's bedroom at his parent's house

When we started camming, we had no ambition or goal in the industry; it was just for fun and a secret we never thought we would share. It took us around a year to finally open up to everyone, winning "Europe's Best Cam Performers" helped with that hugely as it showed us the massive support from our fans and the opportunities that may be possible in the future if we pursued this.

The biggest challenge we faced was again to be open and proud of what we do. Coming from a smaller city where we don’t know of anyone who has done in this type of work, it was a bit challenging sometimes we questioned if we had made the right decision–but now we both know the decision we made was right reflection back on it the only thing we would have done differently was to open up earlier to have better support from the people around us when things got hard.

Now, the next big thing for us is to travel. We both feel like the world is too big of a place to not see what other ways life and different cultures there are out there. Also, Callum would love to go on a safari as he’s animal obsessed, LOL

We’re both very open people who love new challenges and experiences, so I guess it was only natural that once a part of the adult industry we fell in love with it, the freedom it comes with is undeniable addictive and the success we’ve had has done a lot to empower us as individuals. We are so thankful for all the opportunity’s that continue to open up for us and are still enjoying every part of our journey but more so being able to share our love with the world

So once again we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us so far all our fans viewers and Manyvids for helping us in our journey to explore this industry more and an amazing open and judgment-free platform for us to share it with you
