If you ever frequent any Los Angeles-area Starbucks locations, you might encounter a 23-year-old Will grudgingly from behind the counter.

“I hate working at Starbucks,” he admits.

For Will, it’s only a temporary gig. He hopes to move to Hawaii to work on an organic farm, something which he is eager to talk about.

Will is a musician—and he looks the part. He’s lanky rather than muscular. He sports tattoos and leather jackets. And his go-to accessory is a pack of cigarettes. Will knows that music won’t pay the bills—even if it’s his passion. Like most 20-somethings, he’s just trying to figure out what he really wants to do in life.

Ladyboners Gone Wild

Will seems like the typical hipster archetype in many ways. Except he’s not. Unlike his peers, Will shares photos of himself—nude photos—to Reddit’s Ladyboners Gone Wild community, earning him thousands of admirers. In fact, he quickly rose through the ranks as one of the community’s most talked about and popular male models.

Ladyboners GW advertises itself as “a place for guys on Reddit to strut their stuff.” The community bans genital close-ups (read: no dick pics), but welcomes full-body nudes. Here’s the catch: Pictures must contain at least some part of a guy’s face. But most men who share full-frontal nudes carefully obstruct their faces.

While the model’s poses are sexually provocative in nature, tons of photos are surprisingly tame—think of shirtless guys just flexing their muscles. It’s a stark contrast to the female-dominated nude model community Gone Wild, where genital closeups are not only allowed but very much encouraged.

Will (who prefers that we only refer to him by his first name) doesn’t remember why he originally started posting nudes.

“I have a bit of an exhibitionist streak in me, I guess,” admits Will, who also goes by Reddit username Straight-eight.

Dealing With the (Potential) Consequences

A year ago, he shared his very first nudes with the public in Reddit’s Massive Cock community (um, you can pretty much guess what that community is all about). It was a low-risk move since he didn’t need to include his face for obvious reasons.

“Someone recommended that I post over at Ladyboners, and I stopped making everything about my dick. [laughs] Having good responses to something other than my dick was refreshing,” Will says. “It was nice. I haven’t been posting to massive cocks ever since.”

“I have a bit of an exhibitionist streak in me, I guess.”

The very first time he revealed his face, however, was on Reddit community Ladyboners GW. So far, he said, nobody in the “real world” has recognized him in person. He keeps his online activities hidden from his employer and family.

“I’m fucking stupid and short-sighted. I do things without thinking about them, and deal with the consequences later,” he says. “Maybe it could come back to bite me in the ass. I guess I wasn’t super nervous about [showing my face].”

His long-term girlfriend doesn’t mind that he posts (his photo sets also frequently include some—NSFW, of course—explicit gifs) though he says she was “weirded out” at first. She, too, has started posting nude photos of herself to Gone Wild.

Exhibitionism

As far as his motivations? Will doesn’t ask for money in return for sharing pictures. He’s not an aspiring model and he has little desire to go into the world of porn (though he says he wouldn’t be opposed if the opportunity knocked on his door).

Instead, he shares, he gets a rush from exhibitionism and any resulting voyeurism.

“I have no financial basis for doing it. I like public sex and that kind of stuff. I like being vaguely adventurous with things like that, with my body, and other people’s bodies,” Will says. “I love going out with my girlfriend and having sex on benches by the pier. People would walk by and it would make it more exciting.”

Though Will wasn’t always as comfortable with his body. “I was very insecure growing up,” he admits.

Gaining Confidence

Ironically, the source of one of his biggest embarrassments stemmed from his most talked about asset: His, um, member. Will was uncircumcised, something which he didn’t come to terms with until later on in his life. To make matters worse: He never considered himself good-looking growing up. Eventually, he started to get positive feedback on his looks and his confidence naturally grew. “When you think you’re unattractive for so long, maybe you overcompensate? I guess that made me an exhibitionist? ‘Ah everybody! Look at me!'” Will muses. Still, he says, he grew up in a sexually open family. His parents were both hippies when they were younger. “My mom is a pretty interesting lady. She was bisexual for most of her life. A lesbian now, ” Will shares. “I think that kind of pushed me into realizing sexuality at an earlier age.” Though Will himself is neither gay nor bisexual—he is sometimes messaged by gay men that browse Ladyboners GW. “I appreciate the attention. They go out of their way to say nice things and that’s fucking great,” he says. “It doesn’t put me off. But, obviously, I am into girls.” The comments that he appreciates the most, however, are the ones that compliment his photography skills rather than his body—whether it comes from gay men or straight females.
