GayHoopla just sent out a press release celebrating its 10 years in business. Too bad the studio announced it will be “shifting from hardcore sex scenes to refocus on amateur solos, interactive interviews, model access, and gamifying the site.” This sounds like they are going back to their roots since the studio’s founders and some team members started their porn career on solo-focused porn sites like Fratmen and Fradpad. They also talked about two new interactive features like “Tryouts” and “Leaderboard.” Check out the press release below.
GayHoopla.com is celebrating their milestone 10 year anniversary this month. What started as an ambitious journey for two young models, grew to be a top-contending independent studio releasing innovative content and giving fans something to talk about weekly.
In 10 years of business, GayHoopla has filmed over 400 amateur models, released 1,000+ hours of content, entertained 750K+ members and amassed over 2 Billion views on social and tube sites. “It is with immense pride and gratitude that we announce our 10th Anniversary, a momentous occasion that marks a decade of overcoming adversity and pioneering change in the gay industry.” said Co-founder of GayHoopla, La El. “We cannot thank our supporters and members enough for being a part of this incredible journey with us.”
La El continued by saying, “When we first started, the odds were against us. We were sued unfairly by our ex-employer and faced a large lack of income. We never lost our drive though.” He and Co-Founder Dmitry Dickov were relentless in putting everything on the line to see GayHoopla succeed. “We worked every damn day, not paying ourselves, and filming in the same house we lived in,” said Dmitry. The brand faced no shortage of negativity and roadblocks, but their passion for creating authentic content and working with eager amateur models fueled their ongoing resilience.
After 10 years, GayHoopla is still standing as one of the top producing independent studios in the Gay Porn Industry. Their loyal members, core team of experienced staff, and supportive community have been unwavering in their support and encouragement. “We’d be nothing without the past decade of support from our fans” said La El. “It means everything to us”.
As GayHoopla expands into its 10th year, members will see some exciting changes, including two new interactive features: TRYOUTS and LEADERBOARD. Both features are brand new to the adult gay industry and will allow members to engage with amateur models, while new applicants can showcase their photos and videos to be voted on by members. Finally, GayHoopla members will have a say in who they see on the site! More LIVE Cams will be added to the shoot house and even more access to GayHoopla models will be possible. In the coming months, expect more never-before-seen throwbacks and behind-the-scenes footage from the early days of GayHoopla, as archives full of footage will be posted for exclusive members to watch.
This year, GayHoopla is dedicated to improving the user experience and will be shifting from hardcore sex scenes to refocus on amateur solos, interactive interviews, model access, and gamifying the site. GayHoopla’s parent company, Blurred Media, is currently focused on growing into an immersive and experiential porn company that people haven’t seen from the brand before.
Live activity feeds, robust profiles, and a new reward system will offer members a customized experience that is full of thrilling, interactive and immersive features.
GayHoopla is starting a new decade with custom features and website experiences while looking back with deep, heartfelt, gratitude for where they began in 2013. Their team is constantly driven by the goal of evolving with their fans in order to provide exceptional services to their members.

Site is dead. I wonder how many people will stick around.
kevin says
I hope none
BRT says
Straight owned fake gay now going pure straight thinking. Big surprise. Never liked them, won’t miss them.
Red says
This type of porn has been dead for years. We’re only recognizing it now because of the foulness they’ve been releasing. RIP Sean Cody, Corbin Fisher, GH. All slew by OF.
It’s difficult to find real good quality amature porn now.
Mike says
It’s just a polite way of saying “our business model failed and we can no longer compete.” I’m disappointed if I’m being honest. Despite several flaws with Gayhoopla, they actually introduced some of the hottest guys in gay porn to the industry.
Performers like Sean Costin, Derek Jones, James Manziel, Bradley Whitman, Cole Money, Channing Rodd, Alex Griffen, Apollo Parker, Baron Wade, Jayden Marcos, Dustin Hazel, Ethan Minor, Jaxson Briggs, Jerry Cabrera, Jordan Joseph, Julian Rodriguez, Kellman Hartman, the late Kyle Dean, Leon Foreman, Leslie Madison, Marc Wallace, Lucas Garza, Brock Bradley, Bryce Beckett, Andre Willis, Sage Hardwell, Ken Ott, Collin Simpson (before he went bonkers), Jeremy Barker (and that amazing ass of his) and many others. I also appreciate that although Gayhoopla was late to bareback fucking by about three years, they eventually got around to shooting raw scenes.
Gayhoopla was always doomed IMO because they had two straight men, Lal El and Dmitry Dickov, producing content for gay men. Sometimes they got it right, but too many times they missed the boat.
In the age of Only Fans, Just For Fans, 4 My Fans, etc., Gayhoopla will never survive producing solos only. I’ve subscribed to the site “on and off” over the years. I’ve also purchased many scenes when Gayhoopla started offering that option a few years ago. I HAVE ZERO interest in subscribing to Gayhoopla or any site that only produces jerk off and solo scenes. I doubt many gay porn consumers are interested in solo only scenes either, especially when there’s so much good content featuring raw fucking.
I could be wrong, but if I were a betting person, I’d wager that Gayhoopla will be out of business before the end of the summer. I won’t be sad to see it go, but I’m kinda’ sad now as I liked many of their scenes.
Oh well, such is life.
LMH says
Oooofff looks like another ship has sunk….
Javk says
The site’s been dying for a while now! They were obviously having a hard time recruiting high quality models willing to have gay sex especially for the little amount of money the porn company is willing to pay. It should not be a surprise though, high quality models have found they can make way more money while doing way less on OF! it’s really just going back to the way it used to be where the models dictated their pay rate!
Alfred says
Goodbye Gayhoopla
kevin says
I hope since they are not showing gay scenes anymore I will not hear anything from them on this site and others focused on men having sex with other men….they should just go away!
Michael1711 says
It has been 10 years into this industry and Gayhoopla has learned nothing about what appeals to the gay consumer, which is gay, raw sex. There is a section of us who do enjoy gay4pay. But, let’s be serious, porn viewership is a fantasy so if they think gay men will pay for solos when OF, Just for Fans and even free Twitter provide raw/bb content, they are sadly mistaken. It may have been more plausible to indulge in solos, pre-pandemic but now that folks are able to travel, we expect more and better content. Contrary to Gayhoopla’s name sake: excited commotion. There is no excitement concerning this turn of events or in this announcement. RIP
H says
Dude gay4pay has always existed in gay porn since it’s inception, there just isn’t enough gay men willing to perform in front of a camera for an industry to exist! Most models in gay porn history have been straight men looking for a quick buck, and they were willing to do it in exchange for lots of money and no one in their normal lives finding out. Most actually gave better performances than actual gay models!
CMG says
Never heard so much bullshit but it’s what gay men do. Straight men do not have sex with men for money. They are either bi or gay. Pushing the gay 4 pay bullshit is merely recognising bisexuality, a term demonized by gay men in total disbelief a man could be attracted to men and women. It’s also an insult to heterosexuals suggesting their sexuality can be bought by money. The gays would be very angry if the tables were turned.
H says
my bad, misread your comment!
Lolo says
Its too bad. Say what you will about Gayhoopla, they introduced one of the hottest guys in the industry. Tony Romero! That ass alone. Bradley Whitman. So sexy. Sage Hardwell. Gorgeous. And many more… They didn’t always stuck “gold”, but when they did: they did produce some amazing scenes. NOONE is interested in solos, so I guess its over…
Kevin Jones says
So long Gayhoopla!
Lindie Jones says
How long the site will be online before the end? July? I don’t think. They’re too proud to give up that early. Maybe December. Any month of 2024 is out of question if they don’t resume producing new gay sex videos.
Youknow says
I refuse to ever subscribe to anyone’s onlyfans. Simply because you don’t know what you’re gonna get. 95% of the time its trash 30 second vids and without faces. Also awful lighting and angles.
J says
Depends on the model. Teddy Bear, Logan Stevens, Morgan Thicke, and Ian Holms do not do short clips and the lighting is pretty good. Some do just teaser clips and make you buy PPV–for sometimes more than your monthly subscription…those models I avoid.
John Rt says
Totally agree. Subscribe only to find out that everything posted is an additional pay to view. Or that there are only 3-5 pics, and no updates for 2 months. Unless OF takes steps to reduce scamming by requiring info on what you are getting for your subscription, I will never subscribe. Actual number of posts, # videos, # photos should also be shown—some pages show that info, but not others. Obviously not including it is just an aid to deception.
J says
PrEP killed Titan. OF/JFF/4MF killed studio porn–although RFC has managed to surf that with its RFC Channels feature. GayHoopla was already in steep decline.
konrad says
I tend to think homophobia killed GH…
CMG says
It’s not just goodbye Gayhoopla, but many of the once great sites are a shadow of their former selves. Chaosmen springs to mind. Once filled with beautiful non mainstream gay and Bi men, which was what made it unique. Now it’s all the usual guys who have performed for years across many sites.
BSB doesn’t even try to pretend the guys are straight (straight men don’t do sex with other men, but a great turn on for many men) they just start the sex.
For me, despite a vast gay porn collection, I don’t think I have ever watched a solo jerk off scene through to the end. I doubt Gayhoopla will survive, but it does have a vast back catalogue that will no doubt be swallowed up by the big boys like sayuncle (whats that all about?)
