EDGE Interview: JustFor.Fans Creator Blew Velvet Isn't Softening for 2025

There should be plenty of time for that since he doesn't have a contract with any major adult studio. He doesn't want one. "It'd have to be a pretty fierce stack of papers to get me into exclusivity!"

But there are models he would like to work with, he says. He currently favors Jonathan Miranda, and he's not alone. Latino men have become a popular search term in the industry. PornHub just released their most searched-for terms, and "Latino" is up eight spots over last year. It's a big win for diversity considering "twink" remains at number one.

To that, Blew says the industry is as diverse as the people who have access to production equipment. He adds that even he doesn't have to be the stereotypical tattooed troublemaking punk, twinks don't have to be a submissive cliché, and men of color no longer have to be portrayed as faceless well-endowed dominant tops.

"Don't get me wrong I think studios have historically responded to audience metrics and consumer data, but those same studios are the ones for perpetuating standards that often box minority content producers into small corners," Blew contends. "That being said, there is also power in branding and being able to formulate your porn branding to tap into deep wells that were there before you got there. But more and more I think that the porn world is allowing people to fill in niches that have always existed, letting people find out that their uniqueness doesn't need to be exacerbated in order to garner followers, etc, sometimes it is just as organic as being yourself."

That's what Blew wants to be in 2025 – himself. Maybe a more enhanced version. "Right now my goals are to complete school in 2026, I have two music projects to finish before summer of 2025 too," he says. "Otherwise, I'll be spending 2025 with heaps of beautiful people on and off camera, so please come by and stay tuned."
