    Ep #13: Parenting, Porn & Perfect Camera Angles with Brother Love

    Send us a text A veteran of the adult industry, single dad, and unapologetic straight-shooter… today I’m sitting down with Brother Love for one of the most honest behind-the-scenes conversations you’ll ever hear. We talk about everything — from balancing school drop-offs and set call times, to why modern porn feels so different from the “porn star era,” to the brutal reality of trying to survive on platforms like OnlyFans in 2025. Brother Love breaks down what really happens on set: how camera angles and performer awareness make or break a scene, why big butts and big thighs are secretly a nightmare for directors, and the difference between a responsible male performer and a guy who just shows up with a big ego. We also get into the messy truth of the industry: Single parents in porn and how he built a routine that actually worksWhy so many new performers feel pressured to say “yes” and how that needs to changeThe rise and fall of glam porn, reality porn, step-fantasy, and where he thinks the next big trend might come fromThe grind of fan platforms, management companies, and why “just start an OnlyFans” is terrible adviceAnd because this is In the Thickk of It, we end exactly where you wouldn’t expect: archery, guns, and why traditional skills still matter in a tech and AI-driven world. If you’re curious about what life really looks like for long-time creators, parents, and crew in the adult industry — beyond the clickbait and the stereotypes — this episode is for you.
