In 2022, Pornhub’s leading amateur models garnered over 1.2 billion views and shared insights into their thriving success.
For couples seeking to invigorate their romantic life, one pair decided to do just that—while broadcasting it on the internet.
Not just for a short stint, but over 250 times. Yiny, 38, and Leon, 42, known online as Yinyleon, have uploaded hundreds of videos to the adult platform within four years of delving into the adult entertainment industry.
These videos have been extraordinarily popular, accumulating more than 1.2 billion views. As a result, the couple was recognized as Pornhub’s most-viewed amateur model of the year for the second consecutive year in 2022.
The adult entertainers have since discussed the factors behind their success, humorously noting that while they’re both ‘very horny’, there’s more substance behind their videos.
In an interview with BuzzFeed News, the couple explained that their journey into adult entertainment began after they watched a YouTube video featuring another couple discussing their own success in the field.
“We were always very sexual, and we said, ‘Let’s do porn’,” Yiny recounted.
In their inaugural month, they earned over $2,000, eventually making between $15,000 and $25,000 monthly.
Leon commented: “It’s ridiculous. I was in the military for 13 years, but I left because what I made in the Army in a year, here I make in a month and a half, two months.”
The couple attributes much of their distinctiveness to their outdoor videos—capturing themselves in intimate moments during runs or hikes.
This strategy has evidently worked well, as the category expanded by 121 percent in 2022, according to Pornhub.
Despite their achievements, Leon remarked that he doesn’t view himself as a porn star, saying, “It’s never going to be my intention to try to look professional or anything. But thank God people say, ‘Wow, what great production you guys have’. Really, it’s just us with a cellphone.”
Yiny added: “I think that’s why we rose to the top — because everything looks so real, the ladies are so comfy on the grass, while we’re on top of rocks, trees…anywhere.”
