Gay sex workers are sending nudes to people who can prove they’ve donated to Australian wildfire relief
As the Australia wildfires continue to rage on, gay sex workers have come up with a strategy to help: sending nudes to fans who can show that they’ve donated to the relief efforts.
This follows the news that model Kaylen Ward, who reportedly raised more than $1 million for the Australian relief efforts by selling nudes via Instagram, had her account deleted as a result.
The premise is simple: people show gay sex workers proof they’ve donated at least $10 to the cause and in return get sent a nude photo.
Rocco Steele, a gay sex worker based in New York who self-describes as the “king of all daddies”, said he’d been inspired by Ward’s efforts to begin his own attempts to use his reach on social media to help those affected by the bushfires in Australia.
“Inspired by @lilearthangelk & heartbroken to see devastation in Australia,” Steele tweeted, adding, “anybody who donates $10 USD or more to a legit charity to that helps with the efforts in Australia, I will DM you a naked pic of myself. You must show me proof of donation.”

On Instagram, a gay male sex worker called Caged Jock also made a similar offer.
“Joining forces with Kaylen Ward, I am giving a 30-days free access to my fans page if you donate at least $10 to any charity that help to combat the Australian fire,” he said.
“DM receipt and I will give you a code to access with no extra charge. No questions asked. This promo has no expiration date because there is no such thing as expiration date for charity.”
The fires in Australia are unprecedented, and people around the world have been raising money to help those affected. Comedian Celeste Barber has raised more than $40 million for the cause, while celebrities including Pink, Kylie Minogue and Nicole Kidman have individually donated half a million dollars each.
