We’ve all done things we later regretted. If we’re lucky, we learn from our mistakes and move on. But what happens when you can’t move on because the Internet won’t let you? That’s what ex-amateur-gay-for-pay solo performer Michael Hoffman wants to know.
“I lose girl after girl,” Hoffman says in a new video posted on Twitter this week. “I can’t land a relationship.”
Four years ago, Hoffman was at the top of his game. He was known as the young, hot, tatted-up bodybuilder who posted a series of solo videos to a number of pay-for-view gay sites and raked in tens of thousands of dollars.
The videos ranged from titillating to raunchy, and at least one featured Hoffman, who identifies as straight, alongside another guy.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
But now, the young, 20-something ex-performer says his past professional decisions are seriously affecting his ability to find a job or girlfriend.
“My decision four years ago to start making videos has really f*cked me up,” an older, wise Hoffman says. “I lose girl after girl. I can’t land a relationship. Can’t get a job. Can’t go anywhere. Can’t do anything.”
“Every single person I meet finds out or knows about it, gets creeped out, doesn’t want to be f*cking friends with me.”
We can’t help but wonder if that’s really because of the video or if, perhaps, Hoffman has some other character flaws he’s not disclosing. In any event, it’s been tough for him.
“My f*cking life sucks,” he continues. “I regret everything I ever did. Everything. So f*ck my life. F*ck my life, on the roof.”
Hoffman claims he was once paid $10,000 for 14 videos. Now, those same 14 videos only command $250, which is hardly a livable wage. On top of that, he says, he feels serious remorse over the people he hurt.
“I feel bad for a lot of people,” he says in another video. “I have screwed a lot of people over, and, it was not right of me at all. I’ve been going through a really, really rough time with my family, but that’s no excuse to f*ck the people over.”
Hoffman is trying to put his past behind him and is currently training to become a tattoo artist. Here’s hoping he’s able to find peace with his situation.

Ummmm Yeah
So clearly drawing attention to the videos is the way to fix this. By getting the sale of the videos up.

These Bi guys are a Real Hoot! learn to keep your clothes on and then just then you can find a job and a girlfriend
MommieDammit
No where does it mention that he’s “Bi” – he did gay-for-pay and SOLO. Reading comprehension, dear. Get some.
highestbidder
I wouldn’t even really call it “gay for pay”. If it’s the video I’m thinking of, he didn’t really interact with the other guy sexually. The only time they touched each other was when they oiled each other up.
junk4sts
I’m not sure how a guy can be “Gay for Pay” having never done anything with another guy… Does jacking off on camera make a guy gay? I’m thinking jacking off is a male thing, not a gay thing. I wonder what kind of crowd he hangs out with, I’d have no problem being the friend of someone who’d been in the adult industry – assuming he’s got a decent personality, isn’t a hateful or bigoted loser and doesn’t always ask me for money. There’s probably more to his story.
Brian
It’s a stretch of the term, but they’re referring to the way he knowingly chose a gay audience by selling to gay sites rather than only straight ones.
QGridster64
@Junk4sts – I’ve got to believe you’re on to something here…
Goforit
I suspect that his troubles have less to do with his porn past than his personality present.
radiooutmike
Yes. You nailed it.
I mean, yes, maybe some or a lot of woman are squicked out by a potential boyfriend who has done porn. But of the one who might accept it, I don’t think the ‘gay for pay’ issue would bother them.
Dakotahgeo
Not only his present personality but jobs are going to elude one big time when one looks like a walking road show of tattoos. If they don’t allow obvious tattoos in the military, dones Micheal really think the general public or prospective employers going to do hand springs to hire him? Mmmehhh, I think not. He’s more screwed by his body works than anything else and the negative attitude. He has a big job to overcome just his past work.
Herman75
Yup
Mike_M
SO it has nothing to do with his attitude how he interviews for jobs, the way he treats his girlfriend, or anything else, it is all about his stroke play? I doubt it Then there’s the massive tattoos that would be exposed unless he wears a burka. Like it or not, unless you own your own business or practice, tattoos on exposed skin still turn off potential employers unless you’re working in the service industry and even then, some employers wont hire people with exposed tattoo. Also, you may not want to lead in to a interview or relationship with, “Hey I used to stroke my junk on camera for gay web sites.” That may be something you ave for a bit later when they know you better.
redpiano1
The tattoos were my first thought too – especially the one running up the side of his neck. Unless he wants a job in a call center or a mortuary, his job prospects for anything involving public contact are limited. Add in that “poor me” attitude. If his resume made it to the interview stage in my office, it would be cut short by that FML sad sack dance. The reason he can’t get/keep a girl: see above. He looks – and talks – like somebody who just got out of prison. If I saw him walking down the street toward me, I’d likely enough cross to the other side. $10,000 –> $250 iss the downside of gay porn: it’s too easy to age out of the star spotlight. I’m afraid there’s only one level left for him in the porn business. He’s fallen to the depths of Triple Anal. Sad.
MacAdvisor
I would guess a neck tattoo doesn’t help one get a job.
Caligari
Ya think?
It also screams “defendant”.
jack512
“I lose girl after girl” Maybe it’s not your past performance in gay porn that’s the problem. It just might be you current performances with girls.
Donston
The two videos he did with chicks he couldn’t get hard, couldn’t cum and looked completely disinterested. When he did a threesome he stared at the guy the whole time. When he wanked off with another dude he stared at the guy the whole time instead of looking at the str8 porn they were watching. His butthole looks ostensibly stretched out. And his deep voice seems unnatural and cracks a lot. It appears ego-dystonia is also on his long list of issues.
Crystix
I’m surprised he not blaming OBAMA. Maybe Hillary’s emails had something to do with him being a douche.
Just goes to show you that your past can come back to haunt you when you’re looking for a scapegoat to explain why your life is not going anywhere and don’t want to take any personal responsibility.
highestbidder
Why are you bringing politics into it? There’s not even a hint of politics in this story and yet it has to be dragged in somehow. I’m sick and ffffing tired of politics getting interjected into every ffffing conversation. I’m sorry for presenting this in such an offensive or aggressive manner but seriously is it necessary?
BriBri
Maybe you’re just a dick?
Creamsicle
This guy is known more for his video meltdown than for his jack off videos. In particular there was one where, after eating his own jism during a video, he made a video complining about how awful it was for the video to spread abound people to make fun of the fact that an ostensibly “straight” guy was eating cum without anyone prompting him to do so.
The 4chan threads that occasionally pop up about him are more focused on making fun of him as an obvious closet case than they are about his videos. For instance he’s the idiot who sold a bunch of videos to Brentwood Everett’s company for a couple thousand dollars and was SHOCKED to find out that Everett intended to distribute them and not just view them privately.
MommieDammit
Ahh… so THIS is the twink… I’d glanced at a few of the rants, but never really paid attention. Kind of like when you drive by a train-wreck – you know you shouldn’t look, but you just can’t stop yourself.
While I still think that many on the 4chan threads were being vicious little twats – kind of like a few here – the one rant vid I took a glance at struck me as someone very naive, self-absorbed like too damned many of his generation, and not altogether the sharpest pencil in the box. I suspect that comes across to HR managers and potential girlfriends just as clearly.
ParisHiltonsBadEye
Straight guys eat their own jism? Since when?
1RedHottSexyMama
Not sure why he can’t find a girlfriend because he did gay for pay porn. There are lots of women that have no problem being in a relationship with a bisexual man. ? had a long relationship with an actively bisexual man. When ? met him he was uofront and honest about it and ? accepted it and it was never am issue with us. By something he said ? think reveals the actual reason why he can’t find or keep a girlfriend. He stated that “when he tells them or they find out”. That isn’t something that you tell someone on the first date but before you have sex or get into a relationship it should be disclosed that you were in porn and it was gay for pay. That way the person can make an informed decision. There could be a problem with his personality as well that has nothing to do with the sexual aspect of his past.
Donston
Everyone always tries to come up with some excuse to tell about their freaky exploits, especially if it involves sex with a man who has a wife/girlfriend. He hasn’t done anything on camera with a guy. And the couple scenes that he’s done with women were limp-dicked and dull. So, it’s unlikely he’s g4p or bisexual. He’s probably an extremely narcissistic, depressive, self-hating gay/homo-dominant man.
batesmotel
It’s likely not a ‘character flaw’. People love their porn and have their favorites, but being friends with a porn actor, let alone being in a relationship with one especially is not usually high on ones list. To know that the person you’re with slept with everything that moves on film does not a long term relationship make. Yes, I know there are exceptions, but let’s face it, someone looking for a long term love relationship will immediately be doubtful about being with a former porn actor. He’ll have to work on proving them wrong and that he can be faithful to one person.
As for the not being able to find a job, he may need to change his name and eliminate his porn past from his resume. Plus, while he looks hot with all those tattoos, most businesses tend to not take someone seriously covered in tattoos. Not me. I’ll hire him if he can do the job no matter what he looks like, but realistically most won’t depending on the job is going for.
Bob LaBlah
I have seen several of his videos on Pornhub.com and quickly concluded that something is seriously wrong with him It seems hard to believe he was paid one dime for any of those videos. He is what he is: a dime a dozen j/o performer who no one in their right mind should be surprised this is where he is in his life. He looks STONED out of his mind in several of those videos.
extremehumanoid
None of this is true. I’m not saying he might have lost a few jobs if employers are aware of his questionable character, likewise with some women. But, except for media-related work, how many emplyers are liekly to know about his video dalliances. How may women are likely to be monitoring gay porn media to know about his raunchiness? And if they later learn about ti, how many employers are likely to fire him if he’s a good eployee, and it is in his past? How many women are likely to dump him if they have come to love hm, and it is in his past? THIS IS AN ATTENTION-GETTING CRY. How exactly does this publicity help him? I don’t know but I think depending on his real aspirations his racy past and redemption could make him the celebrity this very article has the effect of.
Skip
“Attention-getting cry.” First thing I thought after watching
his vid, Jeez, is this a suicide note?
jkb
He needs to bite the bullet and find a sugar mamma/daddy to help him recalibrate comfortably
CJones01
Shoulda went whole hog and then did a book deal and ran the talk show circuit.
JayDub
Maybe he can’t find a job because of the gawd awful tattoos. Sounds like he’s pretty depressed, but that could be a symptom of the steroid abuse. I doubt any of his life problems can only be attributed to him doing a few nudie videos. Look at the guy on million dollar listings… He seems to be ok.
jhon_siders
Could it also be all the thug wannabe neck ink ?? I will never hire any one with neck or face tats it just screams looser and ghetto thug I have REAL old time bad ass bikers driving my trucks and there ink is coverable when they have to deal with a customer .
RamblingManNJ
Boo hoo
baggins435
I’ve seen some of his videos and I’m guessing the “gay for pay” is because he plays with his butt in some of them. I would hazard that his failure with the ladies and his employment status are a culmination of his past choices rather than just one or two. He made some nasty rants online and screwed over his customers. He created the perfect storm of youth and stupidity and is reaping the consequences. He could find employment with any one of his issues, but all of them combined, I doubt it. There are plenty of former adult entertainers who have moved on with successful careers. I know people with more tattoos than Hoffman and their rule is if you can’t cover it up, don’t get it and neck/face tatts are like a neon sign saying “don’t hire me.” He should have saved the money for college or trade school. Lastly, you don’t just decide to be a tattoo artist, you have to be a talented artist first.
BGinBigD
Poor thang! Weh weh. It’s not like he made one JO video and regretted it. What he regrets is that he no longer can command the money he once did; therefore, now he regrets his decisions. Tell it to someone who cares. It’s called life, now learn to live with it!

Well I’ve communicated with Michael several times on Twiitter. He was offered $10K by @brenteverett.com & Steve Pena for his entire collection & he ended up letting them have it for a small fraction of that! Shrewd Business Man Michael.?I was the #1 Recruiter in TX for the Worlds Largest Life Ins Co. & I knew in the 1st Minute or so If I wanted to pursue a person after meeting them. Yes the Neck Tatts would be a problem for me, but more so was how Michael treated me. I have 33K gay followers. I used to Retweet & promote him. Then when I’d like something, he’d reply back & ask me to Retweet it. I replied on 3 such occasions, I’ll be happy to Retweet U if you’ll follow me in appreciation first. He never did! He wanted what he wanted for his own gain without doing anything in return. I have many non gay followers who follow for all kinds of other topical reasons. But he was all about Michael. So NO, I wouldn’t hire U either Michael. ROD STEEL
mhoffman953
He rips off a lot of people (side note, my screen name was made a long time ago and has no relation to Michael Hoffman)
I’ve heard from people say that he lies on Skype just to make money. He has promised people a dildo mold of his dick which some people gave him $200 for but no such mold ever existed. He’s made claims of being homeless, hungry, and even told one person that he just got robbed and needed money. A year ago, he told someone on Skype that he needed money because his mom died, weeks later he said he needed money because she’s sick, then days later she died again, then a month later he needed money to buy her a birthday gift. He even promises various videos or cam sessions but signs out of Skype after he gets the money, never delivering a video or a cam show. All lies to make a quick buck.
He even ripped of my friend who runs a gay fetish site at In-Charge.net. Michael Hoffman joined that site to sell his videos. Someone requested a custom video from Michael on there and he took the money for the video and never delivered it.
I’ve even heard from some people that Michael Hoffman’s dad is rich. Michael lives in a million dollar home in Texas because his dad owns some farm / food manufacturing business. So he just scams people on Skype for drug money and tattoo money
isxios
Hmmm, so, it’s the porn? Not the tattoos all over him, his attitude, his continuing to bring it up and publicizing it? It isn’t any of those things that are causing him problems?
SMH
woodroad34
hooker says what?
da90027
I smell BS…I think his problems are more due to his personality and those tats up the neck. I know many who have a hard time finding a job when they have visible tats all up the neck. It is an old perception but it makes people think you were a gangbanger wrong as that may be.
BigG
Sounds more like white pretty boy privilege been revoked. Call Iyanla.
Soldier_Medic
“Rod Steel Official”. & “mhoffman953”, you’re on target.
I’ve never met this guy. However, I know people who got caught up/ stung by him. I can confirm this from other friends that he comes from an affluent background, made some bad choices..etc..
Here’s the bigger scoop, to say gay for pay is an understatement
As someone else said, “maybe”, this video is click-bait. He had his heartfelt moments months ago and still is putting out videos.
Maybe because tattoo artist aren’t rolling in dough, instead of fast food, he may find this to be his only way to make a living aside from his rich parents. Well, turns out I have friends with deeper pockets than me, who said they hired him, I’m not privy to what went down. My friends pay for escorts all the time, and they individually said right away he was a scammer.
”HOWEVER” only smiles on their faces when asked if they got their money’s worth. So Mike dude, keep it real. You’re an attractive guy you can have girls/ guys. You can have a job, maybe not to your liking, but there is work. From what my friends say, you whoar the concept of gay-4-pay. Just be real with it and get paid for it the right way.
Quit straddling the fence, and scamming people, either you’re in or out. But as of 5 days ago, “you’re still in”, so do it the right way for a change.
Sluggo2007
Try shutting up about your past. You just might see some resuilts.
DCguy
So he “Feels bad or all the people who screwed over” but is blaming the porn for everything.
It sounds like the answer may be much easier. Maybe he was just an ass*ole.
Additionally, if everybody you meet “Already Knows” or finds out about the movies, sounds like you may be talking about them too much. Most jobs you apply for, people aren’t going around trying to find porn shots of you unless there is some indication.
Keebler ILF
This video is creepy. The last video I saw of a guy videotaping himself in a car, complaining about how much his life sucks and not being able to get girls, was with Elliot Rodger just before he went on a shooting spree.
Hope he gets therapy.

To the writer of this article, he didn’t say f my life…on the roof. He said F my life…on the real.

As a PS to my comments Yesterday, I used to make Motivational Speeches to Huge Crowds as a Reg VP, called Attitude is Everything & Everything is Attitude. If a Guy had Desire, Determinination, & an I wanna WIN more than anything ATTITUDE, I’d give him a Shot & provide him with Everything he needed to be Successful. But Michael, in addition to not hiring you for the neck Tatts & Your Selfishness towards ME on Twitter just to get what U wanted from ME, the 3rd Reason I wouldn’t hire you, is because Ur Attitude Totally SUCKS!?

ShowMeGuy
Solo Porn isn’t **gay for pay** or **straight** or **gay**……it is just PORN…..very boring PORN.
Saki
yes!
pscheck2
I think this guy is a complete phony if for no other reason, he blames his past for his present day failures! What is past is past! He doesn’t appear to be the brightest bulb in a light show and from other posters, it appears he is a real douche bag! (He’s probably laughing up his sleeve (if he is wearing one) about how he has elicited sympathy from the public with his golly gee, poor me, post!)
Saki
he ruined his body with all this tattoos
Terrycloth
Not a fan of tats..you want your body to look like a Picasso painting or a coloring book that’s your choice.it will cost him jobs especially the more visible ones neck maybe outdoor work .landscaping or roofing building houses.nobody cares what you look like just do the job.
prarie pup
If interviewing him for a job I’d never know he did porn and that’s not why I wouldn’t hire him: a person who’d cover visible parts of his body, parts clothing won’t cover, is someone who doesn’t make good choices. But that being said this kid has issued a cry for help. I hope he gets it….and QUICK.
Donston
The ridiculous amount of tats, the odd and seeming to be contrived voice, the likely ego-dystonia, the drug use, the scamming, the attention-whoring (he’s been making flexing videos since he was I believe 14)- he clearly needs to get to a therapist’s office before he worries about employment and a partner.
highestbidder
The crazy and frankly weird tattoos seem to be a manifestation of the chaos and confusion in this guy’s mind. And was his last video REALLY 4 years ago? Because it seems like I’ve recently seen him in a shower scene where he was heavily tatted but it might not be a recent one I just thought it was.
Donston
He’s not gonna get the public sympathy he desperately wants unless he’s actually willing to get for real-real. He’s played this “desperate pretty straight boy who’s sorry about screwing people over” thing a few times already.
His last video was just a month ago. I assume he tried to live a “regular” life for a few months then returned to making videos. And yes, the abundance of erratic tats as well as the exhibitionism, the drug use, the anxiety (which he’s admitting to dealing with long ago) and the faux masculinity are all clear signs of having an extreme cluster b personality and having a very chaotic, conflicted sense of self and ego.
WindsorOntario
Well, looking at the cigarette behind his ear in the picture…he could quit smoking. That would save a fortune right there.
IanHunter
Weird. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture. If he stopped he might make more friends too. LOL
gatarharo
“F*ck my life, on the roof”…..on the roof??, that doesn’t even make since…he said “on the REAL!”
and theirs a lot of other stuff about this article that seems to be guess work but whateva
gary69mike
I really think you could get yourself out of that situation. Clean up your act, go to school and make something of your life or… Just become a boy toy for a sugar daddy.
IanHunter
Everyone makes mistakes. The only problem is today our mistakes follow us around for the rest of our life on the internet. I hope that his life gets better, and that we do not see a story on here in the future saying that he committed suicide or overdosed. Tell him just to hang in there.
ptitbearpoilu
None of this is true, then I can prove that he’s coming back to making videos again and he’s getting more and more effeminate.
