Why Did Oympian Matthew Mitcham Join OF?

 

In 2008, Matthew Mitcham made history, becoming the first openly gay man to win an Olympic gold medal. 

Years later, he decided to give Only Fans a try. 

"I spent 20 something years investing in my body so why not try and get some dividends out of that?" he explained. "It just makes complete sense, only going as far as obviously I’m comfortable with and not crossing any of my own boundaries."

It hasn't been easy. Trying to have a public, mainstream career while showing off the goods online, is a very real balancing act.

"...  it’s hard to reconcile with having a mainstream career in television or radio, like who wants to have a TV presenter who’s also a porn star?" he said. "I have found it to be an interesting line to walk where what I share on OnlyFans is not considered porn, so I try and keep it more artistic rather than pornographic."
