And with the rise of direct-to-consumer platforms like OnlyFans and JustForFans, creaming appears to be more popular. You could argue it has become the ultimate signifier of mind-blowing sex, especially within Black gay porn. Online, especially on Twitter, there are debates over whether or not creaming is a legitimate bodily reaction (it is!) or whether it’s something the person producing the cream should get checked out by a physician (possibly!). While creaming can occur in straight sex, creaming in the context of gay porn is when the bottom, the performer in the receptive position, produces a translucent, sometimes white, substance from their anus, a reaction to the pleasure they’re experiencing from the top, the insertive partner.
