JustFor.Fans' Magic Mike Hung Says More Diverse Representation is in Order in Adult Male Content

When Magic Mike Hung was growing up in India, he was very alone. That was in the 1980s, when queer culture was barely on the country's cultural landscape and consensual same sex acts were illegal. Things have changed some in the country, with consensual same-gender sex being made legal in 2018, but in a country where any talk of sex is frown upon, gay sex isn't hasn't the same public awareness as in Western countries. Nor has same-sex marriage been legalized, and homophobia remains rampant.

But another reason why MMH felt so alone is that when he was able to connect sexually, it proved awkward because of his size, which left him further marginalized. "Why aren't you normal?" one partner asked. Internet searches didn't help, revealing white and Black men like himself, but no South Asians (who make a quarter of the world's population). Also, traditional cultural values came into play, as his parents wanted him to marry an Indian woman. He shut down sexually and focused on his education, with plans to move to the United States.

Upon settling in San Francisco, MMH found employment in the tech sector and began to explore his sexuality. He turned to the Kama Sutra, the Indian science of sexual positions, to better understand how he and his partners could fully enjoy gay sex. But he felt he lacked the confidence to fully develop his sexuality. That changed when he turned 40 and he began to gain weight and hired a trainer. Posting workout videos brought little response on social media, but a slo-mo video of his ample endowment brought him fans overnight. Once in shape, he found the confidence to share videos on such social media platforms as X, OnlyFans, and JustFor.Fans. EDGE spoke to MMH about his journey thus far and his belief that South Asian men like himself are not represented in the adult male industry.

EDGE: What is your coming out story?

Magic Mike Hung: Being a teenage gay boy in India, there were not a lot of options. I remember there were AOL rooms, man for man, something like that. I was in denial for the longest time about being gay because, at that time, or even today, gay marriages were not legal. Also, even consensual sex between two same-sex adults was illegal. So, it was difficult for anyone to accept who they were. I did not come out to anyone; instead, I would go into these chat rooms to find somebody like me. I just wanted to understand who I was, and then to meet someone.

I am from a small city in the state of Gujarat, where Gandhi was born. I met a few gay guys, but I was too hung for most of the bottoms in my city. We didn't have proper enemas or douche, and there was only coconut oil or Vaseline to use for lubrication. Most were not very loose or stretched out, so I was too big for most of them. It was not a good experience. I was not able to sexually satisfy any of my bottoms. I was just so big. One guy I was into asked, "Why aren't you normal?" But I thought, "I couldn't be that abnormal. There have to be other people like me."

I started searching online for hung Indian men, but only black and white guys showed up. That made me feel like, "What do I have between my legs?" That made me completely shut down, plus there was no access to HIV or STD care. I decided to focus on my education and move to the U.S.

EDGE: Have you come out to your parents?

Magic Mike Hung: I came out to my parents in my 40s. My mom wanted me to find a pretty girl, and my dad only wanted a rich girl. I said, "If she's pretty and rich, why would she want to come here and cook for me? She would have a better life back in India." They tried to operate my matrimonial profile from India, and I got all these matches, and I had no idea who they were. I would talk to a few people on the phone, but I could not fall in love with anybody over the phone – a guy or a girl. If it's a girl, it's not going to happen. I was sure about that. After I told them, they said, "Come back to India, and we'll beat the gay out of you." Or, "What if we find a girl that's okay with you being gay?" I said, "No, Dad, it doesn't work like that." I'm not out to them as a content creator, and I don't think they'll ever understand. When I go to India, I go there as their son, and I stay with them for a few weeks as a loyal son and don't do anything gay. I see my cousins, uncles, and aunts and celebrate all the marriages and birthdays I have missed.
