Maverick Men
The Maverick Men, also known as Cole and Hunter, are gay pornographic actors and a real life couple. They made their start as Xtube amateurs before moving onto mainstream pornography.
Beginnings
The Maverick Men made a name for themselves their own free channel on Xtube before they were contacted by Xtube administrators about the possibility of becoming Xtube amateurs. With over 100,000,000 views they quickly became one of the most notable gay channels on Xtube, which helped launch their careers into mainstream gay pornography.
Transition to mainstream pornography
After a two-year period as Xtube amateurs they crossed over into mainstream pornography with Manhunt. Manhunt and its parent company Online Buddies Inc, picked up the Maverick Men as their sponsors and created a partnership to launch Cole and Hunter's own website, Maverickmen.com. With the premise of "reality porn" they have now become the eighth most watched gay porn website in the world.
