Married couple explain how they became Pornhub's most viewed amateurs of 2022

A married couple from Texas have become Pornhub’s most-viewed amateurs for 2022, beating thousands of other verified creators to claim the title.

Now, they’ve explained how they managed it.

Yiny, 38, and her husband Leon, 42, who go by the name Yinyleon, have uploaded around 250 videos to the site which have racked up more than 1.2 billion views.

In doing so they have been named Pornhub’s most-viewed amateur model of the year for the second time and say that their success is down to still being 'very horny' and their desire for each other after nearly 20 years together.

Speaking to BuzzFeed News, the couple said they ventured into the adult industry after watching a YouTube video of another couple talking about their success in it.

“We were always very sexual, and we said, ‘Let’s do porn’,” said Yiny.

In their first month they made more than $2,000 and they now amass between $15,000 and $25,000 a month.

Leon said: “It’s ridiculous. I was in the military for 13 years, but I left because what I made in the Army in a year, here I make in a month and a half, two months.”

While Yinyleon have learned how to light their shots properly over time it’s their outdoor videos which have helped them stand out most, where they film themselves having sex in the middle of a run or hike. It’s a category which has grown 121 percent this year according to Pornhub.

“I don’t consider myself a porn star,” said Leon. “It's never going to be my intention to try to look professional or anything. But thank God people say, 'Wow, what great production you guys have.' Really, it’s just us with a cellphone.”

Yiny added: “I think that’s why we rose to the top — because everything looks so real, the ladies are so comfy on the grass, while we're on top of rocks, trees…anywhere.”

As well as their adventurous clips the couple also re-enact ‘classic porn’ scenes such as the naughty maid or nun who has sex for the first time and have said they have never done girl-girl videos before so it’s something they may explore in the future.

But while the couple film their content two to three times a week, they said they do also have sex off camera too which is strictly for pleasure.
