A construction worker's life drastically changes when a video in which he appears shirtless goes viral. Out of nowhere, the hunky 46 years-old becomes a sensation in the gay community! And when he realizes how much money he can make selling pictures and videos of himself online... Bruce decides to become Silver Fox!
SILVER FOX
Chapter 2: Going viral 101
Becoming a viral sensation online is an experience pretty difficult to describe... or to process.
It is as if your entire life changes in the span of a few hours, and at the same time, nothing really is different.
It was not like I was being recognized in the streets, suddenly answering interviews, or making money.
I was not "famous" per say, but hundreds of thousands of people were commenting my appearance on social media.
Forums threads opened to try identifying me; the viral clip was edited many times to focus alternatively on my bulge, my bushy armpits, or my pecs; people were joking about buying my drenched-with-sweat tank top... Or were they joking?
I did not think that my body looked that good but apparently, I was a 10 out of 10 in their books.
"Dad bod at its very best!" Said one comment.
I had downloaded TikTok and created an account to check if any hot chick reacting to the video was catching my eye, but I ended-up spending an entire afternoon reading the comments of gay men lusting (or thirsting, as they would say) over me.
I learned a lot in a few hours.
Until then, I had never heard about the concept of gooning. But it appeared very clearly that many guys were gooning all over my video.
I saw a few clips of twinks (another word I discovered that day) wanking off, fingering, or dildoing themselves watching the notorious clip.
Some of these men could do things with their assholes I did not even think were possible. Did you know that a well-trained male butt hole can stretch to incredible length?!
Strangely, I was not too weirded out by it.
On the contrary, I was proud of the effect I had on these horny guys.
Without even trying, I had turned them on. They thought of me as the ultimate fantasy.
They wanted to be man-handled by my worker's hands.
They were praising my physique, my firm muscles despite being in my late forties, my manly attitude, even down to my salt and pepper hair.
I am not going to lie, this felt good to read.
Life had beat me down so many times and it felt like karma was finally hitting right. Those strangers were feeding my ego and that was making my fat dick rise to the fullest.
Who knew that "likes" could do that to your libido?
I thought about my bitch of an ex-wife, when she would stumble on the video and realize what she was missing with her white-collar husband.
I bet the lawyer's cock was half my size and that he could not use it properly!
I also vividly remembered the way I had freaked out when I had caught my first grey hair, thinking that my life as a quote-on-quote "attractive man" was over.
I was too old to seduce anyone... That was some bullshit I had been telling myself!
But my best personal revenge was probably to see Nick desperately trying to emulate the same viral moment on site.
To imitate me, he had let go of the silly dances to record himself working instead.
Not that he was working any more than before, it was only for show.
He could not let go of his phone (it was even worse now), and he had filmed maybe 50 shirtless clips to pick the best one to post.
In many of them, he was doing exactly as I had done: wringing the sweat out of his top, trying to act all macho and manly.
What an idiot.
Sure, he looked fit and he was a cute fella, but he did not get it. He was a jock in a world where people were eager for a beefy daddy!
His videos did well in the context of his page but none reached the level of the clip featuring me, which had reached nearly one million views at this point.
Yes, you read that right, one freaking million.
I admit, I had also become somewhat obsessed with the numbers, comparing my brand-new account SilverFox's stats to FreshNick's numbers.
I had been making fun of the Gen Z for so long and now, I was the one refreshing the app every thirty seconds until the moment I would pass Nick in terms of followers.
Rather pathetic, I am aware.
To be fair, it is sort of addictive to see the numbers grow, and it can get quite disappointing when you realize that it slows down.
In today's world, one viral clip is quickly replaced by the other, and three days after I had had my big moment, the excitement was already dying down.
Nick was persisting in posting the same videos over and over again but I had done nothing to really cultivate my sudden, - and very flimsy -, fame.
"What did you think, man? That the video would remain on top of the algorithm forever?" Jimmy mocked me at work.
"Of course not. It's just odd to gain so many new subscribers one day and then, barely none the next one."
"Why people should follow your TikTok? You don't post shit."
"Damn, I simply wished I had passed Nick's numbers of followers before it was over! I was so close. It'd have shut his sassy mouth for good."
"Yes, but he keeps growing because he keeps posting."
I hated myself for doing this but at the same time, it was way too frustrating to stop there.
What else did I have to do anyway? I was living by myself and I did not have any hobby aside from fucking pussies and working-out.
When I came back home, I took a shower and looking at myself in the mirror, I thought it would not hurt to post a quick video, if only to thank the people who had supported me and to confirm this was my actual account.
A bunch of fake pages had been created, pretending they were me. Can you believe that? Noone could ever replace Silver Fox!
Anyway, I wrapped a towel around my waist but I only filmed my upper body.
My chest was wet because of the shower so I thought it would be a fitting follow-up to the sweaty rooftop's video.
"Hey guys, just wanted to confirm that this is my real page. Thank you everyone for the love and kind comments. I appreciate it!"
The message was a bit cringy, especially as the large majority of the comments I was getting were not kind but overly sexual, but eh, I was genuinely grateful for the ego boost that they had brought me.
Besides, the clip did work!
I received a lot of engagements right away and people seemed to dig it, well, to dig me.
"Wet Silver Fox is back at it again, guys!"
"Were you naked filming this video? Please say yes!"
"Hottest Daddy on the Internet!"
"I don't give him two days before opening a FansVips."
Here they were again, with the FansVips' page. Half of the private messages I was getting was to get a link to my x-rated private platform.
I had none.
I would not even know where to start with this shit.
Even though I was having fun toying with my sudden celebrity and getting Nick all riled up, I was not taking it that seriously or considering whatever was happening to me as a getaway to a potential "career".
Why would that even mean?
I loved to bang chicks and I was packing a massive dick between my legs, but come on, I was not a pornstar!
For the most part, I was still very much focused on my construction work and on the gym.
I guess that the recent events had played a role in making me hit the gym even harder.
It felt nice to be desired and I wanted to keep this trend going.
I kept on posting videos regularly, trying to keep it real, and eventually, a week after the first video, I did pass Nick's number of followers.
