I’ve mentioned many times that more than 90% of my TV viewing is on YouTube and the Google algorithm pretty much send me what I want to see from sports to news, history, sixties and seventies music and nostalgia and lots of handsome young guys showing off their bodies. This past long weekend I discovered something new to me, called “sleep streams” which are guys who record themselves sleeping for up to ten hours and thousands of fans watching them sleep both on YouTube and Twitch, (which is something I’ve never used nor do I understand).
I couldn’t watch them live, but rather the recorded versions where I can fast forward to the “good stuff”, for me. The thumbnails that “get me” are the guys shirtless, and I found myself watching this one guy in particular who lives in Utah I think. He doesn’t mention his age, but he lives with his family who are often away during the streams. He invites friends over too. When asked they say they are straight, but obviously putting on a show for gay men, and they take donanations on both platforms.
I found an article to explain this phenomenon called
Horny! Guys! Sleeping?
Guess what they're hoping to see?

From the article,
“ He learned of a growing YouTube trend: the horny guy sleep stream. Increasingly, half-naked guys from around the globe have been streaming their slumber for die-hard fans, who sift through footage to
post timestamps of nighttime erections. Some
stream in boxer shorts with their penises visibly at attention; others use YouTube’s membership feature, allowing fans to pay for streaming videos, in skimpier undies and
ass-baring thongs. A small handful of these sleep streamers
have OnlyFans accounts, but the majority don’t, instead adding payment links in their captions so fans can tip them. Weirdly, it’s almost exclusively men making this content, hundreds of whom have uploaded their
sleep streams to YouTube this month alone. Mostly, they can be found by searching for “male sleep stream,” or just the plain old “sleep stream.”
More from the article:
“Really, streamers never know how people are going to engage with their “work.” Lilja just wanted to share his Warhol tribute project, but ended up getting legions of bears hot under the collar. He’s straight, but doesn’t mind the attention. In fact, when he saw the views racking up, he decided to give the gays what they wanted. “I made four or five different streams in one week,” he said. “I streamed myself sleeping on a sofa, on a chair, on a carpet, in the snow—well, I didn’t really sleep in that one. It was too cold.” He even decided to “take more suggestive shots” of his crotch for his fans. “It’s just fun to me that people are finding it and enjoying it,” he said.
YouTube, it’s worth noting, is not a fan. It is currently playing whack-a-mole with horny sleep streams; plenty of them get deleted, and Lilja is worried that if he takes up the site’s offer to monetize his channel, moderators will scrutinize his videos and flag them for explicit content. He’s already had a few videos flagged, so he quickly made them age-restricted, but he’s not about to stop streaming for fear of a few YouTube strikes. If YouTube’s gonna come for him, fine—they’ll have to wake him up first.”
Like I said, I never attempted to watch a ten hour stream but found myself for an hour or more watching fast forwarding for the parts I found erotic. The one who I found most entertaining is the kid from Utah who strips down to tight boxers showing his ass and the shape of his crotch and he had a friend pour peach juice all over his torso. Weird shit but erotic to me.
