Despite their massive success, Yiny and Leon don’t see themselves as traditional adult film stars. However, their unconventional journey has propelled them to the top of the amateur content world.
In 2022, this married couple became the most-watched amateur creators on Pornhub, amassing an astonishing 1.2 billion views. Now, they’re opening up about how their unexpected rise to fame came to be.
For many couples, keeping the spark alive means trying new things. But Yiny and Leon took it to another level—turning their most intimate moments into content that captivated millions worldwide.
And it wasn’t just a one-time experiment. The couple, known online as “Yinyleon,” has consistently shared their intimate moments, uploading over 250 videos in just four years and cultivating a massive following in the adult entertainment industry.
Their content has attracted staggering attention, surpassing 1.2 billion views. This overwhelming success didn’t just earn them recognition—it secured them the title of Pornhub’s most-watched amateur creators twice, with another win in 2022.
When asked what fueled their meteoric rise, the couple credited their undeniable chemistry. But according to them, success in the industry isn’t just about being “very horny”—it’s also about their unique approach and content style.
In an interview with BuzzFeed News, they revealed that their journey into adult content was sparked by watching a YouTube video about another couple who had found success in the industry.

“We’ve always had a strong passion for intimacy, so we thought, ‘Why not try adult content?'” Yiny recalled.
In just their first month, they pulled in over $2,000. As they continued posting, their income soared, eventually landing between $15,000 and $25,000 each month.
Looking back on his career change, Leon admitted, “It’s unbelievable. I served in the military for 13 years, but I walked away because what I used to earn in a year, I now make in just six to eight weeks.”
The couple attributes much of their success to their unconventional filming spots. Rather than staying indoors, they often shoot outside—sometimes during hikes or even mid-run.
And their bold move paid off. In 2022, outdoor-themed content surged in popularity, with that category experiencing a staggering 121% growth on Pornhub.
Despite their success, Leon remains adamant that he doesn’t view himself as a professional in the industry. He explained, “I never aim to look professional or anything. But, thank God, people still say, ‘Wow, your production is amazing.’ In reality, it’s just us and a cellphone.”
