They hit hard – and so they want you to look at.
Sexy young potters are trending on TikTok.
Posts with hashtags like #PotteryGuy (4.9 million views), #OnlyPots – an audacious play on the name of the NSFW site OnlyFans with 209 million views – and #PotteryBoy (262 million views) leave viewers thirsty and evoke memories of Patrick Swayze and The long-lasting love scene on Demi Moore’s potter’s wheel within the 90s movie Ghost.
“Pottery is an interesting thing to look at. It’s by nature [sensual] an art form,” Billy Keogh, 23, from Seattle, told The Post.
The 6ft 2 muscular model who lives in Los Angeles and in addition works in cybersecurity has garnered a staggering 1.3 million views on TikTok.
In his posts, he often glances coquettishly at his camera, sinking his fingers into the damp putty, massaging it to a masterpiece.
“Is way [sexual innuendo] in ceramics, he added. “But for me, it’s a pleasant escape that enables me to create beautiful things.”
He first took up ceramics as a hobby in 2018, as a highschool student. Then in 2020, throughout the height of the pandemic, his dad, Bill, also a ceramicist, converted their family garage right into a pottery shed complete with kiln.
In late 2022, Keogh began sharing sensual videos on TikTok of him gently molding cups, bowls, vases, and plates.
Busy women soon flooded his comments and DMs with risqué remarks, sometimes referring to the “Ghost” love scene.
Keogh didn’t watch the video and said some of the voyeur messages were “f–king weird” and made him feel uncomfortable.
“I understand that sex sells, but some have brushed up against me a couple of times,” he said, adding that his parents and three older sisters often tease him about some of the more inappropriate messages he receives.
And Keogh has no intention of stopping publishing.
“While there are individuals who see my work as sexual,” he said, “there are others who see it and are reminded of someone they love or are inspired to create art on their own.”
He is not the one Gen Z guy who’s making the web spin together with his potter’s wheel.
Dax Newman, 21, sculptor from San Diego, California, has 5.8 million followers on TikTok coveting your cup making skills.
Theo Hirschfield, 22, an arts graduate from the College of Creative Studies on the University of California, Santa Barbara, doesn’t even hassle wearing a typical artist’s apron. laying down his bare, muscular armspecs and abs on full display.
The artist generally known as Pottery Boy has collected 49.3 million video views where he spanks, spins and sculptures lump to the pot.
The digital favorite, who hails from Melbourne, Australia, opened his first pottery studio in April 2018. He told The Post that he doesn’t mind stripping down and creating online if it means introducing more people to the pottery world.
“I prefer to spice things up a bit,” said Pottery Boy, 26, of his cheeky clips. (He asked to maintain his real name hidden for privacy.) “For me, it’s totally cathartic and sensual – and the more content I create, the more people I can encourage to try art.”
“Creating pottery is a horny process,” he said with fun. “I’m just entering into it.”
