Tom Byron Joins LoyalFans as Brand Ambassador, Touts New Book

CHATSWORTH, Calif.—After a decade away from the porn limelight, bona fide adult industry legend Tom Byron has resurfaced with a pair of new endeavors to trumpet: His own just-launched page on creator site LoyalFans, where he has taken on a role as a brand ambassador, and his forthcoming biography, Fame Is a Whore on Butt Row: The Tom Byron Story. The book, which is due for a summer 2024 release, is being penned by previous Rolling Stone contributing editor Mike Sager, whose 1989 feature for the mag, "The Devil and John Holmes," heavily inspired both Boogie Nights and the Holmes biopic Wonderland. Byron, who has been living in New York since 2019, reveals that while he's been away from the industry, he's continued to stay up to date on its evolution. "I've kept up with what's going on and the shift from feature production to a more interactive experience," he said. "I watched the explosion of sites like OnlyFans during the pandemic and the opportunities that the platform and others like it offer performers and creators like myself. I think it's really cool." After discovering that a longtime friend of his was a principal player at LoyalFans, Byron explained, "I called my friend and we spoke for an hour about what someone with my experience could bring to LoyalFans and he was extremely receptive. When my book is released, there is a considerable opportunity to cross-promote. "I told him I want to be identified with one adult brand when I reemerge into porn society, and I thought LoyalFans was a perfect fit," he continued. "To my delight, he agreed." Detailing what specifically he likes about the platform, Byron said, "I really appreciate the way LoyalFans is set up, and there is a lot more to offer in terms of not only earnings, but huge potential for growth." He pointed to one feature in particular as a major advantage: "You can upload full scenes and clips to their video store ... I have quite a bit of footage that I can upload, so my page will be updated constantly." As to whether he's planning any return to active performing, Byron coyly professed: "Right now my focus is building back my brand. I have dental surgery in April, after which I will be 'camera ready' and want to hit the ground running, with not only promoting my book and LoyalFans, but exploring the possibility of a return in front of the lens. And of course, appearing at all the events and conventions and meeting fans and people I haven't seen since my 10-year hiatus.  "I'm excited for what the future holds."
