Pornhub’s most-viewed amateurs of 2022 racked up over 1.2 billion views and opened up about the key to their success.
If you’ve been married for a while, you may be looking for a way to spice up your love life and one couple certainly decided to do just that – but just in full view of the internet too.
And not just once or twice, but over 250 times! Yiny, 38 and Leon, 42 – who go by the name Yinyleon – uploaded hundreds of videos to the adult film site within just four years of entering the world of adult entertainment.
The videos ended up racking in some serious numbers too, obtaining more than 1.2 billion views so much so, the pair were named Pornhub’s most-viewed amateur model of the year for the second time in 2022.
The adult film stars later opened up about why they believe they’re so successful, joking while they’re both just ‘very horny’ there’s definitely a lot more that goes into their videos than just that.
Speaking to BuzzFeed News, the couple said they ventured into the adult industry after watching a YouTube video of another couple talking about their success in it.

“We were always very sexual, and we said, ‘Let’s do porn’,” said Yiny.
In their first month they made more than $2,000 and they went on to amass between $15,000 and $25,000 a month.
Leon said at the time: “It’s ridiculous. I was in the military for 13 years, but I left because what I made in the Army in a year, here I make in a month and a half, two months.”
The pair reveal it’s their outdoor videos which helped them stand out most – filming themselves having sex in the middle of a run or hike.
And it’s clearly paid off too, the category having grown 121 percent in 2022, according to Pornhub.
However, despite their success, Leon doesn’t ‘consider’ himself a porn star, noting: “It’s never going to be my intention to try to look professional or anything. But thank God people say, ‘Wow, what great production you guys have’. Really, it’s just us with a cellphone.”
Yiny added: “I think that’s why we rose to the top — because everything looks so real, the ladies are so comfy on the grass, while we’re on top of rocks, trees…anywhere.”
