Alé has two distinct online personas. His artistic and masculine side is Alé and Xtress is the name associated with his amateur porn career. The fiery 27-year-old was born in El Paso, Texas and grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. His online journey started through his drag persona. He started taking “lots of selfies” and that turned into a “self-love journey” that helped him re-examine his masculine and feminine sides. 

He became obsessed with his own image and at some point in 2020, he took a provocative self-portrait, crouching nude in a “frog pose” on a pedestal against a dramatic sky. It went viral. He describes this image as a nod to his fascination with vintage porn. He was influenced by pioneers like Peter Berlin, who used subscription models to share their work. “A friend sent me this Peter Berlin book, and this was the push I needed while I was contemplating creating an OnlyFans.” Alé hopes to achieve an artistic and financial mix in his practice like Berlin.

His first post on OF was a “vintage-style porn” trailer he made with friends in Phoenix, “water sports, voyeurism, duct tape, spit play all condensed in one, some of the things I like.” Prior to this current chapter, Alé had some experience with sex work during college, which gave him inside perspective into the dynamics of adult content that fulfills niche fantasies. “I had a client who loved ballbusting and another who loved wrestling and underwear. It was purely fetish and kink-fueled, never intercourse.”

Alé revealed that he can write very good calligraphy and he loves to sleep naked. He loves his pelvis, v-line, hips, and on other men the armpits, “the masculinity of it all.” He lost his virginity with the first person to ever ask him, “are you gay?” a guy that he went to summer camp with. His ideal man must have good taste. Back in high school, his first lover was his straight best friend. “He was into motocross and I was this groupie who would go with him to all his tournaments. It was super platonic and we would cuddle.” Things that make him happy are “my friends, my family, good food, porn, and Mexico.”
