"There's a fear in the industry regarding what happened with Diddy at trial, and it's changing how I conduct business," he said. He now prioritizes caution, implementing a strict screening process for new clients to protect himself from those who might expose him online.

"There has to be trust between a s-- worker and their client," he explained, indicating that building that trust may become increasingly difficult in the wake of the Diddy revelations.

He shared that he has a particular client who enjoys cuckolding, though he reassured that it's less adventurous than what he experienced with Diddy. "It's more of an orgy situation with the client's wife and other women," he admitted.

S-- workers were cautioned to be vigilant after the musician's trial.

The trial heightened Hayes' profile as he took to the media circuit to promote his book, In Search of Freezer Meat. Although the publicity has led to an influx of job offers, he remains cautious. "You never know who is on the other end of the line," he said.
