Muscled, bare-chested and generously tattooed, Low, who speaks in a whisper, is part of a Gen Z world of TikTok, Instagram and YouTube that communicates in memes out of sight of the establishment. His case has sparked conversations about social mores and the limitations of sexual expression in a country where sex between men is technically illegal.
Out on bail, Low is facing up to 21 months in prison. He made headlines last year after he was ordered off the platform and arrested for violating strict obscenity laws by transmitting images and videos of his “private parts.” The 22-year-old bisexual man is Singapore’s most recognizable creator on OnlyFans, the online site known best for offering private porn to paying subscribers.
Titus Low has stubbornly challenged one of this city-state’s enduring taboos: sex.
His future in question, the man, an unabashed erotic exhibitionist, has attracted renown in a country where fame is usually reserved for government ministers and top badminton players. The young man of wealth, tattoos and TikTok glamour rolled into the neighborhood in a Tiffany-blue Mercedes.
