'Slag Wars: The Next Destroyer' Offers Authentic Queer Take on Reality Competition

In 2018, the Cock Destroyers were born. That was when British adult film performers Rebecca More and Sophie Anderson posted a raunchy video to promote a gangbang they were about to partake in, "Do you know what we are? We're fucking cock destroyers, aren't we babe?" Rebecca purred, with Sophie adding: "Cock fucking destroyers." reported the Daily Beast.

More and Anderson trended and became "queer icons and social media sensations," adds the DB. "Fast forward two years and the pair have graduated from going viral on Twitter to creating their own reality show, one so inclusive and refreshingly diverse that it could be used as a blueprint for all reality shows (minus the bondage and dirty talk)."

Their series "Slag Wars: The Next Destroyer" is a reality show that tries to find the next international queer sex symbol and Cock Destroyer from a group of seven contestants (quarantined in the British countryside). They participate in a series of "raunchy and ridiculous" tasks. "Think RuPaul's Drag Race, but with added kink, less clothes, and even more silicone," describes the DB. Even the use of the term "slag" appropriates a nasty British term to describe a promiscuous woman that More and Anderson redefine as an out and proud sex warrior.

On the show More and Anderson are joined by hunky adult performer and entrepreneur Matthew Camp. The show marks the first reality series produced by the adult web site Men.com.

"This is an exciting development for our brand," Men.com's marketing rep James Greenwood told the NSFW website The Sword. "It's been a rough year for so many of us, and we wanted to bring some fun and joy to the world. 'Slag Wars' is also a platform for our community to have meaningful conversations about sex positivity, diversity, and queerness, which has never been more important. We know it's going to resonate with people from all walks of life."

Episodes are found on the show's website.

In its inclusivity, "Slag Wars" picks up where last season of MTV's "Are You the One?" took off, and makes mainstream shows like "The Bachelor" appear to relics from the Reagan Era. The recent "AYTO" featured a cast of fluid contestants searching for love. "It was rightfully well-received, not just because the contestants were hot and fun, but because they were emotionally and sexually mature, allowing for more nuanced story lines than the macho posturing of the show's straight version," wrote Vulture.

But, adds Vulture: "Having started out as a hetero dating show, 'Are You the One?' had to announce its queerness, whereas 'Slag Wars' shows rather than tells." Or as the website i-D puts it: "'Slag Wars' is more than just fun reality TV trash. It's also one of the most genuine representations of sex workers and queer, trans and non-binary people ever seen on TV."

This season's contestants run the gamut of adult content participators, as well as one contestant – Scottish retail worker Kevin Scott – with no experience in the industry. After being put on the spot by another cast member, he's told in the show's first episode that professional experience is not necessary to be a "cock destroyer."He is joined by OnlyFans favorites Levi Jed Murphy and Cameron Smith (a couple who are competing with each other); buff and tatted Gustavo Ernesto Escobedo came from Mexico to compete; Londoner Cain has the most experience, having worked in studio porn since he was 18; Nicky Monet is a transgender woman who has worked for Rebecca and co-host Matthew Camp's fashion line Daddy Couture; and Tyreece Nye is black and non-binary. "When any of the cast members are shown on screen, their pronouns, whether he/him, she/her or they/them, are also shown," notes the Daily Beast.

"Isn't that great?" Sophie tells The Daily Beast. "For me, there hasn't been any other show that has shown the trans community, the non-binary community, like 'Slag Wars.' The show is a real ambassador for other shows to take on this. All shows have a responsibility."

"We can be the OnlyFans of new shows," Rebecca adds. "We need to get more sex workers, more queer people, let's do this."
