Adult content creator Levi Coralynn has captured significant attention on TikTok, amassing over four million followers across platforms, largely through her engaging videos with her stay-at-home boyfriend, William Conrad. William, often seen in preppy or minimalist attire and with a soft-spoken demeanour, prepares elaborate meals for Levi, who takes on a more dominant role, proudly presenting William’s foods in dramatic attire as she playfully orders him around in a psychosexual foreplay-esque-manner.
Meals, with their elaborate culinary preparations and social conventions, are full of cultural and social transmission, and in this sense, the obsession with this foodie couple is not random. Perhaps reflective of our own obsession with devouring, fullness, sensuality, control and power, the Levi and William phenomena is deeply charged. By subverting gender norms and power dynamics within the framework of a mutually reciprocal love, the couple challenges conventional narratives inviting us to reconsider outdated assumptions on gender roles, love and partnership.
I speak exclusively to Levi on being a woman on the internet, gender roles, food, and the enduring simplicity of the expression of culinary care. In our conversation, she opens up about navigating online visibility, defying societal expectations and how something as simple as sharing a meal can become a powerful expression of love and mutual respect.
You and William actively play with and redefine cultural gender roles and norms in your public persona–in previous interviews, William has referred to himself as “Levi’s boyfriend”, meanwhile, articles on the new era of “provider [or bread-winning] women” inspired by your dynamic, circulate. What impact do you hope it has on how people view relationships and gender expectations?
We believe that relationships should be built on mutual support, respect, and individuality, and not on rigid roles. If me and William’s dynamic inspires others to question, or even reject old expectations, then we’re doing something right.
How do you define love?
Love is when you feel the most yourself—free, understood, and supported. It’s about being seen for who you truly are and embracing that with someone else.
The branding of Levi Coralynn seems to challenge conventions around femininity and sexuality. How do you navigate the complexities of these themes in your work, and what reactions have you encountered?
I don’t fit into a single version of womanhood—sometimes I’m bold, sometimes soft. Reactions to my content and persona are mixed, as they are with most things online, and though I don’t read through my comments online, my followers have been nothing but kind to me. I don’t think people would follow me if they didn’t like the relationship I portrayed.
As you’ve shifted from more adult aesthetic-erotica content to videos of William cooking for you, you have noted a change in audience. How do you navigate the increasing parasocial relationships between creators and followers, where an audience believes they are ‘owed’ specific content?
I stay true to myself and remind my audience that I’m not here to meet anyone’s expectations but my own. I think it’s important for creators to set boundaries and recognise that, while the connection with followers is special, it doesn’t mean we owe them any particular version of ourselves.
The internet can both amplify and distort real-life identities. How do you differentiate between Levi Coralynn the public figure, and Levi the private individual?
They are quite similar. I'm quieter in real life than viewers might expect.
There’s often criticism directed at women who create adult content, but not as much toward male creators. How do you view this double standard, and what’s your personal stance on it?
Women have the right to create, express, and profit from their sexuality without being villainised. My stance is simple: everyone should be able to participate in this space without facing gendered criticism.
In Freudian theory, food and oral pleasure are deeply intertwined, where eating can symbolically substitute sexual satisfaction, and food can become a conduit for expressing deeper desires. In your content, the two converge. What do you think about this relationship, and why does this create such a visceral reaction from your audience?
When William cooks for me, it’s not just about the food—it’s an expression of care. I spend very little time in my comments and I generally only see the positive ones, I quite honestly think little of most reactions. I’m just eating food that my partner prepared for me.
Is there a favourite dish William makes you?
I love the simplicity of a good breakfast. A good way to identify a good cook is to see how they cook their eggs. I'm picky with mine, and have been since I was a child, so to have a partner who consistently makes me a great egg is a dream.
You’ve talked about how important setting boundaries is for creators. How do you unwind and recharge after being online, especially when it’s such a big part of your career?
We believe in daily walks, it’s a simple but effective ritual. Either in the morning or in the evening, or both, a little walk can heal you!
You’ve shared glimpses of your life with William, from home-cooked meals to your everyday routines. What’s a perfect day off look like for the two of you when you’re not working or filming content?
If we aren't working on content, we are working on our house. She’s in the process of being renovated and as of lately consumes most of time off. We are excited to finish all of our house projects, specifically the kitchen renovation. When that’s done, it will be a wonderful day! Working on home renovations isn’t perhaps what most would call a perfect ‘day off’ but we both enjoy the labour of taking care of and creating a home.
