How did you end up getting into the adult industry?
I was posting fitness photos online to Reddit and was really happy with their reception. One day I saw a post from Legrand Wolf on my feed and sent him a message that it was neat to see him on Reddit and that I’d love to shoot with him. He and his team at Carnal+ interviewed me the next day and they offered me a shoot the next weekend! Life’s been an amazing ride ever since and I’m loving every single moment!
What do you wish you would have known before starting in the adult world?
I wish I had known the importance of being active on X and social media and had been more active online leading up to launching my career. I also had no experience in marketing or establishing a brand. Luckily, Carnal has been amazing in helping me establish myself!
What has surprised you the most since getting into the industry?
My interactions with other models and creators have consistently been very affirming and positive. Without any experience at all, I had no idea what everyone in the business would be like when I got started. I have loved meeting new and amazing people who are passionate about making the hottest content for their subscribers. We’re actually just regular people with an amazing job that fuck each other all the time.
What do you think sets you apart from other models in the industry?
My fans really seem to appreciate the energy I bring to my shoots! When I top I’m very tuned in and responsive to the cues of my bottom… the better he feels the better I feel. When I bottom I’m always happiest when we do lots of different positions and love sucking cock so much. Being a Vers guy who really loves the aspects of both helps me consistently produce good content on my OnlyFans. People seem to love my hair and my big uncut thick cock too. Ha ha!
What makes the perfect scene partner?
Confidence, enthusiasm, and communication are key in making good content… being really hot is obviously important too! No one wants to watch someone just go through the motions and make the same content they’ve seen a thousand times. I love fucking when everyone is excited and getting to do just what they want! I love doing my scene partner’s favorite things and discovering what makes them feel the best while we fuck.
As a designated twunk, do you feel the pressure to stay looking young in the industry?
Looking youthful certainly helps in this industry, while at the same time, everyone is someone’s type! My diet, exercise, and high metabolism have definitely helped me be youthful. Still, I’ll embrace looking older as that inevitably happens with age, and really look forward to evolving my look and presence when I enter my verse mature era!
I could see other studios putting a ton of pressure on their talent to maintain a certain look. Carnal has such a range of content, so we can be cast in different roles when we’re older, bulk up, or slim down. I’ve never heard anyone in production or on crew say a negative word about a performer’s body during a shoot.
What was filming your first scene with Carnal like?
Filming my first scene was like a dream… it was probably the most exciting and vulnerable thing I’ve ever done. Carnal’s crew was so affirming and did a great job being open and responsive to anything I needed. They made it so easy and comfortable for me. Logan Cross and Eddie Patrick were my first scene partners, and working with two of the hottest guys alive really helped me be present and enjoy the moment! They were both so sweet and fun to work with on and off camera. The three of us fucked again later for fan content and I was thrilled they wanted to keep the fun going!
What do you love most about working with Carnal?
The chosen family vibe of Carnal is truly unique in this business from what I’ve heard from others I’ve worked with on shoots. Models always seem surprised by it when they shoot with us for the first time. Everyone wants to be a Carnal exclusive!
During my first shoot, I commented on how fun and casual the environment they had created. Everyone on the crew agreed “bad vibes kill boners.” I feel so incredibly fortunate to have been scouted by Carnal! They truly care about and value us as individuals, business owners, and unique creators who bring our own style into what we do.
What do you think sets the content created by Carnal apart from others in the industry?
Carnal has the best fantasy content in the business, and there are so many new hot ideas in the works at all times. We’re starting to shoot at our new studio they’ve been working on and have expanded our team of amazing exclusives and directors. We’re going to be churning out even hotter content at a faster pace moving forward!
Carnal assists their exclusives in immeasurable ways with marketing, content creation, and even understanding how to maximize our income in producing our own fan content. They’ve been supportive of us making fan content from the beginning while other studios currently or historically have had an oppositional orientation towards OnlyFans or JustForFans.
What does it mean the most to you to be named a Carnal Exclusive?
Being a member of this chosen family for almost a year now has been such a crazy and wonderful experience. The time has really flown by! I’ve made lifelong friends with some of the sweetest and sexiest people alive. My life’s been enriched in indescribable ways and the personal and professional growth I’ve gained as a result is truly priceless. I’ve already had countless experiences I never would have otherwise and I’m always ecstatic thinking about what comes next!
How do you balance your porn and personal life?
My family and friends I’ve had since before starting porn are so precious to me. Managing my time and keeping organized has been essential to staying on top of things and making time for everyone. It definitely helps that my boyfriend is also a model in the industry. The ceaseless support and encouragement we provide each other helps us both maintain a healthy work/life balance.
What do you think the future of gay porn looks like?
The future of gay porn is going to look like whatever you want it to! There are so many creators now that there’s a ton of content that fans can find that really satiate their wildest fantasies. It’s been wonderful seeing how sex-positive our culture has become. Most now seem to believe sex work is work and when done correctly working in this business can be very healthy and safe. I hope this trend continues into the future and more people get involved in the business because it’s the best job in the world.
What do you want most out of your porn career?
Making authentic, passionate, and fucking hot content is so important to me. I really hope that is apparent in my scenes and content! If I’m known for anything, I’d want it to be just that. Some have asked if I’m sick of sex now… if anything my libido has only increased!
What advice do you have for someone thinking about getting into the industry?
Confidence is absolutely essential to do this job. We’re putting ourselves out there in really vulnerable ways so it’s important to not need any validation from others to stay healthy and happy in this career. First and foremost maintain your physical and mental health in your personal life and while working. Take a step back if you need to and stay true to yourself or you’ll fall out of love with it. Keep a schedule, stick to it to the best of your ability, and plan breaks and vacations. Also, build up some content before launching your fan content so you’re not pressured to work 24/7 and can take time off whenever needed.
What is your message to your fans?
Thank you all so fucking much for supporting me and making this journey possible! I love hearing about your favorite content I’ve made and ideas of what you’d like to see me do. My fans have been so kind to me and I will always be so grateful to each and every one of them! I hope to keep making you all cum for a very long time!
