So, who is Bastian Karim?

I was born on March 31, 1996, in Pereira, Colombia. I come from a humble family, I had the typical childhood of a Colombian child, surrounded by many women, and exceptional parents who instilled many values in me, I was an outstanding student always with good grades during my adolescence, I practiced judo which led me to travel all over Colombia competing and at the same time it gave me a lot of discipline to carry out any activity, I participated in theater and musicals.

How long have you been in the adult entertainment business?

I started my career as a porn actor in May 2017 in Prague, Czech Republic, and made my debut for the production company Boyfun.

What have you done thus far? How have those experiences been?

They have been wonderful years, full of a lot of learning, doing porn is a process that has transformed my life, it has taught me to meet wonderful people and above all to know myself, fill me with confidence and self-esteem and be brave enough to dedicate myself to this with great pride and passion.

What first brought you to this business?

Since my adolescence I felt a great fascination with this industry, I wondered how everything worked behind the scenes, it was a world that caused me too much curiosity and I wanted to discover it. Normally I am a very shy boy but deep down I knew that porn would give me freedom, and it did.

Could you share with us your recent connection with Carnal Media? What does being an exclusive for them entail?

My connection with Carnal Media has been a very enriching experience professionally.

My first contact was with Legrand Wolf at the Grabbys Awards 2022 in Torremolinos, that was the first time I saw him and I must admit that I was very excited to meet him, apart from being an icon in the industry, he is a true gentleman. In February 2023 I participated in my first production for Carnal Media in Lisbon, sharing a set with Legrand Wolf and Apolo Adri. After meeting at other porn events such as Xbiz 2023 in Amsterdam, they offered me an exclusivity contract, which made me very happy and I feel that it came at a personal time when I needed it to concentrate on my work. More than an exclusivity contract as a model, it is a great opportunity for me to learn new things, contribute my creative ideas in the production, lead, make decisions, and above all, be part of an incredible team that always acts professionally and with a lot of respect for all its members, and now I feel proudly part of that team.

Tell us about your prior relationship with pornography. What appealed to you? Do any particular performers or scenes inspire or influence you?

When I was a teenager and began to discover my sexuality, I began to feel attracted to pornography, not only the sexual act, but also everything behind the scenes, the production, and the recording set, I increasingly felt more curious, although I have always been a shy and introverted boy, I felt strongly attracted to this industry and eager to discover what was in it, I had never done anything like it, even with my adolescent insecurities and my shyness in front of others. the cameras, I knew that pornography gave me a spark that I couldn't find in anything else, I asked myself many things like: what would it feel like to be a porn actor? What does it take to be one? How can I get it? I didn't know anything, I just knew that I wanted to do it.

To mention some actors that I admire, here are some of them: Paddy Obrian, Topher Dimaggio, and Arad Winwin.

What are some of your big goals moving forward in this industry?

I want to enjoy my time as an actor, establish myself as an icon in the industry and acquire the necessary knowledge to become an outstanding director and always give my best. I plan to be in this industry for several more years, I have a lot of admiration and respect for all the people who are part of it and I want to be part of that group of people who contribute something positive and significant to the following generations that venture into pornography, and above all as a great satisfaction and personal achievement.

What is your relationship status?

I am happily single but always willing and open to giving a lot of love to the people around me

Who is Bastian outside of making porn? Hobbies? Interests? Beliefs?

I'm a very calm boy, I don't need much to have fun. When I'm not working I like to spend time with my friends, be at home, sleep a lot, and eat, I love spending time with my family, watching movies, and listening to music. I am creating in my head all the time, and I have many pencils and colors to put them on paper. I like graphic and audiovisual art. I like running and swimming, I like fashion, makeup, and cinema, reading self-help books, and meditating. I don't do it all on the same day, but these activities are part of what I do frequently.

I also firmly believe in the strength of love, and that in everything you do with passion and dedication, at some point, you will see all the fruits of that effort and above all, great personal satisfaction and that is priceless when you do what you love and do it from your heart.

What does it take to create great sex on film?

This is a good question, it is not as easy as it seems, it is not just having a handsome and sexy partner, of course, that helps, but it will not always be like that, there is not always the same chemistry between the actors, but if you are a professional, you know that you must transmit the same passion in the scene, when the scene seems a little complicated it is when you must show that you are a good actor, give your all, there are things that are learned over the years such as handling cameras, knowing your angles. your expressions, you learn to control that over time, but genuinely enjoying sex is difficult to act on, so mainly it is enjoying what you do, applying everything I mentioned above, helping or guiding your partner a little, in the end, it is a scene between the two of us and our job, apart from enjoying it, is also to transmit that passion and pleasure through a screen so that the viewers can also enjoy it, that is the magic of porn.
