Monstah Mike: Getting to the Top On Only Fans

With his huge muscles, hypnotic stare, thick cock, and bubbly ass, it's no wonder that Monstah Mike is becoming such a sensation. Don't let that name deceive you. There's nothing scary about this muscle teddy bear. He's the perfect combination of aggression and tenderness. He joined us for an interview to chat about his background, his career, and his ambition to top OnlyFans!

Let's start with a few basics: Name, Age, Where are you From, Occupation?

My name is Mike Russo. I'm 30 years old. I'm originally from Queens, New York, but was raised in Boca Raton, Florida. I used to be a recruiter for construction companies. I'd help companies who won big projects staff them. I'd recruit Superintendents, Project Managers, Estimators, etc. Luckily for me, I was able to quit that career. I now live a very fun life doing a variety of things mainly revolving around performing in the homoerotic realm. I do OnlyFans which is my main source of income. I also am on various websites, such as TheBestFlex (muscle porn basically), WatchFighters (homo erotic wrestling), and Manyvids, and have done a variety of studio porn shoots- ranging from foot fetish sites to the hardcore, hairy, masculine, sweaty man sex of The Guy Site, to BangBus, and some awesome wrestling companies (BG East, Muscleboy Wrestling, and Thunders Arena to name a few!) I also enjoy stripping at the clubs. I don't do that as much as I used to, because I'm so busy managing my other endeavors, but there's nothing like making a live crowd go crazy and really winning over a live crowd. I'm kinda old-school that way. I feel very fulfilled when I have positive interpersonal interactions. I appreciate the digital interactions I have, but it's not the same.

What has brought you to the world of Gay Porn?

Well, it wasn't something I intended. I had been approached by Howard Andrew with Fabscout throughout my stripping career at various clubs. That got me initially thinking about it, but I wasn't ready mentally for it. I continued stripping but was getting burnt out with all the late nights and fucked up sleep schedule. And for whatever reason, the money at the clubs isn't what it used to be. Giovanni Milani was pretty persistent about helping me start my Only Fans page. He assured me that he would help everything run smoothly, I could just focus on performing and working on my body, and he'd handle the technical side of things (which I suck at!- I'm like a grandpa with that stuff) and promotional stuff. He became my manager and gave me my start to my career which I'm very grateful for. After a few months, it started blowing up, and I was interested in a higher level of production with the studio porn. Gio then connected me with Howard. The timing was right this time. I really enjoy acting and putting together a great production. Now, I have a nice blend of OnlyFans and studio porn. I love both for different reasons. I mentioned the advanced production of studio porn and more in-depth acting. The OnlyFans I love because I love being creative with scenes and having the creative freedom to do what I want. I have very interesting ideas when it comes to making scenes and am willing to do just about anything to make the film a success!

How have those different experiences been thus far? 

I've had a lot of great experiences! It's interesting to see how each studio does things a little differently. For example, some companies give you more freedom to do/say what comes naturally, while others are very strict about the script they have.

What have you learned? About the business? About sex? About yourself?

I've learned quite a bit since doing all this! Huge learning experience! Well first of all with my Only Fans page and other sites I mentioned earlier that I run, I've learned a lot in general about running my own business. I've never enjoyed work the way I do now. I truly love what I do- some might say I'm obsessed with it! And running my own business and feeling in control of my destiny is a wonderful and empowering thing! It definitely takes balls to do your own thing and succeed. I invest A LOT back into the business- I pay my manager well, and I am constantly upgrading our technology, whether it be a new phone or laptop, equipment to make filming better or buying software to help things run smoother.  I also invest a lot of time and money in my body to keep it top-notch, with different sexy clothes, underwear, costumes, etc. I also spend a lot of money on travel for me and my manager.

About sex, I've really learned to be more comfortable in my own skin. You realize that everyone is different when it comes to sex. I've realized there's no reason to be shy or weird about anything sex-related.  We all like sex! We all have different kinks or preferences that really get us off!  Doing porn has made me so much more open-minded towards sex. NOTHING seems weird to me at this point, whereas before porn I was very vanilla. I've been introduced to some really interesting kinks that I now use to spice up my own sex life!

About myself, I've learned that I love finding out what makes people tick! I love bringing out the best in my scene partners!

What scenes and acts have you yet to do on film that you still would like to try? With who?

I would like to have two sexy twinks/twunks in the jacuzzi with me and really take my time with them. I'd want them to worship my muscles and body and work as a team to worship and please me. I don't know with whom yet, but that's a scene I have in mind.

What are some of your ambitions? Both in the porn industry and beyond?

Well, I'd like to get to the very top of what I do! I'm currently in the top 1.6% of all OnlyFans creators.  I'd like to get sub 0.5%. It's only a 1% difference but I know it will take a huge sacrifice to do it. I know there's more I could be doing, and I could make better decisions about certain things.. to achieve this, I'll need to work harder than ever on my body, ass, and flexibility, and make more of a commitment to traveling more often and filming with other guys who are where I want to be. I'll also need to eliminate some personal nonsense from my life to free up more time and energy for this.

I'm not sure what's in store for me after this. I've gotten into some light investing. Maybe I'll get deeper into that. Maybe I'll create my own porn studio, featuring very muscular models. I see a lot of Bodybuilders flexing and wrestling, but not a lot go all the way to fucking! Would like to see more muscle men really fucking hardcore in addition to the flexing and wrestling! I'd consider opening a strip club also. I'll let the universe guide me! I'm not gonna try to force anything!

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

Monstah Mike outside of porn is a deep person with a big heart and a giver. Everything I do, I go all the way. If I don't put my all into something, I feel tremendous dissatisfaction and it eats at me. I put all my energy and passion into the things that I do. I love the art of bodybuilding. I competed for a couple of years and may do so again in the future. But I really just love the lifestyle of being regimented eating healthy and looking and feeling a certain way. I treat my body really well. Go for massages a couple of times a month. I love good music, such as Pink Floyd and Madonna, Ace of Base, etc. I take dance classes every week with varying styles, I'm a huge fan of stand-up comedy! I'm a man's man, I really enjoy my time with the guys and the camaraderie. When we organize wrestling events where we rent out a ring and invite guys to come down and film it's always a blast!

What is your favorite thing about sex?

Connecting with someone on a deep level. Getting their head going

What makes a true "Porn Star"?

A true porn star is well-rounded.  He comes prepared. He handles everything that is within his control: appearance, hair, makeup, body hair, physical fitness, etc. He has a few tricks up his sleeve in case he needs them. He is super focused on his scene partner, while also considering the cameraman's point of view and what the shot will look like. A true porn star is easy to work with and makes everyone around him better. It is a breath of fresh air to work with a "true porn star" because you trust that they'll make you look good. They have the quality of the scene first and foremost in their mind, not their own sexual desires.  They help display the strengths of their scene partners and hide their weaknesses. They're good at dealing with people and reducing the stress on set. They're good at making adjustments on the fly because nothing goes as planned and the show must go on!

Are you one? 

I am one!
