Adult film star Carter Collins may look like the guy-next-door jock type, but there’s a naughty side to him that he is exploring in his latest films on KinkMen.com.
He experienced his first kiss at 14 with his “girlfriend”. He had his first gay experience three years later with his first “boyfriend”. According to Collins, if he had the chance to offer his younger self a piece of advice, it would be to embrace his kinks and to not be ashamed of them. He’s making up for lost time by exploring his wild side in Jailbreak, his new film with Johnny Donovan, available this month at KinkMen.com.
How did you get your start in adult film?
Carter Collins: My career in film was actually provoked by my partner’s mom. We were Facetiming her and she noticed a ring light in our bedroom. She said something like “I bet you guys are doing OnlyFans,” which we weren’t! But then we thought about it and were like “hmm, what if?”. It led to our first studio experience with porn star Austin Wilde.
Your real-life partner, of course, is Oliver Marks. You both seem to enjoy making films.
Carter Collins: What I enjoy most is the camaraderie and the friends I’ve made. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of nasty people in the industry, too. People who couldn’t care less about how they act or treat the talent, but there are so many kind and amazing individuals too. Many of whom have become my besties.
What do you dislike most about the industry?
Carter Collins: That’s simple… early morning call times when I’m bottoming. Ugh!
Your recently transitioned from traditional adult films to fetish films. Why?
Carter Collins: I spend a lot of time in my personal life going to dungeons and play spaces and doing really intense stuff for my own personal enjoyment so filming fetish scenes is just another day in the office for me!
Carter Collins: Honestly, the biggest challenge in making this transition is the increased level of work that goes into filming scenes like these. It can be intense when you’re trying to look and feel good on camera while being annihilated. Lucky for me, I do a lot of this stuff in my free time so it’s easier for me.
Can you share a memorable experience or anecdote from your time working in fetish films?
Carter Collins: My first-time meeting and working with Van Darkholme, the master rigger on set, was memorable for me. I’d been watching his work for a really long time and it was a full circle moment to go from watching his films to being in them. It was really cool! I remember on the second day of shooting, I was tied up tight and we were in the middle of filming some pretty intense action when Van asked me how old I thought he was. I was trying to catch my breath and gather my brain cells back after being beat and I was a little delirious. He didn’t like my answer (laughs).
You filmed your new KinkMen.com film, Jailbreak, with Van Darkholme.
Carter Collins: I did! It’s a little film I did with the very sexy Johnny Donovan. Honestly, Johnny is one of the sweetest and most interactive partners I’ve had on set. He has got to be one of the most well-mannered guys I’ve ever met. Van directed and I really enjoyed being his helper in tying and tormenting Johnny. Since Johnny is so sweet, it made it so much sexier to do bad things to him.
Is there anything you want to try in an upcoming film that you haven’t experienced yet?
Carter Collins: I would love to do something with electro… it’s one of my biggest kinks and it’s not very common. I think that my doing it on film might help open more people up to exploring the kink for themselves!
Carter Collins: There is some talk in the industry that those who do fetish films are freaks. I find that really disheartening and odd, too, especially when the someone saying negative shit about your kinks has videos on “X” of them taking a 13-inch Brazilian dick. How does that make sense?
Have you noticed any differences in the audience or fanbase for your fetish work compared to your previous work?
Carter Collins: My audience and fanbase has expanded from my work performing fetish scenes. It’s given me the confidence to be like, “wow, okay maybe I can use my kinks to really drive my image in a different way”.
What’s left to do on your life’s bucket list?
Carter Collins: Buy a house, create a really wicked sex room with a lot of bondage furniture, and try cheese from all around the world!
What famous person, living or dead, would you most like to have dinner with?
Carter Collins: Beyonce! If your answer to that question isn’t Beyonce, maybe it should be.
If anywhere on the planet were an option, where would you most like to live?
Carter Collins: I think somewhere I can see myself living on the planet most would be somewhere deep in a jungle. I was an Animal Planet and Shark Week kid growing up so I was always in nature and surrounded by creatures of all kinds, so that’s where I would want to be.
What advice would you give to someone considering entering the fetish film industry?
First, make sure it’s something you’re actually into. It helps a lot. Second, request me as your scene partner. I’ll take it easy on you. (Laughs) On a serious note, though, it’s really nice to work with someone observant, experienced and who you can talk to about the good and the bad that’s happening. I was fortunate enough to shoot my first kink scene with Johnny Ford and not only was he so sexy, he and I knew each other prior and he walked me through the experience. He comforted me in between shots because he recognized the intensity and toll of the scenarios. It’s so important to have scene partners like that!
What are your future goals?
I would say my future goals are an ever outwardly expanding thought process. I don’t have one particular goal, just to live the best version of my kinky self.
