GET CARTER – The Boy-Next-Door Gets Kinky

> BY Paul Hutnick

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.

The young stud with the captivating smile and devilish twinkle in his eyes grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, near Lake Michigan. His was a typical childhood with two parents who are still happily together, three siblings (one brother and two sisters) and lots of time spent battling for supremacy on athletic playing fields.

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 Jail Break, his new film with Johnny Donovan, available this month at KinkMen.com. 

INTERVIEW  >>

How did you get your start in adult films?

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.

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?

That’s simple…early morning call times when I’m bottoming.  Ugh!

Your recently transitioned from traditional adult films to fetish films. Why?

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.

Can you share a memorable experience or anecdote from your time working in fetish films?

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 beaten, and I was a little delirious.  He didn’t like my answer (laughs).

You filmed your new KinkMen.com film, Jail Break, with Van Darkholme.

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?

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.

What misconceptions do you think people have about fetish films and the performers in them?

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 fan base for your fetish work compared to your previous work?

My audience and fan base have expanded from my work performing fetish scenes. It’s given me the confidence to be like, “Wow, OK, 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?

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?

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?

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 involve an ever outwardly expanding thought process. I don’t have one particular goal, just to live the best version of my kinky self.
