Mike Paris has something of a porn dream job. He’s director, cameraman, editor and often co-star for AlmostStraight.com. The line features straight and bi guys jerking off, sucking and sometimes fucking. Mike films and interviews them, seeing how far he can get them to go. He’s very glad to lend a hand -- or mouth -- to get the cum shot he wants.

What attracted you to the porn business?

The excitement. I get bored easily. After working retail, doing the same thing day in and day out, I jumped at the chance to work for Almost Straight. Besides, I’ve always been very sexual. In porn I get to use my body for more then just folding shirts.

Is porn what you thought it would be?

I had no idea what to expect. Would it be sleazy? Would it be dangerous? You never know going into anything. I approached it with an open mind and a bit of caution. It’s turned out good.

Do you feel shooting point-of-view video, where you get onscreen with the guys, is more exciting than just being behind the camera?

It’s always different. There are times where I stay behind the camera just directing, especially if the guy is new, nervous or isn’t comfortable with being touched. Other times I man the camera myself while I jerk or suck a guy off. Sometimes I get a co-worker to film while I get busy with a model.

What can a guy expect when he comes in?

A good time. I’m always upfront about what’s going to happen and what I expect. I’m professional. I interview the guys before a shoot. We get to know each other. I ask them about what they like sexually and don’t like, what fantasies they have, what’s the wildest thing they have ever done.

Are most of the guys straight or bisexual?

Some identify as straight but talk about getting guy blow jobs. Some are upfront about having a taste for both sexes.

How do you sexually identify yourself?

Omnisexual. I like everything.

Do you have techniques to get the guys comfortable?

I think just being cool and not coming across as a slobbering pervert helps. People have misconceptions about the porn biz, like, as if I’ll be snorting coke off some guy’s hard cock.

How do you judge how far to go?

By talking to him. Once he’s comfortable, I see how far I can take things. So, if he’s OK getting a hand job, I’ll see if I can blow him. If that’s OK, I’ll see if I can play with his ass or if he’ll take a dildo.

From what I have seen, the farthest you’ve gone is suck them and eat their cum. Do you want to fuck them or have them fuck you?

That’s a little harder to do. These guys are new to porn and many are shy their first time on camera. That being said, yes, I’d love to give cock to a guy who’s never had it up his hole, especially if he’s got a nice, round butt. Hopefully I’ll get to do it on camera one day.
