Have there been a project that you wish you could had gone further but the compliance restrictions didn’t let you?

Most of my projects, in my head, start kind of out of left field and then I reel them in for compliance and general sexy reasons honestly. The real world doesn’t have those restrictions and I’m a man in 2026 haha. I start with the “real” answer and then bring it in to be something that is on brand first honestly.

When are you going to bring Jeremy back in front of the camera? Maybe a solo scene? Lol

I am so close to just starting a petition so he has no choice BUT I think he will be open to more cameos… for now lol.

Not a question but a thanks since you and Jeremy have taken more of the workload of running the site. Is like a second renaissance. So thank you.

Be vulnerable…was there a reason why you stopped modeling? We miss you greatly?

I honestly just didn’t want to continue doing it. If I’m being completely honest, the scripts I was given got stale. I was working with repeated scene partners (while I enjoy them, I know it can get boring for fans). And it just wasn’t fulfilling to me anymore. Not to say I’m ever completely done with anything ever, but for now being in front of camera just isn’t exciting for me.

Do you feel you have extra to overcome with brown skin?

Without getting too deep into it just because of the context of this conversation: yes. Just like we all do, man.

Was your transition from performer to director an easy one?

I made it one! It wasn’t a quick jump to being behind camera at all. I started doing production assist and casting work around 9-ish years ago right when I started just to start making extra money and seeing what I could do. The transition was a steady one of me cross training on doing everything.

And how do you think your past as a performer helps you in your directing?

Being a performer in the past gives me a lot of insight into what a performer is probably thinking during a scene that other directors simply don’t have. Sometimes directors get an exact position in their head and refuse to deviate… even though the human body is literally not able to do the thing they want it to do. I understand “Hey… maybe this guy’s dick and this guy’s butt aren’t meant to do piledriver together. And that’s okay.”

One of my favorites is Johnny Donovan. Is he gay? Is he a nice guy? He seems to be a really nice guy.

Johnny has been a dear friend for years now and he and his HUSBAND! Are very much part of the alphabet mafia and absolutely sweet amazing people.

Why do all the porn stars shave their pubes? What about us older guys who love a nice bush.?

A lot of it comes down to preference for some people. Even as a director, I’ll tell people to trim but not completely shave cuz I know people like some fuzz and they come in freshly shaven. I do what I can but people can and will do what they want with their bodies.


Submitted by Hairyfun

Any plans to have Texas Bull, Thomas Long, Shadow, Gymbo, Xander Larsen, or Adam Adonis in a scene here soon ?

I know most of the guys on this list! Just shot Gymbo a bunch actually and enjoy Shadow but last I talked to him he isn’t doing much studio work anymore sadly.


Submitted by Ed

I wonder why so many gay porn actors do shoot a little drip here and there, where are the old days when the cum flew against and up de ceiling? The moaning and groaning always promises a bucket load , but the final result is a poor drip here and there! WHAT A WASTE OF FILM WORK.

The human body will do what it will do, that’s for sure. I WISH more guys took like milk thistle or horny goat weed. It would be nice to have the splash zone be across the room again, I totally hear you!


Submitted by Alex

Would you like to do extreme fetish porn (BDSM, leather) for a change?

Did it for several years and am VERY kinky in real life. However, doing it professionally… IS SO FREAKIN BORING! Fetish porn on camera lost its luster after working for some fetish companies. Not to spoil much, but it is so soulless.

Would you like to shoot 20 minute porn scenes with intense action rather than 53 minute porn scenes with 50% boring content?

An easier day at work would be lovely, but I do also like to make a fun story sometimes. I just keep in mind what a vast majority of the fans of this site want and make sure I do it as well as possible with the tools I was given.

What’s the thing that stressed you out the most during a (badly going) shoot?

That will ETERNALLY be people showing up ill prepared. Whether not ready to bottom, not learning lines, coming in with drama, having funky energy: being ready to work is universal.

What’s the funniest unexpected thing to happen during a shoot?

There’s a LOT but most recently midway through a sports theme sex scene a model, unprompted, just reached over while he was getting railed out by a big dick and just grabbed a football helmet and put it on and looked back all while in character. Perfect character moment but while it was happening I had to fight back laughter.

What goes into writing a feature?

All of my features typically start with a question in my head. Then… I expand on it. Build it out, who are the characters, what’s involved, how do we get from the question to the answer that I want to give. For End of Your World: What what you do if life as you know it was coming to an end? For The Hive: What would you do to belong? I go into it with a question and then in this fantasy world I’m building, I create my story around that.


Submitted by Hal

I would like to see more quality content developed that focuses on two young men meeting for the first time as new college roommates. Take it slow. Build the characters. Use guys that do not come off as gay. At 18, hormones are raging. Privacy is an issue. But does it have to be taboo just to jerk off? Or would that be ok if no one else knows? This scenario has played out in real life thousands of times. I have not seen a film yet that was believable. Make it believable. The two men do not fuck. Because they are straight. But needs must…. What do you think?” Thanks!

I honestly REALLY like this idea. A big thing I wish I could do more of in my scenes is tension building. For this kind of scene I would have to end it with some sort of sexy time because of what the site is, BUT honestly a slow burn concept like this where the tension builds… and builds… and builds… until it has to burst is something I honestly wish I had enough hours in a shoot day to create.


Submitted by Nick

Do you want one day to maybe create not a movie but a full tv series with more than 4 part/episode with multiple season?

That seems like a crap ton of work, but I’m a workaholic so I’d be down. Honestly we have different ideas already to something similar to this where a porn star would be “that character” every time they appeared on that site and seeing that character progress through would be fun in my opinion.

I am interested in writing a script. How do I go about submitting it? Should I shop studios?

We have a Members Fantasy submission post every couple of months on our blog with a link to send them in! That’s the best place to get started. Or you can always reach out to me on social media too!

Since you have a lot of experience in gay porn (direction and performer), I have questions you probably hate. I have a fascination with gay4pay actors in porn; they seem odd and interesting at the same time. Your best answer based on your observation, what percentage of the performers in gay porn are straight, bisexual, and gay?

This number has honestly changed so much since I started. I’d say when I first started in porn a decade ago, it was honestly about 50/50 in terms of gay versus straight. Now, honestly most of the guys are some form of “non-straight” whether genuinely bisexual, gay, pan, or whatever. The ratio now is probably closer to 80/20 gay versus straight. Not many straight guys do studio level gay porn. They just show butthole on onlyfans nowadays.

Have you observed straight performers turning bisexual or even gay? Thanks

I have! I have a couple of friends (not saying anyyyyy names) that started off as “gay4pay” and as time went on the pay became much less important. A couple have fully had boyfriends and experimented personally to better find themselves. Them doing porn was a safe way for them to experiment and pay bills and I’m not at all mad at that.

What has been the funnest scene to direct?

The scene is coming out soon, but there is one where its two frat guys doing April Fools puns and it goes completely oldschool western movie… complete with solo-cup-tumbleweed that we made ourselves. Ahahahaha.

What is the best way to get an undiscovered and less-known model in front of you?

Apply to the site and send us their social media!

One word to describe some ASG Max Exclusives: Nico Coopa, Andrew Delta, Vincent Grey, Justin Matthews, Carter Woods, Ryder Owens, Jayden Marcos, Noah Asli

Only one word? Hmmm then an all encompassing one that I use for all of them: Goobers (meant with love haha)


Submitted by Marcus

Whenever someone is submitting a ASGMAX Members Fantasies Idea how long should the concept be i wish to know for next year

For the writing team, it is easiest if you build it out some. Give us a couple of solid paragraphs so we can really nail exactly what you want. Sometimes, and no shade, people send in, “I want these two guys to fuck” and think that is a story. Which, sure, we can make that, but the Member’s Fantasies line is when you guys can really give us an idea that YOU want to see that YOU think is smoking hot and then we bring that to life for ya. Have fun with it. Get worked up and hard and tell us exactly what you wanna see and why it makes ya so hard.

When directing are you “jealous” of the receiving end, the giving one or both?

I won’t say I’m jealous because I was doing their current job back when some of these guys were in school not sure if they were gay yet haha. I will say though that there are some times in scenes where I have been like “oh well that’s a new trick let me take notes” hahaha.


Submitted by Edroy

Hey Micah, loved your series, The Hive. Any plans for a sequel?

For The Hive, maybe. If you liked that one and the tension in it though then I think you’ll like the other feature I have coming up this year called Long Lost to tide you over though 😉


Submitted by Hillbillytop

There are several models that have delicious nipples….Jayden, Ryder are two. There are several models that also play with their nipples while being fucked. Why is there not more nipple play in videos?

Honestly, some people’s nipples have an adverse reaction to being played with. Like if you play with them they go soft. When it comes time for that, I’m more worried about two things: Hard dicks and not breaking their consent. If they don’t want them played with, they aren’t going to be played with.


Submitted by RICHARD dean

In hive what causes the switch to hive member

When writing that, I thought of it as the sexual energy and connection acting as a way to infiltrate the mind. Giving yourself completely to another (or multiple) people for things like feeling wanted, connection, release of anxiety. I wanted the members of the hive to pervert that trust that people have when we have sex with effectively strangers and what could come from that.


Submitted by Jay Carter

Will you please do a scene for us? Food can be delivered while you are in the pool and you have to have him come in to get his tip or some crap like that. Anything to see you.

It would have to be a real good director doing something really interesting with a script to get me to put my jock straps back on and start performing again in the near future. But, the door is open.


Wrapping Up

Huge thanks to Micah for taking the time to answer everyone’s questions! Stay tuned to the blog for future model and crew Q&A posts!

In which scene did Jeremy make a cameo appearance?
