THERE’S A NEW MOTHER IN CHARGE SHOW DIRECTOR AND HOST
Myah Ross Monroe
Christian Wilde, the popular adult film star, is stepping behind the camera in 2024, and making his directorial debut with new films on Kinkmen.com. As a performer, Wilde has captivated audiences with his magnetic presence and willingness to embrace unconventional narratives. He’s known for pushing boundaries by bravely exploring diverse facets of his sexuality with any and all genders. As he steps into the director’s chair, Christian Wilde says his aim is to infuse his unique perspective of sensuality into every frame and maybe even redefine the adult film landscape. His collaboration with KinkMen.com is anticipated to yield a series of films that not only cater to the site’s loyal audience but also attract new viewers seeking a fresh and nuanced approach to adult entertainment.

Christian Wilde Makes His Directorial Debut on KinkMen.com By Steven Boyce
How would you describe the Christian Wilde brand? Christian Wilde is the all-around daddy who will take care of all your needs! From mild to Wilde, I have the range to fill all sorts of fantasies. Have you always been Wilde? Growing up, were you a rulebreaker? Definitely. I enjoy the rush of a little trouble. I’ve always liked testing the limits of rules. You seem to authentically enjoy having sex on film. A vast majority of the time, yes, I do. There are times, however, when work is really work and that’s when I have to rely on being a talented performer. Do you prefer the content you make to be fantasy-based or more reality-driven? It depends on the chemistry between me and the model I am working with. There are definitely fun aspects of both. How kinky can you get on set?
Have you seen my work? My BDSM The raw connection. I started learning activities with KinkMen.com have led to about kink in 2009 and it has 100% shaped some pretty intense scenes. I’ve filmed in the person I am now. I love the deep public and engaged in some very hectic connection I feel with someone after seeing group scenes. It would be hard to pick the them go through the experience. wildest scene I have made. Do you connect with fans online? Have you ever turned down doing a All the time!

But my favorite is when people heard have a less than stellar reputation. I ask if they can come be my personal slave know not everyone has the ability to, but I try forever! Awfully tempting. to only work for companies that I trust and that my colleagues say good things about. Are any of the Christian Wilde-directed films available yet? Yes! A few of my Bound Gods are already What are the hard parts of porn? out and available to be watched! My scene The impact it has on the body. Also, the with Colt Spence and Ethan Sinn where stigma from the civilian population, and Colt plays a new hire and Ethan is the the multiple layers of work it takes to be a asshole boss is pretty incredible. Both guys successful person in the industry. really killed it. What are the aspects of adult film that Who would you most like to direct in a you like best? film? A good deal of the time on set is often casual Hard to say. I really just want to direct and relaxed. Similar to how I imagine it to models who are passionate about what be in an office setting, coworkers become they’re making and who want to do a really friends. I just happen to also bang my great job creating something wonderful. coworkers. What’s your advice to young adult Do you like getting Wilde with coworkers talent who hope to have the career off-set? longevity that you have enjoyed? Nowadays, I don’t get as crazy. I simply Be professional! Take this as a job and enjoy having friends over to my house for be good at the basics. Also, stay true to backyard fires and hang outs. Anytime yourself and don’t do anything you are friends come from out of town or there’s not comfortable with simply for clicks or locals that want to do something, I always followers. love to host. What would you be doing if you weren’t Has being in front of the camera helped Christian Wilde? you in your new role as director? Probably living in the woods somewhere, Immeasurably! I know what to ask for from running around naked in nature and being models when looking for the best shot and a weird little mountain man. more importantly, I know how to ask for it. I understand what is likely going through their head while filming because I’ve been in their position. You could have chosen to direct for any studio. Why did you choose to collaborate with KinkMen.com and their Bound Gods channel? It’s the most unique experience in adult film. In real life, we never actually get to play out these scenarios. The activities we do in these films would land someone in jail for assault! On the KinkMen.com set, we get to explore the mind as well as the body and push limits and boundaries in a very specific and serious way. What is it about kink films that get you excited?

In case no one has told you lately: you’re a great cat mom. You never wake up and violently want a bagel
What I want for dinner does not exist My back hurts. Must be from carrying all this great taste around. Feeling seen at the bar because you slept with all of them. That�s it! I'm never getting my hopes up for a new year ever again.
