Dr. Joe Kort:                       Hello, and welcome to this week's Smart Sex, Smart Love. I'm Dr. Joe Kort, and today the title of our podcast is The Most Surprising Things About Being A Porn Star According To A Porn Star. Porn stars have it made. On the surface, having sex with beautiful people for money sounds like a no brainer, fun career, but while it can be a dream not enough people put emphasis on the job part. This week I'll be talking to actor Miles Striker, one of the most famous guys in the adult fetish and kink scene right now. Miles is not only a major awards nominee for various fetish roles he's done, including the West Coast and Las Vegas, and by the way he just won best male web cam performer in 2019. He'll tell us all about that. He's also known for his in your face verbal dominance in straight and gay humiliation and dominant scenes.

A very nice guy, but being a method actor means he actually becomes the role with very little direction needed. Whether he's role playing a cop arresting someone for speeding, putting his feet in someones face, or then shrinking them down to nothing, also known as macrophilia, which is a fascination with or a sexual fantasy involving giants. It's typically a male fantasy with the male playing the smaller part entering, being dominated, or being eaten by a larger woman or man. What's it really like being a porn star? This week's podcast is all about getting down to the nitty gritty of the porn industry and asking Miles to give the lowdown on getting down for the camera. Hi, Miles, welcome to the show.

Miles Striker:                     How are you doing?

Dr. Joe Kort:                       Good. Is that a good introduction for you?

Miles Striker:                     Yeah, yeah. That pretty much works. I have 12 websites. Really, the introduction would be forever because I do over 250 fetishes.

Dr. Joe Kort:                       I know, I saw that. We didn't know what to do, so we just did those. Maybe we could start with what got you into doing all this?

Miles Striker:                     Well, basically, I would say that when I got home from Iraq I had a lot of issues, like most vets do. Well, I found BDSM. I went to a dungeon club and I got whipped for the first time. Next thing you know, I found comfort in it. It became my new therapy. BDSM, I studied, I learned, got into it. Ten years later, I go into actually the same event that I just booked, Fetish Con. I see a whole bunch of people doing things, and I really realized that I've been doing this for ten years, I'm pretty good at it, and I kinda want to walk a red carpet. I was like, I'll just do this. Didn't think it would go anywhere, and now here I am.

Dr. Joe Kort:                       It became natural for you, a natural progression?

Miles Striker:                     Oh, yeah. Exactly. One of the beautiful things is how I got started, I never had an in. I never had a porn star girlfriend to get me in. I just was like, here I am and yeah, I'll do that, yeah, I'll do that. I used to do this thing on a radio station, was try to figure out what I wouldn't do.

Dr. Joe Kort:                       I can just see people listening and thinking to themselves, well, he came back from Iraq, he was a vet, that caused him to get into BDSM.
