Fleshbot's Tour of Europe continues by visiting with French sensation Mika Ayden. In just over a year, this blonde, blue-eyed, Parisian muscle piggy has been taking the European Porn Industry by storm already winning the European Grabby Award for Best Versatile Performer. In his first online interview, Mika shares how he bravely left his more traditional life in France to explore this exciting new career in adult entertainment and how eager he is to do even more.

Let's start with a few basics: Age? Hometown? Occupation?

I am 34. I am originally from France and now live between Barcelona and Lille. I am a full-time porn actor and had the honor of winning the European Grabby Award for Best Versatile of 2024.

Relationship status?

I'm single! My heart is up for grabs! Haha! It's not so easy to find love when you do porn...

How did you create your stage name?

I can answer this question very precisely! When I was only a content creator on Twitter and OnlyFans, I had the pseudonym TATTOOEDPEACH. I had never done professional porn. The French studio WrestlingMale contacted me on Twitter and asked me if I would like to participate in a sex show for the opening party of the Grabby Awards at the Aqua Emporio. I took my courage in both hands and accepted! (Thanks to Etienne for seeing my potential and for believing in me!) So, I am on stage, my heart is beating, my legs are trembling, and I'm accompanied by my incredible partners Viktor Rom, Justin Jett, and John Rodriguez who all took me under their wing. Then, the show starts and I transform into another person! It was at this precise moment that I found my name: MIKA AYDEN

Mika, because my real first name is Mickael, and Ayden because it is one of the 20 most given first names in France in 2023. It also refers to the Garden of Eden and in this first live professional scene, I was playing an angel having his wings torn off. It was just perfect!

What brought you to the world of Gay Porn?

After that first show, I met Rusty from Lucas Entertainment and Marc Celtic from Gaysight and they both helped me get more studio work. I filmed my first professional scene in May 2023 for WrestlingMale and it was a great experience. I wanted to do more scenes for more studios. On a whim in October of 2023, I took a bag and filled it with a few things, and left to settle in Barcelona. I informed my few contacts that I was moving there and from there everything happened very quickly! Two days after my arrival I shot a new scene for WrestlingMale, a few days later for Gaysight, Virtual Gay, and at the beginning of November, I recorded for Lucas Entertainment and Kristen Bjorn. This allowed me to increase my visibility and allow other productions to trust me. I thank all these productions enormously for giving me my chance. I owe them a lot!

What did you do before then? Why did it make you want to leave for Porn?

Before porn, I had obtained a Masters in Law. I worked for 10 years for a large international group as a leisure manager in France. Unfortunately, I burned out, and then the pandemic happened. I opened an Instagram and it worked well. I also wanted to create sexier content, so I opened up to my Only Fans. I started by posting some sexy photos and realized that I could make money doing it so I dared to post nude photos. Little by little I started with porn photos, then solos, then with another partner, I created a Twitter for more visibility... And the rest you already know!

What have you learned over your first year of sex work?

I learned a lot about myself. I gained self-confidence. I discovered that my complexities could be a strength. My curved penis, my big nose. Today, these are my special characteristics and I would not change them for the world!

Could you share with us some things about your early life in France?

I had a very ordinary life: “metro, work, sports, sleep”. I felt more and more that I no longer agreed with the rules that society imposes on us. It was difficult for me to fit into the mold. I had to find a new meaning in my life! Dare to do what I love! But it's hard to put everything aside. I knew what I was going to lose, but not what I was going to gain! And then one morning I woke up and like magic, my worries were gone!

I like to say “Dare your life, because only you will live it” (it sounds better in French haha)

What is the gay culture like there?

In Lille, the population is very gay friendly. Although it is a large city, there are very few specifically gay establishments. When I was younger, there were a lot more gay clubs. For the rest of France, I don't know. I'm more the type to party at my friends' house and in a smaller group.

You have done a lot of work in only a year. How were you able to do so much right away?

At first, I thought I was very lucky. Now I say it's because I worked hard. My professional background and my experience allowed me to be certain that I wanted to do this job. So I had to give myself the means to succeed. It obviously required a lot of effort and sacrifice. I left my country, my family, and my friends to settle in Barcelona. Where there was work for me. I also had to be ready before opportunities presented themselves. So I practiced a lot with my personal videos. I contacted the productions, and I insisted on meeting them and winning them over. 100% of the winners tried their luck!

I had the privilege of meeting some very generous people who believed in me. I was actually surprised to discover a new family in porn. I now try to give a push when I can. I am convinced that alone we move faster, but together we move further!

To be able to be operational every day, it requires me to have an impeccable lifestyle. I do sports daily, eat healthy, and sleep well to always be 100%! No parties, no alcohol, and especially no drugs! I think that being a good porn actor is a bit like being a top athlete! A professional shoot can be very physically intense because you have to hold a position for example, and a shoot can last several hours. I also need to mentally prepare myself before each scene.

How does the studio world compare (in both good ways and not so good) to the Only Fans and content creator sites?

I don't think it's comparable because I think the public's expectations are different. When someone watches a video made by a studio, they are looking for quality and effort in the production, an aesthetic, or a scenario corresponding to a fantasy. On OnlyFans the public is looking for more amateur and realistic content. Honestly, OnlyFans is more directly profitable and much quicker to make, but I prefer to record for studio productions. I like challenges, thoughtful projects, and there's no denying that directors have an eye that adds magic to the porn!

That’s why I opened my own website (www.mika-ayden.com) So I can produce more elaborate personal content and publish it in the appropriate place.

What are some things you would still like to accomplish in your new porn career?

There are still a few studios for which I dream of working, particularly American studios. I am already in contact with some, and I hope to surprise you soon with some nice surprises!

I also like going behind the camera, preparing a scene, the story, and the environment. Every three months I rent a villa with my French friends to record a reality sex show called "French Friends”. For a week, we lock ourselves away and record!

I also have a personal ambition: After having acquired enough notoriety, I would like to return to France and be able to express myself in the French media about my vision and my experience as a porn actor. Whenever a show talks about porn in France, it's always in very bad terms: "Drugs, Violence, rape, prostitution...". I would like to share my experience and affirm that I do not share this vision! In porn, people always ask my opinion, always ensure everyone's concentration and limits, they take care of our rest times, and ensure our well-being during a shoot. Having worked in a corporate company, I haven't been asked anything like this before. In my opinion, some companies should take inspiration from porn methods to manage their employees!

Tell us a little bit about yourself outside of porn. Interests? Hobbies? Beliefs? Passions?

My passion is my job!

Obviously sports, it is necessary for my mental balance! Acting, I have been taking lessons since my childhood. And I have more zany interests. I like playing with decks of cards with my friends, I'm learning hypnosis, I do pottery, and I like watching guys on YouTube eating food from Disneyland while I'm doing my abs!

I also have a fascination with time, the infinitely large and the infinitely small. This is actually the theme of all my tattoos!

I believe a lot in Karma and Destiny. I am convinced that things do not happen by chance and that good luck or bad luck does not exist. We must listen to the signs that the universe sends us.

Should I consult a doctor? LOL!

Who is the real Mika?

I think I'm a very classic and simple person in my personal life. The thing that gives me the most happiness in life is getting up at dawn and enjoying a sunrise with my coffee.

My latest personality test (I'm not talking about an internet test but a real test) says that I am 30% creative, 25% focused on my goals, 25% rigorous, 20% empathetic

You have shared that you are very eager to break into the USA porn world. What especially about it appeals to you?

There are studios whose work I particularly appreciate with very ambitious projects that correspond perfectly to what I like to do. I really want to discover American working methods. I am also considering moving to the United States for a few months. In addition, according to my statistics, 50% of my audience is American!

I too want to live “my American dream.”

How do you define a true "Porn Star"?

Authentic, passionate, sincere, invested, able to adapt, and close to our audience, to whom we owe a lot.

Do you want to be one? How do you plan to achieve that?

Of course! I redouble my effort and give all my energy when I record a scene. I welcome advice to help progress. I have a lot of ambition! I read a lot of feedback from fans and the public. I am very close to my audience because they are the ones who give me a lot of love and energy to give the best of me! I’m taking this opportunity to send a personal message, I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
