Real-Life Couple Alex Tikas, Julian Torres Get Candid With Instinct Magazine

LOS ANGELES — Real-life couple Alex Tikas and Julian Torres get candid in a new online interview with Instinct Magazine.

The men were the first to star in performer-produced content for Pride Studios; their scene was released earlier this month on MenOver30.com.

"I had literally just ended a relationship and was super-excited and determined to focus on myself and take a year to just 'date myself,'" recalled Tikas. "Then (Julian) walked in the door and I literally thought, 'Fuck, I’m totally screwed.' It came at me like bolt. It was love at first sight, at least for me."

Torres described a similar reaction. "I had broken up with my ex about 5 months before I met him. I walked in at this client’s place and I saw him and my first thought was, 'Woof, damn.' After we finished with the client, I asked him if he wanted to have dinner and he said 'yes.' After that, I invited him to come to my place and he never left. The rest is history."

Among other topics, the men reveal the ground rules they devised for navigating sex with other people, both on- and off-camera, and two relationship dealbreakers.
