Rafael Carreras

Spanish heartthrob Rafael Carreras smacks us on our asses!

 

I’m threading my way through a busy restaurant in West Hollywood and make eye contact with Rafael Carreras. He smiles and nods. Just then, a patron grabs me by the arm and leans in close. “Who’s that guy?†he whispers breathlessly. When I tell him, he cocks an eyebrow and turns to his companion. “After breakfast, we’re going across the street,†he says, referring to Circus of Books, a magazine store with an adult video section.

Carreras appears on the box covers of both of his XXX films (last spring’s Meltdown and the recent Barcelona Bound) and he definitely turns heads. Without a doubt, he photographs beautifully. But in person, something is subtly different. His sultry good looks and erotic aura get the heart pitter-pattering a bit faster than usual.

Carreras is fully aware of the effect he has on other people and is sanguine about it. Throughout our interview he was unfailingly polite--if a bit subdued--but I suspected he was holding back. Indeed, the shy guy’s playful side bubbled to the surface during our cover shoot, when he jokingly sparred with the stylist and makeup artist as they made him resemble a boxer. “I like this,†he said, unleashing a megawatt grin. “It’s acting. It’s like playing dress up.

“I’ve always thought about being in porn films,†reveals the 30-year-old Madrid resident. “I am a fan.†Although he has a good job in his hometown (he declines to reveal specifics, only that it is lucrative and “an important positionâ€), Carreras made the decision to pursue this particular dream early in 2000. “I sent pictures to all the companies: Bel Ami, Kristen Bjorn, Titan, Marcostudio.†He shrugs when I ask him how they responded. “They were interested,†he says with genuine modesty. His interpreter laughs, then adds, “Believe me, they were all very interested.â€

Studio 2000, Carreras explains, offered him the best deal and was able to move quickly. “And now I am here,†he chuckles, expansively sweeping his arm across the patio.

His first week in the states was packed with interviews, photo shoots, and a session with novelty company Doc Johnson. At the latter, his formidable penis was cast for his very own dildo (which will be released in the spring). When I ask how it will feel to have his own dildo on the market, Carreras grins and shakes his head in befuddled wonderment.

Judging from the number of people in the restaurant conspicuously jostling to get his attention, what does Carreras think about his burgeoning popularity? “I’m not really interested in [being] famous,†he says after a moment of contemplation. “No, I’m not. But if it happens, then no problem.†I ask Carreras about being a sex symbol and he frowns at me in confusion, so the translator interprets. His face lights up. “Oh! It’s great!†Through the interpreter, Carreras explains how much he likes the idea of men getting themselves off to his image on-screen. “I get excited by that,†he reveals. “I get excited knowing that people all over the world are watching me.â€

Even his family has come around to this new line of work. At first they reacted badly. “In the beginning, it was very hard for them to accept it. ‘Why do you have to do this?’ my mother kept saying. But now, they are finally convinced. This is what I want to do.†Besides, he says, Madrid’s gay population is rapidly growing up. “They now have gay communities, gay restaurants, gay clubs. More than here--much more. The gay people now are in fashion. What’s the word?†He and the interpreter talk for a moment. “Chic. Homosexuality is now chic. [Everyone] now wants to be gay,†he laughs, “or to have a gay friend.†And, he adds, pornography is readily available. As in the U.S., adult films are no longer quite so taboo. Conveniently, the tape in my recorder runs out just as Carreras finishes a sentence. As a final thought, I ask him if he has any specific plans for what he wants to accomplish in the industry. “I’m open to anything,†he says with a smile. “That’s why I’m here. I’m just a person who enjoys sex.â€
