Heat 'N Serve: Arpad Miklos

Is Arpad Miklos the top top of the 21st century? This 6-foot-2, 240-pound Hungarian stud has reamed ass in nearly six dozen adult flicks in his 12-year career—that’s one movie every other month. Every new bottom in the industry wants to get poked by Arpad’s 10-incher, and he’s happy to oblige. Recent pokefests include Folsom Leather (TitanMen), When Bears Attack (Channel 1/Rascal), Beefcake (Falcon), and Black-n-Blue (Hot House). In addition to his rigorous video performance schedule, Arpad—who has been based in New York City since 2003 - is routinely praised as the top escort in America: Lucky patrons extol Arpad's physical beauty as well as his intelligence and sensitivity. Let's get a taste of him right now

There’s been an explosion of porn from Eastern Europe of late. Are guys hornier in your Hungarian homeland?

People are a bit more open-minded—or perhaps more desperate for money—there. There are plenty of good-looking guys too—though my friends in Hungary always complain about the lack of them.

Perhaps being bisexual is not a taboo there?

Yeah, if pressed about their sexual orientation, Hungarian men will tell you they’re bi. There are hardly any gays there, you see. [Laughs] Being openly gay there is still not popular. On the other hand, sex and nudity is not handled in such a prudish or hypocritical way like in the U.S. You might walk by a lake and see naked people swimming or hanging out without seeing thousands of warning signs that say nudity is present here.

Have you been surprised by the rise in Eastern European porn?

I’ve been surprised that certain countries are so big in the adult industry, while others are not. For example, Hungary or the Czech Republic have been the greatest producers, while Poland—with four times more population—is quite insignificant.

How is XXX work now compared to when you started?

It’s a bit different. Back then we didn’t have any “biochemical weapons” to help maintain an erection and, with roll film, a still photo shoot was longer and riskier. Now the photographer and the model can check what they just shot and reshoot it if necessary. Then there is the blessing of Photoshop…

You were discovered by Kristen Bjorn, who’s known for shooting marathon scenes. How long did you have to keep your dick hard?

Several days—his shoots were so long. But working with him those times was a fantastic school for later, and I’m still benefiting from that.

Vinnie D’Angelo recently said that he hoped to become a “legendary” top like you.

Oh my, am I really that?

You and Vinnie dicked down Jessie Balboa together in Hot House’s Tough Stuff. Fun?

Fun, fun, and fun! Vinnie is a great guy both to work and hang out with!

You had a big role in Colt’s Buckleroos, one of gay adult’s all-time hits and a film that snagged you a GayVN and a Grabby. Were you surprised by its success?

Well, yes and no. Regarding the huge investment—financial, time, cast and crew, etc.—in it from Colt, I was not surprised. However, when you hear your name as a winner at an award show, your heart is really booming.

Do you ever get together with old scene partners for sex off-camera?

It has happened. [Laughs]

What words better describe you in your personal life: wild and kinky or mild and vanilla?

Basically mild and vanilla—sorry if I’m ruining some of my fans’ fantasies! But I can be wild and kinky in the right situation with the right partner.

Such as working over Alex Baresi and Butch Grand in Folsom Leather?

Alex is really a sweetheart, a big bear cub, and we had great chemistry. I knew Butch from Miami, so we worked like old buddies together. I must confess that I really enjoyed my scene with them.

You’ve been called “the best escort in the USA.” Care to reveal any secret tips for pleasing a man?

I don’t think there is a secret. Just very basic things: Pay attention to your client and his desires and requests—as long as you yourself feel OK with them too, of course—and make him feel comfortable with you. Be polite, don’t show boredom, don’t make him feel that you are in a rush. He pays for your time. If he wants to finish sooner, that’s his decision, but it shouldn’t be yours.

Have you ever used your stud-legend status to pick up fans?

Not really. It happened that at an event fans came to me and gave their phone numbers to me. Later, I called some of them and we hooked up, but I don’t think it means I used my name to pick them up.

So what can die-hard Arpad fans look forward to in the future?

My website, ArpadMiklos.net, has been running for a few months. I want to keep making it even hotter. Also, there’s a big movie planned with Butch Bear, which is going to be “my” movie, with me doing several scenes.

Did you ever think that you would be so successful in fuck flicks?

Frankly, never.

How do you make the perfect Hungarian goulash?

I don’t think there’s “perfect goulash.” There are as many different goulashes as households. Everybody makes it differently, so you have to taste them to enjoy the good ones and the better ones.

You're making me hungry. Then again, you always did...
