Summary
Amid a pandemic that’s touched every aspect of our lives—from the emotional to the financial—what has COVID-19 done to our sexual appetites? In this episode, Alex Wagner talks to three professionals with particular insight into the country’s deepest and (mostly) unspoken desires. First, we hear from Alison Boden, CEO of the porn site kink.com about how the nationwide lockdown has affected an industry not known for social distancing. Then, we're joined by J. Leigh, a BDSM dominatrix, forced to move out of the dungeon (literally) and on to the internet. And finally, we speak with Lotus Lain, an industry relations advocate and adult film actress who explains the ways in which porn actors have been better prepared for a global pandemic... than basically everyone else.

| 0:00.0 | I think that if there was ever a good time for this sort of thing to happen, or at least a less terrible time, it's now. |
| 0:06.7 | This is Alison Bowden, CEO of the porn website kink.com. |
| 0:13.1 | Because a lot of performers have already kind of made the move to these fan sites, like only fans, many vids, things like |
| 0:25.2 | that. So they're pretty used to kind of making their own content, kind of managing a fan base |
| 0:31.7 | individually. So they were kind of prepared. They had something ready. So what we've actually |
| 0:37.3 | done is ask performers to shoot from home for us, which is what's happening in a lot of the big studios right now. |
| 0:45.3 | How does that work, though? Like, I mean, it sounds like the guidelines are shoot only at home and only with partners who live at home with you. |
| 1:00.7 | I mean, how common is it that you have basically the cast of what would be a porn film living at home with you? |
| 1:03.2 | It's not tremendously common. |
| 1:05.7 | But I think in the porn industry, especially when you're talking about couples, |
| 1:09.8 | I think it's a lot more common for people to date |
| 1:12.8 | within the industry just because it's so hard to find a civilian who's sort of okay with your |
| 1:17.2 | lifestyle. And a lot of companies are okay with people doing solo content by themselves. |
| 1:24.2 | There's no question that it's much, much harder to shoot at home. |
| 1:30.2 | I mean, we're already talking to performers who are saying, like, I'm actually just really tired of, actually just getting tired of screwing themselves. |
| 1:38.5 | Like, it's really, it's hard, it's hard work to do. And they're getting a decent amount of work. |
| 1:46.6 | Huh. People getting tired of screwing themselves. I mean, that's probably a universal feeling |
| 1:54.7 | across the country in some respects. |
| 2:03.0 | Hi. Welcome to six feet apart. |
| 2:05.5 | I'm Alex Wagner. |
| 2:07.1 | The COVID-19 pandemic is messing with our minds and our wallets and our souls. |
