Unless you are an essential worker, chances are you are stuck at home right now. And if you are stuck at home, chances are you are struggling a little: either to create a new routine, to make some money, to stay in touch with the people you care about, or to make sure that you are staying productive. Porn stars, as essential as they may feel at times, are also at home and going through the same challenges that we all are.
But after talking with them, and seeing how they are coping, it became clear that they can be a source of inspiration for us! The adult performers that I reached out to are doing what they can to make sure that life goes on as normal as they can muster. So we at HotMovies decided to put together a mega two-part quarantine Performer Roundup. Enjoy, and stay safe!
Adira Allure
During this quarantine I have been pretty busy with my content creation and OnlyFans. When I’m not working on that source of income for myself, I like to go outside in my backyard with my cats, and sit in the kiddie pool that I fill up with a few inches of water and tan in. I usually end up shooting more content in there too, lol. I also have been organizing my house in different ways and rearranging a lot of my furniture… as I’m sure a lot of people have been doing.
Indiana Bones
With everything going on, I’ve been trying to stick to a routine, so I’m still waking up to an alarm bright and early in the morning to start my day with a workout. To manage my time during the days, I’ve been adding a few more workouts here and there, playing guitar, shooting some solo content, and spending a lot of quality time with my wife and cats. I hope everyone stays safe and we can all get back to business as usual as soon as possible.
Lauren Phillips
I’ve been spending my time differently each week. The first full week we were in quarantine, I focused on figuring out a good workflow for me. I also took a few days off to focus on myself. I’ve been spending some time off of social media as well—so society couldn’t bring my spirits down. I’m ready to get back to work, and for things to go back to normal… well, as normal as they could be after this type of event.
Codey Steele
I’ve been devoting most of my time to OnlyFans. I’ve been doing more redecorating in my place, making some craft projects, and started watching Breaking Bad. I honestly hate binge-watching and normally can’t do it, but since quarantine I guess whatever. Also I’m luckily quarantined with Vanna Bardot, so we have lots of sex and post it online!
Rebecca Love
I have been super busy streaming my ass off in quarantine. Business is booming virtually, and I’m enjoying the company of my fellow perverts. However, I miss “Karaoke XXX,” where I get my drink on. So, now on Saturday nights I make a fire and have a specialty drink to reset for the next week’s indoor activities.
Courtney Trouble
I’ve been busy. While many people lost their jobs, I seem to not be able to stop working. My job really lies in customer service and artist management—I take care of my clients whether they are buying my porn or having me help them finish their own films. So I’ve been busy helping people get things situated: who needs immediate help securing finances, who needs some extra content, who needs a logo, who needs general support and advice, and who has extra resources to give… stuff like that. I’ve also had some wild emergencies. I had to relocate. I sadly had to cancel two film productions. I miss Vegas and LA so much.
Furthermore, I serve a population that’s majority trans-identified and queer, so I think what I’m hoping for is to be able to keep my fans and artists as embraced as possible. TROUBLEfilms/NoFauxxx has survived a lot in 20 years, but nothing like this. I feel incredibly privileged to have what I have and hope the stability is a beacon for others right now wondering how it could all work out. Take care of each other and be forgiving and loving. And wash your hands, always. We will survive this.
Aria Khaide
Schooling my kids at home since mid-March. I’ve been spending lots of time outside with them—whether it’s hikes or hopscotch on the driveway. This real fresh air has been great! I’ve also done the “40 bags in 40 days” for Lent—where I purged my clothing, shoes, lingerie, and more! I’ve offered these things first-come to anyone in the industry for free, and then will be donating it all to those in need. I’ve also attempted my own nails, but it looks exactly like that. I’m also one glass of wine and another lockdown extension away from doing something crazy with my hair, haha! Right now I am also doing a lot of praying for those who really need it. Think about all the children who used school as an escape from an abusive family member, or an autistic person who used hiking trails as their calming time from a sensory overload. I wholeheartedly say that I am sending each and every one you love and positive vibes!
Carmen Valentina
Shooting lots of solos and updating my sites, but also I’ve been drinking melted chocolate, binge-watching Netflix, and counting down 994 levels of Candy Crush left to go.
Sara St. Clair
A hoe has become a housewife! Yours truly has been cooking every night. Due to having to cut expenses being out of work, I’ve had to resort to the peasant-y ways of scrubbing my own floors! Can you imagine my hardship? No more having my hair styled. The struggle has been intense. Luckily in this crisis I have wine. I went from being a seasoned day-drinker to having a PhD in daytime alcohol consumption. Oh! And I’m having sex 6x a day—my fiancé is drained, literally.
Linzee Ryder
Drinking, masturbating, and selling myself online!
Crystal Clark
I have been spending time in quarantine reconnecting with myself. Since returning to the industry after a four-year hiatus, it was really important to me to find exactly who I am, and who I want to be as a person and as a performer. I’ve been focusing a lot on self reflection, and playing around with solo content ideas… which is something I haven’t done much of in the past.
Previously in my time in the industry, I focused on producing and filming others. But now I want to be the focus of my own clip stores and content. I started an OnlyFans, and that has helped me so much with exploring myself solo and solo sexuality. It’s entirely new to me, to be the “star” of my own content is amazing. My passion will always be behind the camera, but I’ve found a new love in being in front of it as well.
I am a little bummed shooting has halted, as I had a lot of bookings lined up to further explore my on-camera personas. But everything happens for a reason, and I’m forever grateful for my fans who support me and have always supported me—on and off camera.
Sadie Holmes
During this quarantine I’ve obviously been making content for my OnlyFans and doing custom videos. I’ve also been taking this time to deep-clean my home, work on projects on my property, homeschool my children, and take up new hobbies like soap-making and gardening.
Jillian Janson
When it comes to my well-being it’s important to feel sexy. It keeps me sane. I realized that interacting with my fans on OnlyFans was the only way to keep my mind and body right. It makes me feel good when I dress up, take naughty photos, and make videos everyday like I would if I was on set. I love how powerful and confident it makes me feel when I’m in front of a camera. It’s great being able to record myself at home and release fans of their stresses too. If I’m not online though, then I’m watching my favorite shows on Hulu or playing GTA 5 on XBox One with my best friend.
Kenzie Taylor
Working out, masturbating, creating custom content for my OnlyFans members, and eating good food.
Sophia West
I’m trying to stay active during this break by working out, hiking, and taking my dog for walks. The weather is getting nice, so I’m lying out by my pool while I catch up with fans on my laptop. Workwise, I’ve been doing live shows on OnlyFans and Chaturbate… and also making custom videos (which is a lot of fun). Of course, I am getting off like five times a day with fans—so I’m not sex-starved. But I can’t wait for this to be over so I can get on camera and film with others for everyone to enjoy. Watch out, I’m horny and am going to need a lot of attention!
Nathan Bronson
I’m the kind of guy that needs to stay very busy. During the quarantine, I pretty much rebuilt the whole inside of my house, including building a couple walls to make a big-ass closet (and painted the whole thing). I built a bar, planted a garden, and re-did my kitchen so I can shoot more YouTube videos for my “Hanging with Nathan” series. I also learned to play the ukulele and unicycle. Like always, I’m doing martial arts (stand-up jujitsu with lots of flips). And of course, I’m making lots of videos for my OnlyFans to keep my amazing fans happy and satisfied!
Alex Coal
I’ve been staying super busy! I’m quarantined with a camera person and other performers here in Vegas, so we’ve been filming almost every day! I’m also camming live on Chaturbate, MyFreeCams, and OnlyFans as often as possible. I love being able to make people laugh and smile while there’s a worldwide issue, and I’m lucky to be able to reach people from home and improve their day. I’m using this time to catch up on work, but I’m also taking some time to reconnect with myself as a person, and just be thankful for the life that adult entertainment has given me.
Rebecca Vanguard
I’m definitely an extrovert, so I’ve been struggling to cope with the situation. But I alleviate the stress by spending more time on self-care and relaxing. When I’m not taking a hot bath or unwinding with a movie, I’ve been dedicating my time to updating my websites, logging on webcam from Manyvids, editing photos and video, and/or shooting content with my boyfriend. I’ve also started doing some art; I’m making some collages and made plans for some other pieces as well. I’m excited to see where this will take me. I have had a lot of time to do research and feel inspired, so I’ve been jotting down a lot of ideas for the future.
Karen Fisher
I’ve been trying to do as much work as possible, while social distancing. I’m really focusing on platforms like OnlyFans and SextPanther right now. Other than that, I’m doing home workouts, binging on Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube, and reading. What else is there to do?
Johnny Goodluck
I’ve been keeping very busy! I ride with a motorcycle club, which has been exciting and keeps me far away from the rest of the world. Our version of social distancing is going out to the coast and sitting on rocks by the beach far away from each other. And when we ride in a pack, we also stay the legal distance away from each other… but it keeps me in a sense of being with my family without being locked in the house. I’ve also made quite the manacle out of my garage, and gotten our home to really sparkle. And I’ve been reading a lot!
Dahlia Von Knight
I’ve been spending my quarantine doing a lot of self-care and house projects I usually never have time to do. I’m refreshing my bedroom with all-new furniture—focusing on really making it my little sanctuary—a place I enjoy being in (with us on lockdown for so long). I even rearranged my living room this morning. It feels like I’m in a brand-new house. I love that feeling.
I spend a lot of evenings gardening and getting on top of things in my yard. The goal is to make a cool hangout space, including lots of plants. By the time quarantine is over I’ll be ready to have friends over again for BBQs and drinks. I’m also taking this time to work on my ass. I’ve always wanted a juicy one. I don’t have an excuse now with all this free time. Lastly, I’ve been trying to plan for the future. I’ve been writing out scenes and pairs I want to shoot for my site.
