What the f*ck is this world coming to...
We'll tell you what it's coming to: coronavirus porn. And people are actually watching it.
A quick search for "coronavirus" on Pornhub will lead you to over 110 videos, with some naturally graphic titles which we won't mention. You can see that for yourself, I mean, if you want.
VICE spoke to a performer from one of these videos - the male half of 'Spicy x Rice' duo. He said that he thinks people are attracted to this theme of porn to face their fears in a way. He said:
"I think people are attracted to COVID-19 themed porn the same way people who are scared of their shadow are attached to horror movies: We are all searching for things that make us come alive
COVID-19 is something that brings fear and mystery to pretty much everyone in the world right now... You need to be able to feel something, and what better way to make you feel something than the global crisis we are all in right now".
Whereas another performer said it was made to "help inform viewers about proper mask usage and how the virus spreads".
"There are a lot of people with a mask kink, but I don't think that is directly related to this COVID-19 trend. I think it's attractive to people because it can help lighten the mood on a serious subject," they said.
So if you're worried about coronavirus, then just know that there's some informative videos you can watch later on tonight.
