LOS ANGELES — Sunny Megatron recently spoke to Tyler Dårlig Ulv for Slixa.com about online sex work under quarantine. The sexpert and host of the "American Sex Podcast" talked about the ways "sexual beings are staying in touch" online during the pandemic.
The wide-ranging interview opens with a discussion about self-care and information overload.
"When it comes to the cold hard facts, we’re probably consuming a little too much information!" she notes. "For our sex-ed work, we’re constantly on the lookout for anything pertaining to mental health and our emotional reactions to this crisis. Our sexual selves are so closely tied to our emotional well being. What we’re all collectively feeling is what dictates what people are seeking right now, in the intimacy department. Thankfully we’re also in close communication about the effects of COVID-19 on our psyches and sex lives with our colleagues, some of whom are world-leading sexologists and therapists."
Megatron and Ulv also discuss the effects of quarantine on the physical body. "This isolation period isn't just allowing folks the space to choose self-focused behaviors, in many ways, it’s forcing us to. As a reaction to the turmoil, our nervous systems are going haywire," Megatron observes.
The interview covers online sex classes and navigating online sex work for the first time, tips and suggestions for online erotic play — "It’s important to know that adult content is not allowed on mainstream platforms like Google or Skype," she warns — and more.
