Sex workers are especially precarious during the pandemic. At the New Yorker, Alexis Okeowo writes:
“The pandemic has created a catastrophic health and economic crisis that has illuminated the fragile existence of low-wage and gig workers in the United States. The experience of sex workers, who find the most stable work as independent contractors, is no different. (Some strip clubs offer workers employee status, but they are in the minority; in Nevada, where prostitution is legal in some counties, workers at brothels are considered independent contractors.) Like undocumented workers who are barred from getting government benefits in exchange for their labor, and prison laborers who receive little consideration of their rights as workers, sex workers have few places to turn for help.”

The pandemic is speeding up the evolution of porn:
“COVID-19 has apparently created a massive demand for porn. Traffic to Pornhub spiked nearly 25% in March, and OnlyFans, a site for independent porn producers, says they’re getting 200,000 new signups each day. But large studio shoots have completely stopped — meaning that independent producers have a unique opportunity to capture the attention of a world looking for sexual content.”

Should disaster make us closer?:
“It’s easy to be irritable right now, and to take that irritation out on the person closest to you. Annoyingly, this is also likely to be the person from whom you most want and need love and support. You may be tempted to vent about your partner to your partner, but Guralnik cautions against blaming your partner for things you have some control over. ‘For example, saying to your partner, ‘You never show me any affection’ is not going to work,’ she says. ‘You’re going to immediately put someone on the defense.’ Instead, think about how you’ve tended to your own needs over the past 24 hours: Did you get enough sleep? Did you exercise? Did you limit your news consumption? When you’re attending to these things, then you can ask your partner for something specific: ‘Can we ban phones during dinner tonight?’ or ‘Can you give me a hug?'”
