In an attempt to milk profits from the coronavirus outbreak, porn sites are now posting films that feature people having sex in hamzat suits, face masks and hospital gowns.
The twisted new trend has videos titled ‘Deserted Wuhan’ and ‘TSA Agent Detains Woman Suspected of Coronavirus’ among others appearing on adult sites. The sex scenes take place in what looks like medical facilities.
According to thecable.ng, Spicy, a member of the Spicy x Rice porn duo — said to be behind the coronavirus-themed porn videos — said that the films were meant to further sensitize people about the killer virus.
“I think people are attracted to the COVID-19 themed porn the same way people who are scared of their shadow are attached to horror movies,” Spicy said.
“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.” It comes as Italy considers a ban on the traditional Italian greeting of kissing each other on the cheek as part of draconian emergency measures which have seen the country close all schools and universities until at least March 15.
Coronavirus emerged in China late last year and has now infected 95,000 people in more than 80 countries and caused more than 3,200 deaths. Nigeria recorded its first case on February 27. The index case is an Italian who came into the country for business.
