And you think nurses had it tough!?
Maitland Ward has gone public about her feature length porn film that was made during COVID-19…
You may remember her name from BOY MEETS WORLD. Now she’s in the world of COVID as a porn star..
The harrowing experience, as revealed in an essay in the DAILY BEAST, include:
At first, I have to admit, I was a little skeptical. How would this all work? Would the cast and crew be able to remain safe and healthy for a span of days and weeks? But any trepidation I had quickly left me when I saw the time and effort put in to insure this production would run smoothly and safely.
Ward goes on to reveal that cast and crew received COVID tests every single morning, regardless of whether or not they were required to be on set.
That may be surprising given the state of testing in the United States! So many are struggling to get tested.. But Ward and cast etc were able to daily.
The porn production house also hired an EMT, and temperatures were checked frequently and at random. We are sure it was ‘hot’ in there.
Ward wrote that ‘disinfecting, and distancing were enforced, and only performers in scenes could take their masks off.’
But you can rest easy tonight with this knowledge: Ward made the best of a tragic situation.
Ward has been abstaining from sexual relations in her personal life due to anxiety about spreading and contracting the coronavirus – but the safety of the set gave her a place to let loose without having to worry about anyone being infected.
‘I had missed random human contact so much I think I mauled my first scene partner, but he didn’t seem to mind.’
