In an attempt to milk profits from the coronavirus outbreak, porn sites are now posting films that feature people having sex in hamazat 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.
Speaking about the trend to Vice, the male half of porn duo Spicy x Rice who feature in some of the coronavirus videos 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.”
He added:
“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.”
Spicy believes that their videos contain key information on how to prevent the spread of the disease and were made with the intention to educate people.
‘We thought we would use our porn as an avenue to get some legitimate information out with some comic relief included to get people interested and reduce our chances of being banned,’ he told the publication.
He added that the couple knew people who were ‘stuck in Wuhan’ and insisted that they ‘made the video with them in mind.’
The videos come despite the virus that emerged in China late last year infecting 95,000 people in more than 80 countries and causing over 3,200 deaths
The video is coming on the heels of Italy considering 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.

A top security chief confirmed to Nigerian Pilot yesterday that the military authorities had made progress in the investigation of the affected Army officers, adding that they would soon be court-martialed.
He said the delay in their arraignment before a military court was because of the concentration of activities on how to rescue the abducted schoolgirls from Chibok, Borno State by Boko Haram sect.
According to the source, some detained Boko Haram suspects allegedly named the Generals and other military officers as supplying them arms.
He explained that the military High Command would only make the matter public after concluding its internal checks to ensure that there are no loose ends.
The security chief said that the Nigerian Army, headed by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Kenneth Minimah, in conjunction with other military top brass was working tirelessly to sanitise the armed forces and fish out collaborators with insurgents.
He hinted that the Army Chief had been briefed on the Generals’ arms deals with the insurgents, adding that “he (Army Chief) is currently carrying out a secret and independent investigation on the matter.”
A few months ago, a soldier had told a foreign news agency that some top military chiefs were colluding with Boko Haram sect in their raging offensive in the North-East.
In a swift reaction, The Defence Headquarters described the allegations as grave and promised to investigate the claims. The outcome of the probe is yet to be made public by the authorities as well as the names of the affected Generals.
The insurgents operate with local and sophisticated weapons such as Improvised Explosives Devices, IEDs, AK-47rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars.
A United States, US Network TV, NBC, recently reported that most of the terror group’s weapons were either stolen from Nigerian military stocks or purchased from the thriving Central African arms black market.
Army replaces attacked Borno GOC
Meanwhile, the military high command has summoned the General Officer Commanding the 7th Infantry Division, Maj-Gen. Abubakar Mohammed to Abuja for an explanation into what led to shooting by some soldiers under his command at Maimalari Barracks in Maiduguri, Borno State.
Already, the military has named Brig-Gen. M.Y. Ibrahim as Mohammed’s successor in acting capacity.
Coordinator of the National Information Centre on Insurgency, Mike Omeri, yesterday confirmed the alleged mutiny by soldiers in Borno and the setting up of an investigation panel on the issue.
At the daily briefing on the update of insurgency activities in the country, Omeri, however, said the nature and details of the incident were sketchy.
But the Director of Defence Information, Maj-Gen. Chris Olukolade, in a statement earlier, assured that the military authorities will investigate the circumstance leading to the soldier’s’ act.
“The 7 Division of the Nigerian Army is to institute a military board of inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the conduct of soldiers who fired some shots.”
Media reports had suggested that the soldiers’ action was due to anger following the death of 15 of their colleagues in a Boko Haram ambush, on their way back from an operation in Kalabalge, but it was also gathered that the military personnel had deep resentment against GOC Mohammed.
Gen. Mohammed was reported to have narrowly escaped death on Wednesday when angry soldiers opened fire on his official vehicle when he came to address them at the command headquarters at Maimalari Barracks.
According to further information, soldiers who attacked the vehicle of the former GOC also shot two of the soldiers in his escort on the legs for guiding him into his armoured car and facilitating his escape.

Lucia Azzolina, Italy’s minister of education, said schools will close from March 5 until March 15 while the nation attempts to grapple with the ongoing outbreak.

The FCT high court has given an order restraining Comrade Adams Oshomole from parading himself as the National Chairman of the ruling, All Progressives Congress, APC.
By this ruling, the former Labor Leader and Governor of Edo State seizes to be the chairman, pending the outcome of various legal battles.
In his ruling Hon. Justice Senchi Z. Danlami gave an order of interlocutory injunction restraining Comrade Adams Oshiomhole from parading himself as the National Chairman of the APC, pending the hearing and determination of the substance suite. Comrade Adams Oshomole has been in the eye of the storm lately, as he was recently suspended by his party at his Ward, Local Government and State levels.
It was on this premise the injunction application was grounded. Allegations that triggered his suspension include; alleged Highhandedness, Misappropriation of funds and Disregard for the rule of law.
The ruling All Progressives Congress, has in recent days been going through a lot of turmoil.
After surviving major judicial upsets in Zamfara and Rivers State during the buildup to the last elections, which totally knocked them of the ballot; the APC has been battling with internal Unity, especially in its NWC.
It was alleged that Comrade Adams, single handedly appointed a National Secretary for the party without any constitutional backing.
This did not go down well with many members of the NWC and has caused a visible crack in the NWC. These allegations have fueled Pro and Anti Oshiomhole rallies around the country.
The last rally in Abuja was reported to have turned out violent as Pro and Anti Oshiomhole supporters collided in front of the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja. An action that was out of control till the security agencies came in to restore peace.
As events unfold, a lot will get clearer, but as it stands, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole legally seizes to be the National Chairman of the APC.
