Abstract

The feminist indie porn film director Erika Lust is revamping the ways in which pornography is constructed during the time of quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sex and Love in the Time of Quarantine is an indie porn documentary which compiles the experiences of six individuals in Barcelona, New York, Los Angeles and Florida in the year 2020. This chapter introduces Erika Lust, her website, the feminist pornography industry, and a questionnaire filled out by Erika Lust on the production of Sex & Love in the Time of Quarantine and the future of pornography. In addition, we explore how the erotic power within everyone becomes the force with which to alter traditional views on gender, sex, and sexuality, and, as a result, the erotic empowers the individual even during the COVID-19 pandemic, when pornography directors and performers recreate cinematographic outlets to author their own performances and continue to inspire viewers to rethink their sexual possibilities and desires.
