COVID, Kissing, and Cooties

COVID, Kissing, and Cooties

Written by: Phay Moores, Intimacy Coordinator and Intimacy Director

When it comes to performing sex acts in mainstream media, we are limited by what we can show on camera. Kissing remains the only sex act we ask actors to perform and not simulate (with the exception of performers who prefer kiss-masking over non-simulated lip-locking). However, kissing is one of the more dangerous requests we can ask of our performers.
