1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
(Intro music)

2
00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:23,520
(Shine Louise Houston)
What did you like about the shoot today?

3
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,850
The thing that I liked the best 
about the shoot today was

4
00:00:28,060 --> 00:00:29,320
It felt very safe

5
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,640
I felt, um, like

6
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,840
a lot of the

7
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,330
redesign of the set was really thought out

8
00:00:37,620 --> 00:00:42,870
and it made it really easy for me 
to let loose and have a good time

9
00:00:43,130 --> 00:00:44,020
Um...

10
00:00:44,860 --> 00:00:46,860
In these strange times that we're in right now

11
00:00:47,060 --> 00:00:50,460
So, um, I appreciate that.

12
00:00:51,050 --> 00:00:53,750
It was also kind of cool having four cameras

13
00:00:53,950 --> 00:00:55,950
kinda looking at you (laughs)

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,120
so you kinda had a chance to

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,320
a chance to

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,520
find a way to play with the cameras as well

17
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,720
So, um

18
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,430
It kinda felt like I was 
having fun with myself

19
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:09,530
but also 

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,580
with four robots in the compu- in the room.

21
00:01:12,750 --> 00:01:13,690
So it was kinda cool. 

22
00:01:15,220 --> 00:01:17,220
What was challenging about the shoot?

23
00:01:17,550 --> 00:01:21,720
The most challenging thing 
was just losing your sense of time

24
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,760
because, you know, you don't have 

25
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:27,810
folks that you're reading body language from

26
00:01:28,010 --> 00:01:30,010
So, um...

27
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:32,700
That was the only challenging part.

28
00:01:34,410 --> 00:01:36,410
It is my first solo shoot

29
00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:40,990
I was just trying to make sure

30
00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:43,190
I was giving the camera enough time to 

31
00:01:43,390 --> 00:01:46,530
adjust to my changes of movements.

32
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,080
but I felt like there was so much coverage

33
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,280
it wasn't really a thing

34
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,480
that I needed to worry about. 

35
00:01:55,230 --> 00:01:57,230
What are your safer sex practices, and why?

36
00:01:57,430 --> 00:01:59,430
(Laughs)

37
00:01:59,990 --> 00:02:01,990
Well my favorite safer sex practices are

38
00:02:02,190 --> 00:02:04,190
always gloves

39
00:02:04,390 --> 00:02:07,260
and I choose to use gloves with partners

40
00:02:07,570 --> 00:02:09,570
and also with myself

41
00:02:09,789 --> 00:02:11,790
because... you know, 

42
00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:15,010
I have a lot of cuts on my hand

43
00:02:15,170 --> 00:02:17,820
and I just want to keep things safe

44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
so that my hands can heal and also 

45
00:02:21,220 --> 00:02:23,220
prevent getting stuff

46
00:02:23,420 --> 00:02:25,420
up in my junk. (Laughs)

47
00:02:27,180 --> 00:02:29,180
But gloves are always my favorite go-to.

48
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:31,700
It almost feels strange to not have them

49
00:02:33,210 --> 00:02:35,210
condoms, I love to use

50
00:02:35,410 --> 00:02:36,660
on all of my dicks

51
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,800
because

52
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,840
it just makes clean-up a lot easier.

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,040
and it just, um

54
00:02:44,230 --> 00:02:45,900
feels safer to me

55
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,800
especially because as much as you 
want to clean those realistic cocks

56
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,240
they're very porous so I like the condom to keep 

57
00:02:57,310 --> 00:02:59,310
the health of my junk good.

58
00:03:01,730 --> 00:03:03,730
Why do you continue to do porn?

59
00:03:04,730 --> 00:03:07,470
I continue to do porn because

60
00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:10,470
it's a form of creative expression for me

61
00:03:12,330 --> 00:03:16,540
it's a place where I really get to be myself

62
00:03:16,740 --> 00:03:17,910
and

63
00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:19,990
be

64
00:03:20,190 --> 00:03:22,940
in a place where I can just show a lot of pleasure

65
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:24,150
and I feel like

66
00:03:24,610 --> 00:03:28,180
folks like myself and people who 
are part of my community

67
00:03:28,260 --> 00:03:29,740
we're often told in society 

68
00:03:29,820 --> 00:03:34,210
that we don't deserve pleasure, 
we don't deserve these things

69
00:03:34,410 --> 00:03:38,530
this is one space where I feel like we can

70
00:03:38,810 --> 00:03:39,620
prove that wrong.

71
00:03:39,850 --> 00:03:41,850
We do. We do deserve pleasure.

72
00:03:42,050 --> 00:03:43,820
We do deserve respect.

73
00:03:44,250 --> 00:03:46,250
We deserve love

74
00:03:46,450 --> 00:03:52,170
Porn is a form of expression 
for me to tell that story.

75
00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:55,310
and to show that experience.

76
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,920
So I continue to do it because

77
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,120
it is one of the most

78
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,160
liberating practices, for me. 

79
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,710
What has been the best thing about quarantine?

80
00:04:09,540 --> 00:04:14,130
I think the best thing about quarantine

81
00:04:14,290 --> 00:04:17,480
has been the opportunity to rest

82
00:04:18,620 --> 00:04:20,620
We live in a society - a capitalist society - 

83
00:04:20,820 --> 00:04:23,260
that's like, you got to produce, produce, produce...

84
00:04:23,460 --> 00:04:26,440
and like it really forced us to  

85
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,640
reevaluate what was important

86
00:04:29,790 --> 00:04:30,390
and

87
00:04:31,070 --> 00:04:35,330
I - I enjoyed quarantine 
because I got to stay at home

88
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,860
and fortunately my job still paid me

89
00:04:38,060 --> 00:04:41,940
and I got to spend way 
more time with my partner

90
00:04:42,770 --> 00:04:45,850
and share more time that 
I don't usually get to share 

91
00:04:46,050 --> 00:04:48,800
because I'm always working 
three different hustles

92
00:04:51,710 --> 00:04:54,410
It was a moment for me to just finally rest.

93
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,750
That was probably the best part of quarantine.

94
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,940
Closing statement? Anything that 
you'd like to say about today?

95
00:05:04,020 --> 00:05:05,200
Or porn in general?

96
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,940
Hmm...

97
00:05:09,450 --> 00:05:14,220
Um, I know quarantine can 
be hard for a lot of people.

98
00:05:14,420 --> 00:05:19,610
And it is scary, living in a pandemic.

99
00:05:20,850 --> 00:05:23,450
Don't forget to find those moments

100
00:05:23,580 --> 00:05:24,680
to find joy

101
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,460
and always be safe

102
00:05:28,580 --> 00:05:30,580
and, you know

103
00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:35,990
take this time to really learn

104
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,800
and figure out what brings you pleasure

105
00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:42,430
especially when we're not 
seeing too many people

106
00:05:42,540 --> 00:05:44,540
 or not able to share 
space with a lot of people

107
00:05:45,950 --> 00:05:47,720
this is really a time to look inward

108
00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:52,620
and find what pleases you and explore those things.
