INTRO MUSIC Skip: How did you enjoy the shoot, Johnny? Johnny: I enjoyed it immensely. I had so much fun. It was really good to see you again. It's been a while. And just to have fun with you and play was amazing. How did you enjoy the shoot? Skip: I also had a great time. I love connecting with you. I think we have great sexual chemistry Johnny: Yeah! Skip: On the camera, off camera.... Johnny: Yeah, definitely. Skip: And it's been a while, so it was really nice to reconnect, especially in a setting like CrashPad. Johnny: Yeah. Oh, for sure. For CrashPad. Cuts to scene.. ; Skip: Oh, fuck... Oh, fuck. Johnny: Oh no, go back! Skip: Go back? Johnny: I'm not done yet. Skip: Oh mmmm Cuts back to interview... Johnny: What, if anything, was challenging about this shoot? Skip: Well, I had...It's been a while since I've been on camera. I haven't been in front of the camera since July. So I think I was having some nerves about that. But again, like, I think I feel really comfortable with you. I feel really comfortable at CrashPad. So I knew that those nerves or pre-shooting jitters would would dissipate. Johnny: Yeah definitely Skip: And they feel like they did. Once we got into the scene, it was easy peasy. Johnny: Yeah I feel the same for me. I think I'm a little bit on the shy side even if I don't act like it. And so I think that that's kind of one of the reasons. I do this anyway is just to push my own boundaries and get out. And yeah, I feel like once we got started, I was just kind of lost in... Yeah... in You. So yeah! Skip: I feel similarly. Like, once we started it's like, Oh, it's Johnny. I know Johnny. Yeah, this is okay. Johnny: Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Same. Cuts to sex scene... Skip: It's my turn. Cuts back to interview... Skip: So what are your safer sex practices and why do you do those things? Johnny: Depending on what I'm doing and with who, a lot of the time it's exchanging paperwork or proof of testing. I feel like a lot of the stuff that I do already is in front of the camera. So a lot of it also just happens to be bareback stuff. So most of it is just like showing each other. Like, this is when I got tested. All clear. And how about your's? Skip: I get tested monthly, if not more consistently. And I have those papers on hand at all times. Johnny: Yeah. Skip: And I have the expectation that my sex partners also have those. Johnny: Yeah. Skip: I also just started the PrEP injection. Johnny: Oh, yeah? How is that going? Skip: It's very exciting. Johnny: Yeah. Skip: And I use doxy-PEP. Johnny: Which is - Skip: Yeah, I'll take Doxy within 24 hours of having unprotected sex. And that helps fight against chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis. Johnny: Yeah, that's great. I should have said I also get tested monthly, if not more. Yeah, and the people at the clinic know me by nickname. Skip: Great. Johnny: Yeah. Skip:If you've done porn - you have done porn before. LAUGHS Skip: Why do you continue to do porn, Johnny? Johnny: I mean, I think to push my own boundaries with what I'm comfortable with. I think it helps a lot with my anxiety, but a lot of it is like I get to hang out with people that I love. Like you. I get to meet new people. I can work with a lot of just amazing, sexy...you know, performers that are some of the best people in my life. And how about you? Skip: So I have taken a step back from doing porn full time. Johnny: Sure. Skip: But I did do this scene today with you and with CrashPad because - Johnny: Which, thank you! Skip: Yeah! I mean, I feel like I do porn now as a way, like it's more of a passive income and it is much more on my schedule and my terms and what I'm available for. And that makes porn really fun and appetizing for me. Like I have been looking forward to this scene, even if I had nerves, like I've been looking forward to reconnecting with you and being in a room full of queer trans people. Yeah, that that brings me a lot of joy. And I think that it's really great that we can connect over sex and intimacy in that way, too. Johnny: Great answer. Skip: Thank you. LAUGHS Cuts to sex scene: Skip: Sniff my armpit Oh, fuck. Yeah. That's it baby. Fuck. Oh, my God. Oh, you're so fucking beautiful. Cuts back to interview: Johnny: What has been your favorite thing about quarantine? Skip: Oh, I think my favorite thing about quarantine has been I think strengthening the relationships that I already have instead of continuing to build new ones. Johnny: Sure. Skip: I think quarantine really helped me realize who the important people in my life are and why I should invest in them. Johnny: Yeah. Skip: And yeah, like seeing less people because of COVID has helped to carve out space for me to do that. Johnny: Totally. Definitely. Skip: What about you? Johnny: Same. But like with myself not feeling the pressure of having to go out and be social, even if my social battery is completely depleted. Skip:Yeah. Johnny: And having that time to kind of figure out what I actually like doing. Skip:Yeah. Johnny: If I'm just doing it for pleasure. Skip: Yeah. It's wild. LAUGHS Johnny: I'm only one person Cuts to sex scene: Oh, baby. Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck yeah. You feel so good. Oh, my God. Oh, fuck. Right there. Oh, fuck... Fuck me. Cuts back to interview: I'm having a great time. I think that's what I want people to know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had a blast, and I feel very lucky and fortunate to have... to get to do stuff like this. Absolutely. With people like you.
