Internationally-renowned lifestyle Domme Mistress Eva, co-host of the brand-new Safeword Podcast, is highlighting the brutal effects that the fast-moving coronavirus epidemic is having on the BDSM community at safewordpodcast.

In the new episode, ‘How Has the Coronavirus Affected the BDSM Community?’, frequent-flier Eva, whose own business excursions have been interrupted by COVID-19’s global path of terror, took to the studio with co-host Dirk Hooper after posting to her Twitter page.

“The question that we tweeted… ‘How has Coronavirus changed your kink play and sessions? Are you doing anything differently? Physically? Mentally? Do you have any tips?’ We have quite a few things that came back,” said Eva, who encourages the industry’s providers to peruse respondents’ helpful advice on her Twitter @youwillpleaseME.

Eva noted that “lifestylers are making changes, but professional dominatrices are hyper-aware of precautions, and taking them. Many, if not most, have stopped in-person sessions worldwide, and are trying online cam and clip sites, even if they haven’t before. We are also trying to keep the community connected by hosting video hangouts centered around kink, and group chats are ramping up.

She and Hooper discuss sex workers’ lack of – and need for – a solid support system, proactive unions and healthcare, putting out a plea to donate to sex worker advocacy & service organizations.

They urge providers suffering hardships during this crisis to reach out to programs such as SWOP, Stroll PDX and Sex Workers Project in the US, as well as SWARM and Sex Workers Alliance Ireland in the UK; many have launched fundraising efforts to bring assistance to those in need in the uncertain days ahead.
