Barbary: Mia, how did you enjoy the shoot today?
Mia: I enjoyed it terribly. Terribly so. It was devastatingly good. Yeah, it was really fun.

Barbary: Yeah, yeah, I agree. We’ve been talking about this for a while, so I feel like I’ve been very excited and, like, low key. We’re like, we don’t have to plan too much. It was just, like, really natural. So it was fun.
Mia: Yeah, trust the chemistry.
Barbary: Yeah.And like, we’ve shot together a long time ago. So this was a fun reunion.
Mia: Yeah. Really, really fun!
Barbary: Yeah.
Mia – Yeah. I’m glad you had a good time.

Mia: What, if anything, was challenging today for you?
Barbary: It was a pretty easy shoot, I would say, like, yeah, it’s warm. So I started to get a little hot at a certain point, but it was, like, short and sweet, so I didn’t overheat too much. And it was good. Yeah.
Mia: Yeah.
Barbary: What about you?
Mia: Honestly, I was gonna say, like, coming too soon cause then it’d be over! but I’m glad I held out. But other than that, it was so short and sweet. Yeah, it was really fast.
Barbary: I know, I was like, I want to keep going, but I think we’re good with the the time, but we can keep going.
Mia: I think we’re good.
Barbary: So maybe that was a hard thing too. Is like, when to stop.
Mia: Yes, indeed. Indeed. The self-control.
Barbary: Yeah.
(Ava, off camera): Thank you

Barbary: What do you say for sex practices? And why?
Mia: Yeah. I think going off of today, we had a really thorough conversation beforehand. We talked about statuses and boundaries and also the things that we like. I feel like safer sex can also include, like what are our “yums” so you get into the right headspace.
Barbary: Yeah.
Mia: It was really fun, both as a fetish and safer sex practice of using gloves because I feel like we both, we both like gloves.
Barbary: Yeah they’re hot.
Mia: Yeah, yeah. So. And, like, you and I got tested before this. I feel like nowadays, a safer sex practice is also rapid testing for COVID. Because it’s out here. Yeah, that’s kind of how I, how I approach it.

Mia: How are you feeling about your safer sex practices today?
Barbary: Yeah. I feel like we are very thorough and I appreciated that we’ve been talking a week in advance or so about testing, like both got tested. Did COVID tests. using the gloves is just hot, but, like, also makes me feel good to represent safer sex on camera and be like, it can be really hot. So yeah, I felt very comfortable and feel good about it.
Mia: Yeah. Yeah. Even talking about body safe materials is like…
Barbary: Yeah, yeah. And having a set where it’s like, what kind of lube do you prefer? Are these condoms okay. Is latex okay. Like the consideration we have for each other’s body is it’s really important.
Mia: Got to take care of each other. Yeah.
Barbary: Oh, yeah you can ask it. Let me interview you. (laughs) I’m a top now.
Mia: The power got to your head.

Mia: Why do you continue to do porn?
Barbary: I enjoy doing porn I think like over a decade ago when I got into it, it was like a great way for me to explore my sexuality. CrashPad was a very important part of that. And like, being able to represent real sex in porn is important. And like different bodies and different types of sex. So I think it’s just it’s liberating. And, you know, the stuff that I want to see is what I want to make. So. Yeah. Yeah.

Barbary: What about you?
Mia: I feel like with that question, the first thing comes to mind is a “sex archive” You know, I was kind of also like a form of resistance because I think for me, I started in more mainstream, LA-type porn got so sick of it because it’s so just so monotonous and not the type of porn I want to shoot. So this is like the type of porn I want to shoot that’s really representative of, like where I, where I’m at with my body. The type of sex that I want to have, you know, and I feel like it’s a lot more true to form and in alignment with my values and and just like where I want to be.

Barbary: Yeah. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, I also love that you brought up like the archival process of it because it is really cool to see like CrashPad introduced me to queerness like before I even knew I was queer. And to go to like a film festival recently, that Pink&White was in and see queer porn from the 70’s and things like that.
It’s like, oh, people are going to look back at this and think, it’s so dated at some point.
Mia: It’s a time capsule
Barbary: But yeah, it’s like even through the political turmoil, you know, just globally what’s going on. This feels like an act of resistance.
Mia: Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Gotta gotta push back.
Barbary: Yeah. I’m gonna cry. (laughing)

Barbary: If you could be any sex toy, what would you be, Mia?
Mia: I would be my reliable glass dildo that I’ve had for over, I think, 12 years.
Barbary: Can we see what it looks like because we didn’t use it.
Mia: We didn’t use it, because your fingers were so good. But I hope it lasts forever.
Barbary: Yeah, yeah.
Mia: Me too. You can like, warm it up, cool it down. Spin around. Good team player with Hitachi and good team player. If two people want to like trib and stuff, you know what I mean. You know what I mean. I do know like.

Mia: How about you? How about you?
Barbary: I was like, I don’t know. And then I was like, obviously I have a tattoo of a Hitachi, so…
Mia: It was meant to be! Look, dream team right there.
Barbary: I would definitely be a Hitachi Tried and true. Maybe even the plugged in one, for old time sake.
Mia: – Vintage!
Barbary: Yeah. She’s stronk.
Mia: She’s stronk. Stronk and loud!

(Holding dildo to Hitachi tattoo)
Mia: Frwiends!

Mia: Yeah, I’m so glad we made this happen! It was super easeful. I felt like our chemistry was electric, but also very sweet. I love making, like, sweet smut. Yeah. And it felt so natural with you. And I’m really, really glad that I was your scene partner today.
Barbary: Thank you. And thank you for suggesting it. And, like, reaching out and making it happen. You were the doer that sent the emails and made this happen. Thank you and agreed. I think this is like really what I needed right now. I know I make a lot of like fetish stuff usually, and it’s nice. Yeah, it’s nice to just have a really cute, sexy time. And I hope everyone else really enjoyed that too.

Mia: Yeah, I feel like we got to like a wink at the side of ourselves, but also like, really enjoy the sweetness.
Barbary: We’re complex.
Mia: – Multifaceted
Barbary: Yeah. I think that’s that’s all, all I have. And thanks to CrashPad for having us! Happy 400 episodes!

Mia: Wowowowowowow! Bowowowow!
Barbary: – That’s amazing. Fireworks.
Mia: – Seriously!
