On the Set: 'Naked' With Kay Brandt and Adam & Eve

I mean, I know they do on Dating Naked, but the participants on Naked and Afraid probably don’t for the most part, because they’re starving, severely dehydrated, covered in bug bites, in pain—all the kind of issues that would keep a good sex experience from happening. But they do a lot of heavy-duty spooning at night, in part to keep warm.” In fact, that’s just the sort of activity this feature’s stars, Derrick Pierce and Britney Amber, engage in as the main characters in Brandt’s Naked and Afraid–style show-within-a-show, shot in the closest thing Southern California has to the deserts of Madagascar. Fortunately, that lensing took place in early May, before SoCal’s 100-plus-degree summer kicked in, but we’re guessing (we weren’t there) the set was pretty sweaty anyway, what with the leads and others, including Mia Li, Small Hands and Logan Long, getting it on in tents. Above, Logan Long, Mia Li and Small Hands   What we did get to see was Derrick’s reunion with his husband and wife—did we mention it’s a polyamorous relationship?—Chanel Preston and Ryan Driller. It’s a very friendly “welcome home” fuck that includes plenty of cuddling, foreplay (Derrick licking Chanel’s ear, feet and pussy; Chanel’s mouth engulfing Ryan’s tall rod; Ryan muff-diving and fingering Chanel as she kisses Derrick) before the threeway action begins, including plenty of doggie/bj, cowgirl/bj, sidesaddle/bj, missionary/upside down bj—oh, hell; just assume every sexual position included bj somewhere! Especially the double bj at the end. The thing is, though, Derrick never bothered to tell Britney when the two were roughing it in the desert that he was part of a threesome, and she’s been emailing and texting Derrick that she wants to visit him now that they’re both back in the States—and he doesn’t quite know how to handle it. “I think more important than the physicality is the emotional connection that some of these participants develop with their teammates,” Brandt said regarding Naked and Afraid. “Meeting a stranger in the most bizarre conditions and having to trust them with your life for 21 days—that is what this story is about: Two strangers meet each other on a show like Naked and Afraid, on a survival show, and they develop a very intense connection and when the show is over, they can’t get each other out of their minds, which I think probably happens probably a lot with these people. But they go back to their married lives, and so do these characters, but the woman goes back to her relationship that she was honest about with her boyfriend, and the male goes back to a relationship that he was not honest about when he was on the show, because he’s in a polyamorous relationship with another woman and another guy, and did not feel that he wanted that broadcast on network television in that way, so he led his teammate to believe that he was a lone wolf, man of the wilderness, alone, not involved with anybody, not tied to anybody’s strings, and after the show’s over, they reconnect, and that’s when she finds out that he’s really not all that he said he was.” To say it was a bit uncomfortable to shoot that “reunion” scene would be an understatement. Derrick invites Britney into his home’s living room and starts to explain his real-life living situation to her, and soon they’re joined by Chanel and Ryan, though Britney still doesn’t get what’s happening at first. Then the truth begins to dawn on her and—it’s at that point Kay Brandt won’t reveal the rest of the plot. After all, she’s gotta keep something back! So buy the DVD, people! Naked will be released by Adam and Eve Pictures in the fall of 2017. Above, Derrick Pierce, Chanel Preston and Ryan Driller. Below, Britney Amber.
