Can you have sex during coronavirus? Read what experts have to say

can-you-have-sex-during-coronavirus-read-what-experts-have-to-say

As more than 6 billion people are currently on lockdown, with over 770.165 confirmed cases and 37,112 deaths, there are very clear rules on what you need to follow during quarantine. And they are: shopping only for basic necessities, taking one exercise per day, travelling to work if you must to and urgent medical needs.


So, while everything makes sense so far, what about the intimate life? It seems our politicians are not so concerned with this topic, so we have to look somewhere else for answers.


To date, the government has not given any official guidelines about sex. Dr Jenny Harries said in a press conference that now is a perfect time for couples to “test” a relationship by moving in together.


If I have sex can I catch coronavirus?


According to BBC, the answer is yes and no.


If you are single, you have a very high chance of being sexless for a few months. In this case, if you cannot wait until the epidemic will end, you need to self-isolate for two weeks or more, and neither of you are exhibiting symptoms or have come into contact with anyone who is, then go for it.


If you are considering meeting up with someone to have sex, don’t. It’s against the stipulations of the lockdown. As Prof. Estcourt says: “To comply with the government advice to prevent transmission, it’s really important that the only people you have sex with are those who live within your household. You should not be having sex if so doing means you have to breach government guidance not to mix households.” 


As far about those in a relationship you can have sex if both feel healthy, are not in an at-risk group, and have not come into contact with anyone with symptoms. 


As Dr Alex George told in an interview for BBC: If you're in a relationship… living with that person, and sharing the same environment, it shouldn't change your situation. However if one of you is displaying symptoms of coronavirus then you should maintain your social-distancing and isolate, even within your home. In an ideal world everyone would stay two metres apart - even in their own house, but we realise this may not be realistic.


So, is Covid-19 sexually transmissible? 


If either you or your partner are exhibiting symptoms or have come into contact with someone who is, then don’t have sex. The virus is primarily spread through respiratory droplets. So while there is no evidence that it can be transmitted through genital secretions, it could be spread through saliva.


Dr Carlos E. Rodríguez-Díaz, associate professor of prevention and community health at George Washington University, mentioned the following: “There is no evidence that Covid-19 can be transmitted via sexual intercourse; either vaginal or anal.

"However, kissing is a very common practice during sex, and the virus can be transmitted via saliva. Therefore, the virus can be transmitted by kissing."


At the end of day, can I just have sex while self-isolating alone? 


The short answer is no. The government has put us on lockdown to stop the spread of this deadly virus. And clearly that takes precedence over your sex life.


But all is not lost - the internet affords us plenty of ways to satisfy our needs from a safe distance. Take for example Pornhub, an adult entertainment site who is offering a free premium subscription to all new subscribers for one month. The company said they took this decision in order to make people respect the quarantine and stay home.

experts-have-revealed-the-sex-rules-during-coronavirus-pandemic

Behavioral Neurology Specialist Gonzalo Quintana Zunino of Concordia University (Canada) has revealed what are the sex rules during coronavirus infection. The specialist column was published by the newspaper The Conversation.


The author notes that there is currently no evidence of sexual transmission of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, involving vaginal, oral and anal contacts. Meanwhile, the specialist recalls that recorded cases of transmission of infection include not only the airborne droplet, but also the fecal-oral route.


The scientist concludes that almost any sexual practice will lead to the transmission of the virus. “Now is not the time to have sex,” the author is sure, noting that “if you and your partner have no symptoms and you stayed at home, then sex is most likely not dangerous.”


Otherwise, the specialist recommends doing "simple and small experiments." The author writes, in particular, on the use of condoms and latex gloves. “Instead of kisses and sexual intimacy, try erotic massage, chatting, courtship, mutual masturbation, watching or reading erotica, watching your partner enjoy himself,” the author writes.


According to the expert, during coronavirus infection, rimming should “remain completely behind the scenes”, and kisses through a mask will not save from infection.


In March, Louisiana State University (USA) reported that taking angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers, recommended, in particular, for elderly people with cardiovascular diseases, increases the likelihood of contracting SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in these individuals.

sex-buddies-can-cure-lockdown-loneliness-according-to-dutch-government

The Dutch government has advised single people to find a ‘sex buddy’ for intimacy during the lockdown imposed to control the spread of coronavirus.


Netherlands has joined other European countries in announcing the easing of the lockdown, outlining a four-month plan to phase out social restrictions if the virus will stay under control.


According to BBC, single people should come to an arrangement with another person, but the two should avoid having sex if either of the two are suspicious of having Covid-19.


The guidance comes after many critics said there was no sex advice for singles.


RIVM said "it makes sense that as a single [person] you also want to have physical contact" during the pandemic.


Should single people choose to engage in sexual contact, precautions should be taken to minimise the risk of coronavirus exposure, the authority said.


"Discuss how best to do this together," the RIVM guidance says. "For example, meet with the same person to have physical or sexual contact (for example, a cuddle buddy or 'sex buddy'), provided you are free of illness.


"Make good arrangements with this person about how many other people you both see. The more people you see, the greater the chance of (spreading) the coronavirus."


The RIVM has also issued advice for people whose long-term partners suspect they have contracted the coronavirus.


"Don't have sex with your partner if they have been isolated because of (suspected) coronavirus infection," it says.


"Sex with yourself or with others at a distance is possible," it adds, suggesting "erotic stories" and "masturbating together" as possible solutions.


On Monday, the Netherlands began the first stage of a five-phase lockdown exit plan.

As part of the first phase, libraries, hairdressers, nail bars, beauticians, massage salons and places providing occupational therapy were allowed to reopen from 11 May.


The relaxation of restrictions came after Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said the country had made "headway" in its effort to bring the number of coronavirus infections and deaths down.


In total, over 43,995 people have tested positive for coronavirus in the Netherlands so far, with more than 5,680 deaths. The number of people that have been tested so far in the country is close to 300.000.

sex-during-quarantine-how-to-spice-up-a-faded-love-life-when-in-self-isolation

The Western edition of The Journal of Sexual Medicine has published a frightening study. According to them, coronavirus hit not only health but also sexual life. The forced self-isolation quarantine destroys the intimate relationship of couples.


Chinese scientists interviewed 270 men and 189 women. 37% of respondents said that they became less likely to have sex. Approximately the same number of men and women said that they experience less pleasure from bed comforts. So, this is what psychologists advise in such a situation.


Stop indulging stress



A closed space, somewhere near a deadly disease, and what’s wrong with work, and how much longer self-isolation will be extended - stop thinking about all this. Yes, everyone is in a difficult situation. But if you focus on the problems, then you can forget about sex once and for all.


The body in stress mode does not think about reproduction and pleasure - you will feel like an animal chased by a predator on its heels: food and sleep - that’s all you need from pleasure. Just take self-isolation for granted and stop thinking about the future. Give yourself at least a week of rest, and your sex life will become normal.


Forget about any claims



Self-isolation is, in a sense, the moment of truth. If before the couple could rest from each other at work, now they can’t leave the house. In such a situation, the main thing is to avoid resentment, claims and mutual reproaches.


Suppose you can still withstand a couple of scenes or scandals and even use them as a reason for passionate reconciliation in bed. But the constant pill literally cuts off all sexual desire under the root. And this concerns both tantrums from the wife and reproaches from the husband.


Want sex - learn to enjoy each other, cheer and support.


Discover Role Playing Games



And it's not about computer heroes. In the end, it was not for nothing that nature rewarded man with fantasy. And two people have twice as much imagination. You can watch erotic films together or present different exciting scenes.


Stroll through classic adult movie plots. Yes, it is possible that sex in the castle of the counts cannot be portrayed in the kitchen as a small-sized bedroom, but the arrival of a nurse who takes your analysis for coronavirus is a convincing fantasy. Psychologists believe that isolation is not only stressful, but also a good reason to rely on each other in intimate relationships.


Adult toys



Sex shop - saving bored couples. And even though you can’t reach him, no one canceled the delivery. And what to choose - here to help youtube and various blogs. Moreover, there are thousands of sex teachers on the Internet.


Jointly discuss what you are interested in. And shame down, you are locked in your apartment, no one will know about your tricks. However, for especially risky couples there are swing parties - they can also be organized online.


In general, self-isolation is not a reason to be sad. Rather, you need to look at what is happening from a different angle and stir up yourself and, it seemed, asleep an intimate life in the family. Then perhaps quarantine will leave you much happier.

it-is-urged-to-stop-filming-sex-scences-in-movies-due-to-coronavirus

British television and movies directors have been urged to stop filming sex scenes during the coronavirus pandemic for the sake of actors' safety. Such a proposal was made by the professional association of directors of Great Britain, reports The Guardian.


In the updated guide to filming erotic scenes, filmmakers are encouraged to replace bed scenes with alternative ones. Specifically, actors may “straighten their clothes or change after the event,” or their body parts may “move under the covers”. Also, directors are offered to "remove the bedroom door, leaving the viewer to think out what is happening in it on their own."


In March 2018, the American Actors' Union Equity released a guide for filmmakers with guidance on how to prevent sex scandals, harassment, and psychological abuse in the industry. Earlier it was reported that the superhero action movie "Wonder Woman 2" will be created following similar guidance.
