CAN I HAVE SEX DURING THIS QUARANTINE?

Well it all depends. Are you trying to contract the virus? JK.

Wondering how and if you can have sex with your partner during our Covid 19 quarantine? It turns out you can because while traces of Covid 19 have been found in human feces it has yet to be found in semen or vaginal fluid. Because of that, we should probably hold on things like rimming and anal sex. Heck, even just kissing too many different people for the next long while.

If you are going to have sex, first it is best you do it with yourself and then wash everything including your toys. If you must do it with someone else, let it be someone you live with and if not, then let it just be that one person out of your home. Again, wash up. It has always been important but now it all hits different. If you can’t take it anymore and you’re deciding to meet someone on Tinder or Hinge, don’t. Period.
