Sex During Quarantine: How to Stay Home & Get Off
Here’s the deal. We know that solo sex is safe sex when it comes to COVID-19, right? While that’s true, there are some more guidelines by the New York Health Department when it comes to your quarantine loving.
First of all, make sure you understand that COVID-19 is transmitted through mucus, saliva, and people’s breathing (which is why masks are so important). Knowing that close human contact could make you more vulnerable to catching this virus, the guidance below from NYC Health should help provide some guidance (reminder: we are not health care professionals, so please consult your doctor for further questions).
Solo sex is safe sex! Wash your hands and wash your toys, bbs! We want to encourage you to treat yourself. You might as well make sure you have the best vibrator to keep you through the rest of 2020 because, let’s be real, who knows how long we’ll be in quarantine.
Get it on with someone you live with. Take a look at your quarantine buddies. If one happens to be your signifiant other, great! Otherwise, is there someone you are living with who has been responsible with social distancing that you could safely have consensual sex with? Something to think about.
Gotta outsource a partner from your home? Okay, this one is where it gets dicey. This is where you can practice having conversations about testing (like you should with STD/STI testing). If someone you would like to have sex with has been tested, that could be helpful. Otherwise, If they tested positive, have they been quarantined for 14 days since their positive test result? Also, have they felt symptoms which could be fever, sore throat, coughing, shortness of breath in the last 14 days? This is pandemic, people! Please, please, please be careful.
Keep your partners consistent and to a minimum. It is strongly advised that you stick with the same partner and avoid adding more to the party. We’re social distancing, remember??
There are some other things you can do to help slow the spread while you stay home and get off: keep masks on and you can mutually masturbate, WEAR PROTECTION - ALWAYS, and wash your hands!
Stay safe and get off!
