Sex and coronavirus: How to have it safely

So 2020 has us all shook and a common question is how people can have sex during the time of coronavirus, it being a contact disease and all that.

Well first things first.

You cannot pass coronavirus from vaginal or anal sex.

So what to do?

If you or your partner or yourself have symptoms, best not to do it.

If you live together and show no symptoms then it is fine to have sex as normal

If you have sex with someone you don’t live with there are a few things you can do to lower the risk of getting or spreading COVID-19.

  • Avoid kissing or exchanging saliva with anyone outside of your household.
  • Avoid sexual activities which include licking around the anus.
  • Use condoms or dental dams to reduce contact with saliva or poo.
  • Take a shower and wash your hands and body thoroughly with soap and water both before and after sex.
  • If you use sex toys, wash these thoroughly with soap and water and do not share them.
  • Consider sexual arousal techniques that don’t involve physical contact – like talking.
  • Mutual masturbation while physical distancing.
  • Limit your physical interactions by reducing the number of sexual partners you have overall, and/or at the same time.

Whatever you do, be careful and #DodgeTheRona
