It is almost impossible to practice "social distancing" with the partner you share your home and bed with. Given that the danger of this pandemic comes from intimacy and contact with others, everyone is hesitant to ask, "does this risk even have to do with sex life"?
You should first know that so far there is no evidence that the coronavirus is sexually transmitted, but it is known that the human being is infected by splashes, surfaces that carry the virus, etc. So, since kisses are inseparable from the act, fear exists.
If you or your partner are suspected of COVID-19, it is clear that contacts should be as remote as possible. If you are positive, you should urgently isolate yourself and, of course, avoid any contact.
Of course, for people who show no symptoms and have had no contact with those affected, sex life will continue to be the same. If you are staying at home and following the rules, sex will even help you relieve the accumulated stress.
Sex with a new partner?
At the moment, what we all recommend is to stay home as much as possible and interact with each other only when needed. Even sex life during this period can suffer a significant decline, but there are ways to keep romance alive, such as virtual sex.
