Safe sex in the world of
COVID-19. We desire it, we're told not to interact with others, we're confused.
Sex is part of our everyday lives, but right now we need to keep safe. Physical
intimacy can increase the risk of infection, as can touching surfaces and
objects, and then touching our mouth or face. The coronavirus can be present in
the mouth, hence kissing should be avoided. So what can we do to decrease these
risks?
Here are some observations
and recommendations from experts around the world:
Masturbation – knock yourself
out with frequency and enthusiasm. It's currently the world's number one male
exercise regime and it's a totally safe practice when done from your home
without the aid of strangers. Look at some porn and let the jacking-off begin
(as if you haven't already been wildly indulging yourself for weeks and months
now). Add a sex toy or two for variety – but keep up the cleansing of them
after every playtime.
Online virtual sex – how fantastic
is Zoom, Skype, KIK, and all of the other live-streaming apps that we can use
to watch and share our masturbation activities with new friends the world over.
Totally safe sex. And don't forget that our biggest sex organ is our
imagination, so add lots of erotic writing to that streaming scenario. More
opportunities here for those toys too.
Glory Holes – who would ever
have suspected that these would be viewed as a recommended safe sex facility
during a pandemic. And the reason for the recommendation - it eliminates
face-to-face contact.
Regular Partners – if they
are within your home, keep up the regular sex you have been having. If they are
regular fuck buddies who live externally to your home, it's your decision as to
whether to keep playing with them or not. The experts seem to agree that with
regular partners who consciously communicate with one another about their
activities and their health, are in a low-risk situation. It's important to
share health information if anything changes or if one of you visits a
sex-on-premises establishment or one of you has anonymous sex with a stranger. Re-evaluate
the situation every time before leaping into bed with your FB.
Abstinence from anonymous casual
sexual partners – at the best of normal times we can't be sure of the
background of any of our casual or anonymous sexual partners, so in this time
of pandemic activity, we must assume that anyone you don't know the lifestyle
or the current sexual history of is a potential carrier, a potential threat.
This is a personal judgment you need to make for your own safety and ongoing
health. Perhaps judge the potential risk of the virus devastation on your body against
the short-term urge that is pressuring you in the balls. We can't always have
what we want at the time we tell ourselves we need it. Patience and a
preventative “no – I'm abstaining for the moment,“ will allow us to safely play
with whoever we want once a vaccine arrives. And that's on the horizon.
Sex-on-Premises locations – First
thing, don't go if you have any symptoms of the virus (see below). Think of
your fellow gay and bi men and their health. We need to support one another if
we are ever going to get back to our beloved 'normal' sex lives.
Then ask about what plans
they have in place for your safety. All bathhouses/saunas should have a
COVID-19 plan in place that states both your and their obligations to keep
everyone as safe as possible. These plans could include compulsory wearing of
masks, the venue supplying multiple dispensers of soap and hand sanitizers, patrons
complying with local social distancing laws (especially when in chill-out or
cinema areas) and, the venue undertaking regular deep cleaning all the public
parts of the facility. Magazines and printed material will be absent and
contactless payments in place of cash will be normal. Should there be an
outbreak of the virus involving the facility, your name, address and contact
number that you will compulsorily have given at check-in will be used for
tracing and tracking. Shower frequently both before and after sex. Reduce the
number of sexual partners and avoid extended kissing – saliva exchange is not a
good thing. Avoid group sex with strangers – better to have sex with trusted men
known to you. Rimming is as yet unproven as to whether the virus can remain
active in stools, so best to avoid this activity for now. With amyl or poppers,
only use your own bottle – don't share – and be aware of the possible effect on
your respiratory system and how that could affect any virus recovery on your
body.
Get tested – if you have any
of these symptoms then get tested immediately, return to home without going
anywhere else, wait at home until your results are confirmed. Do not share
intimacy with others during this period (usually 24 – 72 hours). Classic
symptoms include “sore
throat, fever, cough, shortness of breath, runny or blocked nose, headache,
loss of smell or taste, diarrhoea, muscle aches and pains“. It's really
important that you self-isolate until your results are known. This greatly reduces
the chances of infecting others.
Stay Optimistic
– this strange time will pass:
As one
authority states “Obviously, this is
not the first time our community has faced a health issue that has impacted our
sexual pleasure and wellbeing. We are incredibly good at adopting effective
health strategies - and that will be true of COVID-19. Let’s look out for
ourselves and each other in a difficult time."
