Safe sex during the coronavirus pandemic might soon require protection beyond just the nether regions.
A new study from Harvard University says that hooking up carries some risk for transmitting COVID-19 from one partner to the other and recommends wearing a face mask.
The research ranked frisky situations based on how likely it is to catch coronavirus while in the act. Researchers recommend wearing a mask for the riskiest sexual scenario: Sex with people other than those with whom one is quarantined.
...you should avoid kissing, any oral-to-anal act and anything else that involves semen or urine. Shower before and after, and clean the space with alcohol wipes or soap.
Even if that person is ultimately an asymptomatic carrier, they can still infect the other.
Abstinence, they say, is “low risk for infection, though not feasible for many.” Another option, they add, is masturbation.
the Oregon Health Authority released a sex guide that went viral, just weeks after the same happened to one released by the NYC Department of Health. The Oregon example stood out for its illustrations of condoms, a fleshlight and a peach, and NYC’s with its vivid warning for anal rimming.

They’re really talking about strangers. “Strangers should wear face masks during sex.”
_____________________________
Maybe they should not have sex with strangers.
That idea doesn’t get much traction at Harvard.
Good grief the stupidity never ends...
Did not have a lot of traction anywhere. It is a slippery slope we have been on for the past few decades.
I noticed.
Look at all of the ills that todays society is suffering from due in large part to unfettered sex.
Unwed mothers living in extreme poverty (#1 cause of poverty)
venereal disease(s). N gonorrhea Not responding to any antibiotics
Abortions by the millions
Social, mental, emotional disorders
Etc.
And I was a player until I began to realize just how harmful ‘free love’ really was.
The response from many to your story would be that you got to have all your “fun,” but you don’t want others to enjoy themselves. My reply to that is, if this is so much fun, why are young people so unhappy?
Your right. I had my fun during the ‘safe period’ before aids, etc.
But even then there was a sense of sadness with all the casual sex. each person has their own level of bonding or ‘love’ resulting from the sexual encounter. Since there was no time to actually get to know, appreciate, respect, etc the other person and vise versa and it was over leaving each with a different sense of hollowness and regret.
It did not really slow me down much as bodily needs resurface after a few hours. But it did tell me that if they are lying about free love, drugs, no commitment then what else were they lying about. As a result of this inquiry I become a conservative. Never been happier
Very interesting analysis. Thank you for taking the time to reply!
On their faces, right?
What might that be?
