Safe Sex during COVID-19
This is more important than ever, please read.
Real talk during this pandemic.
The healthcare access is limited atm and you don’t want to spend an hour sitting in a medical centre next week waiting to see a doctor and then spend another hour or two waiting together with other possible corona cases to do a blood test. Please think twice!
If you are with someone who doesn’t want to use a condom they are putting both you and themselves in a risk and don’t really care about your health. I honestly believe you shouldn’t exchange body fluids and energy with someone who doesn’t care about you. I also believe that the health care system has enough work to do right now and labs are working 24/7. They don’t need extra people filling up the centres because they didn’t care about using a condom. It’s not just about you anymore.
I don’t encourage people during social distancing to do “hookups” or go home to random people on dates just because we can’t be outdoors but I also keep it real here and the dating scene is still in full swing. Tinder, bumble, hinge and other sites are having a massive engagement atm due to people being home, bored, alone and are scared of being in lockdown or quarantine alone. The fact that we can’t go to restaurants and other activities means that more people are going straight home to strangers on dates and one thing leads to another. I’m not against hookups or casual sex, if that’s your thing go for it but I invite you to take a minute before you engage sexually with a new person to feel into if this is what you really want right now… and think about how you will feel tomorrow.
If you have had unprotected sex go and get tested. In case you have got an STI you want to get that looked after ASAP. Call your GP and ask what’s the best and fastest way to get tested.
If you’re already in a fluid bonded, monogamous or exclusive connection you can obviously enjoy sex without a condom. Also if you are in a connection without a cock you can use dental dams.
Stay safe
