Sex can be affected in this phase of quarantine for Brazilians. Social isolation can prevent many from practicing the act. However, some look to the creative side to compensate for their cravings.
In our survey carried out by Instagram on March 24, we found out of 1297 people, only 24% of Brazilians have had sex in quarantine, while 56% are looking for pornography.
We realized that to avoid human contact, even more so that we are afraid of the virus, many found in masturbation the relief of their desires. In addition, it has been proven that the act is good for health, of course, without excess. But, what about sex? Are we released?
The recommendation of the Ministry of Health points out that we should keep at least two meters away from people. Therefore, arms, kisses and needs, and sex temporarily need to be avoided. For Brazilians this is something so heavy, as we are such a receptive and warm people.
Urologist and sexologist Danilo Galante points out that there is still no study that proves that we can be contaminated by sexual intercourse, but the risk could still occur with the exchange of deficiencies by saliva droplets.
What about health professionals?
Health professionals are directly connected with infected people. Sex for them could cause a greater spread, but in addition they must stay separate from other people, and not even share personal objects. Totally secluded in that period.
As we mentioned in our article about the decrease in the sharing of nudes during this period, people are avoiding creating bonds that cannot be lived in person with the distance restriction.
Quarantine and sex with your partner
However, all is not lost sexually. If the couple is isolated alone and they stay in the same house, the doctor integrates that if there are no symptoms, the two can have sex.
“If the two people are in quarantine and if they do not have any symptoms, the WHO understands that there are no risks in sexual practice. In fact, this might be a good time to get closer and have more contact with your partner or even reinvent yourself and enjoy the time together to rediscover yourself. If healthy, the couple can indulge in sexual fantasies, toys, and games.”, says Gallante.
digital dating
It seems that in this period, digital dating has reached other proportions, people are downloading dating apps. The sexologist recommends that we prioritize contact on social networks, while for singles, the best alternative is to find opportunities to enhance discoveries in these applications.
