Sex and Self Quarantine
Tori Douglas on Jul 7th 2020
Due to the widespread precautions being taken for protection against the spread of COVID-19, many of you are self isolating. This is a trying time for all of us, so let's make the most of our time! Sex, whether alone, with your partner or partners within your household, or over the internet is still an option in these days of social distancing.
In any circumstances, you are the safest sexual partner you can have. That is especially true during this time of self quarantine and self isolation. As we have discussed in previous blogs, sex, even solo sex, is good for your health. The boost to your immune system from the waves of serotonin and other hormones released by orgasm is worth it by itself. On top of this chemical cocktail of well being, masturbation is good for your mental state. Little treats to yourself like self love, are important in this time to keep positive while you might be going stir crazy in your home. Use the copious amount of time you currently have on your hands to do a little self exploration. There are many toys, arousal gels and stimulants available at baddkitty.net to help you make the very most out of these experiences.
Even though you might be socially isolated for the health of yourself and your community at large, there are ways to reach out. There are, as always, dating sites and apps. Although it is not wise to meet up physically with anyone outside of your household during this time of pandemic, these sites and apps can provide a social outlet. If this friendship develops into more, there are more ways than ever to connect over the internet or through your phone. Calls are always an option, of course, but there are a multitude of text, voice, and video applications to help you connect with your new flame. Never underestimate the power of sexting or a racy Skype or Facetime session. Many of the top toy manufacturers like WoWTech, also make a variety of app enabled toys to make long distance sex possible in real time.You could also try going very old school and write letters, although email delivery is probably the safest delivery method over snail mail.
If you are lucky enough to be isolated with a partner, you have quite a few more options for sex as therapy. Putting a focus on your partner during isolation can help your overall attitude in this difficult situation. If you are not leaving the house, you may be neglecting your hygiene and physical appearance. Getting cleaned up, dressed, and putting on makeup,if you use it, will not only make you more attractive to your partner or partners, but can bring a sense of normalcy to your own mind. This is above and beyond the mental boost of the actual sex. Take this stretch of time together to explore your sexually adventurous side. Try new positions or explore new kinks or fetishes you or your partner might have always had an interest in.
In this time of self isolation and social distancing, we still can cultivate our sexual life. Making time and space for sex can help us, mentally and physically, get through this pandemic.
