State-enforced intimacy everyone!
Sex to pass the time
For anyone in a relationship, spending extended periods of time at home together, whether due to global disasters, holidays, bad weather, or simply taking a break from the usual hustle, means more quality time with your significant other, hopefully. This extra togetherness can lead to a mix of experiences, some good, some challenging - but one of the more enjoyable by-products is often sex. After all, if you're around each other more and looking for ways to break up the monotony, intimacy and sex is a fantastic way to connect and pass the time. Let’s face it, binge-watching shows can only do so much.
As we settle into this period of staying in, households across the country, whether families, flatmates, or couples - are finding creative ways to fill the hours indoors without the usual distractions of work, social outings, or travel.
For couples, one thing that often persists, or even increases, during these times is sex. If past experiences are any guide, being homebound often leads to more intimacy within relationships than usual.
Curious to see if this holds true, we asked around. And the consensus seems to be: absolutely, yes!
Most large global disasters in the past have led to mini "baby booms", with spikes in birth rates occurring nine months after major hurricanes, earthquakes and the likes. We suspect this results from not only the increased time that couples have to spend together when they are not going out to work, but also from the lack of access to usual family planning and health services as priorities during disasters are shifted elsewhere.
What is good to remember, if you are adding "sex" to your activity list during lockdown, is that it still needs to tick all the boxes it usually would – consensual and safe, both in terms of sexually-transmitted infection risk and also pregnancy, unless of course you are hoping to conceive and add to a baby boom!
