Couples should be wearing face masks during sex, expert says
A new low for media - trying to hold on to the narrative in any way they can.
The media is so desperate to keep people in constant fear. Even when there is great news coming from one of the epicenters of the COVID-19 pandemic, the media will still hold on to a narrative that is falling apart with each passing minute. In a report in the New York Post today, we found out that there were zero additional deaths between Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the city’s Health Department data. That sounds like progress.
Apparently, we still need the government to micromanage our lives, even as things get better. We still need to “flatten the curve” while feeling the curves of a sex partner. Team Apocalypse has changed its focus. No longer do we need to social distance; we now can be as close to others as we want, as long as it’s for a protest. If you are wearing a mask and are protesting for social justice, you don’t have to social distance - but you should still wear a mask. Wait, what happened to vigorous hand washing? Oh well.
Forget all of what the CDC said or didn’t say; they are confusing anyway. Let’s micromanage more of your life and make sex with someone you don’t already know illegal - because of the pandemic.
In the U.K., it is now illegal to have sex at home with a person from another household under a new coronavirus lockdown legislation rolled out by the British Government on Monday.
The amendment to the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) Bill states: “No person may participate in a gathering which takes place in a public or private place indoors, and consists of two or more persons. There is a gathering when two or more people are present together in the same place to engage in any form of social interaction with each other or to undertake any other activity with each other.”
Until recently, the person visiting another household was held responsible for the breach of measures, but now, both people involved are liable to be prosecuted under the new law.
How can the police enforce this? It appears that police can't burst into anyone’s bedroom and fine them for having sex. The UK police can arrest or fine those breaking the law, but they don't have the power to check inside your home.
The Prime Minister told The Mirror "The police will do as they have done since the beginning of the health regulations being in place. They will be exercising their common sense and engaging with the public and only issuing fixed penalty notices when they believe it’s the last resort.” "What they can do is enter homes where they suspect serious criminal activity is taking place under separate and existing laws.”
But wait, the policing of personal behavior gets more bizarre.
Researchers from Harvard University have warned sex could spread coronavirus.
After the UK government announced that having sex with someone you don’t live with is illegal, there’s been another blow to those who are feeling frisky in the summer heat.
A new study from researchers at Harvard University in the US has found that having sex could spread coronavirus, and recommends that couples take preventative measures in the bedroom - including wearing face masks.
These preventative measures also include showering before and after sex, avoiding kissing and ‘cleaning of the physical space with soap or alcohol wipes’.
The study saw Harvard scientists rank sexual scenarios on the basis of how likely it was that you would catch coronavirus while doing them. Those at the lower end of the scale included abstinence (not having sex at all) and masturbation, while sex with people from your own household and those from other households were determined to be ‘high risk’ activities.
What if you use a ball gag instead of a mask? Is too much saliva dripping all over the place?
