Now illegal to have sex with partner you don't live with?

[Sueannnnna]

Lots of newspapers/online articles announcing this today.
Being in a private place with partner and having sex can lead to a £100 fine if i've read correctly.

The world is going cuckoo.
But who cares about seeing my boyfriend, at least I can go shopping in Primark and go sit on a packed train (sarcasm)

@PatricksRum more so the rules should be to allow loved ones to see each other.
You're using women being stuck with their abusers as an example for someone being selfish seeing their dp? Bit extreme.
Also, i think women (or men) being stuck with abusers, and people being forced away from loved ones who have died is more evidence for restrictions needing to be eased on human interaction!!

Ignoring rules for your own selfish desire and helping to spread a disease is shitty too. Hth

That has no bearing. Sex is not a need but a want.

Yes then.

@PatricksRum it does have bearing because if you are currently living with and having sex with your partner,
Then you have no idea what it's like for those partners who are forced not to

@PatricksRum also, it's not about sex.
That's been addressed.

And i dont get how people are comparing not seeing partners with not seeing family?
I don't have romantic cuddles and sex with my mum
Physical contact is needed in relationships and the argument that ldr relationships do it is irrelavant because most have an end date

Well you need to come within 2 meters of someone to have sex so I'm not sure what you are finding so surprising this far down the line?

more so the rules should be to allow loved ones to see each other.

You can see each other... Outside.

Interesting article regarding da

Patrick does have a point.

There's no circumstances to understand

Really? None? No circumstances whatsoever for anyone breaking the lock down rules?

I lost my mum 2 months ago and I have been visiting my dad everyday in his house and will continue to do so...I've even hugged him as he wept for the loss of the woman he was married to for 57 years.

No say there are "no circumstances to understand".

PatricksRum sex is great therapy if you're feeling a bit tense about stuff hth

We can't all just ignore social distancing to pack out the park and the beach, protest or shag. If we're all just going to do whatever now and sod the consequences then let's get back to normal to at least try and salvage the economy.

Otherwise, rules are there for a reason.

@PatricksRum oh yes i'm sure someone who's family member has just died gets great pleasure out of only getting comfort 2m apart in a garden or park

No= now

@PatricksRum it does have bearing because if you are currently living with and having sex with your partner,
Then you have no idea what it's like for those partners who are forced not to

I have no idea what these poor people feel like not having sex? Really? That's what you're taking out of this situation?

If you're really interested in my sex life then no I haven't seen nor had sex with a partner.

@Awwlookatmybabyspider and what point does patrick have?

I lost my mum 2 months ago and I have been visiting my dad everyday in his house and will continue to do so...I've even hugged him as he wept for the loss of the woman he was married to for 57 years. *

That's horrible but this is shout sex. My response was in regards to sex.

@PatricksRum i have no interest in your sex life but if youre interested in stopping other people have sex then surely yours is relevant too.

I'm not doing that...
That has been the rule for 11 weeks now, is it?

@PatricksRum it wasnt about sex because I said "people being abused and people who family members have died are more so the reasons restrictions should be eased"
And you responded saying
"People can see each other outside'

Have some empathy!

I also didn't make the rules. I'm not bojo. Apologies for confusion.

@PatricksRum yes but when KFC, clothes shops, schools, trains, unessential shops are all opening then yes, people should now be able to see their close loved ones.

I haven't broke lockdown rules. I haven't left my home in 3 months

And do you understand how that is easier for some people than others? Or are you totally unable to understand nuance?

PatricksRum

Do you live with your partner?

@PatricksRum never said you were Boris.
I'm saying you seem to be part of this lockdown police brigade that take the high almighty of 'i'm excellent at following lockdown rules'. Well good for you but I can make my own judgement about whether seeing my boyfriend is safe or not. We are probably more so safe than some cohabitating couples as we don't really go out apart from seeing each other.
