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)

@Sueannnnna The quote a pp quoted was me responding to a question of my sexual activity.

This whole thread is about sex.

You created a thread moaning that sex is now illegal. This has been the case for 11 weeks. With all that's going on, I have to say I'm more worried about death rolls, children separated from parents and loved ones than Karen having her fanny seeing to.

@PatricksRum
It's been stated repeatedly it's not about sex.
Why are you clinging to that?

@PatricksRum

There's no circumstances to understand. Many people are in horrible circumstances. Women are locked up from their abusers. Family members passing away alone. The rules are for everyone.

Apart from the abuse sentence none of that refers to the question of sex.

@PatricksRum well if youre that worried I also hope youre not going to non-essential shops, packed beaches, eating takeaways a stranger has made

*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?*

No.

It has been awful for me too and my 2 year old. I haven't seen a human being (aside from paramedics) in circa 3-4 months. It's hard for everyone.

And no Karen does not just want her 'fanny' seen to. How awful you are @PatricksRum
!!

Doesn't take away the fact everyone else is doing as they please whilst I stick to the rules at the cost of my own mental health and that of my DP.

This is why fewer and fewer people are even bothering now because it feels like nobody else is. May as well just get back to normal and be done with it. Even mass gatherings are happening now anyway.

@StewPots Sorry to hear about your DF and I hope the complications can ease slightly and visitation rules so you can see him.

Not everyone is abolishing the rules but I do understand how bloody annoying it is to see people not give two fucks whilst you're going against everything you know and remaining strong whilst suffering. Horrible situation. Horrible virus.

@PatricksRum
It's been stated repeatedly it's not about sex.
Why are you clinging to that?

The thread is about sex. That's literally the whole point.
The OP is reading the dramatised press outlets and ignoring that this has been the case for 11 weeks.

You don't know "Karen's" circumstances.
Maybe Karen is feeling depressed, about to lose her job and needs her partner's comfort.

Maybe Karen has just lost a family member and needs to spend time with her partner.

Maybe Karen lives on her own in a flat and has finally reached breaking point and needs to see her partner for her own sanity.

Yes Karen might have sex with her partner but sex can be such a comforter and loving feeling between people, not just a 'Karen wants her fanny been seen to'

@PatricksRum if you read most of the thread it is more about non-cohabitating partners.
You've read the title and first bit of my thread and dramatised it as you say I have done with newspapers

@PatricksRum well if youre that worried I also hope youre not going to non-essential shops, packed beaches, eating takeaways a stranger has made

I am worried, yes.
I'll reiterate again... I have not left my home in 3-4 months

There's a hell of a lot of people on mumsnet that really resent sex isn't there?

@PatricksRum well i'm sorry we're not all as perfect as you and I hope Boris personally sends you a medal

Absolutely which is why one considers circumstance rather than it being a puerile race to the bottom.

You are free to consider as you like.
The rules, however, don't. The rules are for everyone.

Boris said himself to 'follow our instincts' so the "rules" actually are more like.a guidance

*You don't know "Karen's" circumstances.
Maybe Karen is feeling depressed, about to lose her job and needs her partner's comfort.

Maybe Karen has just lost a family member and needs to spend time with her partner.

Maybe Karen lives on her own in a flat and has finally reached breaking point and needs to see her partner for her own sanity.

Yes Karen might have sex with her partner but sex can be such a comforter and loving feeling between people, not just a 'Karen wants her fanny been seen to'*

Poor Karen.
Karen can see family and friends outside. Individual circumstances have no bearing on the law.

@StewPots you'll always have nosey "do-right" people. Please see your boyfriend for both of your sanities.
Your mental health is so much more important than what a nosey neighbour thinks

Does Alexa know when you have sex?

I once had a girlfriend called Alexia, I sometimes wonder how she's getting on in todays connected world!

if you read most of the thread it is more about non-cohabitating partners.

About the rules regarding non-cohabitating partners and sexual activity?

@PatricksRum
Yes they do. Boris himself said to follow your instincts.
Karen's instincts are telling her she needs to see her boyfriend not sitting 2m apart
