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)

@Mascotte

I don't think that's relevant because this is a policy that has to work for millions not individuals. If we all came up with policies that suited our own personal urges where would be?

Gestapo. This is where we are heading.

Haha! The lockdown police like @Floatyboat always reply with "I don't see how that's relevant"
The answer is yes. They almost always do have live in partners.
Do as I say! I'm alright Jack!

@mrmee

I'm not particularly pro lockdown. I just find it reprehensible when people only get indignant about their narrow self interests. All these people complaining they can't have a comfy shag for a couple of months saying nothing about people not being able to hug their live apart family or friends. At least have the courage to argue against all restrictions on liberty not just the ones that inconvenience you the most.

It's not about sex.
HTH

Comfy cuddle then? Honestly, tell me. Whats so important about indoors? I'm really at a loss what can't be done outside?

@Floatyboat I hope you're having nice time.

I'm off to reflect on my selfishness 😃

Or engage in the discussion. You make a lot of posts that don't say much. Up to you.

I don't get the uproar, we are all supposed to be limiting our contact with those outside our household.

If you really miss your partner/sex that much combine housholds and live together.

Yes its limiting our freedom in many ways but we're in a global pandemic. Tinder/dating/ sexual needs are not the top priority surely.

And besides, people will always put their interests first. It's also part of human nature.
People that have won the right to have protection enshrined in law for example.
A particular group fights for something that is important to them, they get what they needed, other groups do ok out of it too and then it gives others the courage to fight their corner.
A broad "release it for everyone" won't work. People in groups are inherently stupid and people that want to stay shielded will most likely suffer.
The lonely but not shielded were desperate for a change that meant visiting one household. Just one. I can easily do this for years if needs be, if I can just enter one other house.
The fact that people are going to be allowed to go and rake through cheap sweatshop tat inches away from each other at fucking Primark before I can see the one person that makes me happy in private really really makes me angry.

And yes. Last night I wrote to my MP about it.

Once again, it's not about sex.

people will always put their interests first. It's also part of human nature.

Thank you for being honest.

I find your comparison of not having sex for a few months to historical civil rights battles offensive.

Where did I mention civil rights?

Offence is taken not given dear

I agree @Overrunwithlego with your post. The effect that you can’t have anyone in your home may be the same as before but the legal basis is now different. I think a law that criminalises people consensually going into other people’s houses is an absolute outrage. To the people who think this is OK - wake up for gods sake. It’s not about “Karen getting her fanny seeing to” or “the rules apply to everyone” but this is a gross infringement and in my view a completely disproportionate response to the threat of the virus.

You can see how totalitarian regimes get to take hold when people are so blind to things like this and just willingly give up their freedoms. For the sake of a virus that is hardly that lethal and that the government are only forced to give 2 shits about due to the exponential growth.

But do continue to see this fundamental removal of the rights and freedoms we have held for hundreds of years as someone just moaning as they are gagging for a shag.

And as I've stated repeatedly.
It's not about sex.
You're just being goady now

@Francesthemute

And I've asked what it is about? What is it that people want to do inside ?

Liberty has been infringed in many ways this lockdown.

Isn't shelter a basic right?
Weather looks crap next week

I, for one, mostly end up wanting to sit on his lap and be held while I cry. And I would prefer to do that without an audience. Hth.

@frances
Those things aren't unique to romantic relationships and can all be done outside and or via zoom.

Wow. You compare romantic relationships to zoom calls?
I'm not sure you quite get relationships.

If you break the sink and call for a blummer. Can you have sex with the blummer? Asking for a friend.

Literally nothing has changed for couples who don't live together 🤷‍♀️
People could just stop complaining and "follow their instincts" like Dominic cummings.
If you and your partner want to have sex just do it 🙄, the worst that could happen is nosy neighbours reporting you for breaching lockdown rules.
