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)

@PasserbyEffect

Would it become legal if one of the partners paid for the "service"?

At least one QC seems to think it wouldn't breach the new lockdown regs! I guess it would hinge on what's considered reasonably necessary for work purposes. They'd also have to make sure they were complying with the other laws on selling and paying for sex too, of course.

Fuck that shit. How far is this going to go? We might as well give all of our human rights over now. I will have sex with whoever I like, when I like and wherever I like. The government can fuck off with its attempt to control every part of our lives. Yes there's a virus out there we know this but ffs how much longer are we all going to just take this?

It's not about the virus anymore they are seeing how much they can control us, how long it takes until our MH suffers, dividing us... conquer and divide.

Fucking government and their stupid fucking rules I've had enough can you tell?

Smilethoyourheartisbreaking Sorry but which part exactly is rubbish in your opinion? And if I deserve a medal so do millions and millions of other people who have followed the guidance exactly to protect people like YOU who clearly are not otherwise you would not come along talking rubbish.

The fact that they are old(er) or they keep their distance in the supermarket? That's laughable.

They will possibly have Covid and not know it.
They are going out to shops, handling produce and so on.
They could be carriers.

I am 100% sure I do not have Covid today. I cannot however use that as an excuse for staying overnight with family nor having family into my house.

If everyone did as you imply- that we all make it up according to our own circumstances, regardless, where would that leave us?

You come along and use sarcasm against someone who does as they as supposed to be doing?

Unbelievable.

@JinglingHellsBells woah rein it in! I think she brought up retired because it means she's not mixing at work and who are you to say what she can and can't do

@Smilethoyourheartisbreaking For you, above.

@ElectricTonight

Have you read the amendments to the SI or the posts on this thread? This isn’t a new restriction - it’s actually part of significant relaxing of restrictions.

@StewPots
Please go see your boyfriend and do whatever you need to do.

@BlackberryCane I'm finding it increasingly disturbing (but not surprising) that tax-generating, PNB-boosting activities are prioritised over normal, basic human interactions, when it comes to easing lockdown.

It's not about the virus anymore

Yes, it is, it hasn't just magically gone away!
If you want to get mad at someone, do it at the papers sensationalising and shit stirring as usual - I mean it's not bloody rocket science to say you can't bonk others who don't live with you seeing how do you social distance there, then?
They're taking the bleedin obvious and making an issue out of it to shit stir and click bait,

Suits me, my neighbour is planning a visit from her long distance boyfriend.
She's got two kids, and is putting them all at risk for a Shag.
I'll be curtain twitching.
I've got a relative seriously ill far away and I'm not allowed to spend quality time with them.

@bigchris Lots of people are not out at work. Have you missed that?

It' s not up to me, is it? it's the law and the government.

Don't go shooting the messenger.

Why do people think it's ok to come and boast they are breaking lockdown when others are doing their hardest to comply?

God what a funny world it is when you get slated for doing the right thing.

How are you 100% sure ? Don't you shop or go out ?

You can meet 6 people in the garden, if the garden is only accessible through the house you can walk through the house, you can use the loo, you can share the same plates and cutlery , the rules have changed , the government changes them at a whim , they changed to shielding rules overnight despite not getting to where they said was needed to be

If you want to follow their rules until a vaccine comes in that's up to you but for others the so called rules are impossible

Media being ludicrous again about time government actually held them to account
Technically we haven't been allowed in others houses since the start but now re lows in gardens so think new low just clarifying this , but who will police it god only knows
But the emphasis is more about rules being changed to low 6 in garden does big men the house , Technically we've had a relaxation of rules

Suits me, my neighbour is planning a visit from her long distance boyfriend.
She's got two kids, and is putting them all at risk for a Shag

Woah what's with the slut shaming language

Maybe she just wants a hug for her mental health?

@Stewpots there are exemptions to This rule for various reasons though so you may fall in to this catergory, but do what you need to do , I have done for my mental health .
It's a shame the media don't explain this clearer

God what a funny world it is when you get slated for doing the right thing

Depends if you blindly follow what the current government says , we can make our own minds up and assess the risks which is clearly what the poster you attacked is doing

Ok lol.
We'd all like a hug for our mental health.
We're all meant to be social distancing.
Loads of people would love to have their partners stay over.
I'd certainly not risk anything for the health of my kids.

I get that.

Well those without any human contact since mid March are getting quite desperate now.
You have a family.
Have some bloody empathy

Primark is open?
OP?

I'm in the same position as her.
She's breaking the rules.
It's the staying overnight business.

Oh don't be ridiculous, if people live with a partner, same household then they can have physical contact.

The rules haven't changed about households mixing. That's the point.
