Has everyone really stopped having sex?

[notevenat20]

It’s early and I am stressed so what better than to worry about other peoples sex life.

Have all the single (or maybe not single) women here really just not had sex with anyone new in 2020? Have teenagers really stopped shagging? It just seems inhuman if true.

I should imagine they would find some loopholes. Excuse the pun.

Thanks for checking on me

Obviously lockdown 1 no sex then they let us free so I had several months of all the sex.

Then since second lockdown no sex

Hoping for it to return at Easter!

No sex since last Feb.

I made the decision to give up sex 4 years ago but that was nothing to do with coronavirus.

No sex since lockdown one

But even in tier 2 you can’t go into a date’s place. Obviously if you are under 21 that won’t stop you but for everyone else?

Single. Bubbled with "friend"

@sittingonacornflake

How did you manage it unless you were in tier 1?

If we live alone we can bubble up with one person

People are capable of controlling themselves, it's not that shocking surely?

Possibly in the first lockdown, but a lot of living apart couples moved in together temporarily. Since bubbles have been allowed, I imagine most single people would be able to form a bubble with a partner. There's probably fewer new relationships starting, but those already in relationships will still be 'active'.

By which I mean, it's no more shocking to have gone without sex than it is to have gone without touching anyone else, or hugging anyone else, for almost a year now. Living without all of those things are unnatural to humans, sex is no different.

@Pinkpercy. Ahhh...for some reason I am now thinking of people who love to pop bubble wrap :)

I find it shocking. Sex and eating are fundamental to life.

It’s a good point about bubbles. I notice your name is implying something in that context :)

I guess you can bubble for as short or long time as you like with a new date. Amusingly this does mean that monogamy is now the only legal form of sex life.

The answer will be in the annual financial results of Tinder, Bumble et al announced in the coming months. 😉

Sex isn't fundamental to the individual life...you can live without it.

Yes. No sex for a year now. Bad times.

Left my ex during lockdown one.

Started dating/having casual sex pretty much immediately, about 25 sexual partners between July and November.

I had an antibodies test through work quite early on in the pandemic though so knew I had antibodies, although if I'm honest I don't know if that would have changed my behaviour if I had not.

Been dating the same guy now since November and we have bubbled, even though technically breaking the rules still because he is not the person I bubbled with back in September.

Hmm...in terms of economic indicators, what do we only buy when we have a new date?

That’s ok isn’t it? I thought it was only overlapping that was banned.

You are now allowed to change your bubble if you abstain for 10 days between - it’s on the gov.uk website.

What is sex? I've forgotten.

Nobody’s gonna die from lack of sex. I assume most people have hands, sort yourself out.

So its actually all these frivolous singletons that are really spreading the virus not the kids! Get the bloody schools opened and put a ban on condoms problem sorted

FYI that is a joke BTW before the MN police pile on i know humour isn't practiced much on here
