Relax lockdown rules for teens with gfs?

I am really anguished with lockdown rules wrt my two teenage dss (18 and 16). Both have been really good at complying with all the social distance stuff throughout - have seen friends once allowed and haven't been pushing for more even re their gfs. However, they're both getting really down with not being able to do what they want as they are still social-distancing with their gfs - they don't mind complying in every other way but they it's so hard for them re their gfs. DSS1 (18) has been an item with his gf for 2 years and she normally (pre-lockdown) stayed at ours every weekend. DSS2 (16) has been with his gf for 6 months and they have never spent the night together but I'm sure got to at least a couple of bases! They're not pestering us to be allowed more but they're both understandably frustrated and upset with how long this has gone on - the eldest is showing signs of slipping into depression over it and I'm really worried about him.
There are so many people breaking lockdown rules but we've been very good up til now. Even I'm tempted though to let them have what they want given the way so many people out there are behaving. I'd love to know whether any of you have relaxed the rules for sad teens re social distancing (basically allowing them to shag!) a gf/bf...?
