Whether for him tiredness from coping with compulsory isolation imposed by the national government or by the desire to meet “materially” with another person, the couples decided to break the quarantine for have sex again and the numbers thrown in a poll indicate that almost 50 percent of respondents, applied the measure for its “animal instincts”.
To find out what could have caused this increase in sexual encounters, Chronicle dialogued with Mauricio Strugo (psychologist and sexologist specializing in ties, MN 41,436), who argued that “In principle, a lot goes through a certain amount of quarantine of 15, 20 or 40 days and a very different one is more than 100, knowing that the human being is a gregarious animal, that is, needs the link to build, to be able to live and being isolated, especially for people who had to be alone, the recommendation in the beginning was try to avoid having sexual encounters and that everything will happen through virtuality, today, at some point it is being difficult to be sustained, the recommendation given the wave of contagions and the number of people infected, is to try to maintain isolation, but those people who were separated by quarantine are looking, managing it because that is also the reason for the increase of people circulating in the streets, among other things, to be seen“.
The psychologist added on this item, that “sexuality is everything, including masturbation or virtual sex, but there comes a point where people want to share the corporality, they want an encounter with the other, because they miss each other, because this situation of being at a distance costs them, many couples who are in this situation, even end, why distance is difficult to maintain and virtuality does not work, if they had just started and they were with all the expectation of meeting and continuing to see each other. “
Chances of catching
Another point to keep in mind is the possibility of contagion that there is in a casual meeting between people, especially if they do not live together: “We are in a situation wheree we are not completely sure how people are contagious. It is known to be through the transmission of saliva, but there are different studies that say that in the exchange of sexual fluids there can also be a risk of contagion, then we must take care of ourselves, take extreme care regarding hygiene, and also regarding preventive measures. Remember that the condom is indicated as a method of care for infectious diseases and to prevent pregnancy, and the truth is that as a result of passion, excitement of the moment, after time that a person does not see himself, having generated a sexuality in the cybernetic sense, people when they meet that intensity can make a mistake, not take care of yourself, and not only infect people with coronavirus, but other sexually transmitted diseases or degenerate a pregnancy, then we must take measures for this and sexuality in times of coronavirus is rare, because maybe you do not have to kiss for the exchange of saliva, and maybe there are sexual positions that perhaps are not the most convenient. For example, use the so-called latex field, which is generated with a condom “Strugo said.
People without endurance
The psychologist added that “There are many situations that make sexuality particularas well and all the people for the need to have a sexual encounter or the desire to meet, sometimes prefers the opposite of what is recommended and with criminal consequences, to cross this barrier and exchange houses. I have patients who tell me about these situations, where they take turns from one house to the other, or go to live in the house of people they were meeting, and they risk the situation. “
Asked about how sexuality can be in the future, the professional (@mauriciostrugo) argued that “like all the evolution of the human being makes our whole being evolve. We are never the same, especially when situations that do or do make us change, perhaps in some matters sexuality remains the same in the basics, and surely in all these things that are happening, sexuality will also adapt, because that is the human being and it is the condition to continue surviving“.
Strugo concluded by saying that “I do not dare to predict where the sexuality will go, but I hope it has to do with enjoying pleasure and meeting, but with a little more awareness of the choice of when and how we want to give ourselves to sexuality. Maybe what changes a little is casual sex, perhaps for a time, because this risk is going to be, as at the time with the appearance of HIV, in the first years people were shocked and began to take more care and casual encounters will have decreased. After people understood that with the use of condoms and care, there was less risk of contagion“.
The truth is that beyond the Coronavirus pandemic and the risks involved in going outside, people “returned to normal”, that of meeting the other and spending an intimate and pleasant moment, despite everything, even exposing himself to a legal case or putting his health in check.
You have to know how to take care of yourself, to take care of the other
In times where the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc across the planet, it is very important take into account the types of protection that exist to avoid not only the spread of this deadly virus, but other sexually transmitted diseases. Dr. Strugo is very clear in his concepts when explaining that “What happens is that the condom itself is a method of prevention for men and obviously to use with anyone, because their partner can be a woman or another man. The latex field is a prevention method that can be applied to women or that can be applied to the anus or vagina, for more specific practices “.
“For anal sex you should use a condom, but for what is called Cunilingus, the ideal would be to practice it with this latex field, which It is a condom that opens and generates a cloth or latex that is used for this type of practice that not everyone practices. They are preventive methods of sexually transmitted diseases that are used, it is not that this arose for now from the coronavirus, but it is a method that women usually use to avoid sexually transmitted diseases when sexual intercourse is not necessarily with a man ” , added.
