UK Scientists Recommend Couples Should Wear Masks While Having Sex

Some more entertaining advice coming from UK Scientists this week in regards to coronavirus.

Harvard University scientists have warned of the dangers in spreading the virus through sexual intercourse and thus are recommending if you really cannot avoid sex altogether, then you should wear a mask.

The Mirror reports[1]:

…a new study has warned that having sex could spread coronavirus, and has advised that couples take preventative steps in the bedroom.

This includes avoiding kissing, showering before and after sex, and even wearing masks while having sex.[1]

In the study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine[2], the researchers, led by Dr Jack Turban, wrote:

For some patients, complete abstinence from in-person sexual activity is not an achievable goal.

In these situations, having sex with persons with whom they are self-quarantining is the safest approach.

Those unable to take this approach may benefit from risk reduction counseling, which has proven effective in other realms of sexual health.

and, just to make the whole event even more passionate they added:

“Kissing should also be avoided as it is also known that it can spread through the mouth.”

I’m really not sure what there is to say about this, so we’ll leave it at that.

Grab your masks and have some fun!
