No kissing, wear mask during sex Canada's chief medical officer suggests

Canada’s top doc offered advice on sexual activity during these times of COVID-19.

Dr. Theresa Tam, the nation’s chief public health officer, said it’s best to stop kissing and suggests people wear a mask to stop the spread of coronavirus with new partners.

“Sexual health is an important part of our overall health,” Tam said in a statement. “However, sex can be complicated in the time of COVID-19, especially for those without an intimate partner in their household or whose sexual partner is at higher risk for COVID-19.”

Tam said you can reduce your risk of getting coronavirus by:

Monitoring yourself for symptoms of COVID-19 and not having sex if you or your partner is experiencing symptoms

Skipping kissing and avoiding face-to-face contact or closeness; consider using a mask that covers the nose and mouth

Engaging in safer sex practices, including using condoms

Following other pandemic health guidelines

How about being in relationship with anyone? Not everyone who has sex is a sex worker.

69 seems like it might not be a bad idea, then, but not if COVID-19 can be transmitted from the genitals.

I wonder if Bucky has ever heard about what the internet is for.
