Canadian CDC: Try Glory Holes For Safer COVID Sex

From the British Columbia Center for Disease Control:



Sex can be very important for mental, social and physical well-being; it is a part of everyday life.

People can, will and should continue to have sex during the COVID-19 pandemic. Messages that discourage or shame people from sexual contact can be harmful and may discourage people from seeking essential sexual health services.

You are your safest sex partner. Masturbating by yourself (solo sex) will not spread COVID-19. If you masturbate with a partner(s), physical distancing will lower your chance of getting COVID-19.

Here are some ways to lower the risk of being exposed to COVID-19 during sex with others: Wear a face covering or mask. Heavy breathing during sex can create more droplets that may transmit COVID-19. Avoid or limit kissing and saliva exchange.

Choose sexual positions that limit face-to-face contact. Use barriers, like walls (e.g., glory holes), that allow for sexual contact but prevent close face-to-face contact.
