Love, Lockdowns, and Lubrication: Covid‑Safe V‑Day Tips
It’s 2021, and “safety first” has slipped well beyond the gym to the bedroom. Think of it as the new trend: Covid‑Safe Sex for Valentine’s Day.
The Health Department Says
New York City’s Health Department dropped a two‑page memo on how to keep love (and the virus) at bay. Their key message? Select your partner wisely and keep the “who’s who” to a minimum.
Our Play‑by‑Play Guide
- One Companion, One Story. Treat your partner like a VIP guest: you only invite one, so you can track who’s been where if somebody turns up sick. Think of it as a limited‑edition romance.
- Creative Angles & Physical Barriers. The memo recommends avoiding face‑to‑face positions to dodge those risky saliva droplets. How to do it? Be inventive—use pillows, blankets, or, if you’re feeling adventurous, a curtain. Just be sure your living room wall stays intact; drilling holes is a no‑no in the neighborhood.
- No Kissing, No Chatter. “Avoid kissing,” the memo states, and we hear that, especially on crowded public transport or near the dining area. The goal: less face‑to‑face contact and fewer chances for that awkward “hey, you have a fever!” conversation at the bus stop.
Remember, the goal isn’t to kill the romance—just keep the spirits (and the temperature) in check. Happy February 14th, and stay safe, lovebirds!
Safe Sex 101: 5 Fun‑and‑Safe Tips You’ll Actually Remember
1. Keep it Guarded – Literally.™
Double up on protection: condom plus mask. It’s the new “halo lockdown” for your bedroom. No excuses—if you’re shy about extra safety, think of it as your personal “double‑layer” style!
2. Clean as a Prankster’s Crown
- Wash your hands before and after any intimate moment. Soap = superhero.
- Take a shower afterward—unless you’re still in the “can’t touch, can’t see” phase like the kid stuck in a glassware aisle; way to keep the germs at bay.
3. Bad Feeling? Skip the Play.
If you’re under the weather, best to hit pause. Patient mode means just heading to a GP’s clinic—no bedroom drama needed.
4. SHN Hotel, No Sneak‑Mode!
Just back from Singapore’s Stay Home Notice and staying in a hotel? Don’t juggle sneaky tactics like that one clueless fiancée who tried to sneak her fiancé into her room at midnight. He got busted—don’t make the same pitfall.
5. Give Video Chat a Minute, or Go Old‑School.
Instead of slinging all the sexting instead? If consenting, a sweet video call can do wonders. Or, for drama lovers, try the good‑old‑fashioned snail‑mail love letters—and don’t forget to include a little mystery: maybe a handcrafted pair of undies (suitably packaged, of course).
