Navigating COVID While Young, Gay, and Horny

Guidance during these COVID times asks us to stick to regular sexual partners, or to not have sex with others. Sexual abstinence isn’t possible or sustainable for everyone. These tips by Prepster and illustrated by Jospeh Kai help you make an evaluation for what works best for you and your partners, and help reduce COVID risks.
COVID can be transmitted via close person-to-person contact during sex. But COVID isn’t in itself a sexually transmitted virus. There’s no evidence that shows COVID has been transmitted via pre-cum, cum, vaginal fluids, butt juice or rimming.
Virtual Sexual is one of the safest ways to get off right now is sex that doesn’t involve physical contact with others. Phone sex, cam sex, and sexting are all COVID safe!
WEAR A MASK, ETC. Universal precautions can help reduce COVID risks. Wear a mask in public or around others; thoroughly wash your hands; and cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze.
HOLD OUT IF YOU FEEL UNWELL If you or your partner is feeling sick, skip sex and stay home. Having a high temperature; a new cough; or loss of taste or smell are all common COVID symptoms. Stay home!
STAY IN TOP FORM Now is a good time to maintain other HIV + STI prevention strategies. Some are re-starting PrEP, or checking in with health providers. Regular STI testing ensures any STIs are quickly diagnosed and treated.
FIND A FUCK BUDDY Many of us are reducing COVID risks by having sex with a lock-down fuck buddy. This means choosing one person to only have sex with for a block of time.
LESS HOOK UPS, LESS RISKS The more people you are in close contact with, the more likely it is you’ll be exposed to COVID. If you’re having sex, then reducing the numbers of hook ups you have will reduce your risks.
GET CREATIVE & KINKY You can reduce your COVID risk by limiting the amount of physical contact that happens during sex.
TAKE IT OUTDOORS You’re more likely to be exposed to COVID if you’re in a tightly-packed crowd with little ventilation. You’ll reduce your risk by staying away from crowds, or sex scenes with lots of people.
KEEP YOUR SPIRITS UP We can pursue pleasure and intimacy during COVID. It’s a great form of self-care. We’ve endured other pandemics and together our communities will make it through.
