If someone asked you what you think about whether the coronavirus affected people’s sexuality, we assume that among other things you would stress that either the pandemic brought couples closer (forced cohabitation), or removed them, since the many hours at home brought in surface problems that while there were long, now became even more intense and ook few were led to divorces.
At the same time, we believe that you would mention the increase in births and, of course, the increased use of dating apps. And while all of this is certainly true and possibly true, a new study by the Kinsey Institute reveals some aspects we may not have thought about until today about how Covid-19 affected relationships and sex.
Sexual intercourse has decreased
According to the Kinsey Institute, more than 50% of the participants in the study, who belonged to the 18-35 age group, revealed that they now have less sex, which is quite logical considering the long-distance relationships, the families that were constantly with the children. and of course, the enormous stress caused by the spread of the pandemic in general.
Communication in relationships has increased
And yet, Covid 19, despite its negatives, seems to have achieved something positive: increasing communication between couples. More specifically, the pandemic made people talk more about their sexual needs and the problems that arise and in many cases the discussions were extremely beneficial.
More experiments and satisfaction in sex
According to the results of the research, during the quarantine period, the couples came closer and having plenty of time were left, as a result of which they tried new attitudes and put erotic aids in the game.
More online dating
Well, as expected the use of dating apps increased since for a long time there was no other way to meet people who were interested in sex or relationship. What is striking, however, is that these platforms, after the pandemic, are not used exclusively for casual sex, but on the contrary, have become a means of communication and confessional discussions.
