In these past disruptive, isolating times a lot of us have been deprived of sexuality, at least of sexuality with others. Solo sex has great value of its own, but I think we can agree that solo sex doesn’t substitute for sex-sex, just like sex-sex doesn’t substitute for solo-sex. Like breakfast and dinner, I believe humans need both. Maybe not all humans: that’s fine! Apparently there are people who don’t need breakfast to function either. That’s definitely not me though.
During this time a lot of people’s sex lives have existed predominantly in their minds. It’s a bit sad, but not as sad as it sounds, because mind-sex-life can do wonders to real-world-sex-life once real-life-sex-life resumes.
