There is no other: obligatory chastity

There is a scientific explanation for why some people work with solar energy, which has to do with the serotonin levels of our body and the importance of the sun for us to produce that substance that acts as a neurotransmitter of happiness. It also has to do with the fact that we always associate summer with leisure and holidays. And, I agree, it is in summer when we know and recognize each other the most. Now imagine that this summer that awaits us will not be able to have sex more than with the people with whom they have been confined. Unique and exclusively. That is what those who know the most say.

Marián García is a Pharmacy doctor and nutritionist. And one of the scientists who most publicizes how we should act with the presence of covid-19 in our lives. Because it is literally in our life. His answer to the question of what kind of sex can we have, now that we are starting to meet friends and see each other again, is forceful. " The only sex you can have is the one that allows you to maintain social distance. Two meters . There will be many phases, the distances will be reduced to be able to walk, we will move on to another phase in which we can change provinces, but the last one really , the last thing we will do will be to have physical contact with the people we see . "

And the worst thing is that we don't know how long we will have to keep it, because we don't have a date to eat our noses. According to @BoticariaGarcia, that measure will be the last to go along with the use of the mask. "Therefore, sex is unthinkable. In less than two meters contagion is possible. You can only skip this distance if you wear PPE and you will not have that. What is in the pharmacies and the masks that we wear are something else. ", it states. And let no one believe that with avoiding the slime everything is already done. A crown-sutra with sexual positions in which the lovers' mouths kept more than a meter apart from each other even got to advertise . But it is not only a matter of slime. "There is a study that was done in early May in the Journal of the American Association, JAMA, in which it is said that of thirty-eight patients, in six the virus was found in the semen, four were asymptomatic, but two gave positive again, despite having passed it and, supposedly, having been cured. They no longer had the disease, but their semen did. Therefore, no one should think that avoiding a close mouth is enough. Not even the semen is spared. "

Laura Morán, a psychosexologist, has the perception that we are not yet aware of the seriousness of what we are talking about: "Risk is an individual perception and there are certain people who have a very low perception of it, such as adolescents. They think not It will touch them. Then we have the familiarity bias. We have the feeling that we can see our mother, our niece, our sister and, of course, the boyfriend who we haven't seen for weeks. You can see yourself, but from afar. You can't touch yourself: they live in another house . "

For us to have sex, according to both, it would be best if there was a pre-exposure prophylaxis pill, (PrEP), like the one that has emerged for HIV: "It is a pill that you take every day and inhibits the replication of virus inside your cells. It has been effective in 90% of cases. They did not become infected with HIV despite having sex with infected people. " But that does not exist. Laura Morán, as a good sexologist, is committed to exploring the possibilities of distance sex in all its possibilities. "We can not touch, we can not kiss, we can not be close to our lovers. I do not stop recommending using devices with images, messages, until they recover the letters! But I strongly stress that they can not skip the two meter measure" . The norm is already more than written, recalls Marián García, scientist: "Any sexual relationship goes against the norms that are general for everyone. The norm requires maintaining two meters of social distance. And those who want to have sex are not going to have more rights than mothers who have not hugged their children and grandchildren for months. "

We are talking about a summer that probably has to be without sex. Just twenty days after it starts, it does not look like they are going to take away the need and obligation to maintain social distance. Let's see who tells the youngest.
