Sex and Corona-virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

All New Yorkers should stay home and minimize contact with others to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

But can you have sex? Here are some tips for how to enjoy sex and to avoid spreading COVID-19.

1. Know how COVID-19 spreads. • You can get COVID-19 from a person who has it. o The virus can spread to people who are within about 6 feet of a person with COVID-19 when that person coughs or sneezes. o The virus can spread through direct contact with their saliva or mucus. • We still have a lot to learn about COVID-19 and sex. o COVID-19 has been found in feces of people who are infected with the virus. o COVID-19 has not yet been found in semen or vaginal fluid. o We know that other coronaviruses do not efficiently transmit through sex.

2. Have sex with people close to you. • You are your safest sex partner. Masturbation will not spread COVID-19, especially if you wash your hands (and any sex toys) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after sex. • The next safest partner is someone you live with. Having close contact — including sex — with only a small circle of people helps prevent spreading COVID-19. Have sex only with consenting partners. • You should avoid close contact — including sex — with anyone outside your household. If you do have sex with others, have a few partners as possible. • If you usually meet your<b> sex partners </font></b>online or make a living by having sex, consider taking a break from in-person dates. Video dates, sexting or chat rooms may be options for you.

3. Take care during sex. • Kissing can easily pass COVID-19. Avoid kissing anyone who is not part of your small circle of close contacts. • Rimming (mouth on the anus) might spread COVID-19. The virus in feces may enter your mouth. • Condoms and dental dams can reduce contact with saliva or feces, especially during oral or anal sex. • Washing up before and after sex is more important than ever. o Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. o Wash sex toys with soap and warm water.
