冠状病毒大流行期间的性:什么是安全的，什么是专家不希望你做的
这在很大程度上取决于你的关系状态。
我们现在都在保持社交距离。这就引出了一个问题:在COVID-19自我隔离的时代，你如何做爱?在疫情期间发生性行为安全吗?
首先是事实。COVID-19，由病毒引起的疾病新型冠状病毒根据世界卫生组织的说法，这种病毒是通过人与人之间的直接接触或人与人之间(6英尺内)的接触传播的，因为人们认为这种病毒是通过咳嗽或打喷嚏时的飞沫排出的疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)，然后你可以吸入。如果你在没有正确洗手的情况下触摸了自己的脸，你也可以从被污染的表面接触到病原体，从而将病原体引入你的身体。
所以，是的，性行为会导致冠状病毒的传播。当你们赤身裸体压在对方身上时，你们显然已经足够亲密了，而且你们可能还在接吻，或者至少喘着粗气。(顺便说一下，还有一组哈佛大学的医生建议你避免接吻，如果你要和没有自我隔离的人发生性关系，甚至要戴上口罩。)
但让我们明确一点:COVID-19不是直接通过性行为感染的。“冠状病毒是一种呼吸道病毒。它可以通过唾液和亲密接触传播，但不会直接通过生殖器传播，”加州大学洛杉矶分校大卫·格芬医学院妇产科临床教授马克·萨里医学博士告诉记者健康．这种区别很重要，因为大流行期间的安全性行为取决于你目前的关系状况，以及你为什么要发生性行为。
如果你是单身，正在约会
由于社会距离或国家规定的居家隔离指导方针，现在出去约会是不合适的，除非是通过FaceTime或其他视频聊天应用程序约会。
纽约市卫生局最近发布了COVID-19安全性行为指南，建议不要与家庭以外的任何人发生性行为。(换句话说，就是和你同居的人。)妇产科医生珍·冈特在文章中写道，不建议有一个“性伙伴”的想法，也就是你和他们只在疫情期间发生性关系的《纽约时报》．她警告说，首先，这个想法违背了社交距离，你实际上不知道他们与其他人保持距离有多近(如果有的话)。
正在约会的单身人士可以有什么样的性生活呢?纽约市的指导方针是这样说的:“你是你最安全的性伴侣。”手淫既安全又令人满意，卫生部门建议在使用任何性玩具之前用肥皂洗手20秒，这也是一个很好的卫生习惯。
如果你们在约会，但没有同居
如果你和你的伴侣没有在一起隔离，那么你们两个必须保持社交距离。保持社交距离的性行为意味着电话性爱或色情短信(文字或图片)。很明显，这两个选项都没有身体接触。
如果你不知道如何开口或说什么才能让你(和你的伴侣)离开，试着把声音放低一点，使用一个专为发送色情短信而保存的应用程序(只是为了帮助你“切换”到性感的心态)，倾听和回应他们说的话，而不是计划你的每一个动作。视频性爱当然对covid -19是安全的，但并不总是安全的。如果你要拍色情视频，那就找一个值得信任的伙伴，也就是你知道不会把你正在做的事情的视频或图像保存下来发给别人的人。

如果你和伴侣住在一起
他们有COVID-19吗?你呢?如果答案是肯定的，或者你怀疑接触过，正在隔离/隔离中，你现在不应该有任何身体接触性行为，无论如何你们都应该呆在不同的卧室里疾病预防控制中心。
纽约市卫生局建议，如果你或你的伴侣属于高危人群(比如免疫功能低下或患有糖尿病等慢性疾病)，可以考虑采取预防措施，决定完全跳过身体上的性行为。
萨里博士说，如果你和你的家庭伴侣没有接触过任何患有COVID-19的人，没有表现出任何症状，感觉健康，并且没有理由相信你可能携带病毒，你可以发生性行为。
如果你为了生孩子而做爱
对许多女性来说，把生孩子的梦想搁置起来是一件痛苦的事情。“现在的问题是女性是否应该怀孕，”萨里博士说，她是贝弗利山南加州生殖中心的副主任。那么，做爱和生孩子安全吗?有一些证据表明垂直传播或母婴传播在怀孕或分娩期间感染病毒是可能的。(然而，关于这一点还需要做更多的研究，因为这不是决定性的。)
尽管如此，仍有很多人猜测，我们将在今年年底迎来婴儿潮。萨里博士说，如果你的伴侣之一感染了COVID-19，而你怀上了一个孩子(记住，人们可能没有症状，所以你可能不知道自己是否感染了COVID-19)，病毒似乎不会通过精子或卵子传播，所以产生的胚胎不应该受到影响。
请再次记住，对新型冠状病毒及其传播方式的理解在不断变化。萨里博士说:“对于现在想要生育的夫妇，我建议他们更加警惕，避免社会接触和手部卫生，但很难得出明确的参数。”
