5 ways to take care of your sexuality during COVID-19

During the COVID-19 pandemic, people are staying at home trying to distance themselves from each other. Whether you're single or with a partner, this is the right time to re-evaluate your sex life and take care of yourself.

There are simple steps you can take to improve your sexual health, including learning more about ways to deal with problems like erectile dysfunction or low sex drive. Make good use of this time to rediscover yourself and your partner.

Protection against infections

Whether you are currently living with a partner or still visiting your loved one, it is important to prevent infection. Sexually transmitted diseases can still be a problem even if you are in a close relationship. Take steps to prevent STDs by using condoms during intercourse and getting tested regularly.

It is also important to know more about other types of infections that are transmitted through sex, including fungal infections. Women can easily become infected and experience further pain or discomfort during intercourse if they have an infection

Birth control

Because you're at home most of the day, if not all day, chances are you have more opportunities to have sex than usual. When it comes to intercourse, be aware that your partner can get pregnant if you're not careful. Be sure to have contraception on hand, be it condoms, pills, or other types of contraceptives.

Enjoy time together

The COVID-19 outbreak has triggered a ton of emotions for everyone, from anger to sadness, anxiety and depression. It's important to remember that even though life is showing its dark side right now, it's okay to have some fun. Enjoy the time you spend with your partner.

Take time to experiment in the bedroom, whether it's new positions or seemingly silly role-plays. You can improve your sexual health by getting the most out of your bedroom.

Vaginal dryness

This is a common problem among women, as age-related changes continuously occur in the body. Lack of lubrication can cause pain or discomfort when you engage in friction. Try lubes or other vaginal moisturizing methods and find the one that works best for you.

Lack of libido

When you're at home with your loved one, you may begin to feel a lack of desire, or your partner may feel that way. One may want sex more than the other. It is important to decide what you feel and can do to return sexual desire. Be open with your partner and talk to her about it. Trusting communication and mutual understanding will allow you to reach mutual understanding and agreement so that everyone gets satisfaction from the time spent together in the bedroom.

Quarantine should not cause only stress all the time. Take this moment to learn more about your sexual health and make the necessary adjustments to improve your overall well-being.
