How has this time of insecurity, lockdowns, and social distancing changed our relationships? And how can we deal with the challenges of pandemic sexuality?<\/p>\n<h3>We&#8217;re Having Less Sex<\/h3>\n<p>If the pandemic has put a damper on your sex life, don\u2019t beat yourself up; you\u2019re one of many. Sex researchers from the Kinsey Institute conducted an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/01490400.2020.1774016\">anonymous survey<\/a> in the early days of the pandemic that revealed a significant decline in partner sex and masturbation.<\/p>\n<p>Many people have moved their sex lives to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/worklife\/article\/20210209-can-online-sex-fill-the-connection-void\">online venues<\/a>. As the pandemic has entered a new phase, some online dating apps are facilitating conscientious hookups <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2021\/jul\/22\/swiping-right-on-jabs-dating-app-adds-covid-vaccine-badges-in-australia\">by introducing \u201cvaccinated\u201d badges<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense that many singles have been afraid to make new \u201cin-real-life\u201d (IRL) contacts. But what about couples whose relationships have suffered?<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that there\u2019s no single answer as to why even couples sharing a roof are having less sex. Here are a few factors that play into the problem:<\/p>\n<h4>Relationship Conflicts<\/h4>\n<p>Many couples don\u2019t understand why one or both libidos dropped during the pandemic. Taking a closer look at your relationship might give you some answers. Sexuality doesn\u2019t exist in a void; when tension builds, desire wanes.<\/p>\n<p>And being locked down together for months causes tension. Situations where one or both partners are juggling remote work with childcare and remote schooling have caused <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gottman.com\/blog\/how-the-pandemic-affected-relationships\/\">severe stress and anxiety<\/a> for many couples.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, for intimacy to thrive, we need to feel relaxed and secure. No wonder we\u2019re losing interest in sex!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31289\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31289\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/parent-working-with-a-child-nearby.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31289 size-full\" title=\"parent working with a child nearby\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/parent-working-with-a-child-nearby.jpeg\" alt=\"parent working with a child nearby\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/parent-working-with-a-child-nearby.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/parent-working-with-a-child-nearby-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31289\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Combining remote work and childcare led to stress and exhaustion for many<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Stronger Fear of Pregnancy<\/h4>\n<p>Worrying about unplanned pregnancy can destroy sexual pleasure. With the rise of COVID-19, those fears have become even more pronounced.<\/p>\n<p>Getting COVID-19 while pregnant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/NEJMp2027940\">increases the risks of COVID<\/a> and of a bad pregnancy outcome. Women are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/coronavirus\/in-depth\/pregnancy-and-covid-19\/art-20482639\">more likely<\/a> to need an emergency C-section and even have a stillbirth. It\u2019s no surprise that many women delay their baby plans and associate sex with fear of pregnancy.<\/p>\n<h4>Increases in Erectile Dysfunction<\/h4>\n<p>Early <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medrxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2020.03.21.20037267v1.full.pdf\">studies <\/a>on the impact of COVID-19 infection on sexual health <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/erectile-dysfunction\/early-study-suggests-covid-19-may-alter-testosterone-ratios-in-men\/\">suggest drops<\/a> in testosterone in men, erectile dysfunction has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/mens-health\/covid-infection-can-cause-ed\/\">linked to the coronavirus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To make things worse, even men who did not get sick may deal with ED. High levels of stress and anxiety \u2014 like those suffered by many men during the pandemic \u2014 are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/erectile-dysfunction\/life-stress-and-erectile-dysfunction-how-to-take-control\/\">known to cause problems <\/a>in the bedroom.<\/p>\n<h3>Getting Your Love Life Back on Track<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWhen times are tough, eroticism is what inspires us to survive \u2014 and even to thrive \u2014 despite all odds.\u201d &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.estherperel.com\/blog\/letters-from-esther-25-eroticism-in-hard-times\">Esther Perel<\/a>, couples therapist<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re in a relationship, going back to good sex means rebuilding erotic tension and intimacy. Here are some steps you can take to help you feel like lovers again:<\/p>\n<h4>Dress the Part<\/h4>\n<p>Pay attention to what you wear at home. Ditch the worn yoga pants and stained shirts. Buy some loungewear that looks and feels sensual.<\/p>\n<h4>Revive the Kiss<\/h4>\n<p>Remember kissing? Go ahead and try. It&#8217;s fun! Kissing gets forgotten by long-term couples. Doing it during the day can help you warm up for a sexy get-together in the evening.<\/p>\n<h4>Schedule Intimacy<\/h4>\n<p>Going back to sex can be challenging. Put it into your calendar. Remember that planning for sex doesn&#8217;t equal the obligation to have intercourse. A sensual massage or watching an adult film together also counts.<\/p>\n<h4>Rethink Your Birth Control<\/h4>\n<p>If you are part of a couple with a heightened fear of pregnancy, consider changing your birth control.<\/p>\n<p>The Pill and hormonal IUDs are over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/medicine-and-dentistry\/pearl-index\">99% effective<\/a> against pregnancy. If those contraceptive methods don\u2019t work for your partner, consider using two birth control methods at once for added protection.<\/p>\n<p>If you rely on condoms or a diaphragm, learn the basics of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acog.org\/womens-health\/faqs\/fertility-awareness-based-methods-of-family-planning\">fertility awareness<\/a> and avoid intercourse on your partner\u2019s most fertile days.<\/p>\n<h4>Try a Night of Erotica<\/h4>\n<p>While the media often portray adult films as a threat, couples and singles can benefit from watching erotic materials, in the pandemic and beyond. Here\u2019s how to use porn wisely:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Alternate between porn and other ways to get aroused<\/strong>. Don\u2019t rely on videos to get hard and achieve orgasm. Even if you\u2019re single, you can use your own imagination or focus on pleasurable sensations during masturbation.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Be honest about it<\/strong>. If you\u2019re living with someone, have a conversation about erotic content. No need to make it a secret, but if you enjoy watching films on your own, tell your partner that you need some me-time. Balance your alone sessions with a sensual movie night for the two of you.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Choose the right film<\/strong>. Women often complain that porn films are full of violence and unromantic sex. Do your research and find films that your partner will like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31290\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31290\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/couple-lying-in-bed-looking-at-a-latpop-together.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31290 size-full\" title=\"couple lying in bed looking at a latpop together\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/couple-lying-in-bed-looking-at-a-latpop-together.jpeg\" alt=\"couple lying in bed looking at a latpop together\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/couple-lying-in-bed-looking-at-a-latpop-together.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/couple-lying-in-bed-looking-at-a-latpop-together-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31290\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Choose erotic films you both will like<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Deal with ED<\/h4>\n<p>If you or your partner struggle with ED, there\u2019s no good reason not to address it \u2014 and plenty of good reasons to seek help!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Talk to a doctor<\/strong>.

Learn stress-reduction techniques. Consider seeing a psychotherapist to treat your anxiety and regain confidence.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Talk about it<\/strong>. If you have a partner, talk to her or him. Don\u2019t keep it inside.
