Why Having Sex During COVID-19 Feels Wrong
We aren’t fully connecting
I need to feel emotionally connected to my partner to want to have sex, and I haven’t felt emotionally connected to anyone right now. I think I’ve had to turn off my emotions—to go numb—because everything I was feeling was just too much to handle. I can’t process every emotion that comes my way when I hear what’s happening in the world right now so I just…shut off. And so, I can’t connect with my partner.
