I can’t say I became more sexually active during the lockdown, but I definitely got more creative. It wasn’t all bad—being in lockdown gave me the time to experiment with things I had never thought of before. I started using more adult toys and even tried out a few new kinks I’d always been curious about. The lack of distractions made me focus more on my partner and our connection. We’d never been so attentive to each other's desires before, and it made everything feel more meaningful.
The one thing I really embraced was role-playing. I know it sounds a little cliché, but it was actually a fun way to break the monotony of being stuck at home. We could be whoever we wanted, explore different dynamics, and escape into fantasy for a bit. It made our sex life feel fresh again, which I’m sure helped both of us mentally during the lockdown.
That said, I think it's easy to forget that a lot of people struggled with intimacy during this time. Being stuck at home with your partner for long stretches can be tough—arguments and stress can kill your desire. But we learned to communicate better about our needs and feelings. Honestly, that’s what helped us keep things exciting.
For those who are single, I think the lockdown forced us to redefine what intimacy means. You don’t always need to be physically with someone to feel connected. Zoom calls and FaceTime dates can feel surprisingly intimate if you make the effort.
