Have you become more sexually active during the Covid lockdown?

For me, the lockdown was a weird time for sexual activity. On one hand, I had more time on my hands to focus on relationships—both with myself and others. On the other hand, being stuck at home for months felt like a breeding ground for frustration. I’m someone who thrives on meeting new people and spontaneous adventures, so having that cut off made me feel a bit disconnected. But in the quiet moments, I realized I needed to slow down and listen to my own body.

I experimented with self-pleasure in new ways—whether through different techniques or exploring fantasies that I never gave myself permission to consider. The space gave me a chance to reconnect with my sexual desires and reframe what intimacy meant. And as for virtual dating? It was hit or miss. Sometimes it was awkward, but other times it felt surprisingly deep. You actually got to know someone better without all the distractions.

I also realized how important it is to stay mentally and emotionally connected. Physical attraction is just one part of the equation. The lockdown pushed me to focus on deeper aspects of intimacy, like communication, trust, and building emotional bonds. I can’t wait to bring this new mindset into real-life dating.

So yeah, the lockdown didn’t make me more sexually active in the traditional sense, but it did help me connect with my desires and think about intimacy in new ways.
