The global coronavirus pandemic has changed a lot of things about the way we live our lives, and for some those changes can be life-changing.
In the sex column “Ask Anna” published in the Chicago Tribune, “a soon-to-be-32-year-old guy” asked columnist Anna Pulley about the recent changes he’s noticed about his sexual inclinations.
According to the letter-sender, for most of his life, he’s only found himself attracted to girls and has only had relationships with them. However, the pandemic and the quarantine it has brought with it has led him to fantasizing about men and feeling more attracted to them. This despite his insistence that he sees himself with a wife and kids and that he does not want to be gay.
As a response, Pulley said that he is not alone in pondering questions like this as the global coronavirus pandemic continues to range around the world. She cites friends realizing their real gender identity, their sexual orientation, and even that their relationship was not working out.
Pulley told the letter-sender that while she cannot find out for him whether he’s just going through a phase, bisexual, or gay, the only way he will be able to find out is if he goes out there and experiments — once it is safe to do so.
For Adam4Adam blog readers in coronavirus-induced quarantines, has the time spent in lockdown gotten you curious about sexual things that you normally haven’t thought about? Are there new things you have tried out that you previously wouldn’t have considered before the pandemic? Tell us all about it in the comments section!
And if you do go out there and have sex, don’t forget to follow these precautions to lower the risk of getting infected with COVID-19.
Connected with a bud last week. First playtime since February. We both have been sensible with quarantining, social.distancing and masking when out. The time together was one of our best ever, and we’ve been play buds for over a decade Have been hit up by a record number of Visitors in the past 10 days. Let’s see … hook up with an out-of-town total stranger. How absoluletly stupid is that?! I don’t get into it with them. Just say “hey thanks for the offer, but I’m not able to meet.” Covid-19 hasn’t made me rethink my sexuality or play practices.… Read more »
I am very selective about my partners these days, so no. This has not affected my sex life one iota.
Gloryholes baby!
It hasn’t changed my habits at all. I’m horny, other guys are horny, so I’m out getting my hole fucked just like I always do.
Good, I see no problem with hooking up and meeting others. Most of this virus stuff is media and political hype.
First off, I think the media and politics has blown this virus way out of proportion. They have everyone running scared, and because of all the media and government hype we are all loosing our freedoms. The-have to wear a mask, can’t even shake someone’s hand, this social distancing thing is uncalled for. I only wear a mask if I absolutely have to, and if I’m to near someone, well if whom ever doesn’t like it they can move away from me. I occasionally use sanitizer if I think about it. I know there have been lots of deaths and… Read more »
your freedom stops when others’ freedom is infringed.
So wear your mask.
I worry about myself, not others that I don’t know and probably will never meet.
What about those you DO know and could infect?
Well said
You ask why cases are spiking? Because guys like you want what they want, no matter who else it hurts. A lot is caused by no social distancing in groups as well. It’s not that much trouble to wear a mask around people you don’t know .
“Hopefully won’t get the bug” hope, is not a plan, there’s “no one in these adult arcades” because they’re smarter/conscientious than you and the few idiots you see in there. You’re so very selfish and careless.
I can’t believe just how misinformed, ignorant, and just plain stupid people can be….. “You only worry about yourself” REALLY??!! You Low Life Piece of S**T….. It’s EXACTLY people JUST LIKE YOU that has caused this massive spread….. What Kind of Parents raise someone like you?? Did you not learn Anything throughout your entire time on this planet… Selfish, Self Centered, Morally and Ethically Void… WOW!!! You think you’re exempt from this…. Wake Up…. This is Killing Thousands and Thousand of people…. IT WILL Touch your life before it’s over, You Will know people who have died from this… you… Read more »
Nothing about it is political, and now idiots are trying to make it a political issue.
In a period of 5 months, over 130,000 people have died in the US and you think it’s been blown out of proportion? In the world, it’s a little over half a million people dead. I knew when the virus would get to the US we would have the most deaths. Americans feel so entitled to do whatever they want, even when it’s detrimental to themselves and/or others. Your careless attitude is your contribution to the deaths of many people. I bet you haven’t even bothered to get tested since your running around doing whatever just to make sure you… Read more »
Simple. No sex since January!
I’ve had plenty of cock sucking and sex and healthy. Stop falling for all this media hype.l
I have restricted myself to using my wood wall gloryhole to suck cocks and get sucked. I have ruled out face-to-face contacts and anal till it gets safer to do so. But it’s fun seeing a nice, hard cock slide through the hole for my warm mouth!
I miss kissing and cuddling the most. I love foreplay with aggressive deep tongue kissing before, during and after sex. I’m a happily single guy with fuck buddies I met on here. I practiced celibacy from the middle of March to early June. It was easier than I thought it would be.
Since I’ve relocated to Soflo., in 03′, realizing the mentality of gay soflo., I had really adjusted/restricted my sexual activities to types of masturbation-kissing; prior to this pandemic.
Now, I’m not sexing anyone for the time being.
If you think the covid-19 is all media hype i encourage you to go and get the disease.. so you can know exactly how it feels..are you scared to do that?…there have been people who have had no underlying issues at all and has died from this scourge..it can take your immune system and ravage it till no end..so if you think its a hoax …please,i beg you to get the disease and lets see if you live or die…then if you make it, you come back here and tell us all about it…this is real and thanks for all… Read more »
I’m going to be perfectly candid here. I have hooked up practically every day with at least one guy per day to several on a some occasions. I am selective as to who I sleep with. I fuck bb probably 98% of the time. Most of my friends who are really hot guys have been doing the same. Things haven’t changed at all for most people I know and to this day I still only know one person who got sick from Covid 19 but he was immune compromised and he still survived. Most of my friends are on prep… Read more »
Well, it has not really changed my habits, except made me more critical. I mean, now that the death tolls are near ZERO, they are moving the goalpost, now it is not deaths, but Positive tests of covid…and that could be any of the 4 covid flues we have experienced in the last 20 years. I am getting a whole lot more scared of these government unlawful actions than I am of covid, by a long shot.
This comment aged well…
I do distance myself from online groups such as this one that serve no purpose other than to provide a forum for “better than thou” preachers, teachers, and would be social movers who need to demonstrate their superior pose over those “less fortunate”. Crap.
I now truly know what zero means. Nothing since March and it is killing me. Only porn, A4A, chat rooms and the like have made it easier but I miss the soft touch.
