I am a bit confused about some of the latest lockdown easing rules due to kick in from the 17th of May.
Hugs and kisses among friends and family members will be allowed, I get that. Those of us who feel passionately about their personal space must be thrilled by the way.
The guidelines further state that the above mentioned intimacy will not be allowed among strangers.
Why then, do I see news headlines herald ‘the return of casual sex’?
I might be rusty on the subject, but aren’t the majority of one night stands supposed to be happening with strangers? Or at the very most with Roger from accounts? Is the government now saying that it is once again fine to sleep around, provided we do it within firmly established friendship groups or (surely not?) among extended family members.
I would welcome more clarity on the subject. Asking for a friend, naturally.
