Sex, Intimacy, and COVID 19

COVID-19, Health, Sexual Health

We are keeping our distance this week! How do we keep up active and healthy sexual lives in the midst of the current climate?

First up, we chat with Bryony Cole from Future of Sex about tech solutions for physically isolating, but remaining socially and sexually connected at this time.

We’re chatting with sex worker Max Arion about the impact of COVID-19 on our sex worker populations, and how innovative tech can support everyone in our community.

Lastly – we touch base with Associate Professor Edwina Wright about transmission of COVID-19 in intimate settings, and what to consider when minimising our risk.

We cover a lot of great resources this week
