Onward we blunder through the wackiness of COVID. What is fascinating about this wackiness, and probably about all wackiness, is that wackiness yields wackiness. For example, I have just managed to use the word 'wackiness' four times in the same sentence. That would not have happened without the wackiness of COVID.
Anyway, regarding the wackiness of COVID, there is the next generation of COVID wackiness (that is now twice in the same sentence). What is this next generation of wackiness? Take note of the following article from the New York Post: NYC Health Department.
I will cite some of the paragraphs from this article:
"The newest advisory is an expanded version of one released in March,
which warned against kissing and in-person dates,
saying masturbation was the safest type of sex."
"That's still the case - with officials suggesting hopping on a computer in order to get off."
"Video dates, sexting, subscription-based fan platforms,
sexy 'Zoom parties' or chat rooms may be the best option for you."*
There are other ideas in this article. There are, however, at least two obvious pieces of advice that are absent from the New York City Department of Health's guidelines. As well, at least one suggestion could hold hidden dangers.
The obvious pieces of advice? First, it is entirely safe regarding COVID to have no partner whatsoever. There is no need for a mask, though a mask could be fun in its own right. The other obvious piece of advice, if abstaining is not the right choice, is to have only one partner on a permanent basis. Above and beyond questions of COVID, this is a recipe for good physical, mental, and emotional health.
The dangerous piece of advice is "officials suggesting hopping on a computer in order to get off." I mean...really! There is hardly enough room for one person on the computer. Two people on it...you might end up breaking the hard drive. The washing machine is really much better suited for this than the computer. And what if the computer has a virus? I thought we were trying to avoid viruses. And do you really want to zoom through this?
Despite the last paragraph, this was a serious blog entry.
Have a good evening everyone.
