Did you know, some diseases such as Ebola and Zika can be transmitted via semen?

Were all looking for some indoor entertainment while social distancing , but Netflix has its limits. Netflix and chill, however, never gets old so can you have sex while coronavirus is sweeping the nation?

Some diseases such as Ebola and Zika can be transmitted via semen, explains Paul Hunter, a professor of medicine and expert in infectious diseases based at the University of East Anglia but theres no evidence of this for Covid-19.

Its the working up to it [erm, sex] thats the issue, he says. The main risk is going to be from oral, respiratory droplet spread. French kissing is probably not on the cards, so if you come up with a way of having sex without that, it might be a good idea.

The risk of transmitting or contracting the virus during sex, however, depends on your current health and the nature of your sex life, Prof. Hunter adds.

Are you social distancing or self-isolating ? The former simply means limiting contact with the outside world, while the latter is for people who may have come into contact with the virus and is a little more complicated.
