Apparently the University of Georgia pulled their guidelines for wearing a face mask during sex to protect sexual partners from COVID.
I guess people thought it was ridiculous. Wait, because it is!
A spokesperson at the university said they removed the online guidance due to an overflow of ridicule they received. Hmm, I wonder why!
The Daily Wire reported this quote:
“You are your safest sex partner. Practice solo sex or limit the number of sexual partners you have.
The virus has been found in semen and feces of people with COVID-19. We do not know if COVID-19 can be spread through vaginal or anal sex,” the guidelines stated, as well as “Consider wearing a face mask during sex.
Heavy breathing and panting can further spread the virus, and wearing a mask can reduce the risk.”
“The advice was also posted to Facebook and other social media platforms, after which time it was removed because the information was ‘mocked, ridiculed and criticized,’ UGA spokesman Greg Trevor told the Athens Banner-Herald, adding, ‘The information was consistent with language that appears on multiple health and medical sites across the country, including the Mayo Clinic.However, when the information was mocked, ridiculed and criticized on social media, we decided to take it down,’” Fox News reported.
At a time when Oregonians are spending more time than ever at home, we imagine you may be wondering “Is it still safe to have sex?”
In short – Yes. You can still have sex but with precautions. Here are some tips on practicing safe sex during this time. #COVID19 #sexed pic.twitter.com/mjUPQPZitk
