With coronavirus infected numbers rapidly increasing in South Africa it’s natural for couples to start wondering if having sex is a good idea.

However, kissing is a higher risk and could mean the transmission of the virus via saliva. And worryingly there is also evidence of oral-faecal transmission of the Covid-19 and that implies that analingus may represent a risk for infection. If you are diagnosed with Covid-19, the virus will affect you and your whole body. So you would not be able to engage in sex activity because of the flu symptoms your body would be fighting.

Dr Dustin Costescu, an associate Professor at McMaster Universit shares his knowledge via his twitter account and as a practicising sex doctor says: “ It's my duty to remind you that Covid-19 does not appear to be present in semen or vaginal fluid.” Mehmet Oz, better known as Dr Oz, is prescribing sex for couples quarantining together as the world works to flatten the curve of the coronavirus pandemic.
