Is anyone hesitant about having causal sex with different partners during covid?

[Bluesky00]

I’m thinking twice about having some causal fun with different guys during this pandemic. I don’t mind having fun with one steady guy but normally I would like hook up with maybe than like 5 guys or so. If I happen to get it from someone, I mean wouldn’t the health department start investigating where I got sick and those contact tracers are going to be calling people who I got in the contact with. Also, I don’t want my family to know where I got sick and my supervisors to know that. My first thought was to lie and say I got it at the store or something  but that wouldn’t be a good idea because I believe I could be blamed for lying about the source of the outbreak. I mean, it wouldn’t sound good if I said “yeah, I got it from this guy I fu**ked” let’s say I did get from a random guy, are they going to question me where I got it? Like the Health dept or contact tracers?

You shouldn't be doing that during Covid.  Not a good idea at all.  You should have one exclusive partner, who is also exclusive with you.  Even if monogamy isn't your thing, this is what you need to do right now in order to be safe and responsible in the age of Covid.

[d0nnivain]

You do not have to share the details of your contact.  You can say you got it from being around Mr. X.  Nobody but you & Mr X need to know just how intimate that contact was.  

However, since you are concerned about Covid, perhaps limiting the # of partners is a good idea.  When you are in proximity to someone you risk every place & person they have been with, so keeping your own circle smaller is prudent.

I guess I’ll stick to one partner for right now.

I feel like it's not cool to not let the others know you're sexually active with all of them off and on (am I understanding that right?) either way, pandemic or no pandemic, but in regards to the pandemic it's not really fair if they're limiting their contacts (say, just their household, and you) you're exposing them to those other guys plus whomever they're also in contact with.

If that makes sense.

It makes perfect sense, and you're far more tactful than me.  I would say that when having sex with multiple people, they need to know the risks that are taking when being in your bed.  But doing it right now with COVID is beyond irresponsible.

OK, what is your actual life plan.
I thought you were about 19-20, but you are from what I read far older.
You are messing about with FWB and "casual" and hook ups... 
Where is your life heading?

I have been hesitant about having casual sex with different partners my whole life.

Covid you might recover from. Herpes lasts forever.

I agree.

Funny typo. You don't mean CAUSAL sex

I guess we'll all be dry humping in hazmat suits for awhile.

Blimey, where are you? I don't think that's what happens here except for communicable diseases.

I don't think it's a good idea for multiple partners in general, the more partners the more other issues like STDS/dramas. I like a calm life!

That said if it weren't for Covid I would probably have a sexual relationship right now, with one person not multiple, even if it wasn't a great love affair or permanent relationship.

I'm hesitant to even go out and hang out with people I know for platonic hanging, so for me, hooking up with people I don't really know and can't account for their whereabouts and safety practices as much is just not worth it. 

[amaysngrace]

No.

Not really. Using condoms are preventative from getting stds. Covid on the other hand is like playing Russian roulette, you can get mild symptoms or there’s also a chance that a healthy person with no underlying conditions can end up on a ventilator. There’s also been known cases of long term health effects even after recovery. Plus with covid you can easily pass it along to your kids, family, friends, coworkers, cats, dogs.

You could always just chose to not have sex and be safe.
