Experiencing sexual connection during the pandemic lockdown can be a challenge for those who live alone or whose sexual partner(s) are quarantined in a separate household. Digitally-mediated sexual encounters can provide alternative modes of achieving mutual pleasure across physical distance. Because these practices may be new to some, it is important to remember that new sexual practices come with new forms of care.  Consider this with your lover as you probe new possibilities for passion and pleasure together during the lockdown.
