In Canada, they do it with masks
At least, that’s the official recommendation:
Skip kissing and consider wearing a mask when having sex to protect yourself from catching the coronavirus, Canada’s chief medical officer said on Wednesday, adding that going solo remains the lowest risk sexual option in a pandemic.
Dr Theresa Tam said in a statement there is little chance of catching COVID-19 from semen or vaginal fluid, but sexual activity with new partners does increase the risk of contracting the virus, particularly if there is close contact like kissing.
And I think it’s fitting that the recommendation comes from Canada, because Leonard Cohen – one of Canada’s greatest exports – anticipated it all:
Idiots. So many idiots.
People who are not idiots are those in South Dakota starting with their governor. They had the Sturgis event, they are having the South Dakota State Fair and they going to have fans at a senior golf tournament next week which will be the first golf tournament to do this.
I swear I’d move there if they could do something about the winters.
I suppose Canadian authorities couldn’t consider recommending not having sex with new partners in an epidemic.
“Close contact like kissing” is bad but sexual activity is OK?
I guess the government is implicitly recommending intercourse in the doggie style.
All nations change over time.
But in the last, say, 30 years Canada must be one of the most changed.
While I’m a very great fan of the deeply irreverent and liberty loving Cantonese-speaking natives of Hong Kong, observation teaches that they (like pretty much all ethnic types) go instinctively and opportunistically progressive as soon as they emigrate elsewhere.
This Ms Tam who won’t be getting much at all in an unmasked illuminated state being a case in point.
Remember the jokes in high school about putting a paper bag on your partner’s head so you couldn’t see how ugly she was?
I never thought it was particularly funny either, but we were braggarts, and virgins to boot.
“I guess the government is implicitly recommending intercourse in the doggie style.”
Reminds me of an old joke:
Q: Why do Canadians prefer to have intercourse doggie-style?
A: So they can both watch the hockey game at the same time.
PA: Canucks are called Loonies for a reason!
PA Cat: if neo had upvotes you would get one from me
Actually, in Canada they do it with scandals.
(Which is what one ought to expect from an avid Obama acolyte.)
Wait. Wait. Wait. There is virtually no way to catch the Chinese flu from semen or vaginal fluid but you can catch it while walking down the street without a mask? I’m confused.
And what about all those semen on that battleship that got Covid? What about them?
I’ve read that in the Covid-19 world, many newly-dating couples are waiting so long to kiss that when they finally cast aside their fears and do that, they go ahead and have sex on the same occasion.
The world is beginning to resemble a bad dystopian sci-fi movie…

Serious risk-assessment fail. Good god, what is wrong with people?
The Cohen video is two on one, an older woman plus a young one, which has gotten no comments so far..
Personally, I prefer Gordon Lightfoot’s creativity.
Speaking of Leonard Cohen, I’ve been thinking about the lyrics from another one of his songs:
I know you’ve heard it’s over now and war must surely come
The cities they are broke in half and the middle men are gone
But let me ask you one more time, O children of the dust
All these hunters who are shrieking now oh do they speak for us?
Theresa Tam was presented as a pandemic guru, supposedly from her work on SARS.
Based on her current performance, she’s a career bureaucrat looking for Tedros’ position at the WHO when he wears out his welcome.
Time will tell.
Speaking of jokes, I have to tell this one:
Question:
Do you know why the students at Baylor University (often Baptists) don’t have intercourse standing up?
Answer: Because folks will think they are danclng.
Oh, Texexec… I was just getting ready to post that golden oldie.
A full body condom, or you risk spreading viral contagion, stoking social contagion, and incurring the wrath of social justice protestors. #BabyLivesMatter
“A full body condom…”
