Sex banned indoors for Tier 2 couples living apart, Number 10 confirms

Boris banned bonking!

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/indoor-sex-ban-tier-2-couples-living-apart-a4571925.html

Couples living apart in areas with Tier 2 restrictions are not allowed to have sleepovers unless they are in a “support bubble”, Downing Street confirmed today.

Boyfriends and girlfriends will be able to meet outdoors in Tier 2 but are expected to adhere to social distancing rules such as hands, face and space. They must also adhere to the rule of six.

The Prime Minister’s official spokesman told a briefing of Westminster journalists: “The rules on household mixing in Tier 2 set out that you should mix with your own household only unless you’ve formed a support bubble and that obviously does apply to some couples.”

Asked if couples in Tier 2 can meet outside, he said: “Yes, as it was set out in the guidance that was published this week the ban on household mixing is in relation to indoors and outdoors the rule of six applies.”

I don’t see this as getting rid of sex but keeping people from getting coronavirus. It’s flared up in many part of London.

So can you go to a pub and drink but not have sex at home? Good luck with that.

So most forms of dating for non-cohabiting couples are essentially banned.

I would imagine that everyone on POF and Tinder has suddenly taken up hiking as their main hobby!
