> **[Dutch official advice to single people: find a sex buddy for lockdown](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/15/dutch-official-advice-to-single-people-find-a-sex-buddy-for-lockdown-coronavirus)** > > Those without a sexual partner asked to come to mutually satisfactory agreements > **[Find lockdown ‘sex buddy’, Dutch singles advised](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-52685773)** > > The official guidance counsels singles to “meet with the same person”, provided they are virus-free. As a single person reading these articles I wonder if anyone here can offer advice on how I would go about finding a “sex buddy”. With all the clubs, bars and coffee shops closed I was thinking of maybe just posting on gumtree. What are the single people here doing during this time? ---

> [@Rat\_au\_van](#): > > The wording of the gumtree post will be interesting There are some interestingly vague and yet very specific posts on gumtree. Nothing that PG enough that I think I can get away with posting here ---

Surely Tinder, Bumble, Grindr, Badoo, Coffee Meets Bagel, etc are all still working, if one needs a hookup. Gumtree wouldn’t have been the first thing that comes to mind. ---

On the other hand, while trying to Google the German Coronavirus sex advice posters (I couldn’t find them again; from memory they basically amounted to “Stick to doggy”) I found this article instead: > **[Hands off! Sex parties and the spread of coronavirus](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2020/mar/11/hands-off-can-orgies-survive-in-the-age-of-coronavirus)** > > A sex-party promoter in the US is still planning to hold orgies in New York and Los Angeles. But sexual contact is an almost guaranteed method of catching the virus The bit which caught my eye was: > But sexual contact is an **almost guaranteed method of catching the virus** Maybe just lie on your hand for a few minutes beforehand instead? ---

I think it’s been kept pretty clean all things considered update: No sex buddies exist in the UK ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/monzo/original/3X/8/e/8e48f433700bf03360cafe4f1fc1170c76d52d1c.png) > [@HoldenCarver](#): > > Maybe just lie on your hand for a few minutes beforehand instead?

It’s pretty good advice, and advice I would hope this Government and all the ‘dating’ apps would promote eventually too. 🤷‍♂️ Whether people follow the rules/advice… > “Proximity and physical contact are not a luxury, they are basic needs,” Duits wrote. “If we have learned anything from the Aids epidemic, it is that not having sex is not an option.” ---

The UK is in a very different place to the Netherlands or Germany - I really don’t think this should be a massive concern for us right now. It’s not even been two months! ---

Day 60 of staying in on my own. Where can I get one of these ? 😉 🤫. I’m on the over 65s list for Sainsbury’s, wonder if they’ve got them in stock? ---

> [@DaveJ](#): > > I know right 🤣 I woke up and laughed my head off that it offended someone enough to flag it. Given the clear subject, I’m baffled that anyone offended enough to find the context worth flagging would’ve even clicked through. Do they not realise that if they’re not interested in the topic, they can just… move on? 😲 ---

There’s always a few bitter people around or snowflakes, not like the comment is sexual in nature as such. That’s the problem with a large proportion of this country they just can’t face any kind of chat about sex related activities. It’s a purely natural thing but nah let’s brush it under the carpet instead, these kinds people probably still believe in the tooth fairy and Santa too 🤣 [Next page](https://community.monzo.com/t/news-articles-about-dutch-sex-buddy-advice/97385.md?page=2)
