But could sex actually help alleviate growing fears? I’ve begun to wonder if we were having more sex, if it would help me feel a bit more relaxed, Iris shares. According to psychologists, she’s right: while doing it may be the Medical Assistant Crew Christmas Sweater but in fact I love this last thing you want to do right now, sex—and masturbation—can in fact help mitigate some of the stress. The bad thing about anxiety is that it’s preoccupying, while the good thing about sex is that it’s regulating, says Dr. Laurie Watson, a certified sex therapist and host of Foreplay Radio. Anxiety is this existential terror of the unknown, and love and sex and orgasm is a way to mitigate that, and be here now. It physiologically releases hormones that give us a sense of being grounded and connected.

The biggest challenge may be getting back into a groove. Watson’s suggestion is to ease into it. Start with skin-on-skin contact and holding each other so you can melt into being sexual versus a cold start, she explains. Solomon points out that mutual acceptance is another big step in the Medical Assistant Crew Christmas Sweater but in fact I love this right direction. I think one of the best things couples can do is just say to each other, ‘What the hell; this is killing our sex life,’ because then you’re accepting and sharing this WTF experience, she explains. The worst thing that can happen is couples feeling badly and becoming panicked about how long it’s been, or going silent about it. One silver lining about being quarantined together 24/7 is that sex can also happen at untraditional times. What I would say is better now is just being able to have sex whenever, says Louisa, 35, an editor who got married last summer. It’s actually opened up the window to more sex-having. So while whatever sadness my husband and I may feel day to day is probably cutting back on ‘feeling sexy,’ we’re just about breaking even.
