We all expect things will return to the same point before the pandemic started. Chances are we will never get back to that point. Chances are this virus will forever change the way we interact with strangers. Like, how long will it take for people to ditch their face masks?

At some point, we will decide it's no longer a good idea to "exchange fluid" with anyone.
I can't remember where I read this, "during coronavirus, the safest sex partner is yourself". I am worried that traditional prostitution will gradually be replaced by technology, like sex toys with VR and AR.
