SexDiaries: 'Turns out COVID sex is not quite as fun as sex-sex'
Photo-Illustration: James Gallagher This week a woman socializes with various crushes before going into isolation: 41, single, Brooklyn.10 a.m. I’m an art teacher at a private school. Today I have to teach a couple individual lessons and a class for high-schoolers.4 p.m. I’m especially glad the workday is over because I’m heading to a wine tasting with a friend at my favorite museum. I never mind going to exhibits alone but chatting with M is a nice change of pace.
1 p.m. Finally done with that ordeal. I feel exhausted from waiting in the cold and the stress of having to meet with urgent-care staff. We head back to his place and nap. He has flu-like symptoms so I make him all of the tea and soup a person could need — and make sure to take care of myself the same, just in case!
11 p.m. Y and I are ready to go home but get pulled into a conversation with a guy who I am not sure knows I once hooked up with his brother. I try to pull away but he asks me for my number right in front of Y, so I feel obliged. I heard he uses a fake vaccination card, which I don’t have the guts to ask him about, but I absolutely can’t get down with that.1 p.m. A asks if I want to go with him to get another COVID test, like a weird idea of a date. I have no idea why I say yes, but I do.
10 p.m. R leaves because he has an allergy attack from the cat. I am bummed but happy that I didn’t make a fool of myself by saying or doing anything inappropriate. I head out soon after since tomorrow is a weekday.10 a.m. I plan to stay home for the next few days and milk this booster so I can take a mental break from work. I cancel all of my meetings, a doctor appointment and my tattoo consultation — I’m debating a new tattoo and was going to run some ideas by an artist I was referred to.
4:45 p.m. I throw a bag together with a few outfits and A comes back to pick me up. Looks like we are stuck together.10 a.m. Here we go. R messages in the group chat that his test is positive. Luckily he has only mild symptoms. If I didn’t have a chance with him before, I get the feeling that giving him COVID may be a dealbreaker? I tell the group that I am positive too, but try to keep it vague in terms of who gave what to who. We will never really know, after all.

Ron DeSantis keeps pushing Covid treatments that don’t workChris Hayes: “The Republican Party has decided that actively promoting vaccination is not acceptable, while promoting the treatment that Donald Trump got is. And so, Ron DeSantis will choose to ‘die on the hill’ of the drugs that no longer work. And in his state of Florida, 64,000 people are dead.”
