The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Effects on Sexual Behaviors

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects on sexuality during the COVID-19 pandemic by investigating the correlations between a person’s knowledge and perception of COVID-19 and their sexual behaviors. We hypothesize that desire and frequency of sex will be decreased in people who consider themselves “high-risk” or are fearful of COVID-19, have depression or feel lonely as a result of the pandemic, and will utilize more sexual behaviors that avoid close-contact such as technology-mediated behaviors.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1077/thumbnail.jp
