How COVID-19 is (and is not) changing the way we talk about sex and dating: A critical analysis of sex advice during the pandemic.

In this article, we applied a 'sex critical' lens to discursively analyse online sex advice available to Australian readers in the first 3 months of 'lockdown' during the COVID-19 pandemic (March–June 2020). We explored how sex and intimacy were being talked about within the pandemic context, examining if and how this was different to pre-pandemic sex advice. We found both the perpetuation of dominant discourses that limit understandings of sex and sexual practices, and challenges to these which open exciting possibilities for new sexual intimacies.
