Is Pandemic Anxiety Changing Sexual Behaviour In Couples?
Bleu | What is Pandemic Fatigue? After living in separate countries for nearly 10 months, due to the pandemic and lockdown restrictions, when Kritika (name changed) was reunited with her newly-wed husband she was elated. But when the second wave hit, she saw too many of her friends and family suffer physically and financially, and the hope of leading a fun and intimate conjugal life had to take a backseat.
As worrisome news started pouring in from all corners, Kritika and her husband started losing interest in lovemaking. The fear of losing jobs coupled with concern for their loved ones impacted their mental health and sex drive.

So, what has been the impact of Covid-19 on the sexual lifestyle of couples?
