Stop kissing. Have sex with your clothes on. Or better yet, apply some sexy social distancing and fire up the webcam the next time you’re getting down.
These are just a few of the myriad suggestions that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention felt compelled to throw out there for anyone who both thinks they have monkeypox and wants to keep having sex.
The CDC, which is the feds’ top public health agency, recently has put out a couple of documents on how to knock boots safely in light of the ongoing monkeypox outbreak. The missives, available on the CDC website for anyone interested, are called “Monkeypox Facts for People Who are Sexually Active” and “Social Gatherings, Safer Sex and monkeypox.”
