The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued advice for those who want to engage in sexual activity in the age of Monkeypox. The guidance is contained in a document called Social Gatherings, Safer Sex and Monkeypox. Breitbart has more.
The CDC set out in its two-page release the death rate of monkeypox is thought to be one percent, but “possibly” higher in immunocompromised individuals, and therefore has a list of warnings, cautions, guidance and associated points to be taken into consideration by anyone considering spending time with another.
Some of the guidance includes masturbating at least six feet away from a partner, avoiding kissing, having virtual sex, and “having sex with your clothes on or covering areas where rash or sores are present”.
The CDC makes plain its advice comes because “monkeypox spreads through close skin-to-skin contact and any person can spread the disease”.
Additionally, those infected with monkeypox — or who are presumed to be carrying the virus — are asked to wash their hands along with other accoutrement including “fetish gear, sex toys, and any fabrics” that may have come into contact with infected areas during sexual intercourse.
