Not sure how true it is cause i havnt seen anything official from government but apparently, from today it’s illegal from today to have sex with anyone that you don’t live with. I’m not sure what to make of this!

If it’s true it’s a massive blow to me as I won’t be storming into hotels with my name on a booking if I’m breaking the law and I’m not sure how clients will react either. I planned on going back to work late July (ish) but I can’t see them changing a law for the sake of a month or 2.

Someone please tell me the mirror is talking shit! 

Aaah I didn’t know it had already been covered.

Yeh, they’re are the worst, they pick an element of a story and amplify it by 1000, just thought I’d ask if anyone knew anything more on it

I can't see a thing on the gov website about this? Are these reports interpretations? I can see someone posted about this on Twitter but to be honest, I can't be bothered to look at the information and decipher it myself?

The announcement of the updated guidelines is at 1130, I think. Given that nobody outside the obvious work-type/vulnerable person exceptions is supposed to have been indoors with somebody not from their household for months anyway it's hard to see what the fuss is about, although since the hookup sites have been doing a roaring trade and civvy people who live apart from their partners will be getting pretty fed up, I daresay that instigated them being a bit more specific.

And obviously the news that People Sometimes Have Sex When They Aren't Supposed To! helps to sell shitty newspapers a lot more than somebody going round to their friends to get pissed and watch Netflix .

Wait... so the government approved a law today were nobody Is to have sex with anybody that is not their live in spouse? (Unless you're Dominic Cummings of course).

(Insert massive "LOL" in this space)

No, despite the best efforts of everybody commentating to make it All About The Sexy Sex!!! the amendments as Ian has already posted are as follows:

“No person may participate in a gathering which takes place in a public or private place indoors, and consists of two or more persons.”

and

“No person may, without reasonable excuse, stay overnight at any place other than the place where they are living.”

These would obviously include having sex with somebody from outside your household, as well as having dinner with them at the table, cutting their hair in the kitchen or helping them bath the dog. And none of these things were permitted yesterday, last week or a month ago either.

Yes so many have turned it into a sex thing, when there is no mention of sex at all!

I'm wondering if anybody on here has actually done a hotel outcall over the past few weeks to someone who is a keyworker who has managed to book a room? I wondered if keyworkers who book the room are allowed a guest who isn't a keyworker. I phoned one budget hotel and they said 1 keyworker per room. I wondered if it's the same in all hotels.

Oh ok, thanks for info. I actually thought the gov had stated the no sex thing. But the having sex with someone outside our household is obviously included without them actually saying the "sex" word.

I've been reading up on mouthwash and Covid-19. No hard data yet but in my view it's worth using. If you research online, some scientists are saying it needs further investigation.
