ETHICS OF QUARENTINE


The greatest good for the greatest number is a basic ethical idea. We stay home and wear masks out of doors. That is the greatest good for the greatest number of people. - Put this on FB today.

A number of people in several states are protesting the shelter in place rules and mask wearing as invasions of privacy and invasion of the state on the freedom of religion.

It seems clear that the corona virus spreads when people congregate in large numbers. We have to balance the greatest good for the greatest number with individual freedom. We do have the freedom to make a choice. In the case of the virus, I think it is the duty of the state to enforce rules to prevent and andhalt the speed of the virus. I am for it.

Churches that violate the ban should be stopped from gathering large numbers of people who will spread the virus. Individual church practices that endanger the wider public should be prevented and stopped. The state is not interfering with religious beliefs but with gatherings which endanger the larger public, which are endangered by public gatherings of any sort.

Sex During Virus Lock Down

For couples this is a good time to take a fresh look at your sex lives and practices. With more time together at home couples can make love more often. Perhaps try some new positions. Take more time in foreplay. 
Talking about what you’d like your partner to do or not do. Touching too hard or too softly. Having a loving gentle non-judgmental chat about sex can be a delight.
How about giving each other a full body massage with a fragrant oil or skin cream? Take a bath or shower together. Just spend more time just cuddling in bed.
For people living alone. This will be a good time to remove your clothes and take a good look in a full length mirror at your body. What do you love about your body? Look deeply and enjoy its beauty. What don’t you like about it? What can you do to improve it. Lose weight, stop smoking, use more skin lotions or go to the gym.
This is a time when you might masturbate in leisure. Take a warm shower, relax, moisturise you body with lotion. Wash away any guilt feelings you might have. Then lie down, take your time touching yourself all over. Breathe deeply. Touch your penis or clitoris, slowly and gently and then proceed then to orgasm if you wish. 
Alone in your own home, you may want to look at photos and books of nude, men and women alone or enjoying each other.
Viewing a porn film or video may enliven your erotic nature.
This is a special good time to enjoy your body and sexuality.
