I was just reading about lovers making love in a supermarket car park.
None of my friends have admitted to having a secret lover in their senior years. But it set me thinking. How would you contact each other with your spouse in lockdown with you? Would you have a secret phone? Would it be hidden and switched off? Would you have a secret email address? How would you access your lovers messages with your spouse looking over your shoulder, especially a jealous partner or worse still, an abusive one you were planning to escape from prior to lockdown, with or without the support of a lover.
Meeting up in a hotel has become impossible. Meeting up in a bar or cinema is a no go. Even if you get to meet up in a mutual friends house/garden, Should you be using your mutual friend's wine glasses and cutlery? Surely you wouldn't dare kiss and hug your lover in case you unknowingly have the virus and his daughter has just had a baby and vice versa?
Would you risk it for a quickie in a car park or in the woods? I know I wouldn't, but many people are young, energetic and miss a good sex life, or maybe just a bit of romance that is missing at home.
It's a difficult time for everyone. Most especially those grieving for their loved ones lost to this terrible virus but lovers must feel a little helpless and wondering if it's all worth the risk.
