Starting to believe we are going to go the whole way through this entire thing - shops will reopen, schools, pubs, gyms, theatres - and still no one will mention physical contact. It&
#39;s like abstinence-only sex ed. They think if they simply don&
#39;t mention it, we won&
#39;t do it.
And we all know how well abstinence-only education works.
Oh that&
#39;s right. It doesn&
#39;t. It doesn&
#39;t work at all. People have sex anyway (because: humans) but without the information or understanding to do it safely. It&
#39;s a deeply deeply damaging approach.
I&
#39;m not saying it&
#39;s completely analagous but I think we can agree that ignoring something doesn&
#39;t make it go away.
People *will* start to engage in physical contact again. And because there are no guidelines around it, everyone will make their own decisions about what&
#39;s OK.
