Second week of not seeing my girlfriend due to Lockdown.

Made me think last night how the likes of Tinder, Grindr, PoF etc are doing? How does one date in these weird times?

For some the dry period is going to drive them potty.

And Pornhub premium is now free, apparently. Not sure why anyone would ever pay smile

Is it like the olden days perhaps? You can't see them, so instead you write to them, to pique their interest in your through the use of words?

Or just send them a boomerang of you doing your best helicopter impression?

I'd say. It's quite tricky balancing on one and you'll break the screen.

Zoom sex, surely, screen cast to the 60" TV. I suspect it might turn it into a gynaecological examination with that kind of close up, though.

I suspect you're not the only one ignoring the lockdown for this kind of thing! I guess it's about understanding the risk both in terms of spreading infection and getting caught.

Personally, I haven't seen my gf for about 3 weeks.

I've been speaking to two girls on tinder (one I'm getting on really well with) but it's hard maintaining small talk when you're stuck inside doing nothing!

Had I been able to get out the house I could've gone and met them frown

I suspect having a girlfriend in a different house, with a webcam, will lead to more action than being quarantined with a wife & 2 small kids.......

Curious to know what paperwork gives you permission to travel 120 miles to see a girlfriend? scratchchin

Irresponsible.

I don't think you do have the right to see her, morally.
