Plus, what it’s like to be biracial and arguing with your family
|
|
A post went viral a few weeks ago by sexologist Jill McDevitt, who wrote about how decades of research on condoms can be used to convince people to wear face masks. That got us thinking: What else can sex educators teach us about how to act during a pandemic? Many say they see parallels between the conversations we’re having about social distancing and who to let into our coronavirus “bubbles” and the way we’ve been taught to talk about consent and safe sex.
With sex, it’s been proven that a harm-reduction approach is more successful than abstinence-focused education. The same is true for coronavirus; with people totally over staying at home, how can we encourage them to go out safely without putting themselves and others at risk? Here is what sex educators can teach us about how to socialize during this time.

With many of us currently working from home (and grateful for it!), it’s easy to eat lunch at your desk (or kitchen table or wherever you are working) or skip it all together. But that actually hinders your productivity, contrary to what you might think. As environmental psychologist Lee Chambers told senior reporter Kelsey Borresen this week, “We only have the capacity to work deeply on tasks for around four hours of each day, so there is little value in stealing time from your lunch, as it may give you more time, but it makes you less productive, less creative and more likely to make mistakes, as well as pushing you towards burnout and an unhealthy work-life integration.” Here are six better ways to spend your lunch break when WFH. |
