Humorous Meme about Sex and Marriage while in Quarantine

This is a meme that offers commentary on both marriage and quarantine. There were questions about the safety of having sex during the Coronavirus period, and one New York Times article even went so far as to say to avoid it except “with yourself.”

This meme was a humorous commentary on the state of marriage—couples don’t have sex anyway, so they can just continue on as they always have.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
