In a section on an official Canadian government website, the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control — health professionals share suggestions for people to practice safe sex during the Coronavirus pandemic. One way they encourage people to protect themselves during sex is to “Use barriers, like walls (e.g., glory holes), that allow for sexual contact but prevent close face-to-face contact.”
“Glory holes” are small holes cut into partitions that allow people to engage with little skin-to-skin contact. The “glory holes” can limit the spread of COVID-19, according to the experts.
BCCDC spokesperson, Jane Campbell, said the recommendations were adapted from the New York City health department guidelines, which actually recommended walls back in June, but did not label them “glory holes” at the time.
Campbell explained that “The recommendations acknowledge that sex is important for a person’s mental, social, and physical wellbeing and offer strategies to help reduce the spread of COVID-19,” Campbell said. “During the pandemic, people are continuing—and should continue—to have sex,” VICE quotes.
