Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the New York City Department of Health wants to make sure people are engaging in safe sex practices.
The health agency has issued a memo outlining what sexual pleasures people should and should not engage in during the pandemic.
Besides repeating six-feet social distancing, the department says "you are your safest sex partner" as masturbation will not spread COVID-19.
Health officals also did not rule out virtual sex or sex with a partner or small social circle.
However, the memo did advise against the act of rimming, warning that putting your mouth on an anus can spread the virus through feces.
Some social media users have joked about the guidelines while others have praised the department for including sex acts typically associated with same sex intimacy.
