During desperate times, youve got to make do with what you have... or whom you have. A new survey released Tuesday by online dating company Match found that nearly 25% of singles who reported having sex during lockdown did so with a non-romantic roommate, one of the many ways Americans had to adapt during the coronavirus pandemic. The 10th annual Singles in America study offers a revealing insight into how singles navigated a year of unprecedented social, economic and political changes and how the ongoing pandemic transformed their approach to dating, love and sex. Although many singles found a hook-up partner in their own household, at least 71% of survey participants managed to spend their quarantine without any sex at all. Among those who did get some action, 45% decided to take the risk and have sex with someone outside of their household, according to the survey. As for those who went on a date during the pandemic, 20% said they will insist on mask-wearing throughout the date, with Gen Z and Millenials being even more open to the idea.

In the past three years of the Trump administration, there has a been a 25% increase in singles who believe its important that their potential partners share the same political beliefs, for a current total of 76% reporting that opinion. Other highlights from the survey include: 24% of singles are now more open to dating someone of a different race or ethnicity since the killing of George Floyd and the ongoing protests for racial justice. In the past 10 years, there has been a 58% increase in singles being open to dating people of a different ethnicity. 59% of singles want to know if their date supports Black Lives Matter.

Who is wasting their time and money researching things like this? Why does it matter?

People in close proximity with each other fuck. Crazy!

And we're still doing so.

But shit, with no end of this in sight, might have to risk it to keep my sanity.

It's not even about the sex at this point. Just the intimacy.

Why would an online dating company care about statistics on people who had sex?

Well, I'd tell you. But you'd never get it.

Read a dear prudence article on it. Two bestfriends (both women if you care) were having sex during lockdown. They told each other it wasn't going to turn into a relationship, but one decided to tell everyone they were dating which upset the other.
