As the Coronavirus brings the world to a halt, many of us are adopting social distancing and self-isolation.

What is the Coronavirus?

Unless you’ve been marooned on a desert island with no access to the internet for the last four weeks, we feel no need to go into detail…in short, it’s what will be remembered as a virus that on the one hand brought the world to its knees and on the other hand temporarily allowed for nature to recover, communities to come together, and our lives to reset. So, as we continue to experience periods of isolation, let’s endeavor to see self-isolation as an important challenge for the increased safety of all.

Keep Active

It is incredibly important in confined spaces to keep your mind and your body active. Bung on a fitness DVD, check out what’s on Youtube, stick on some tunes and have a party for 1 or follow our Sexercise Guide for further tips. Our guide provides the best positions to burn maximum calories!

Eat Well

A consistent, healthy  diet is vital to staying healthy – even though fad diets and fast foods will tell you otherwise. Plan your meals so as not to graze your way through the day, and try to be aware about it.

Communicate With Others

If you’re with others this is where the art of communication is going to come in handy. Talk through any conflicts, and air them so you can all work together to be on the same team and feel you are united against the problem. Make sure you all have a private place to retreat to should you need the space to decompress.

Perhaps look for external communication and get chatting on the Killing Kittens site! Who knows with whom you might connect? If you do connect on the site, you might find it is a great place to share stories, have some cheeky banter, post pictures and feel supported.

Stay Playful!

Reach for the lube, the vibrator, the restraints and get playing. Use this time to reconnect physically with yourself, and with your partner/s. Just a word of warning: if you decide now is the time to experiment with BDSM, proceed with caution. If you are thinking of trying something new, have a read of our Beginner’s Guide to BDSM.

Treat Your Ears

Listen to the new all singing and dancing KK Podcast! Launched two weeks ago, this opinion-dividing, debate-deducing series offers a brilliantly honest and open discussion on everything!  From sex and relationships, to body image and kinks, the KK podcast delves deep and delivers an incredibly insightful array of opinions. Our guests have one thing in common: no one is afraid to talk about sex, and nothing is off limits!

Above all, if you’re confused about how to self-isolate, why to self-isolate, or are unsure of the symptoms of Coronavirus then head here for further advice. In these strange times we are able to come together as a virtual community, and we can’t wait to see you in person on the other side.
