ABSTRACT

@#Human infection with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has provoked public health concerns over sexual health. The novel coronavirus is a serious threat to public health. Evidence suggests that one of the major concerns of couples is sexual intercourse during the novel coronavirus pandemic. Detection of sexual challenge in novel coronavirus pandemic, as one of the risk factors, can promote sexual health. Knowledge about the new coronavirus is limited; little information is available about COVID-19 and sex life during the pandemic. In this review, we summarized the latest research and related reports of the new coronavirus and sex lives and discussed them to protect the sexual health in order to combat COVID-19. To this end, strategies have been proposed to increase sexual health and reduce sexual challenges so that we can avoid the harmful outcome of this virus. We hope that following and applying the sexual health guidelines will be able to overcome this difficulty with the least physical, mental, and social harm. Furthermore, special attention is expected from responsible authorities or public health officials to develop strategic planning for promoting sexual health and improving family relationships during the pandemic of coronavirus.
