Sex after covid: what do we know?:

“Research around COVID’s effect on sexuality is nearly non-existent, and most of what’s been studied revolves around not spreading it during sex (glory holes) and how quarantine impacts libido and relationships (poorly). Save for some limited research around erectile dysfunction — which many experts believe should be added to COVID’s official list of symptoms — little is known about the way the virus affects the sex lives of those who survive it, and discussions are just now starting to be had about the changes to libido and sensation it can bring.”

How do circadian rhythms impact sex?:

“There’s little to no evidence that attraction is based on shared sleep-wake cycles, and circadian rhythms function nothing like one’s natural musk (i.e., there’s no innate impulse that attracts night owls to other night owls). But that doesn’t mean there’s no such thing as sleep compatibility, and how well a couple matches in that department can have a big effect.”
