G&STC's Therapist in Training Sula Malina talks with Kelsey Borresen about The Future of One Night Stands in the Age of Coronavirus.

Check out G&STC’s therapist in training Sula Malina talking with Kelsey Borresen at the Huffington Post about the future of one night stands amidst the age of coronavirus.

Here are some highlights:

Navigating stigma:

“Given the sex-negativity that permeates today’s society, many people already perceived one-night stands as in some way ‘immoral.’ This has likely only been compounded by messages of social distancing as the morally ‘right’ thing to do.”

“Typically, the decision to have one-night stands impacts only ourselves and our partners,” they added. “These days, however, the activity has more widespread implications.”

Considering residual fear:

“We are experiencing this pandemic as a collective trauma; understandably, it will take some time for us to move out of our natural fight-or-flight response and into total comfort with physical contact.”
