latest update to the New York City Department of Health’s notoriously graphic guidelines for safer sex during the COVID-19 pandemic, the agency is urging residents to be creative but “play safer” — especially by getting vaccinated before engaging in what some have dubbed the “slutty summer” of 2021.New Yorkers should actually “avoid sex parties,” they write — but for those who “insist” on getting their groove fully back this summer, the city explains that it’s imperative to get vaxxed before you attend “get-togethers with large groups; have group sex, multiple sex partners or sex with people you do not know.”And by all means — “pick larger, more open and well-ventilated spaces” for orgy action.
