“…Governments of many countries ordered to close down gathering spaces and promote social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

“…Further, the restrictions on physical mobility might have not only disrupted the social lives of many individuals but also paused their sexual lives [11,12]. To cope with these disruptions in sexual lives, in addition to the on-going stress and boredom due to the lockdown, individuals could also rely on pornography [11,13]. Reports revealed a 33% average increase in pornwatching during the lockdown period (March 2020) in India [14].…”
