The coronavirus pandemic has impacted every aspect of our daily life. Relationships with friends, partners, coworkers, etc., have been particularly affected. A recent study conducted in the United States in 2021 aimed to find out the perspective of American women on the changes brought by the pandemic on their sexual life. According to the survey results, solo-living couples seem to have experienced a more positive impact on their sexual life than cohabiting couples did. Some 64 percent of American solo-living couples had sexual desire more often, while for 64 percent of cohabiting couples, the opposite was the case. Moreover, solo-living couples experienced a lower share of negative interactions with their partner or partners.
