Who knows whether any relative normalcy will return anytime soon? Could be a month. Could be several. Dovetailing with the other thread on why people aren't ceasing tickling activities (which also puzzles me, as I find the prospect of a ticklee wearing a face mask to be a visual cold shower), I also got to wondering about how the social distancing practice will affect us our community and beyond long-term. With the rise of ASMR, tickling spas in Europe, and "cuddling" therapists over the past decade, it already seemed like at least some people out there were craving to be touched beyond just the usual heavy petting and vanilla sex. Now this, and a new culture that pretty much forbids physical contact among strangers and those greeting others, a mentality that would seem to be affecting even contact with spouses/SOs. It's possible that our community, massage, and other forms of non-penetration touch could be embraced when this dies down a bit (at least somewhat over the summer). It's possible that people could become more open-minded about any and all kinds of touch. Or will society drift in the other direction---the "Demolition Man" direction that memes have touted recently--in which physical contact will be associated strongly with disease and dread? Discuss.
 
Well, just remember.....we had the 1918 flu pandemic, which killed millions of people, and dragged on for over a year....only to see a century of great tickles, not to mention two baby booms, follow. 😉

It doesn't feel that way now, of course - hell, I can barely remember what things were like before this happened, it seems like a dream and it's only been a few weeks! - but I'm sure human behavior will be up to it's old tricks when this dies down.

(On the other hand, this could just be the beginning of a series of pandemics which climate scientists have warned about for decades, only to be ignored and derided so that some people could jerk themselves off to more money than they already had, so you could be right. But in the short term....I think people will live to cuddle again!)
 
I would say, let us not get ahead of ourselves. These measures are exceptional, people should return to touching at some point.

Sure, it's annoying for the ones of us who are single. But I am pretty sure that all the governmental measures in the world will not be able to prevent human interaction on the intimate level for too long, at any rate.

I'd like to remind everyone that as early as the Middle Ages, we have records that each epidemic was systematically followed by a massive orgy. I don't know for you guys but I stand ready 😀

I am actually hoping that all forms of "foot play" such as kissing, caressing, tickling and even fucking (foot jobs) go on the rise as a sort of fetishised social distancing extension because feet are at the opposite ends of people's faces. Just a thought.
 
Everything will return to normal and nothing will really change for the worse, if anything more people will practice better hygiene but that's it.
