The clubs are shut. The pubs are shut. Tinder dates are cancelled. One-night stands are literally illegal. But, despite these obvious hurdles, coronavirus has still created a sex industry sales boom. Long-established brands, like Sweden’s Lelo have been surprised by the surge of interest (site traffic increased by 48%, sales by 56%). “That amount of traffic is 7.7% higher even than the recent Christmas period, which is generally our busiest trading period,” says Lelo brand manager Stuart Nugent. Czech internet sex shops are also experiencing a business boom. For example, in March the online store RuzovySlon.cz increased the sales year-on-year by 50 percent, in the first week of April even by one hundred percent. New customers are increasing, existing clients are also spending more. “We’re selling a lot of beginner toys… all our beginner ranges are very popular. It definitely looks like people are saying: ‘I’ve got time, I might try something new,” said Adam Durčák from RuzovySlon.cz. Demand for disinfectants has increased as well, but vibrators, womanizers, vacuum balls and aphrodisiacs are leading the sales. “Masturbators for men are sold significantly more than before,” added Durčák. A similar trend was seen by City Realex, which run the Erotic City...
Czech Television said Monday it was planning to shoot a “Love in the Time of Corona” sitcom on the spread of the novel coronavirus and screen it by the end of April. “One house, three generations and a global pandemic,” reads the trailer for the six-episode series on the public broadcaster’s website. The show, an apparent paraphrase of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novel “Love in the Time of Cholera”, will be filmed in a Prague block of flats from April 14 and screened from April 27. The characters are a teenager whose parents are locked down abroad, an old man who has to live on his own with his wife stuck outside their city and a young married couple whose relationship is put to an isolation test, Czech TV said. It called on viewers to send in anecdotes related to quarantine as the authors have the script only for the opening episode. “We only have one screenplay and we’ll definitely need help,” said producer Tomas Baldynsky. To comply with stringent security measures, the series will be recorded on robotic cameras and only the actors will be present on the site. The Czech Republic, which had declared 4,591 cases of the virus...

For people who never worked from home or for those parents who have to take care of their kids while working from home, this may be a challenge. As someone who works from home for a couple of years, I know how hard it is to get some regime and not get lazy. However, with the quarantine, I had to adjust my daily routine as well. Here are my tips on how to stick to your work routine while at home but also, how to not get crazy in general. 1. Change into normal clothes and put yourself in order To me personally make a huge difference if I do my morning routine as I would getting ready into an office or a meeting. Days, when I was less productive, were when I stayed in my pajamas all day with messy hair. Take a shower, make yourself pretty and wear some normal clothes.
