In virtual sex, the same rules apply as in real sex: it should be safe and lead to mutual satisfaction.

Quarantine advice on safety during virtual sex.

Virtual sex needs to be safe too
In virtual sex, the same rules apply as in real sex: sex must be safe and consensual. You need to trust the person with whom you are going to have virtual sex. Even if this is your regular partner, take safety precautions as well. If you use a messenger for sex, it is better to choose one that transfers messages directly from one user to another, without storing them on the server. Some couples prefer gaming chats, where you can register under nicknames to maintain anonymity.
If you are having virtual sex with a stranger, make sure that you cannot be recognized in the photo or video. Think about whether this content could harm you if it suddenly goes public. Usually such things lead to cyberbullying, which is quite difficult to get rid of.
Before virtual sex starts, it is important to talk over the the fact that correspondence, photos or videos of this interaction could or could not be saved. This also requires consent. If one of the partners does not want the content to be stored, it must be honestly deleted. This is important in order for both to feel free and secure during virtual sex, to be able to realize their attraction and desire to the fullest.
If at a particular moment the desires of partners for virtual sex do not coincide, this should be respected by other party, and not insisted. The psychological pressure in this situation can be traumatic.
We should remember: the conditions of quarantine, pandemic awareness, panic, anxiety and stress can affect our attraction, arousal and the ability to receive sexual relaxation, because we are spending all its energy on feeling safe in such circumstances. It affects everyone in a different way: some don't want sex at all, and some can only relieve stress through sex. Remember the scenes in films when the characters are in difficult circumstances - bullets whistle, a ship sinks, etc. - and they start having sex. They are so scared that sexual arousal may be the only way to relieve tension. This is not because they really want sex, but because it is calming them down - so people can feel their body and integrity.
Therefore, if you invite your partner into a sexual game at a distance, be prepared that his sexual attraction and arousal may not be the same as yours. And this must be treated with care and mutual respect.

Start a dialogue with a partner
Today, under conditions of quarantine, we have a unique chance to finally start a dialogue with our boyfriend/ girlfriend, partner or lover about what we like and what we don't in our relationships and sex in particular. This is the secret to satisfying both and the road to each other's fantasy world. Unfortunately, most people do not have such a dialogue; this is the main problem in sex.
