Two months of confinement inevitably mark the sexuality of a couple. When some people see their libido decrease, others worry about not knowing how to stop. This is the case of Quentin, who questions the sexologist and psychoanalyst Catherine Blanc in the program "Sans rendez-vous", on Europe 1, on the means of channeling this excess libido.
Quentin's question, 35
I have been confined with my girlfriend for two months, but we don't stop making love anymore when I should telework. I can't concentrate anymore and it slips too regularly. How to channel this excessive libido?

Catherine Blanc's response
We do not know the youth of this couple. Maybe they just met and are in a bubble, and suddenly the world no longer exists as two lovers who meet. They can spend days making love without realizing the passage of time, and there they manage to make it over the length of these two months of confinement.
On the other hand, if it is a couple of longer date in this same boiling, one can ask the question of a certain monomaniac reaction. You have to wonder what is the share of fantasy and the share of reality. Here, they are only fixed on something sexual, and when we are eminently sexual and always in desire and excitement, the era of the brain which allows reasoning, reflection, taking distance, getting back into place and the order of priorities can no longer do its job because it is extinguished in favor of something more animal and instinctual which harms the professional framework. However, it would be a shame if this couple, not to channel sexuality, end up hurting themselves by harming their professional emergencies.

In a context like the health crisis and confinement, there is also an idea of tasting life while there is still time. It is to consume before it is too late, and in this case, it is a sexuality carried more by anxiety than by jubilation and effervescence. There is something very adolescent too, because work does not force us. Something so lively and surprising that it gives priority priority to everything. We forget to eat it, we forget the work, the schedules and the passing of time.
It is a good thing as long as the members of the couple do not socialize, they will have benefited from confinement, they will simply not have to ask themselves the same thing once they are out of confinement because that there, it would be very excluding from the world.
