A condom company that controls sexual deterioration due to the epidemic crisis.

Company chief Reckitt Benckiser, which owns the “Durex” brand for condom production, said the company has monitored the decline in sex rates due to the Coronavirus crisis.

Laxman Narasimhan added that condom sales declined in most markets, including Britain, during the month of March, as closure measures limited opportunities for sexual activity.

He also said that intimate encounters between spouses decreased compared to usual.

He added: “Intimate meetings have decreased, and this is one of the expressions of concern.”

The company, which has seen a sharp increase in sales of other products such as antiseptics and cough syrups, has blamed “stay home” policies and their impact on consumers.

Narasimhan said Italians and the British in particular were the least in terms of intimate gatherings, although the opposite was true in China, which is witnessing the lifting of the closure measures.

He added: “We monitor the impact of the virus on the number of intimate encounters in Britain.”

People who do not live in the same house have not been allowed to gather since the closings began in Britain on March 23.

Those who establish new relationships have a period of one day to decide whether to move together or isolate themselves separately.

Crown effect?

Experts predict that the year 2021 will witness an increase in the number of births, due to the opportunities imposed by the mandatory isolation that lead couples to have children.

This view is based on the theory that birth rates are registering strong growth after periods of national crisis, as happened during World War II.

However, other experts opposed this view, arguing that the opposite often happened after epidemics.

Reckitt Benckiser said he expects demand for condoms to pick up in the British market when the closing period ends, as happened in China after posting a decline in its markets.

The company was forced last week to warn consumers against the use of its antiseptics, especially after United States President Donald Trump stated that it could be used to treat coronavirus infection.

The company, which owns brands like “Lisole,” “Dettol,” and “Celette Bang,” said its products should not be used in an “injection, ingestion, or otherwise” method.

Trump later said his comments were “ridiculous”.
