Having sex with someone from outside of your household is set to become illegal in England today, as the government cracks down on people gathering in private spaces.
Until now, the person visiting a house for sex would have been in breach of the measures. But as of today, both could face prosecution under the Amendment Regulations – a bill set to be introduced in Parliament to reinforce coronavirus lockdown measures.
The new regulations state: “No person may participate in a gathering which takes place in a public or private place indoors, and consists of two or more persons.” Only those with “reasonable excuses” will be allowed to gather privately.
