Editor in Chief ’s Letter
The inaugural Sex & Sexuality edition was Attitude’s biggest selling issue of last year. No surprise there, really. As the adage goes: ‘Sex sells.’ And – hold the front page – some people even actually sell sex. One might consider them the smart ones, seeing as most of us are just happy to give it away for free. (Or at least in exchange for a libation or two, depending on your degree of interest.) The phrase ‘more bang for your buck’ seems apt here.
But flippancy aside, it wasn’t just our physical and mental wellbeing that has been on a rollercoaster during Covid; our sex lives have also had their ups and downs. Whether fanning the flames with a long-term lover after a year of lockdowns, or single and desperate to mingle mid-pandemic, sex has sometimes been complicated to negotiate of late.
