The boss of Reckitt Benckiser, which owns Durex condoms, has said people are having less sex because of the coronavirus crisis.
Laxman Narasimhan said condom sales fell in most markets, including the UK, during March as lockdowns limited opportunities for sexual activity. He also said established couples were being less intimate than usual.
“Intimate occasions are going down and that is a manifestation of anxiety,” he said. The firm, which has seen strong sales of other products such as disinfectants and cough syrups, blamed the impact of “stay at home” policies on consumers.
Those in new relationships were also given just a day to decide whether they would move in together or quarantine themselves separately, leaving some couples on hold.
