abstract = {Background: Worldwide, efforts to control SARS-CoV-2 transmission have included lockdowns and restrictions on contact with others, including sexual partners. Our research (Natsal-COVID) indicates that in the UK, 10% of people aged 18–59 had physical or sexual contact with a romantic or sexual partner outside their household (PCOH) during a period in which contact was limited. We explored motivations and decision-making among people reporting PCOH in the four months following the initial national lockdown on 23rd March 2020.},
