    I would say (for us) "coping" is a stretch. Its been hardly any different than our usual day to day. Alot more chilled with no running around for kids sports etc. Hubby flies home every weekend and likes to chill, take the boat out, go out for dinner/drinks so the only change there is we stay in and Uber Eats our fave places and save a bucket load on the wine markups lol. Being that its school holidays now anyway, kids are xboxing and Netflixing up a storm..... park most days for some baseball training, lots of swimming and way too much snacking LOL.

    Me being an interstate truck driver, it’s business as usual for me....

    I’m not one to venture out when I’m at home as I prefer to just chill out, watch movies etc with the kids....

    Coping real well
    The house has never been cleaner.
    The laundry is finished.
    The garden is being rejuvenated
    The new coffee table is built

    We both enjoy.

    I'm isolating down the Great Ocean Road at our beach house with my estranged wife. We are besties. Both working from home although l need to travel back soon for few days.

    Life is good. Like a ghost town. No tourists.

    I work. I surf. I exercise on deserted beaches. I know I have it better than most. But l know my life will never return to the way it was.

    Living on the road, between states. With work on hold, I am paused in a new town. My new neighbours welcome me and I enjoy the sense of community that emanates here.
    The warmth of the sun is pure joy. I wander the large yard with my camera and examine the bugs, flora and fungi. This place is quiet and I am comfortable with that, though hearing the kids play in a neighbouring yard makes me smile. Am grateful to have access to a kitchen and bathroom- public facilities are unacessiable.

    Could never have imagined squatting.

    Nothing much has changed in my life as far as routine goes so I’m coping fine with that, what I find challenging is the effect it has on interpersonal relationships. The mixture of health concerns, political issues and complete uncertainty has everybody a bit on edge..it’s interesting to observe how we all respond....

    This will sound kinda weird to some. As an introvert I'm kinda liking this self isolating trend right now, in a strange way.

    Its kinda like recharging my battery and head space, when I'm home. I live in a huge house and there is always something to do or some private area space where I can go too. Once I have had that (charging), I can then reconnect when I go to work etc. So therefore I am coping OK with this whole self isolating trend. It is not new to me.

    Not a huge change for a pair of introverts! The hoarders don't seem to have worked out that the local fruit and veg shop exists, so we're eating well and trying to keep the immune system strong! A few too many bottles of red, but trying to work them off in the garden and walks with the kids. Getting the winter veggies in with our youngest today, plenty of fruit trees to prune over the next while. Into the fire wood prep next week, should have done it weeks ago!

    Work hasn't changed for either of us, we can't work from home and all hell hasn't broken loose yet! Kids are home with a sniffle since we don't want to stress their teachers any more than they already are.

    Stay safe people!

    I have a business that services a regular clientele on a monthly basis. Over the last week lm starting to recieve calls advising that due to the virus ' offices are being closed and employee's will work from home, meaning a request to temporarily suspend my service until the virus settles which could be months. This' of course is giving me " me time ' which i struggle with as over the years I've developed good customer relationships with most clients who ive serviced over many years' and who suddenly cease ?

    Im confident the service will resume when things get back to normal , but in the meantime social isolation has become very very real .. So yes ' im coping ... but with much uncertainty of which way we're heading..

    My (work) days are still essentially the same, although because my intimate other is part of a couple always together, it is illegal for us to see each other now, even for coffee. So that's something I'll miss for a while.

    In the biggest cities cops are moving on people that might be just sitting alone on a park reading the paper because they're not supposed to be doing that, only allowed out for exercising or food etc.

    Being in a smaller area and with a dog I do have some ability and excuse to get out as per usual, although with no markets and distance things he will not get any/many pats from others. Not sure the rules on dog parks.

    Living, eating, working, being together 24/7 is easy to manage.



    Kids long moved out so being friends and liking each other's company still is everything.



    That, and while others were fighting over toilet paper, we were quietly stocking up on numerous bottles of rum and vodka...........

The unfortunate part is Mrs has a new job she can't start as the office got sent home before she could start. Needless to say she is getting a lot of her long put off jobs done 😂😂😘😘

    While living on my own it's the morning coffee run before settling into a new routine that is helping to start the day off right.

    Being able to break up the work day between screen time and relaxing on the rooftop is an added bonus !

    Working from home and catching up on office work and setting diets (horses).

    I travel so much for work it’s actually nice to spend quality time at home to be honest ..... in saying that I do miss going out for a nice dinner with someone.

    Hope everyone is coping well ❤️❤️

    I've had more work this past month than the last 18, people are at home finding jobs that need doing, custom is from regulars and word of mouth, so there you go, trust and reliability are paying off. Getting the Visa card back in black and pumping up the super. The downside is my kids are isolated at their mums and I haven't seen them for 2 weeks, thank goodness for social media.I'm thinking I might go over there this weekend for a driveway meet, we can have coffee and donuts at 2 paces.My original plan was to spend the time getting fit and getting paperwork in order, but not happening just yet, this will probably come into play when winter sets in.Stay well.

    After recieving an EPA notice stating I was living on the the border of 'Significantly Contaminated Land' that coincided with respiratory issues. I put everything into storage and hit the road. Just frustrating dealing with council and EPA with FOI and you get the bill now.

    I am not sure if 'homeless' is fitting, or I am just uncomfortable with it.. I have a mobile bed, so perhaps a gypsy.

    I packed up my rental and move from Sydney to my parents farm to help take care of my terminal mother a few weeks before the lockdown
    I have very little expenses now as my industry has virtually shut what little remote work is lined up is gone
    . So I’m in the place I want to be with lots of beautiful nature and space. Have my guitar, my bike and Netflix.
    In a much better place then many
    Some virtual play friends and chats will help 😊😊
    All the best to everyone doing it tough now

    So, I (MrsOz) lost my part time job 😢 Which I loved!!! Crushed!!

    But as we haven't had a holiday in over 7 years, I'm enjoying relaxing at home with MrOz and our fur babies

    So that's a plus. Didn't realise how exhausted I was, so restong at home (which is our sanctuary) is a big welcome.

    Just hoping everyone does the right thing so this virus crisis can be over sooner rather than later (and hopefully, I can get my job back and everyone else can get theirs back)



    Oh, and really hoping I don't get a tan from standing in front of the open fridge. That's dangerous!!

    So we work in a hospital doing 12 hour shifts, so for three days we go to work ( anxious about catching the C and trying to look after those affected) Days off mean house work, Netflix and isolation. The libido is really down, the C is such a passion killer. Hopefully people don’t stop contacting each other on here, I think mind blowing sex is in order when this all ends.

    I know you have yo put a date up so u can see other dates but quite a few have several dates up.
    We're thinking "hmmmm might give them a wide berth when all this is over"

    Ditto, can't believe the number on datefinder either! Sensualcple2play and Foxy, they show up on the mobile version without needing to post one. Adelaide never has a huge number up, but there's nine horny dudes lined up for Easter and one hopeful couple that's probably forgotten they've got one up looking ahead a few months! It was down to the one couple the other day before all the new ones popped up. We love our friends and family way too much to be going there!

    More than happy to keep paying our membership here, chat with a few and look towards next summer🤞I was almost expecting more people being active on the forum, but not to be at this stage.

    Feeling frustrated as we had a great weekend shortly before the lock down. My favourite sex toy has died, getting a replacement. I have no idea why I’m hornier than ever haha 🤣

    As an introvert, I like a lot of alone time anyway, so I'm fine. I'm also fortunate to be working at home for now, but at the end of a work day - I just have to leave home and go for a long long walk.
    However I am missing my solo sitting jaunts at pubs. But the opportunity to recycle and clean up my space has been great.
    The other benefit from this: the streets are so quiet, it might be time for me to buy a scooter and / or start some street rollerskating.

    Mr is essential so that keeps things going ok through the week



    Mrs is also essential but in the area she works it is slowing due to provisioning for a large influx of C19



    Like many here it's just the social, miss dancing, catch ups etc. But this too shall pass, and the more that think long term the quicker it'll be over.



    We were thinking but don't know how to set it up or who could be trusted so just throwing it out there, while we both have income, some have none, and the government subsidies never quite go far enough for some circumstances, we could send some food packages for those doing it tougher than us. If you know who is reputable and doing such things, or know how to set it up so it's not just going into someone's pocket, we can show some kindness to other humans while we wait for the fun to start again.

    I personally have had dates on datefinder, and left them there as way of trying to find people with similar interests and initiate contact (via distance) in the interim.. Really it is a way of advertising ourselves.

    There is still a high volume of requests for services in the adult industry.. NSW needs to prohibit private workers.

    Hi, is so good to know that these crazy bunch is keeping out in one way or other.

    Life as mentioned by some, carry on almost the sane, just with a bit more care and full of extra procedures. I a fireman, same as all the others direct involved, is a bit hard to just take rime off and stay at hone.

    Wildcrazy, if you find your self in Melbourne, I'm more then happy to offer you a place to stay/park/border until things improve. You don't know me and ider I know you. Just expressing some human solidarity. Please let me know if you need anything that i could help you with.

    Coping is an interesting term as it seems to a moving feast. Mrs MelbCouple is self isolating in country Vic with our son who had to make a sudden unplanned return from USA.

    So I’m in Docklands alone for the most part. Working from home which whilst not very social is better than no work at all. With wife away of course I go through stages of rampant horniness but I’ll survive. For now.

    I'm assuming they've closed parlours in NSW? Chat on one of the other sites was that there were hundreds of provider ads up, mainly Asian but no one policing. I can't imagine having your source of income taken away overnight! It must be a nightmare for everyone in the adult industry, especially if you're from OS and have no rights to social welfare. I can't start to understand it all!
    Hope you've got heat if you're in the Blue Mountains over winter! Keep safe...

    So nice to hear so many people loving this and coping well.

    Not everyone is - if you have single friends living alone and now working from home, who are usually very social - keep checking on them.

    They know this is temporary, and that really they have no reason to complain, and they are probably ok most of the time. And they will probably tell you they are ok, because really, what can you do if they’re not.

    ...But sometimes it hits them, and even though they are normally stable people with their shit together - sometimes in this isolation, they are really really not okay.

    Bad times to be a single guy. Missing the human touch. All the Netflix binges, Amazon binges, tinder swipes and rhp can just not fulfill the need of human interaction. Lol. But there are bigger issues happening and hence going through this.

    Hope this ends soon.

    There is such a wide gap between us introverts and our extrovert friends, it's hard to comprehend.

    It's easy to say settle when they offload about how hard it is for them. My 2 besties are both extroverts (waves). It's all about communication and listening. To the introverts, our friends are now experiencing our nightmares whilst we start to glow. But wipe the smile of our dials and support them

    It's been two and a half weeks in isolation now and it's starting to get monotonous and groundhog day like and my moods are erratic. Working from home, at an essential job that doesn't really work that well from home, and it's difficult. Trying to support people with mental health issues when I'm not feeling that great myself and there's no base line for this situation we are in. Trying to home school my child at the same time or at least motivate him to do some of it. He's an extrovert and isn't coping that well. Can't see my lover and I miss him. Not sleeping wellToday was kind of shitty.
    There are plenty of positives as well. I'm just not in positive land right now. I'll bounce back. I'm luckier and better off than most of the people in the world who are having to deal with this. I'm still thankful as well and I know I have it good compared to many others.
    I'm hoping isolation won't go on any longer than three months.

    Personal health and family health are wonderful motivators to cope with it to the best of everyone’s ability. The big test will come 2-3 months or even more down the track because it’s not going to be over anytime soon . We got a puppy, Netflix is getting a workout, started a small herb and vege garden in the backyard. Thankfully for my SO’s sanity and our finances my employment has been deemed essential. Measures have been put into place to protect employees and the public alike. The weirdest thing about it is seeing all the pubs & clubs closed early hours of the day.

    It seems Vic at least will be making an exemption to see a partner you don't live with. But all states have slightly different rules. But if either or both of you live with anyone else (eg housemates), the "social" group would comprise more than two and disallowed. Seeing immediate family socially is also perhaps not allowed (except actual caregiving and support). For either such partner or family you can though exercise together as two people only. But I'm worried if/how some relationships might last or fail due to a long state sanctioned seperation, that now cannot see each other. Some say strict social distancing laws could remain for many (more) months, or longer :( Sure, Mrs Palmer helps yourself at certain moments, but doesn't help your relationship. Maybe have to take a leaf out of book of other partners that get seperated for durations, such as those in the armed forces etc? Connect via Skype/Cam etc?

    I'm single and live alone didn't mind the 1st week, but then it got old quick. However the upside was I had two weeks holiday and two weeks at home. My apartment is very clean and organised, got my monies worth out of netflix and stan. Read a few books, stayed up late and slept in. Only down side is no sex and so if I have to do it again then Im taking a horny hostage this time.

    I felt a bit claustrophobic for the first week or so and watching all the news updates was at first making me anxious but its now been 21 days since we both left the house at all and we both feel perfectly normal and have gotten over all those feelings.
    We both still work from home Monday-Friday (as normal) as we have our own business and so far it hasn't been affected by the current situation so it's business as normal for us work wise.
    We both miss going out and partying on Friday nights, seeing our family and swinging but at the same time we place more importance on keeping safe and healthy as Mr has underlying health issues with his lungs that put him in the 'high risk' category.
    We brought a playstation 4 to help pass the time and some gym equipment to train and get all our food and supplies delivered so we are good. Luckily we are also both introverts so I feel we are not as effects as the extroverts.

    Coping ok. My job hasn't changed (yet) - I'm still working shiftwork just like normal because my job (in transport) is considered 'essential' and apart from having trouble getting stuff from the shops because of my shiftwork combined with every man and his dog panic-buying due to mass corona virus hysteria it's fine.
    I'm single so can't 'isolate' with anyone. Dating is out (it's against the rules).

    Hasn’t changed to much apart from this Easter weekend first time in over 10 years I have not gone away but Newcastle isn’t to bad of a place to be stuck a quick 1 hour loop into nobbys beach and back on the pushbike of an afternoon for a bit of exercise and my boys over for the weekend has been great , work is still solid in the civil construction side have not noticed at all there and my prediction is after the Easter break is there will be a light at the end of the tunnel and it won’t be to long and we will see changes for the better

    Our jobs are classed as essential but we can still work from home and we are self isolating together which is fun at least!We are doing fitness classes pole classes and going for walks as well as exploring with each other new things we hadnt considered.Looking forward to meeting up with friends for fun again when this settles down.

    I work in an essential service so nothing much has changed, just been a few changes to shift start times and tasking due to resource management.



    In the unlikely event that I do get stuck at home, between the PS4 and guitar I should be able to keep myself sane.

    Still working, mostly at the office, with 1-2 days a week at home if I can wrangle it. The next couple of weeks will be pretty busy and hopefully all the plans we have put in place work out! If they don't...well my local bottle shop might get really busy 🥂

    I miss my family and my friends, not being able see them and give big hugs, sit down in person; that is the hardest. Chatting to a 4 year old on video chat is not the same as lying on the floor playing trains and stacks on Aunty. 😞🚅

    Exercise has probably increased so I can burn off some energy and collapse in bed physically knackered. Fortunately I have some great walking tracks through bushland quite near me, and I am really enjoying the walks, listening to all the birds, frogs and the wind in the trees. And reading...the joys of snuggling up on the couch with the fur child, glass of something yummy next to me. Ahh... the serenity!

    That is one positive thing I hope comes out of this; that people rediscover the joys of simplicity and being idle. It is a lost art; being able to be content without having to fill all our time with busy stuff.

    Wife and I were getting on each other's nerves at the start of social distancing.
    But we got over that and had mind blowing marathon sex last night.

    I'm kinda enjoying it...
    Two weeks living at home alone. Im working from home and loving it: no constant interruptions with people walking into my office asking hypothetical questions. They have to compose an email with all the information and tjat slows them down.

    I get out to the beach & bushland to run and cycle and swim - beaches still open in WA

    Only after two weeks did i bother to read the Covid rules and discover you are allowed one visitor at your house. So now on the hunt for a guest...

    At least in Victoria and probably other states, you are allowed an exercise outdoor routine with one other person. Which makes a walk and talk possibly a dating activity...

    Same here.
    Another great thing about living in a small beach town, is that we're already isolated.
    My life hasnt really changed at all.
    Maybe for the better over easter, because there are no tourists here to clog up the beaches, although the local small, tourism related businesses wouldn't agree.
    Poor buggers are struggling.
    I still surf every day, my airbnbs are still booked for essential workers (down south) so theres still a bit of coin coming in.

    The cafes are still open for takeaways, so I still get to see my friends, safely, and I've been getting meals provided from various keto, vegetarian and other sources for a few years, due to various factors, including renovations, laziness, batching, no kitchen, no sink, no fridge at one stage, etc, so I'm just continuing that lifestyle.

    No hugging, kissing and writhing is a bummer though, I like to squeeze my friends and let them know, physically, that theyre important.

    My membership just lapsed because I forgot to update credit card details, but for now, it's a moot point anyway with no meetings and little responses to prior messages anyway. Perhaps some new members will join in this lockdown period and a new lease of life ensues when we can gradually get back to normal :)

    Kind of coping.

    Ms PF has holidays and is slowing going crazy. ( that’s of course if sanity was the status prior) 🤔
    Mr PF is trying to to deal with a going crazy Ms PF ( although maybe Mr PF is already and Ms PF is catching up? )
    Mr n Ms PF have binged watched more Netflix than one cares to think about.

    Ms PF has created a home boot camp for the family.
    The dogs are getting extra walks.
    We have an in home nail salon courtesy of our lil friend Eiliethiya.

    Mr PF has told his work that he shall be taking a sickie when the lake opens up and the poor bastard can go for a ski. Mr PF is delusional on this one no doubt.

    Yeah, I think we’re coping 🤷‍♂️

    Oh, there’s lots of cuddling.. 😬

    It’s more of an annoyance than anything, we have jobs, clean water, food supply, sanitation, electricity and of course our health. Makes it easy to cope when compared to other crisis.

    Someone I'm chatting to privately was talking about 'zoom dates'. Who else has tried something like that and how did it work out for you? Is it something really workable more for couples?

    Victoria has finally become the last state to ease some restrictions.

    I'm still trying to get my head around the mixed messages though, and the differences between law and advice. They say you can now visit friends and families with limited group sizes, or spend time outside eg a group picnic, but just like shopping they still advise to only get what you "need" and only do what you "need". But I've already shopped for a new couch and I've already brought new DVDs at JB Hi-Fi; neither were "necessary" but if the shop was legally allowed to trade, it would be very hard to say that you shopping there was illegal.

    The advice though now is still to only spend time with friends and families if you really need to. One would say you need to generally in order to maintain healthy friendships and relationships, and check on their well-being. But then you don't "need" to as in it's not a requirement for your immediate life and livelihood so to speak.

    So there's a difference between what the law says and what the advice says. Advice says you should still physical distance visiting friends and family (ie no touching), but it is actually a law? It seems to possibly be a law while in groups outside, could you be fined for hugging someone you don't live with if they saw it outside?

    Obviously this is a type of community where people do stuff that other people perhaps might say they shouldn't... So my question now is where have people been drawing the line? Have you been avoiding physical contact with friends and family even when you have legally spent time together? Are you happy to have sex with a lover you don't live with? Will people start to ask for a covid test as well an sti test?

    I'm dealing with a crisis not related to the virus, I have faith things will be okay again soon. There are moments of anxiety as well as deep sadness amid those feelings I am making sure I keep my self care in check.
