The “Safer Sex, Social Gatherings, and Monkeypox” guide from the CDC said it is “not considered a sexually transmitted disease,” but the advice suggests otherwise.

“If you or a partner has monkeypox, the best way to protect yourself and others is to avoid sex of any kind (oral, anal, vaginal) and do not kiss or touch each other’s bodies while you are sick, especially any rash,” the CDC said. “Do not share things like towels, fetish gear, sex toys, and toothbrushes.”

For the sexually active worried about getting monkeypox, the CDC offers several things as advice:
- Have virtual sex with no in-person contact.
- Masturbate together at a distance, without touching each other and without touching any rash.
- Limit your number of sex partners to reduce your likelihood of exposure.
- Remember to wash your hands, fetish gear, sex toys, and any fabrics (bedding, towels, clothes) after having sex.
- Spaces like back rooms, saunas, sex clubs, or private and public sex parties where intimate, often anonymous sexual contact with multiple partners occurs—are more likely to spread monkeypox.
- Consider having sex with your clothes on or covering areas where rash is present, reducing as much skin-to-skin contact as possible. Leather or latex gear also provides a barrier to skin-to-skin contact; just be sure to change or clean clothes/gear between partners and after use.
- Condoms (latex or polyurethane) may protect your anus (butthole), mouth, penis, or vagina from exposure to monkeypox. However, condoms alone may not prevent all exposures to monkeypox, since the rash can occur on other parts of the body.
The bizarre guide ends with a section on how someone can “lower the chance of getting monkeypox at places like raves, parties, clubs, and festivals.”
