A different kind of change has been seen with the sale of condoms in India passing through the roof. Many retailers have seen sales increase by about 25% to 50%.
The coronavirus pandemic has lead to worldwide anxiety but has also increased closeness among couples who are immersed in busy lives, unable to find time to live together.
With this increased affinity, many chemists, as well as e-commerce sites, are revealing increased sales of condoms and contraceptive capsules.
A medical shop owner in South Mumbai, Harshal Shah said: "People have a lot of time now, and they get bored at home. People generally prefer to buy a pack of three, but in the last week, most have purchased packs of 10 and 20."
"Our mask stock is over, chloroquine and vitamin C are ordered by many people, and condom sales also rise," reported Shah Nawaz of Loyal Pharmacy, New Friends Colony area, South Delhi.
Buying condoms is not considered an interdict. Interestingly, women also do not hesitate to buy condoms.
Ghaziabad resident couple Nikita Srivastava (26) and Gaurav Mathur (29) said they would find out more about each other in this period.
"We had separate batches at our offices initially, but now even with different shifts, But we'll get to spend more time with each other. We talk about it with our doctor, and he recommended a physical relationship is not difficult as long as we both are not influenced by the virus," said Nikita.
In Gaurav's vision, the circumstances are "actually fine for them as a couple. He said "And it's not just about having more closeness than before. We gossip, talk, plan our future, share secrets. I am finding so many fascinating things about her that I didn't know before. I believe we are in a fine place now."
Sales of sex toys have also raised since the Janta curfew. An online store sex toy seller in India said that they have seen a 10-15% more sale in sex toys but they have a delivery issue.
