【text on sexuality eroticism anymore】Why are there so many stock photos of people kissing while wearing face masks?

So,text on sexuality eroticism anymore you're facing a global pandemic and deep in the midst of the Democratic presidential primaries. The concert you bought tickets for months ago got canceled, you’re worried about your parents, trying to ration your toilet paper supply, running short on almond milk, and, it seems, there is no hope.

Or maybe you’re feeling frisky in this new, socially-distant world? Fret not, you are not alone! Stock photographers are in the same (alas, distant) boat with you.

We have no idea why there are so many of this very weird genre of stock photo in the world and it's also unclear if these images were added to stock photo collections before or after the pandemic took over all our lives. But, given the seriousness of the virus outbreak, and the stress, loneliness, joblessness, shortage of medical equipment, and general catastrophe it has brought along with it, we all need a laugh.

Not to mention a little romance. And if you need more than just awkward photos of love in the time of coronavirus, we got you and you and all of you.
