The New York Times has an op-ed out titled, “The Joys of Frivolous Sex” on being single in the age of Covid-19 but it’s one of the comments highlighted by a staffer at the paper of record that’s getting mocked right now on Twitter.
First up, the article:
“There has been no serious effort to confront the particular challenges of what it is to be single — to be alone — in 2020,” writes @mmegannolan. Yet “we are also going through something painful.” https://t.co/1U7N7E33lJ

And now the comment that we’re finding so funny:
“. . .My daughter, age 22, told me she frequently encounters attractive runners when she’s out for a run. Often, they duck off-trail and have a quickie. Relieves the stress!. . .”
And LOL at the “Times Pick”:

Is it even true? Who knows! But some staffer at the Times thought it worthy enough to endorse:
It doesn’t matter, the 20-something year old assistant wants people to think it is — and good
