"Maybe we’re all just hornier because human contact that won’t kill us."

I think this is a huge part of it. There are people I love who I haven't touched or even seen in 16 months. Now that's changing, and there's a lot of pent-up need for any kind of contact.

I think the best way to describe it is that we've been in a long-distance relationship with the entire world since March 2020, and now we've gotten to that point where you're about to see your partner for the first time in way too long. Make sure there's a comfortable spot near the door, because you aren't going to get very far.
