Od początku 2020 roku pandemia COVID-19 oraz ograniczenia, takie jak blokada i dystans społeczny, mają wpływ na życie ludzi. W niniejszym artykule chcemy przeanalizować, w jaki sposób zamknięcie (restrykcje) we wczesnej fazie epidemii wpłynęło na relacje seksualne w związkach intymnych w Polsce i Japonii. W tym celu dokonano pomiarów metodą ilościową z wykorzystaniem zaadaptowanego do wymogów badania kwestionariusza autorstwa Barbary Rothmüller w wersji online. Następnie dokonano porównań pomiędzy grupą polską i japońską. Wyniki odniesiono do dotychczasowej wiedzy w zakresie badanego zjawiska. Poczynione obserwacje pozwoliły zanotować kilka istotnych statystycznie różnic występujących pomiędzy badanymi grupami oraz obszary, w których osoby badane z próby japońskiej i polskiej nie różniły się od siebie w sposób znaczący. Obserwowany odmienny rozkład udzielanych odpowiedzi dotyczył w dużej mierze dynamiki deklarowanych zmian w obszarze zachowań seksualnych, która okazała się wyższa w grupie osób pochodzenia japońskiego. Rozważania podjęto w obszarze różnic pomiędzy kulturami wschodnimi i zachodnimi oraz specyfiki obu uwzględnionych krajów, które będąc mało zróżnicowane kulturowo, funkcjonują jednak w erze globalizacji.

Since the beginning of 2020, COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions, such as lockdown and social distance) have had an impact on people’s lives. In this paper, our aim is to analyze how the lockdown (restrictions) in the early stage of the outbreak had an impact on sexuality in intimate relationships among the people in Poland and Japan. Online surveys were conducted in both countries. For this purpose, measurements were performed using the quantitative method with the use of an online questionnaire by Barbara Rothmüller adapted to the requirements of the study. Then comparisons were made between the Polish and Japanese groups. The results were compared to the existing knowledge in the field of the studied phenomenon. The observations made allowed to note several statistically significant differences between the studied groups and the areas in which the subjects from the Japanese and Polish samples did not differ significantly from each other. The observed differences mostly concerned the dynamic of the declared changes in the area of sexual behavior, which turned out to be higher in the Japanese group. The theoretical depiction refers to the differences between eastern and western cultures and the specificity of Poland and Japan, which, being culturally homogenous, function in the era of globalization.
