Pandemicink is the experience of intense sexual arousal in response to a
real or imagined pandemic. Objects such as masks, latex gloves, and scrubs, for example, are viewed as aesthetically pleasing and
may become fetishes. This paraphilia may also involve behavior such as
doctor-patient role play, participation in remote threesomes, or in extreme cases, edge play scenarios like "
bug-chasing" (seeking out infected individuals or high-risk front-line care workers as sexual partners).
