Summary:Objective: compare and analyze the implications of COVID-19 on the sexual health of Mexican gay and bisexual young and adult men (GBM). Method: an online survey with 1001 GBM participants. Information was collected on sexual desire, use of mobile applications, sexual practices during the pandemic, and prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) from August to October 2020. Young participants were compared with adults. Results: Young GBM reported more challenges to their sexual health in the pandemic. There was an increase in sexual desire, mobile applications, and a decrease in access to STIs prevention supplies. Discussion: Implications for sexual health policies for these groups during health contingencies are discussed.
