Thats great news, I think from July 4th most if not all of us will be able to work at the rate things are going, I would expect to hear more next week.

One thing confuses me though, to get my roots done, my hairdresser will have to be right on top of me, she cant do it from a 1 meter distance.  As a dominatrix, I can do plenty with the 1 meter gap, and wear PPE if needed, and yet I cant work, even one client a day.

Several local massage places near me, the non sexual ones are already taking appointments from July 4th blatently on their websites.

We will need a list of serviced apartments that are workable on here ....  From others' experience.  I haven't tried them yet.

On the news it said the difference between a hairdresser and something like beauty theraphy is beauty theraphy is more face to face contact and droplets etc are more likely to be shared. Made sense to me sort of hair dressers usually stay around the back of a person. Also they can both wear masks. I really want to get my nails, eyebrow be eyelashes done. But looks like I can get a hair cut sort of confusing. Also no shoyo workers and hardly anyone on trains wears a mask here so I'm confused. Tbh I think not many are following social distancing or masks. But I think you'd have a higher chance of getting it from kissing. I think you need to weigh up risk. I am personally. I hope to start again in a week or two.

The nail girl can easily do the nails from  behind a screen. I’ve even seen some doing it through the door!

I think for those Escorts that work from hotels hotels will be unworkable for the future

I disagree, hotels need business, tourists and lots of people in order  to survive. they cannot be furloughed for too long. I believe that with the 2 week travelling quarantine (of people coming into the UK), the present "fear of catching the virus" and the public having to cut costs hotels will take a little while to go back to normal. It's going to be a slow process. Of course this is going to affect the touring escort ( just like it's affecting my local coffeshop or my regular chiropractor). All the businesses that involve physical presence of clients are hurting right now, and the escort industry is just another business that requires physical presence of clients. I believe things will go slowly back to normal in september, but it's going to be a "steep climb" and not all will be able to survive it I'm afraid.

I’m not even sure the hotels will keep up with the whole giving names in thing. It’s probably going to be like most other things, at first they will man the doors like Buckingham palace but give it a week and they’ll start to relax. I can’t wait for the 4th so I can do a drive around of my favourite haunts and see what the script is. Gyms being closed is a bit of a fucker cause that’s even less traffic

Yea. And given they are opening pubs for some reason, it all seems a bit academic. All of this is super arbitrary notwithstanding the ‘what the hell are the rules on us sex workers???’  ???

They do need the business, but I think the issues are as RB1 states - they may be OK with normal guests, but not loads of people tramping through the hotel and visiting rooms at random.

Removing kissing will not stop you catching the virus.  Regardless  if you kiss or not means nothing in catching it.  Its basically the proximity of distance which affects your chances in catching it and as our work involves intimate close counters means the likelihood of catching the virus is highly increased.

I'm going to stop my 15 min quickies and only see clients an hour or longer to keep to my baseline of £1350 earnings per week. X

Hi and so I had my first week back to work and actually feel shattered and was very busy, My regulars all wanted to book and my phone was very busy. Still got the usual time wasters or odd ones. It really felt great to earn some money and get back into the saddle lol. But the worry of neighbours seeing guys come and go was heavy on my mind. I asked my regulars to carry a briefcase or clipboard lol I limited it to 3 a day , 2 day and one evening and with that heat I just did evening.

Sounds like hotels will be difficult, I want to book a serviced apartments because working from my flat feels more risky now with all the covid rules.

I gave services as usual, French kissing too. I have been in lockdown 3 months prior.

But I do feel very nervous with others watching my home as more people are home.

I wondered how providers that just do domination are finding it, or are planning on going back soon?  I am really confused as to what to do, session wise there is plenty I can do with the required social distancing coming down to 1 metre.

I'm a domme, things have been on the quieter side of normal since I got back. You know, like every week is like the last week of the month. Some guys are asking for more distance services like voyeurism but in the main they want things as normal. My personal feeling is once I'm stuck in a room with someone for an hour plus, my transmission risk is already high and so I don't make any special measures and I do offer more sensual domination, but as you say you could offer the more distant stuff only. You might find it different but because I'm more  a sensual domme if I didn't offer these things my client numbers would not be at the quiet end of normal, it'd be dead.

Thanks for the reply burly burlesque, you have confirmed what I thought, I think later in July when more things open it should get busier hopefully. I can see more ladies who are opening around July 4th.

Very busy here, first week back has been flooded with calls and messages. Might as well make the most of it as I imagine the business will go quiet towards the end of year following that huge COVID-19 overreaction and resulting economy being in tatters thanks to that, the scaremongering about the “second wave” and punters being more careful with money.
