Is anyone finding it slower in areas with the new Covid restrictions? I’m hoping it will pick up when people realise it’s the same just more restrictions.

Yes, I am. In north west and only had one booking all week!  ::)

My guess is things will slow down in the run up to Christmas if anything.

Was very busy and doubled my weekly targets but things are slowing down. Noticed drop off genuine enquiries and my phone is exploding with Timewasters.
I agree with you. I don’t think it will get any better and planning Mid October/November hibernation.

October/November has been dire the past couple of years for me. I’m not expecting it to be any better if not worse this year, but just gotta get with it I guess. It’s tough in Scotland as we have harsher restrictions.

I've found covid has also brought an increase of time wasters and this for me is the most frustrating part. Having to balance that with a lower amount of bookings is definitely difficult, I'm looking to try secure some part time work so I am not reliant on escorting. Especially as we don't know what's going to happen. With cases on the rise we could easily go into a second lockdown

Covid has definitely brought in the time wasters in droves and my only response to all new texts is no deposit not booking. Gets rid of them in a flash.

I have to say I'm getting no time wasters, although I can spot them quite easily. I'm also getting my four a day. That's all I need so I'm busyish.

I’m not that far from Worcestershire and same for me. I think it’s to do with first Birmingham then Wolverhampton being in special measures and this is affecting neighbouring areas.

I think this is really making a difference. I am struggling to get a few bookings a week and I think it’s the same for a lot of people. I think those who are doing okay it’s partly to do with luck and partly to do with location.

NUM have provided us with some food vouchers to give out to SAAFE members who may be suffering extreme final hardship at the moment and struggling to feed themselves as a result; the vouchers are for either Tesco or ASDA and can be spent instore.

The offer is not conditional and available for anybody involved in sex work - we will send you a link to a survey NUM have set up requesting feedback and it would be very helpful if anybody in receipt of a voucher could fill it in, but that's all. You only need an email address and we don't need any personal details from you :)

Please PM me or the SAAFE admin account for more information. We only have a limited number, but we'll do our best :)

I'm just reposting/bumping the above since we still have a few vouchers left after NUM kindly sent us some more. Anybody who is really struggling with new restrictions or whatever, just get in touch :).

I was doing really well to the point I didn’t even have to do available on aw I was booking up with pre bookings but today has been dire, I’ve had 3 pre booking with regulars but have been dead since 5pm, I’ve had two phone calls one was obviously looking to get off on chatting and the other had 3 warnings for filming without permission. It’s the most quiet I’ve been in a while and the only time that I can remember not getting a same day booking. Hoping it’s a one off

Same here, it was going really well since I came back until this week, 2 bookings in 5 days that only total 90 mins.
Virtually all calls are from guys I've blocked previously or have down as timewasters because my block list is full!
Agree that all the recent news reports are scaring the shit out of everyone even though all the new cases are mainly students who are not massively affected and the elderly mostly  in nursing homes. Seems the government won't be happy until the economy has totally flatlined.

I would imagine the younger escorts are especially struggling as presumably many will imagine those in their twenties may be students and are at a higher risk of being infected.

Well it seems I'm in a Covid hot spot and I've only done two today. I think Johnson is making an announcement on Monday re local areas. I'm getting worried again and might start insisting on mask use. Sounds ridiculous I know but if he wears one while I do my thing and vice versa. I might even stop again for a while.
