Please note that the virus isn’t airborne it’s from skin to skin contact

Venus, you really need to read, comprehend and digest news from reliable sources! It's spread just like colds and flu: aerosols from sneezing, coughing etc. and can survive on surfaces for a while.

Will anyone still be touring? I’m going to carry on working (because I have bills to pay and I can’t afford to take months off work) but I’m wondering if I should stay close to home or if I should tour

No because I’ve been all around the country averaging 2 jobs a day rather than 6. I have taken to working local to where I live which is rubbish cause it’s south West. But I would rather not have the hotel costs for now. I am subsidising by working on 3 diff cam sights and selling lingerie on Aw and advertising Skype shows. Then if you still don’t have enough for rent and bills you go and get working tax credit top ups. The government is very aware of self employment being hit and have measures to help us through this year.

This last tour I did last week was the worst ever and it was affecting my anxiety. Plus I have elderly relatives to think of I’m in a real state worrying about it all.

As in how?  Would you mind elaborating?

I started to look into Skype, noticed they don't allow pornography or have I read it wrong?

I’ve been advised to self isolate until next Thursday so I imagine my bookings are going to be dreadful, on account of me not being able to see anyone. Nightmare. I was hoping to try and get a good few in before it really hits the fan!

You're correct. They don't. That doesn't stop people using it for that though! Just be careful regarding profile wording and photo etc.

Just a few days? The current government advice is 2 weeks.

Is anyone lowering their rates or thinking about dropping their rates under the current circumstances?

From reading the "slow at the minute" thread I have noticed some ladies haven't noticed a drop in clients yet but if you do notice a drop, would you?

One thread per subject, please :)

Anybody can change their rates to whatever they like, but I can't see what this has to do with it? If a punter is that worried about being ill, are they suddenly going to be less worried because they'll save twenty quid? Meanwhile, getting less money for doing the same amount of work if things are tight doesn't sound like the way forward to me.

An alternative idea for those who decided to keep working could be raising the rates and calling it a 'biohazard tax'.

No no no if there not coming because of CV that is not going to help and looks desperate. That is the last thing i would do but that is just my view.

Well as far as I'm concerned, danger money for potential illness is and has always been included in my rates. As far as I'm aware, every single other health condition that can possibly be caught from other people via intimate contact or otherwise hasn't magically been eradicated overnight, although anybody using the crapper news sources would be forgiven for thinking it had ::)
