I just did my first tour earlier this month and I had hand gel, anti-bac wipes to wipe surfaces and anti-bac spray to use on bedding etc after each client. If it's not something you already require you can make it that everyone has to have showers. I didn't make it a requirement for everyone as a few of my bookings were just breast relief and cob so reduced the amount of towels being used, however anyone not having a shower did have to thoroughly wash their hands. Apart from that I didn't do anything different from what I would normally do apart from request deposits which I dont really do for tours.

Not offering kissing really isn't going to reduce your risk of catching Covid, or any other airborne viruses.

The only way to ensure you don't catch anything is to continue to not work, (or leave your house for that matter).

I mainly don't kiss or do owo because that reduces my risk of throat infections, especially tonsillitis. I'm a huge introvert, but feel I have to start pushing myself eventually. I went to an event last week and didn't get covid, so feel a little more confident. I don't know how much safer than fully vaccinated I can get. Can't exactly live a sheltered life forever.

Well, there you are then. You already knew the answer.

But as I said, not offering kissing isn't really going to reduce any kind of risk. It doesn't matter if you're in a room with one person or several thousand, there's still a risk of catching Covid. It's up to you to weigh up this risk, which, as you're double vaccinated, does offer you protection against getting seriously ill/being hospitalised.

What is a known fact is that depending on the viral load that is passed to you when catching the virus you'll get more or less ill (this was explained to me by a doctor). Eg: 1) you're in a gym and grab a towel that was used by a Covid positive person, the viral load is minimal and you might get sick or not (depends on your inmune system). If you get sick it won;t be too bad because you got a small viral load. 2) You are sitting in a theater watching a play and the person sitting next to you is coughing for an hour, the viral load you're getting is huge and you will get sick (possibly very). Now apply this equation to sex work/escorting. If you get a covid positive as client and you're in the same room interacting the viral load  is smaller than if you are full on kissing the guy (viral load would be huge as mouth/nose are in close contact). My point is that kissing will increase your chances of getting a huge viral load and getting sicker.
Mornings were made for sleeping, wild sex and bacon.

I do understand this already, but it's incredibly useful a post to have in this thread  :)

It would be if we knew the viral load of the infected person we were kissing/in the room/on the bus with, but since we won't I can't see how much use it is when there are so many variables. Some people with HIV are extremely infectious and some aren't infectious at all (again because of viral load which we don't know).

That said, we're not doctors so we're probably best sticking to comments about what we know :).

I saw a client a while back it was not a full on service it was mostly hand relief he wanted but wanted kissing which i said i don't want to do. Not long after he said he had Covid and for me to get tested luckily i never caught it. I think i would have probably caught it if i had been kissing him.

Just wondered whether it's covid related (higher risk from kissing) or just dislike kissing and can not put up with the bad mouth smells that come with the job, have any of you completely stopped offering it and do you find it makes no difference or a slight decline?

I've stopped it and it's not made any material difference, thankfully

Honestly - do what feels right for you and don't feel bad! That's the advice you'd give to someone else here after all isn't it? Covid is a useful excuse but I just decided I didn't like it. It was a gamble to stop it but it hasn't made much difference (although there are obviously those who think they are special - but that's where the acting skills come in!)  :D

Maybe give it a go (put a Covid excuse on your profile) and see how it goes. Your sanity is the priority here!

I have also removed kissing not just for covid we are entering flu season also. I cannot stand their slimy tongues going in my mouth. I find the clients obsessed with kissing are the worst at it.

Yep i have tried kissing in the past and i really struggle with it i personally just don't like it and the condition of the mouths that turn up is like doing a challenge in I'm a celebrity get me out of here hahaha

Covid has made it easier to just say no to it.

I feel just as you do about it EG, if they were all minty fresh and teeth looked good and clean it wouldn't be such an issue but those type are few and far between so covid has indeed become a great excuse not to.
When I tell them no kissing they don't seem to have a problem and are understanding, I find that if you're caressing their cock as you impart the information it helps  ;)
