No wonder sex workers get a bad name when it comes to this sort of thing. It's all about the money apparently.

You're lucky to have a fix check at the end of the month (assuming), unfortunately I'm part of all the greedy self employed who are freaking out at the moment because three months of pandemic will send me to financial ruin. I would love to be able to quit for a few months but I can't afford it. Unfortunately council tax, landlord, energy bills and mortgage don't care about pandemics, so I have to continue working, but it seems I'm the bad one. It's not a matter of "sex workers are bad", it's a matter of "self employed have to survive". I'm priviledged to be single and childfree, but yesterday I had a self employed client with three kids who was having a full blown panic attack because he has three kids to feed. Like me he's going to his office too *despite of*

Sex workers are stigmatized and frown upon enough already by society, we really don't need more of that by our own , thank you.

One moment. Don't accuse me of something I haven't said. I haven't said don't work. I'm continuing myself.

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

So why are we getting a bad name? For wanting to continue working and pay our bills?

Nope. My last post on this now. Of course we carry on working but we also in my view have to take precautions due to this CV.

Nobody here is saying we don't need to take precautions Amy, of course we have to!

Interesting comment. Yes indeed, historically sex workers have been blamed and abused for 'this sort of thing'. It's called a witch hunt. Nothing new.

I was lucky Thursday I did two one hours which are a current discount as a sweetener over the winter.  One returnee and one new client.  I took the rest of the week off but I did have a handful of what sounded like genuine enquiries both email and by text.  Friday even though I wasn't working I kept my 'phone on in the morning and a returnee tried to ring.

I needed some time off but next week I will work the usual 3/4 days  It did seem a lot quieter Thursday though i.e. not even timewasters were bothering me!

i m positive by nature but realistic. the panic even unrealistic is going to affect everyone. not just our business. many even are not worried about the virus, going to be worried for the financial crisis.
many events are cancelled, business trip, restriction to travel, estate agent, hotels, ....
in my other job is highly affected too
even in uk is not as in Europe people absorb the panic regardless...

now i got some job interview and i am not sure if i will take it because it is self employed based.
maybe i will not attend too, lol i went for several lately and the potential outcome are really low expectations anyway.


i do not think that will be a long things, really hope so but i was surprised that some events on may was cancelled due to it. may is far lol

i am doing cam anyway which do not give me enough to live...
and maybe can go down a bit too due to the general panic.

i mean anyway everything pass, the only thing that i am doing is do not give a fuck...to be a bit gross. do not overthink to it, live everyday happy because we still in life.

i do not know about tour, i do not like anyway but i do think it is not the moment to invest in it.
even to have strict contact with somebody. i will meet a regular today that it is a friend now so i even do not have sex with him but i will get paid in some way.

say to not panic, yes but being honest you panic anyway more for the money that virus, sadly but yes... if you are kind healthy the virus will go away.


money are a mare! lol crazy to say but yes we think sometimes more to them than health
i slept well anyway tonight...but deeply worried and lot of negative vibes around it
freaking me out! specially the sheep, media and the over panic!

so to end my post, go out enjoy your day and make of it the most you can lol
everything pass! cheers :)

If you think it is Coronvirus making you quiet i doubt price dropping will do much plus clients could see the panic by doing that but obviously totally up to you with what you think is best.

I have to agree. price dropping has never helped me. when its quiet its quiet don't think price has anything to do with it

Morning all yes work will never be the same we just need to be more careful and take precautions.
One thing here in the UK we can still work and it’s up to each and every individual if they want to carry on or stop working.In Germany the government has put a stop to whoring. People there have got no choice. I have a cousin she confirmed it to me so there you go. So let’s just stay calm and carry on. Good luck to everyone 💋
