This current situation (Cvirus) has brought out some of the dubious men who email questions like this to me  -

"I guess you will be feeling the pinch and quite desparate for work so will you consider a good discount for me today?"

He is still waiting for his reply.

Words of a true predator.  I'm always grateful when "bad apples" show their true colours on my phone screen, so much better/safer than them showing their true colours in person...

People are really taking the p*ss right now. I've actually turned off the escorting option on my Adultwork, because I'm bored of people trying to get discounted rates.

On the other hand I haven't heard of other lines of self employment where customers are predating on, I mean... I have my plumber coming on Wednesday to fix my sink and I wouldn't dream of asking him for a discount or telling him that "now that you're here would you mind fixing my lightbulbs too for the same price because you must be so happy I called you"

There some scary people out there is all I have to say.

It is absolutely predatory. I can't stand men who think they can negotiate usually, but now there are many who are taking complete advantage. It says alot about them as people.

I've seen three regulars today. I told one I was expecting it to be quiet and he said I'd probably be busier now more men were working from home so it might ght be the same for all of us.

In my county there are 9 (that we know of) cases of CV with a population of 750,000. So I think if we are careful things might pick up. Unless today is a blip for me.

I might put my prices up seeing the amount of kitchen roll and anti bac wipes etc I'm having to buy now. 🤔😁

I'm fully booked today too (weird). There's toilet paper and anti-bacterial lotion in my closet for a regiment  ;D

How do we all feel about the work at the moment? One of my regulars works in Canary Wharf, and I'm actually kinda worried about him coming to see me tonight in the UK. I feel stupid for being anxious about it too... :FF

I'm actually busier, maybe the mentality up North is more relaxed. Think people are just wanting to get it so they can have 2 weeks off work  ;D
Had 3 bookings so far and 3 booked in this evening.
My mentality is we're probably all going to get it eventually, I'd rather get it now than when the second stronger wave of it hits (my guess would be winter next year) because our immune system will be built up more to defend any future attacks. Just google the spanish flu of 1918, the first strain was weaker than the next but we've all had it - it's just the common flu now and its killed way more than the coronavirus, yet we're not panicking about that.
Plus if anything ..sex is another way of building up your immune system - I have to say sleeping with multiple men over the past 4 years, I've only been ill once and before escorting I seemed to be ill all the time... well it's a good excuse anyway ;)

This situation will bring the worst out of some people.
Of course, every crisis brings out the opportunists. Just look at the price gougers

Not stopping yet, CERTAINLY not lowering my prices. But will probably stop around this coming weekend.
