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 not taking bookings for a few days and keeping an eye on the news.

I’ve developed the dreaded thrush anyway ::)

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 ;)

Busier because a lots of ladies are not working. You may be just the only one girl in your town. Good luck to everyone and keep strong.

I have mortgage savings and not working. I have no plans to work.

Keep safe xx

I noticed today on AW local search, there was only 1 and a half pages of ladies where as usually it’s 3.
I was quiet, only two bookings so I’ve decided to not work now for a little while and see how things progress.

Well lockdown if officially starting up like i knew it would this week. If anybody seen Boris Johnson talks today.

Question is what is everyone doing risking working or taking advice and stopping for now?

Boris made it clear he wants people to do what he says he doesn't want to start enforcing it by punishment or police yet?

I’m with you EG.

At this moment not interested how corona can affect my business but worried about those who are vunerable.

Also doing xyz bookings a day is silly. I have offered my 78 yearl old Reg to bring his weekly shopping and hoping for the best.

Anyone who is working...good luck and keep safe x

Some might but some have been contacted about being used as temporary hospital beds for treatment if needed.

You believed it would, you didn't know it would (and nor did anybody else).

The speech I saw 'advised' that some groups of people take some actions and 'suggested' that other groups took others - businesses and schools are still open and it would be enormously helpful if you could stop making it sound like martial law has been declared. There are people here who for whatever reason are going to find the least-brief press briefing in history difficult to make sense of as it is.

I've tidied this thread of off topic posts once already today, and I'm getting fairly fed up of it. There are general discussion boards all over the internet and I doubt there is a dearth of posts on the topic; I'm not locking this one for those concerned members who need advice and support, so from now on anybody making posts unrelated to sex work will find themselves on premod with immediate effect.

I did receive an email from dayuse cancelling my booking for this week (they beat me to it tbh lol) but then a couple hours later they retracted the email and said I still had a reservation.

So I think a lot of hotels/businesses don’t really know they the hell to do. But yes I’ll be cancelling that.

I'm going to play it by ear.
There's a regular who lives down the road, he's more concerned about neighbours seeing me than this coronavirus. I'll be seeing him tomorrow.
Tonight I've cancelled a booking because he asked for bareback last minute(don't know if this extra boundary pushing is due to coronavirus)
I've stopped seeing a 70 year old client because he has several underlying health issues. I'm not showing any symptoms of the virus but can't rule out I'm an asymptomatic carrier.
In my bag, I carry antiseptic wipes, hand gel, throat lozenges and disposable gloves Will reduce working hours (camming too) to give my body more rest =better immunity.

I was intending on taking a decent sized break this year anyway, although it was to go travelling.. so even though I’ll be doing the exact opposite of travelling, I’m just thinking of it as I’m just taking the time I was intending to have off anyway.

Yep, I got the email too. It started with something in the lines of "due to the decline of bookings we're trying to promote webcam etc..".

Another smarty pants taking advantage of the current situation.
Mornings were made for sleeping, wild sex and bacon.

I didn't mind it it's something I am making moves to do, and any help will be appreciated.
