I just don't want to be responsible for putting someone in intensive care, or making them lose loved ones. There are men who still want to see me, but I'm not doing it. I can't complain about the system and then be part of the problem. I'm not a hypocrite.

In normal circumstances, I would say it's a great idea, but now I think it's too risky.
Delivery drivers should be given proper PPE and double pay.
But now even the NHS staff do not have PPE to protect themselves and already there are reports of medics ill, some critically.

Plus many sex workers who are applying for UC are single mums and it's not easy to get childcare at this moment. It's too risky to get job in supermarket when you have underlying health conditions and living with elederly parents.
I won't be starting civvy job till all gets clear and we are safe to go out. Sugar daddies and webcam can help to go through this without being hit financially. Let's see how government can help to self employed people. It may take some time but we will be fine

Unless you're dragging punters in off the street against their will, you're not responsible for any such thing. Adults can and will make their own choices.

This is an interesting dilemma.
I would compare it to keeping the pubs open while advising not to use them.
Is it allowing adults to make their choices? Or is it facilitating "covidiots" to spread the disease further?

What it is is a matter of not making judgemental comments about other sex workers, who really don't need to hear it when they're probably.feeling torn enough as it is. We are not responsible for endangering some punters' silver haired grandmother any more than a pub landlord is responsible for a drunk bloke going home and beating his partner after he's served him a few pints. The consequences are for the punters' conscience, just as they are not responsible for anybody we might have who could suffer as a result.

For those of us who are desperate and feel that they may have no choice over the coming months to do a small amount of work to survive, I do wonder if the upshot of cabin fever may be that in a couple of weeks all of the men are dying to escape for an hour.

Probably.

Indeed. I suspect the divorce lawyers of the land ~~and possibly the patio building supply places~~ are gearing up for a busy time too.

Let’s hope so! This time last year it was pretty steady so this year would be the same if it wasn’t the way it was, although perhaps Brexit would have caused some issues.

Are parlours and saunas open does anyone know? If so then will they made to shut? Who would make them shut if they had to, the local council from the area that parkour is in? Just curious.

I imagine they would fall under the same definition as pubs, gyms and so on - places where people might gather unnecessarily. They'd be shut in England and Wales (although being brothels they're illegal anyway) but Scotland is different, although since they seem to have been pretty proactive so far and I'd be amazed if the licensed saunas had any kind of exemption.

I would certainly suggest to get ready for this being around for many, many months.

Some of us can perhaps take a step back for a couple of weeks, others for a couple of months. But if this goes on for the rest of the year, nearly all of us cannot escape what that would lead to.

I've decided to keep going on a very limited basis of clients who show no symptoms and who use any bacterial gel etc when they arrive.

It's not full proof but its lowering the risk.

Also worth bearing in mind that in a couple of months there will be people who have already had it and cannot catch it again and so will feel there is no risk for them. So its important we are ready for that.

I think parlours and saunas have to shut, or at least they definitely should. A few escorting agencies are also shutting up shop for a while.

Although it's a hypothetical question at the moment, I would be up for doing the odd booking - it might be my only human contact for a few days, so on an odds basis the risk is lower than e.g. a trip to the supermarket.

I have read many times over the last week or so that this is not guaranteed. It has not been around long enough for a definitive answer as to whether it can be contracted a second time.

Every parlour I know is shut down.
