I'm working tomorrow as I've paid for the flat. I'm offering (don't laugh) a no contact service.

I will probably do the full personal too but I'm only doing doggy style as I'm worried about droplets from breath. From what I've read, CV is contacted (contracted?) through inhaling droplets of a sneeze/cough of someone infected. But you can inhale someone's breath surely.

Got a feeling it will be a tad better tomorrow because the sun's out. 🤔

A no contact service could be an idea if people need to work but are worried, you can offer a toy show, striptease, they watch you wank in the shower... I guess a reduced rate may come into play but it's a great option. Distance can be kept from start to finish and a lot of guys might appreciate they can still see someone and keep as 'safe' as possible.

Maybe ideas here for similar things may help some ladies who need to work but don't perhaps want to?

I do appreciate that most guys will want f/s or bj's of course but these are not normal times and you could actually gain customers that wouldn't have risked it otherwise.

And I know any close contact will never be 'safe' right now but offering a service that keeps a distance could help?

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.

Im sure they come under health or leisure centers its something along those lines so they should be shut x

Except my local shops, garages, dentists(?), bus drivers, etc most of which are still handling money.

Yes ideally all of us would shut up shop. There is help out there but not for everyone right now.

As far as I'm aware the government guidelines do not say not to touch hands (if that hand has CV on it and you touch your face, you are likely to get it, so wash hands thoroughly). You can't catch CV by contact, it's caught by touching a surface that has been touched by an infected person, and even then the way it enters your body is via eyes mouth and nose. And of course you can catch it via inhaling someone's infected droplets.

I personally am working today and then taking a break indefinitely.

But we are all able to make our own decisions.

I wouldn't mind working if I had some sort of assurance that some of these punters had a modicum of awareness that this is risky and it isn't just 'business as usual'  but they don't, some of them are just clueless, had one such idiot contact me today who didn't even notice my update from over a week ago, he just thinks the standard from before will hold true now and I haven't got time for people like that because it is exactly the type who will turn with symptoms and not tell you.

I am a higher risk so as is one of my sproglets, I can't take that risk so I have decided to go cyber if possible or otherwise rely on the benefits, no it isn't really enough but I have an overdraft and a credit card with nothing on it (I WAS able to pay that off at least)  we will be ok, but no judgement to the women who are taking the risk, I honestly considered it but with my lungs deciding to give me fair warning of their delicacy right now, I have decided to listen to my body.

Something important to add. I understand why some sex workers might still be trying to work now as none of us know every single persons situation and why they need to take the risk but we know they really need the money and are worried not because they miss sex and need it well i don't think so anyway.

But the worry is the small percentage of punters that are ignoring government advice and still wanting to get there penis serviced which is not a vital need whatsoever so i would be concerned with those types i doubt there following advice on health and hygiene outside of there orgasm visit. We already deal with some men before this that do not like washing when there visting a sex worker, we see shitty arses, smelly penis, piss smells and that is sometimes after they have supposed to have showered. Just cannot see these types staying 2 meters away from people if going supermarket and washing hands regularly. I just can see them breaking other guideline advice if there booking sex workers.

Someone who I've yet to meet (no booking yet) told me he was going to the pub when I declined his booking Friday night (had a personal event arranged(online)), then texted me in the early hours asking if I was available.

Has sent various messages over the last ten days saying he thinks I am wonderful, have spoken on the phone, but one of those only wants to book at short notice (no partner, lives alone), is a significant distance away and middle of the night pub or no pub isn't going to work.

BUT in light of what actually was put in place on Friday, just a little bit shocking.

Always interesting the things that guys who say "Really want to see you, think you are really nice, I'm really keen, respectful etc" go on to actually do.

BUT it's being done right across all areas of life.

The few clients/punters I have seen in recent weeks have been incredibly clean, incredibly respectful, apart from punting appear to be adhering to everything else. Whether the drunk, high, daft enquiries would be like that I do not know, considering the state of someone I spoke two weekend but last I would say he definitely was not in a state to respect himself nor anyone else. I won't ordinarily see someone like that, so no change there.

A regular who has been ok in the past but a handful in other ways, part a health condition which I have a lot of patience for, did have a pooey bum a few weeks ago. Also had been lax with something else, so a word was had and I know he got the message. Had a lot of time for him, but there has to be a point where I cannot just say it's his illness/disability. Actually was really sad about it.

How great would it be to have a pot of money in the bank and be able to take a 3 month break but unfortunately until they sort out a decent finance package for the self employed we will be forced to work x

Hi BL. It might be worth a shot to call UC maybe for now?
