I did not imply rape but sexual tension and pestering. Rape and reasons for are complex, About power and other psychological reasons too complex for me to analyse. I don't try to understand the inner workings of men, Not sure women are the most complex of the two sexes.

I think we're on extremely thin ice with the suggestion that punters are more likely to abuse women than non-punters; the abolitionist lobby have been trotting that old 'rapists with an outlet' shit out for years. Some punters will be abusive, and so will some cyclists, gamers, birdwatchers and people with all sorts of other ideas about how they spend their free time, and this idea that men are basically no better than farm animals and unable to control their behaviour really needs dissolving every time it comes up - it demeans us all as well as excusing the real arseholes.

If I had a single regular who I suspected would be an abuser (and I realise they're not that easy to spot), he wouldn't be seeing me again. I have no doubt that I've come across a few in the last twenty or so years, but if I spent my days in any job where most of the people I met were men I would expect the proportions to be about the same.

Absolutely

I do wonder why some people do this type.of work when there is clear dislike towards men, particularly the type to see us working girls.

I for one like my job and a lot of my clients, and am as inclined to like or dislike individual men as any other kind of person, but I don't give a hoot if other escorts feel differently about their punters, that's their business.

Anyway, I think seeing as it looks like lockdown is going to be extended (painful seeing as how beautiful the weather is) so I'm now trying to seriously amend my thinking to come to terms with the fact that I won't be working for a real long time. Maybe it'll just be another few weeks but because I was mentally tiring myself checking the guardian for any clues as to when this will soften ever few hours, I've decided its best just to assume the worst and make peace with that and hope for a nice surprise. Maybe even try cam again.

I agree burly. I do not hate men and have met awful people both male and female in all walks of my life, jobs and personal.
As to the lockdown, none of us know when life may start getting back to anything resembling normal so assumptions and expectations are futile. Optimism is all we have while we get used to the lack of freedom during the sunny weather.

If or when we can work again without worry then I will welcome back my regular clients and hope to meet some new ones. A few exceptions though regarding the men I thought were good but have tried to see me during isolation. I am quite sad about that.

Sadly this time brings out the worst in clients. I had the most awful email off a client telling me how I am a money hungry whore working during this time. He miss read my available light for phone chat as available for escort and gave me so much abuse! I literally said we do not need people like him policing our profiles and to leave us alone.

I’m so mad at how men can judge us for even working online at this time and yes I show for escort but I make it CLEAR there are no meets. Again goes back to men not reading profiles.

I’ll be so glad once this is over. The amount of requests I have had has increased tenfold and it’s shocking to think some if not all of these men will have met an escort during this time. It makes me question if I should return once we’re in the clear.

There is as much chance of meeting a punter who has fucked others bareback.

I don't hate hate, although I am a lesbian.

This lockdown has forced me to see what it's like living without the escorting work. I'm mainly a cam girl these days, and I've been too afraid to quit the escorting incase I couldn't survive on that alone, but I'm actually managing ok (and without savings...)

I totally agree but that is out of sight out of mind you know? This isn’t and just brings the risks to light. In my opinion anyways.

Hi SWgirl, I also had a guy message me on the site accusing me of working because I had my phone chat light on, I put him straight and told him he should read profiles and look to see what the green light is for before he starts messaging lady's and hurling abuse at them "Green light quite clearly says "available for phone chat now" , he then messaged back after reading my reply and my profile and apologised saying that yes he should have checked before he insulted me and he would like to meet after this virus has gone because he didn't mean it!!! well he has no chance of ever meeting me after the abuse he sent, why do guys think they can hurl abuse at you and think that you would be willing to meet with them, some guys are just plain ignorant and think well I said sorry so its ok now he is now blocked

I have always had the mindset that in life men will always come and go, Doors will close and open and as long as you have your own back things will come good. But the most important thing is that we care for our bodies and mind. I do feel that this year is going to be utterly rubbish for us WGs, I would love to be proved wrong. And I find that we are some of the strongest women mentally for sure from our life experiences. Thank you for letting me ask questions and fail with my rants or off topic stuff. But thanks for having a place to come and chat and ask questions.

We never stop learning and it's great to get some wisdom

Darcy may I ask how you are now finding you are better without escorting?

I'm finding it really hard to see how to continue escorting this year. All the uncertainty of no vaccine, Job loss and a year of financial struggle for a percentage of clients. No clear plan from goverment on when we are allowed to socialize and get up close and personal with strangers. Also the added stigma of working now working recklessly with CV-19. I think the goverment want to have us all using Cov tracking apps on our phone. I feel like freedom and privacy is really going to be a privilege of the past and already our profession is already still a taboo and most wish to keep it discreet.

I don't think we will be getting a full end to lockdown until after the summer.

Has anyone decided to give up in escorting this year and start next year or later this year?

amy · « **Reply #776 on:** 13 April 2020, 11:12:51 am »

I think most people are able to accept that for now we just have to be patient and see what happens; there is no concrete 'plan' because nobody else knows either?

I can only speak for myself, but I'm certainly not writing the entire year off in mid April and intend to get back to work as soon as it's practical to do so whether that's June, September or Christmas. In the meantime I'm just doing my best to keep plodding on like everybody else - contingency planning is fine and sensible, but constantly speculating on events I know nothing about and can't possibly predict based on some vaguely formed table scraps I've picked up from random media sources is not a worthwhile use of my time, so I'm not doing it.

Kay · « **Reply #777 on:** 13 April 2020, 02:05:13 pm »

Yep, I don't think it's worth making any sort of firm plans, apart from applying for e.g. a supermarket or farm job, or UC, if you need money. A concert I was due to attend in May has been rescheduled for September but I have no intention of booking anything else until a bit of time has passed. At the moment, I'm just hoping lockdown is at least partially lifted by my birthday at the end of June!

KirstyKiss · « **Reply #778 on:** 13 April 2020, 02:23:02 pm »

I'm not writing off the year either!

I plan to return to work as soon as practicable. I have accommodation bookings in place from August and am looking forward to getting back on the road. Every day spent in lockdown is one day closer to normality.

Under normal circumstances, I find it difficult to take time off so being forced to has allowed me to reevaluate how much I actually need to work when I go back.

Bettyboo29 · « **Reply #779 on:** 13 April 2020, 03:44:26 pm »

I'm just more bothered as I have to decide in 2 weeks if I keep my work flat or not, Landlord was trying to get me to stay for obvious reasons it's not going to be easy now renting out places. If I was just using hotels and such I'd be more chilled and focus on taking the summer off and start Autumn onwards. I just don't want to pay 2 months rent and not work as it will just be money going into landlords pocket and out of my savings. I been offered some part time work locally so that will keep things ticking over.

I think I need to go back to not reading online newspapers, Not help at all.
