I just got an email from a guy on AW asking whether I'm working. He's sent me emails before but has never actually met me, so why does he think now is going to be any different  ::) ::) ::)

The flu vaccine is a bit different though, as there are so many strains and they just make a best guess each year which to include in the jab. Any SARS-CoV-2 vaccine would be specific and thus hopefully a lot more effective.

I think wearing masks in public will become common, if not de riguer, but the economy wouldn't survive a prolonged lockdown. Jobs like hairdressing, nail technicians, physiotherapy etc. all involve close physical contact.

For punting, I think it will have to come down to common sense and minimising risks, i.e. don't escort/punt if you have anyone vulnerable in your life, check your temperature etc.

Or wear face mask in booking not provide kissing if those who do kissing. Suck and Fuck booking.  The face to face sexual postions be off the card so reverse cowgirl - bent over sex. They get their release and off they go. Or off you go if you do outcalls. Just a thought.

Now those who don't provide incalls like myself wait till hotels re open and things begin to slightly improve in the UK and around the world.
I return to my civy job agency once we know in future what work is allowed and not allowed. Escort on the side.

This industry will never die out as it was there during the western times and years before that and years before. Here we are it is still alive.

Its a flu virus and it can mutate, I would refuse to take any vaccine, how do you know what's inside that? if you've done any research you will see these sick people test on the poor population of India and South Africa. The virus will disappear as soon as it came. I know I won't stop working as soon as things open up and there will be a long queue of men waiting...

I'm not on AW and don't get emails but if I did get one "checking up" on me, I'd laugh and think what an idiot. If I want to work, I will.

I'm a microbiologist and work partly in medical research... SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus, not an influenza virus, and it mutates much more slowly. Clinical trials are run all over the world, including on plenty of paid participants in the west. No vaccine would be available in the UK unless it was safe and effective.

Wearing a mask during a booking is pretty pointless unless it's a well-fitted, medical grade one - for the general population, they're more to stop you spreading anything, not protecting you.

As social distancing will be going on for a while, I've personally decided I cant wait a year to work so have already started making preparations.

There is no full proof preventive measures, but I'm getting an elective thermometer, plenty of hand soap and so on.

Also any signs of a cough or anything and will terminate the booking.

Some of you will disagree with me but I genuinely cannot hold out forever on this.

Everyone posting on this forum is doing so as a sex worker and nothing else - I could claim that I used to play centre half for Borussia Mönchengladbach, but that wouldn't make it true. And if it was it would still have fuck all to.do.with sex work.

It's been a few pages since we've had to remind about posts staying on topic and relevant to the thread title. Please keep posts on topic and relevant to the thread title :).

I'm thinking similarly.  I'll wait to see in June what I am entitled to vis-à-vis the SE grant but I don't trust this government on social security so I'm not treating that lost earnings thing as a given. Thus I am reconciling myself now to the fact that I may have to go back to work before  the end of lockdown and have to learn to brush off the judgement and witchhunt bollocks and just do the only things I can; put up prices, keep to a smaller number of bookings, ask and trust clients to be honest about age and vulnerability, and wash hands and provide sanitizer.

Dont worry about what others think.

I've also got an account with a large pornsite where I can upload videos and this generates some money but it's not quick like cash in your pocket type.

For those planning to continue / go back to work soon: where will you be working from(obviously not asking the address or towns lol, but like ... from your homes ? Apartments ?)
Personally I offered incalls from hotels only.
Hotels/com doesn’t allow bookings at the moment for hotels I usually use.
Any advice ?
Looks like I’ll also have to go back to work during this extension or just as it ends. X

Personally I work from my own apartment.

Hotels will be an issue until they can open.

A thousand times yes. You can always change your mind the day these others' pious sanctimony extends to paying your bills.

I'm lucky to have a work flat, but might you find anything in the ads here, or could you maybe rent somewhere just for six months (even sharing with somebody else?) that's easy to get to and not too costly? There are a couple of posters on the thread not sure about keeping their work flats when they don't know when they'll next be working - you could even PM and ask if they might be anywhere near you?

I have never wanted to work from home but when the schools are allowed back I’m doing jusy that in school hours only. I dont know if hotels will be open but I will be wanting to do a couple jobs a day to keep my head above water and keeping costs down is imperative.

I would be very cautious about working before lockdown is over if your location isn't subtle. I'm on a quiet street, and it's now even more obvious if a stranger parks up in a car and knocks on a door. There's the odd delivery driver, but that's it. I'm not even a type to curtain twitch - it's just really obvious.
