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.

It's a very good point. Although I will be only seeing 1 or 2 a day tops. I'm not expecting more then that.
I want to just keep myself ticking over for now.

The income i get from pornhub basically covers my rent. So I'm fortunate that I can be a bit picky and see only an very limited number of people.

I think many girls (including those here) whilst not admitting it are also weighing up options to gradually see a select few clients just to generate some livable income.

I decided to give up my flat and stop working its just not worth the risk. I don't think that it's a given not getting this virus from popping to the shops and no way to work 100% safe either, Its a gamble and if it was a matter of starving then I'd work but I value my health and I've survived on much less. The fact that 2 households on my street have lost people under 60 to CV-19 made me think that it's not worth putting myself in a position to be close to strangers that if punting during lockdown obviously don't care for their health.

Now another 3 weeks, I'm resolving myself to putting escorting on hold. End the feeling anxious about when I can work and having a flat.

I honestly feel for anyone feeling anxious with this unknowing and uncertainty. And I just hope that any girls that have to work are safe and not taken advantage of. Also your health is your future and future ability to earn. I'm taking some super good vitamins for my immune system, So if working make sure you support your immune system.

I care about my health too but its worth remembering that it is still the case, however awful it is for those poor people and their families who are are vulnerable, that the vast vast majority of people who get it won't have more than mild to tolerably medium symptoms and the lockdown is less about everyone avoiding getting it in and of itself, but to prevent too much stress on the nhs dealing with the more severe cases. I do think not being stressed and self care is great though.

Thankfully my place is very discreet, lots and lots of apartments and lots of young people coming and going. I might consider, when I go back only seeing younger guys maybe so they stand out less perhaps. Because even when lockdown is loosened I still want to be more vigilant than normal because I feel the curtain twitching that's been going on about hookers, sunbathers, whateverers, won't just slip away over night.

If I knew they were only seeing me and I knew their employment wasn't high risk like working in a hospital or supermarket I would probably risk it but there are so few guys loyal to a single escort, they are like gold dust. Seems everyday I am reading on Twitter about girls in their 20s and 30s dying in this country to covid-19 and not just nurses.

I have savings but I will need cash sooner or later, but also don't want to catch it just incase I pass it on to someone elderly or am genetically unfortunate and it hits me hard. That being said it is starting to look like life will not return to normal as the genie is out of the bottle.

May I ask burlesque, Are you avoiding kissing and trying positions to avoid clients faces, Making them shower?I'm actually back to feeling really horny now I've been off a month and tempted to hook up with a friend with benefits but sods law I'd probably catch CV.

Another reason I'm also nervous about when to start back is the black listing of AW profiles that go available and my good regulars might be put off as most have sent messages to say they are glad to see I've not available.

All so conflicting.

You have to do what's best for you.
Any sane, reasonable person, friend, foe or fellow escort would understand that and if they dont I would question them.

I am.going to be providing my usual service as to be honest if they are coming into my apartment and fucking me then kissing wont be preventing catching CV.

I will use other preventive measure like checking symptoms and using my shower regardless if they had 1 before they arrived.

BB maybe they are saying they're glad you're not working for your own sake and not doing this ridiculous checking up thing for other reasons.

Louise I'd say kissing is a definite no-no.

For you maybe.

But perhaps ask yourself this. A guy comes to your place for an hour of sex. If he was asymptomatic with CV, would not kissing him prevent you from catching CV?

It's transmitted via saliva etc so I'm thinking you'll have more chance of getting it through kissing.

If you are having sex you'll be in close enough proximity to catch injustice by breathing on eachother.

Members of the cabinet have warned that some form of social distancing could be in place until we get a vaccine but as people know that could be 1/2 years away. Of course what exactly that means is **shrugs** and the questions I have that follow from that (like, can we get the self employment grant for that length of time? Unlikely!) are multiple. I would struggle to survive on universal credit and I'm a full time student who does escorting because I can get a full time wage on part time hours and not obstruct my studies and so trying to switch to a supermarket job or even cam would not work, unless I put my studies, basically, in the bin, the idea of which breaks my heart. Feeling depressed this morning.  :'(

I am in the exact same position as you. A full time student who is working to survive. You can cam alongside studies - I've been doing it for a few years now. I spend 3-4 hours a day on cam, and then do uni work afterwards. It works quite well if you get into a routine.

It is simple we are in lockdown for a reason thousands of people are dying so if anyone wants to go back to work especially in the peak are taking a risk whether you avoid kissing or not you are still in close contact and men are paying for sex acts that put you in close contact.

If you are choosing to go back to work before it is safe to do so or at least the numbers of deaths have come down a lot just accept it is a risk as you will be in close contact and those clients will still probably be going supermarkets etc and getting food etc.

This job is one of the worst for it as close contact is not something you can avoid so it is a numbers game whether the clients you see have it or not and have just caught it.

Exactly the 2 meter rule put in place for a reason and even that is not a guarantee you will not get it. Any sex act if anyone has it the chances of you catching it is very very high. There is no ifs and buts close contact spreads it.

The two meter rule is there so you don't catch droplets if someone sneezes or coughs. So kissing is more of a danger as you're swapping saliva. You can't as far as I'm aware get it from other bodily fluids as it's respitory droplets that's the danger. But yes, I said on this thread a few weeks ago I'm worried you can get it from someone's breath but that's not proven as far as I know. We all do what we want to do.

My point is that if I see any clients, I might aswell kiss and it's not going to make a difference if I catch it or not because you are having sex with them anyway.

I've made the decision to see a limited number of people under specific conditions to reduce the risk and we are in a free and open democracy last time I checked.

I know some of you will say I'm mad...but it's my life and my body.

The worst thing is that some of you will criticise in public yet in private will absolutely be thinking about trying to work on a limited basis.
