Similar situation with me these last few days. A sharp increase in requests to meet on the day when they know I am not back at work yet. Testing to see if I am lying? Possibly but whatever it is I don't respond to them. I think now I will only see known clients when I do decide to return. At first anyway. I have kept my work phone active but unknown numbers are just ignored.

I've started just ignoring and blocking now. I do not wish to see anyone that would put their health at risk like that.

No, it remains illegal to work. It will stay illegal until indoor social distancing laws are revoked.

When do u think it will be revoked next 3 weeks perhaps?Or longer :/

The poster asked if she could work, not if she could work legally. The two things are not the same, and like everybody else she needs to be aware of the differing risks and decide for herself as Ian has said already :).

Helen, the people who make the laws don't know the answer (or if they do they're certainly not giving anything away), so there's really no point asking anonymous randoms on an internet forum who have no input and know absolutely nothing about it, and I'm including myself in that.

I'm going back to work on 6th July; I have bills to pay. I don't speculate as to when/if it will be legal to work again as it doesn't matter. I am staying out for an extended period of time.

I started my own personal lockdown and stopped working 2 weeks before the official lockdown to protect a family member who was deemed high risk. She is now not high risk as the government advice has changed and she received personal correspondence to that effect.

My own personal take on Covid 19 is that it could be around for quite some time but I am not putting my family into destitution because of a virus that i might /might not catch or have had already. I was really unwell before Christmas and again in February, so much so that I had to take sick days on tour. I remember driving from Hertfordshire to Yorkshire thinking I was going to pass out and then had to drive home to Norfolk a day later (where I should have gone in the first place). That was my last tour.

I have accepted that my choice of job involves close personal contact and that comes with risks but I'm not giving up my job. I've got just as much chance of getting killed in a head on collision driving round the UK but it doesn't stop me going to work.

I am lucky that I had savings and have had help from the government but I need to return for my mental health as much as for the income.

I respect everyone's decisions as we all have to weigh up our own personal pros and cons.

I haven't seen a willy since lockdown.

Going by the empty shelves of baby wipes i'm guessing a lot more are going back.

Even though I have had my phone on I've had idiots galore calling.

Wipes were wiped out in the loo roll rush at the start of restrictions, so may not necessarily be a sign of sex work.

I'm the same Saffy, Not a sausage since lockdown lol the pound shops normally have wipes.

I did plan on starting back July, I don't even have my new number on AW so it's AW messages only and it's odd how many guys with no feedback keep asking if I'm available even though I have also stated on my profile not working until further notice. Also these guys with no feedback do not message like my usual type of clients, Strange.

I think it will not matter if you start working now or July or September with the way of the law and all the unpredictable changes most not backed by science. If I had a boyfriend living in another house now and I had not seen him since lockdown I would not listen to the Gov telling me i can't have what is humanly right. We are adults and so we can be sensible and still be closer than 2 meters. I have used buses and been in a closed window cabs with drivers chatting away and did not stay hiding away but tried to get out 3 times a week. I'm going to my best mates flat today for wine and nibbles and a catch up after not seeing her since lockdown, Illegal but my mental health will be better for the human interaction.

I plan on only seeing those I know and just work to keep the basics played for but visits would have to be after dark.

Is anyone planning on wearing masks and not offering FK and OWO? If most girls are using these precautions then it will be the norm for punters. Not that I believe it will guarantee not catching anything.

I think these punters like the idea of being the first one in after a sw has had a break. Can't say I blame them. I am doing owo but I've never offered kissing and that's the same for me now. But gargling with a good quality mouthwash.

Has anyone else noticed clients becoming almost desperate? I've got a few lines on my AW profile saying that I'm not working at the min etc.  I've had regs message me suggesting we meet "up the woods", or that I do a car meet and so on. Or that they come to mine pretending to deliver food for me to provide a cover story for the neighbour's. I pointed out that they see me going out to the shops to do my own shopping. Just seem to be getting increasingly desperate requests. Hopefully this means we will all my mega busy when we are able to work legally.

I've had this kind of thing. Meeting in the park and stuff. I think if you're going to meet an escort you may as well just do it, no pissing about. If I were a punter and I wanted to meet an escort I'd just be sure to meet someone who operated from big apartment blocks in anonymous, urban areas where it would be highly unlikely to be noticed. But some of these guys probably kinda like the thrill of the extra taboo that this activity now carries, as I think paying for sex for a lot of punters has always been at least a little bit about the sense of the 'illicit'.

It's only been newbies who have been suggesting this sort of thing, and laughing when I say "No".

I'd liken it to the ones who call wanting the first booking of the day - it mystifies me because it's my worst one by far and I'm still mentally settling into the working day and after a week or more off I'm even worse. I remember once having one of these who when pressed for an exact time asked for 11am, when it was my first day in a hotel in a new place and I was starting at 8. He wasn't keen to pay me to sit around for three hours as well as for his hour ::).

Is anyone planning on wearing masks and not offering FK and OWO?

If I was even contemplating wearing masks for bookings I wouldn't bother working at all, and ditto kissing (although that's because it's an integral part of my service to the point where bookings without it make me uncomfortable) but I don't offer OWO or RO anyway. If I did I wouldn't be stopping, though :).

I’ve had these requests several times, dismissed every single one. Similar to ‘first of the day clients’. Needy and annoying. They’re paying the same as everyone else so I will see them when I can fit them in  ;D

We may make alot of money when guys do visit again
Trying to be positive here
But some may not be able to afford to anymore depending on their financial predicament.
Personally I can't wait to get back to work. But best see the hairdresser beforehand !!
