Anyone else getting pure timewasters right now? Five days straight.

I swear I am going to lose my shit if they don't stop soon.  I have had pure BS this whole damn week.  Just getting ready for a job and *poof*  he has deactivated.  WTAF?   :FF

It depends where one lives.

I live in the middle of zone 1/central London. It is dead, and huge swathes of the City remain dormant and nothing has really re-opened. I know many offices have told their employees to expect to wfh until early next year at the earliest. If there is a second lockdown, it will remain exactly how it is. A few of the men I see used to travel down to London regularly for work, that’s all been cancelled, indefinitely.

Same!  I had one hotel guy recently, he was cool but most have been home based types who are either infirm or older.

At the moment i do not think CV is really affecting bookings unless you are in a area where the commuters are not there as there at home.

I'm not sure I agree, especially if you live near any of the major cities. Many office workers are being told to stay at home, and combined with the school holidays any men with a family will find it difficult to get out.

Google have said their employees will be working from home until at least January, and they are probably a good indicator.

Then on top there's the local lockdowns, as in the NW and Aberdeen at the moment.

Yeah Kay i suppose it depends where you are and who can get out and who cannot. Quite a lot of people are still furloughed too.

Let me disagree (if you don't mind that is). Besides the "impeding commuter" (like you say) we also have the "impeding international traveller", the plenty of paranoid-health concern people who are afraid of getting a massage/hair cut let alone frolicking in bed with a hooker, the plenty who have lost their jobs and those who are still employed but keep hearing in the news of the "an upcoming recession worse than 1929" and are being very cautious with money.

I wish this was just a problem of "impeding commuters"  ???

Ana probably should have said not for me just at the moment and a few others i know but that can also change very quickly. Depends a lot on where you work, what days you choose might be busier then others. Loads of factors.

I think a lot were sex starved from 3 months of a lot not working and some rushed back. I suppose there is going to be clients that are health conscious and staying away but ones that contact me have no problem with it but then switch it around men booking Sex workers in CV times will not be too fussed and they know we service other men so could be more at risk.

It has 100% had an impact on bookings. My bookings have remained steady however the biggest thing I have noticed is if I get a cancellation a ready made replacement is not there so that entire slot has gone :'( Pre Covid I could always replace within 10-15 minutes.

Or have anyone IN. One of my regulars appears to have one of his older teenage kids moved back with him for a while now and so, he is not available, it's a pity too because he is very predictable and very easy.

Most of the problem is media fearmongering.

It’s a myriad of issues and wholly dependent on the kind of men you see. I am outcall only, and see men in hotels or at their homes. Many are married, and are now trapped working at home and aren’t able to disappear for an afternoon, whereas before when they were office based, they could. Easily. I do a lot of dinner dates too, mostly with men in London for work, but no-one is really travelling into London for work, or any other reason. As I’ve said in another thread, a lot of central London where I am is still closed for business, and I don’t see this changing massively.

July was fine, and have been able to meet in hotels with no problems. August is proving to be a non-starter and have written it off. September and October look busier, but even though I’ve quite a few confirmed, I am expecting them to be postponed. I only see a few men a month, and am finding this lull quite boring, although a nice opportunity to eat what I want!
