Ah ok, TY Amy. There were some posts on Reddit that were making it sound like Rommel was coming through & the London Blitz was happening all over again. I literally had visions of y’all huddling in train tunnels, except you can’t DO that bc well, social distancing.

Reddit = Chicken Little-ing.

In any event, I hope you guys are ok.♥️

Well I don't know anything about reddit apart from that it is/has a forum and is therefore off topic here anyway, but it's generally safe to say that anywhere where anonymous randoms can share their views online should be taken with a bucketload of salt ;D

I've had two texts today asking about bookings tomorrow and Tuesday, so I can only assume that some of the people who are no longer travelling to visit with friends or family members will be kicking their heels looking for things to do, plus at least a handful will now have an unexpected few days off.

I have never used professional pictures and it has never been a hindrance. Some men like the intimacy of non-professional photos.

Just get stuck in!

You're correct.

Former American in London here. Amy is correct. Lockdown in the US/other countries vs Lockdown in some places in the UK (particularly London) is very light. You can exercise, meet friends out within your social bubble, grab groceries, or take-a-way, coffee, etc walk in the parks, wear your mask or not (unless you're in stores that require it), etc. When I was in The Balkan region we were under 24h(3 months straight), with 1h to shop IF we got permission a day before from the government, only. Interestingly enough, we had the lowest covid # and deaths. I'm actually heading back and will come back to the UK after things get better.

Covid has effected my non bookings so much I'm just going to fly back to Southeast Europe and work on myself and try again.  ;D

Has anyone else have clients cancel future booking because they don't feel safe in areas reported in the news as high cases of covid?

I've had two today cancel saying they don't feel safe and wouldn't want to give me covid, These are regulars I've seen since end of first lockdown. I hope this is not going to mean clients are going to be scared off now with all the media pointing out counties and towns with highest cases :(  I dif plan on booking a place for next month but really not feeling confident, The messages from these clients felt very judgemental, Like if they see I'm available then I don't care about my health or others. And there is speculation in the media of a Tier 5, Are we not already in lockdown/Tier 4?

I personally feel if they don't see me after seeing me available I don't care, I mean they thought it was fine before but now with the media putting out news of this mutant covid and areas with highest cases, Our lives are going to get more stressful around work and decisions to work.

No, and nor have we ever been (see also eliteone's post above). Tier 4 yes, not that it doesn't become more meaningless by the hour - will we eventually get to Tier 43? (and the schools would probably still be open then).

Nobody has cancelled bookings here, but I've been off since the 21st - I managed to spin the lost dinner date I mentioned earlier into a long incall with Deliveroo but that was before it all changed again and I've lost track now. I'm happy to do enough to cover rent and bills for now though :).

Yes, I've also had a January booking in Paris cancelled due to a triple whammy of Brexit/travel restrictions and COVID, and the client is unable to leave the US. Other bookings I've taken deposits for that were pencilled in Jan, Feb and March 2021 have all been put on hold too.

It's a shitshow tbh.

I'm just happy to tick over until spring really. The flat I use for work is so nice, I often find clients rude for interrupting me anyway ha.ha.ha. Those judgemental ones are annoying although all I've been asked is how I'm staying safe in a booking. That was a regular and I just hung up on him because it's a naff question in my view.

A really stupid question asking how you are staying safe. If anyone is doing sex work there is no really safe way to stay safe. I suppose outside of sex working days you can try to limit contact with others and hand sanitize regularly if going bank or food shopping but nothing else can be done.

The only thing I’ve noticed is that nothing not even Covid 19 will stop a man who wants to get laid

I did think initially when I started back that it would be quiet or dead even and punters wouldn’t punt   but that’s really not been the case as far as I can see .

I am only going to meet with clients I know until the spring when in theory things will be a lot calmer.

Since the new variant only meeting with clients who have visited me before, as mentioned above.

In addition throughout the pandemic I have always vetted their occupation.  High risk occupations are no go.  I don't meet with those who work in warehouses factories or offices either right now.

Hope this vaccine rollout is going to help matters but with the buffoons in government I still think this coming year will be a bit crap.

Well I was working in a massage parlour at the moment, but that's obviously shut again now, so I'm pretty despairing  :(
