Posts unrelated to sex work removed. Please stay on topic :)

And again, since no attempt at all is being made to even tenuously link to sex work. I'd really rather not lock it, but all that means is a lot of premods instead.

If you want to have a general discussion about pandemics, restrictions, policing and so on, please do so on a general discussion forum.

Back on topic I've had an OK week plus a couple of regulars booked for next week, but I have my rent money for next month now and I'm going to sack it after that and edit my ads accordingly. The twatcalls/emails are vastly outweighing the sensible ones now and I can't be arsed with it, although regulars know they can text and if I'm about they can come over. No travel problems for anyone bar the usual engineering works, but I think the cold weather will put a fair few off too.

I had a 2hr outcall booked for early next week with someone i seen before that he booked over 2 weeks ago he is a hermit and lives alone but i have cancelled it as too risky being 20 miles away from home and it is not like i could say popping to supermarket or going for a drive to walk.

You're allowed to travel to work, although you'd probably have to throw in a therapeutic massage or something. I can't imagine you'd likely be asked anyway, but then I've never lived anywhere with enough police to come out if you're burgled, let alone question random people going about their business.

Well i did thoroughly look into the travelling for work and close contact jobs etc and Osteopath/Chiropractor not that i am one of them but just an example they cannot visit clients at there home unless evidence produced why the client cannot go to there office from a doctor etc.

It would be my luck being pulled over by police and the booking was for 7.30pm so i would be travelling home late with no excuse. I have seen a few police on foot not too far from where i live just walking so they are about but i think it depends where people live. If i could do day time and he lived a bit nearer i might have done it plus he is a very easy client and someone i don't mind spending time with. Oh well nevermind.

I had four bookings prebooked for this week, 3 of them regs. All of the regs cancelled soon after the annoucement of lockdown. Did the fourth one and now I'm not bothering until next month at the earliest, because like others, the amount of twats I'm getting contact me is unreal and making me want to bang my head against the wall.  :FF

I was going to tour for 3 days next week. But I decided to cancel. The flat is 2h from my city and it will be too stressful to travel...
I hope numbers of cases will drop till the end of March so I can come back to work. I'll tour every week to keep up with my targets.
If I would work from own flat I would probably see regulars like you guys...

Even then though there may be the issue of neighbours. It looks like restrictions are going to get tighter if anything, and there are plenty of people who will be straight on the phone to the police if they see someone having a lot of visitors (or even one).

Kay I think because we only hear about the people getting caught and not the people getting away with things, the reporting thing is skewered.

I'm glad I've saved so I can take time off for now and I do think people are concerned enough to stay home that the numbers should come down, but as soon as that's reported, the worry is people will slack up on staying at home, myself included because I don't want to spend my savings. I'm playing it by ear at the moment.

Exactly - I suspect it depends where you are and what your incall is like in a similar (but amplified) way to how it normally does. If you're trying to work surrounded by nosy saddos with no life then something like this would be the perfect opportunity for them, but then again, the police will likely be sick of hearing from them every time the lady from over the road says hello to somebody passing by as she's putting the bin out. In my experience they know who these people are.

Thankfully a big advantage to Central London is that people have better things to think about, plus (in my building at least) the various delivery drivers are in and out so often it's impossible to tell who's doing what and even harder to care :).

I'm finding it all too stressful and I've gone from enjoying the freedoms escorting allowed me to know feeling it's a huge effort and the legalities of lockdown rules means if i work in another town i am breaking the law travelling. For the days I planned to work most cancelled on the day. For my own sanity and health I'm going to take time off until March and concentrate on my health and mental wellbeing ready for when I can work again.  Times are tough for all of us and I don't like how the police are more present on the streets and the nosey neighbours that might report visitors.  Felt really positive after the first lockdown and seemed like things could get back to like before first lockdown but now I think we are in for hard times until Autumn. Will be using savings again and will focus on getting back to work March unless things somehow take a turn for the better.

I just toured 2 hours away from home got the train with no problems carriage was pretty much empty there and back business on the tour was decent to not much competition at all in certain areas hotels are closed so a lot less ladies are working. I find it quite stress free traveling at the moment in normal circumstances when the stations and trains where packed that was stressful. Anyone travelling by train reccomend you do your self a packed lunch cause places to buy food from inside/near some stations are limited with everything been closed an trains only selling basic refreshments or none at all.

I can’t comment on driving long distance not sure if anyone be getting a pic of thier Reg took if you are far away from home. But I have found train travel just fine.

If you are working in flat or apartments (I think working from a house not a good idea at the moment) just be mindful that people are all at home so turn buzzer volume down or off if possible in flat I was in I just kept them on the phone and was able to press the button on the buzzer and release the door lock with out them actually having to press the buzzer, put your phone on vibrate last thing you want is it ringing into the corridor if you have it in your hand when you let client in an close the door gently and keep voices down at the door just basically apply the same discretion you do working from a hotel room.

I stopped working last March and didn’t come back to work until June not a chance am I stopping again unless I get rona my self.

Evening all.

Once we finally start getting through the list or those in an area where you are required to would you state it?

Do you think it would make a difference or would you get more annoying calls.

*cheers moderators wasn’t sure if it was new or a merge.

Merged wirh exising thread - lets keep it contained :)

I'm maybe missing something massively obvious here, but why would I put sensitive personal/medical information about myself on my ads?

I wonder if it’s going to become a case of those saying they have had it and punters wanting it. Though from what I can read into it you can still carry the virus just not be heavily affected.

And if a punter told you he'd had a vaccine, would you believe him?

To be honest I wouldn’t trust them but we know they don’t think the way we do!
Until I get mine I wouldn’t feel safe.
