It is so hot in my work room, I close the blinds and open the windows but I realise I need a fan/cooler.
Only i remember fans to be very noisy - any one know of quiet ones?
thanks
-
The dyson one without a question. The best fan you'll ever buy ever. They're amazzing. I've just ordered one.

I bought a tower fan in Currys (I think!) and it even came with a tiny remote control which is helpful! Only ?20 odd pound and brilliant!
It's still in storage but am collecting it today so if you want the details I can post up again but I am pretty sure the make is Matsui and has a tiny remote control which fits in nicely in a slot on the top when not in use.

That sounds great, will have to get one of those tower ones.
Many Thanks

I bought air con for a good ?300. It helped a bit but only 2oc difference!??
My clients & i are sweating & it's just in general not enjoyable to sexersize in this heat. My door is open. Idk what to do about the heat? Or have i just bought a crap air con :s
-
Is it one that has a hosepipe that you put outside the window?
I have one and wouldnt be without it on days like this and it can drop 5 degrees depending on the size of the room.
You should be able to set it to the desired temperature.
When it was 30 degrees in the room I set it to 24 degrees and it lowered the temp down in about an hour.
-
Have you got the doors and windows closed while it's on? If not, the aircon won't work as the heat will still be getting in (bit like having a gas fire on in winter with the windows open, same principle but in reverse).
-
Ok I'll stick it closer outside i guess. My only problem is, i have to open the blinds & door (apartment) as no window only door in the main bedroom
-
Air con is brilliant. I have mine set so that my room is like the freezer section in Asda. meaning my room is really cold and the guys are loving it. Mine is set at 15 so even when going full at it no one is sweating too much.
It makes so much difference having a cold room in this weather especially as lately I have guys ringing and the first thing they ask is "is your room cool".
-
2 tower fans and my sash windows are totally open. No hold ups, hair scraped back, chugging iced tea...still too hot!
-
At ?300 I'd expect asda freezer. I need to take it off my profile, hell, I'm going to send it back. Do i need to fork out in the ?600 range then?
-
at least in our line of work you don't have to wear clothes! :P
I feel sorry for the people in suits and uniforms, they must have it bad in this heat!
-
Lots of ice water.... which can be fun for blow jobs. I should get a fan. If the heatwave I've read about for August is really going to come, then I think I'll buy a fan, as well.
-
Move to Scotland .... You won't have that problem rofl!
-
Anyone taking a week off for the heatwave? I bought air con last year but it sucked and i did spend a few hundred on it so not sure why it didn't make much of a difference. I'm melting without getting my sexersize on
-
I'm toasting in the street, shoes off...loves it! lol :D
.....Oh you mean for work, no one seems
to be sweating buckets, it's just nicer.
I open the window an inch.
-
Send some heat my way, will you? We have the coldest summer in... 20 years? It's like 14 degrees on a good day. ><
-
I have sun burnt boobies oddly just on my boobs from a festival I went to that looks silly so im vampiring the sun after learning i'm too red head for it :L
-
I wondered when this year's thread would start ;D.
I've had a good day in my nice cool flat then walked home along the beach and had an ice cream, although I wound up with loads of towels to wash as everybody wants a shower. Tomorrow I'm off to London and an airconditioned hotel room for the rest of the week with somebody else doing the laundry, so I'm happy with it :D.
If an airconditioning unit I'd spend hundreds on wasn't working, I'd take it back. Make sure you have the doors and windows shut when it's on though.
-
It may seem counter-intuitive, but I follow the Mediterranean method and keep windows and doors shut between about 9am and 7pm, so you let the cooler air at night and keep the warmer air out during the day.
The highest/top floor (if you're not in a flat) especially keep the windows wide open overnight if it's feasible security wise.
I also have a big floor-standing fan.
-
In bookings if you can't get a decent cross breeze then an oscillating fan helps... and then bring ice cubes into play. Use ice cubes in your mouth for oral, for example, or just run the cube across their bodies. And drink it. With the fan blowing on you it will help you stay cool.
-
"Where's all the frozen food gone..."
"Oh that, yea, i'm not surviving this heatwave sex without an army of ice cubes"
I can hear the conversation with my room mate now :D
-
Dyson hot + cold fans are very versatile, expensive but quiet and useful for a heat boost during cold weather when waiting for heating to kick in.
-
I managed to go out and score a small bucket and the last two bags of ice at Sainsburys. Even though I've got AC here I think having some ice will be nice.
-
A damp bedsheet over a fan works like a budget AC unit.
-
For quick (but short) relief run your wrists (palms up) under cold running tap. It's something to do with pulse points...
-
Yes, or wash your hair and leave it, so the back of your neck gets cold.
After my 'normal' shower, if the heat gets to me I just sit in a tepid bath, and leave the water - it's good for one or two more dips! I have just before bed, don't dry myself, and lie on top of the covers with the fan on me - bliss.
-
Move to Scotland .... You won't have that problem rofl!
Oh dunno about that Lady_Lust lol, last july was pretty bloody hot, and the beginning of the week was horrendous!!
For me anyway, I hate the heat, and I hate sweaty smelly clients. It doesn't matter if I make them have a shower,
after 5 minutes in the bedroom they're reeking of B.O again >:(
I must admit it never lasts long enough or is quite as bad up here as it is down south, defo not enough heat to
invest in airconditioning lol, a fan at the very most ;)
-
I keep getting asked to wear latex! I have a latex bra and knickers which I choose over the dresses or catsuits in this heat x
-
Not sure on the linking rules but google "DIY air conditioner." Costs about ?25 to make. I havn't tried it yet but looks simple (the thrifty couple) is the blog i found it on
Basically just a styrofoam cooler with holes cut out for pvc pipes and a mini fan with frozen water bottles inside. I'm crap at crafts and this does actually look really simple i made it sound complicated trying to explain it lol. It just kind of blows the cool air from the frozen water bottles you put inside. Imma try it. :-*
-

Lol I had the sane in Dubai its45 degrees plus and wearing a PVC catsuit is not fun
-
shall be using sun lotion in the day time as massage cream on my clients and aftersun later on lol !!!
I always run ice cold water over my feet and legs in the bath it seems to cool all my body down
-
At ?300 I'd expect asda freezer. I need to take it off my profile, hell, I'm going to send it back. Do i need to fork out in the ?600 range then?
hey Ieaio, has the AC unit got a plug for water or has the unit been serviced, Vents cleans etc?
?300 for an AC unit which doesn't work sound very expensive you should go give it back and tell them its not working.
-
When it was really hot i had fan in room and ice cubes ready for drinks and a sweat towels for the blokes
-
Lady_Lust was right for this year anyway, just come up to Scotland, it's like winter here ;)
-

I was just about to say.. "what fecking heat, had the central heating on today" lol
-
I keep my baby wipes in the fridge before bookings
-
How does everybody manage to work with this heat and humidity this week?
I got soaked yesterday and was barely moving I had to keep wiping with kitchen roll. I do not cope well with humidity.
Also my make up gets streaked if I do in the bathroom at present so I am having to put on downstairs!
The bathroom gets hot and sticky.
On top of that my neighbour is in and out like a flippin' yoyo sorting out their drive that they are upgrading. He is doing the job himself and he is a highly observant type so I have had to only see one a day or cancel people.
I just wish he would sort out the drive this has been going on for about 3 weeks .....!
Just having a rant and a moan lol.
-
Funny I nearly put up a similar thread. I'm terrible in the heat (very fair skinned). I'm used to living near the sea, both cooler & with a breeze but currently inland in a tiny maisonette so struggling with it.
If your bedroom/workroom faces the sun most of the day and you cannot get a thro breeze with windows open in there and another room accross the way, the best thing to do is close the window, all you are doing is bringing warmer air in. Close the blinds/curtains (the continental way).
Invest in a good quality fan. The saving grace of this place is it has a large free standing fan which does actually create coolness (unlike the smaller ones which just push around warm air) and use in the bedroom/workroom.
Consider not wearing make up. I cannot wear it much anyway as I get a skin reaction.
Make sure to drink lots of fluids (way more than normal).
Can't help with the neighbour I'm araid!
-
Could you go and start a 'friendly' conversation about the drive and how the job's going?
I sympathise with everybody suffering - my flat doesn't get hot, but I did an outcall to a top floor one a couple of weeks ago and I felt ill by the time I left. I had trouble getting dressed because my clothes were sticking to me and I thank God I went in civvies and not stockings and suchlike.
-
I have tried the sympathetic neighbourly chat Amy but the poor bugger has numerous health issues as does his wife and it is probably all they can do to stagger it out over weeks to get it actually done.....!
-
My main tip is to keep all windows and doors closed during the day, as well as curtains/blinds on south/west facing walls, and then open them all at night. Make an exception for one window as high up (if you're in a place with more than one level) as possible to allow hot air to escape.
Have frequent tepid/lukewarm showers or baths.
Stay well hydrated with plain water.
A fan can help.
-
There are some really great tips on this thread!
-
I don't like the heat and the sun doesn't agree with my skin either, I got one of those dyson coolers last year, bit pricy but excellent, I take it to work with me.
-
I had an outcall in a hotel in this heat. I had my hair extension in (my little animal). I was sweating so much, my own hair went frizzy and curly and the extension stayed straight. You can imagine what a twat I looked like by the end.
-
I just have a regular fan on top of table, seems to work fine. I'm not too bothered by the heat and humidity but I have noticed my clients are still sweaty even after a shower. I also keep the window open to create a breeze. I'm not a fan of A/C and would not buy it for a few days a year. My flat does keep fairly cool though compared to outside.
-
I have a big floor fan, get a good breeze even on low.
Although I am a weirdo who basically has her window open all year round cause its too hot.
-
I too have a floor fan that's powerful but not much heat here in Belfast this summer. The cold nights are already here.
-
Tower fan and back door is always open. The fan is brilliant.
-
Yesterday where I'm based for in call was horrible. No fan :FF
Glad for the cooler weather / rain today.
Anyone else much prefer working when it's not scorching outside?
I think it's my OCD that kicks in, but getting ready for a client when it's humid and sticky indoors bugs me. And then the client sweating allover me on top of that :-X
-
Have a look in Wickes - they're selling an oscillating tower fan for £50. It's the bomb. Really easy to transport and takes up hardly any floor space. It was an absolute lifesaver this weekend in a hotel with no aircon.
-
It's not nice is it. ::)
Hair and make up usually goes bad unless fan on air-conditioning.
Clients can shower if they have time too as I appreciate they want to be fresh well the nice cleans ones.
Others don't care :FF

Oh my goodness this has just reminded me of a booking my duo
Partner and I had about this time last year, it happened to be the hottest May day on record, and there we were in a hotel room that had no A/C dressed head to toe in PVC! Our clothes were literally dripping wet when we took them off! So from then on I only book rooms with A/C!

Well I wasn't head to toe but did have PVC on last week and even my hair got wet , I just laughed and said its like I'm running a marathon in a bin bag , I'm going to be thinner lol
-
I'm going to be thinner lol
Certainly one way to lose a couple pounds! lol
-
You can get some fab spray cooling mist from the pound shop! It’s a lifesaver!
-
Excellent tip ! Shame it doesn't work for hey fever !
-
OMG, what does everyone else do ? it's just so hot and it really affects my performance. What does everyone do to keep cool ? I guess at least we don't wear many clothes generally ! I had a guy book me for 2 hours the other day, I said just 1 will do me !!
C x
-
A client had booked an hour he walked out after 20 minutes claiming the hotel room was too humid.
I think he was being fussy mind. Air con is definitely a plus in these hotel rooms though!
Next week I def. have air con.
At least he didn't demand a refund.
-
I bought a Dyson Desk top fan
It's bloody amazing I have slept loads better since I bought it
It comes everywhere with me even in the hotels that have aircon
-
How much did it cost Paris?
-
I look like side show bob, my hair cannot take humidity. Fans do not help me with my hair. Was thinking of putting my wig on, but whilst it may look better than my frizzball it's too dam sweaty and hot.
Going to braid it and keep it tied away.
-
Do you put your hair up in the heat instead?
I always have it down because it looks better but tempted to pull it up when I get back to work
-
How much did it cost Paris?
£240 direct from Dyson site . Expensive but worth every penny . I've had the best nights sleep since I bought it
-
Yes may well get one of the Dyson fans the way the summer is going blimey.
-
The thing that bugs me is that when it gets hot, I seem to bring out those clients who like to specify what I should be wearing for an appointment and have a fetish for winter clothes or uniforms. I have taken uniforms and role play off my likes list for the hot season - but I still have a regular who wants me to dress up as a secretary complete with opaques tights, thick knickers, business skirt and heels. I have given up wearing it in advance of arrival - when he gets here, I get dressed up and at least it uses up some of the booking time - but oh, my goodness, it is unbearable wearing it just for 2 minutes. Glad I don't work in a high end office.
-
As a larger girl I feel the heat more I think!
One guy tells me he loves it when I get sweaty I think I not at my best in that state!
-
Thinking to purchase a little air con unit from Argos. They do one that is affordable and small.
Room fan is just circulating warm air around :FF

Me too - if they are still available.
This heat is unbearable. I have zero energy. This could go on another 2 months.
I will never complain about snow ever again!!!

I had a booking today for a guy who wants me to wear the whole set of hooker outfit - holdups, skirt, heels and all that for an incall. I refused and said that I would do it only when the temperature drops. He then came back and asked what I normally wear in hot weather - I replied that my choice is my fave holiday bikini....... 2 emails later, I have a booking for tomorrow where I will be wearing a bikini from the start! A first for me and defo better for the hot day we will be having. Anyone else done a booking in beach wear? I'll just have to make sure there is no sand in the crotch - hee hee.

No would not do that unless after they have paid up then i might put it on but i do not like answering the door too revealing incase they walk and get a thrill from it.
The bikini will come off though won't it quite quick anyway?

I still wear my holdups, sexy underwear set in this weather, with the room fans on. But just with a thin lace robe on top rather than dress / skirt on top . It’s my all time work in call outfit. I just won’t to any pvc or anything like that in this weather.

Now showing at 29 pound & 4.5 star reviews :) Are they better than a desk fan?

I was wondering about these. You have to have them quite close to you don't you though? I've seen them on amazon for under 30 quid.
I noticed some handheld water misters in QD yesterday for 2.99. I've been using organic rose water spray to cool me down but I may try one of those.
It's so annoying when you go somewhere & there's no air con or fan. :-\ I do bring a desk fan from home incase.
-
I've been putting my hair up and wearing minimal make-up. I've also told clients in advance that I'm not as glammed up as usual due to the heat, and no-one has had a problem with it. They've all agreed that it's far too hot.
-
Me too - if they are still available.

Frozen bottle of water behind the fan!
-
Hello!
I have noticed that clients are not staying as long as usual, I have done everything but the room gets just crazy hot >:( hotel would be a good strategy, maybe worth including aircon info on the ad!
-
Don't bother with the Dyson fan - had a couple of clients who have them and they are just like a normal fan and cost plus £200!
It was reviewed on an ITV programme a while back and basically a cheap normal fan was just as good!
Stick your feet in cold water for a while - cools down the whole body - minus the stockings of course!
Probably only another 2 months of the heat wave to go and then we can start talking about things to warm us up - apparently the Dyson fan is a heater too for the colder months................

Last year I bought the Dyson that does heating and cooling, the way it's worded makes you think it works like an air conditioner more than a fan which was exactly what I wanted. But it was average at best, didn't cool the room down at all so I returned it to Currys and had a huge argument with them about how they couldn't refund blah blah but for £400 I didn't leave until they did. Anyway back to sex work lol, I replaced it with a £20 fan that did a better job. I was using it for camming at the time and I still do, now I take my fan with me to hotels that have no air con.
In hotels I try to work out which rooms have the sun on them and which don't, that makes a big difference to how hot the room is as you can't always run the fan, especially at night it can be noisy. Also some hotels have air con that doesn't work all that well, I tend to check how good it is when I arrive and if it's crap ask them to change my room. If you stay in the same hotel quite often you tend to get familiar with them!
Working when it's hot is awful, sex is just about the last thing you want when it's like this. But I will suffer for the £££!

So glad it’s cooled down. I love the summer but this year is unbearable! One of my clients loves me in a basque and sheer stockings. Fine usually but these last few weeks I’ve been melting! And the pvc mistress boots I’ve put into temp storage! It’s been a relief to be totally naked with a regular recently!
Full service being resumed!
-
I've really been struggling with the hot weather so not been working much.
Just wondered how everyone is coping.
I find it embarrassing when I'm dripping with sweat. I bought a fan but still struggling.
-
I don't think anyone feels sexy in a prolonged heatwave. I know some men get excited seeing young women wearing skimpy clothes as they're out and about, but when it comes down to it, do they really have the energy to shag? Especially now hotels are an issue and not all that many residential buildings have air con.
The only booking I've done recently, he asked if I'd wear tights... Get in the sea!
-
I am not working until September but will buy a cheap tower fan if need be as my room is south facing. I mulled over purchasing the Dyson but read reviews so decided against it.
-
I have a tower fan which I bought 2 years ago in Wickes and it's basically my boyfriend now. (His name is... wait for it... Fanando!)
Just search Wickes for "tower fan". I have the black one. It's about 3ft high. It oscillates, has 3 power settings, and a timer, so you can set it when you go to bed and then it will go off by itself up to 2hrs later. It seems remarkably quiet to me but I do have some hearing loss. But never had a problem with clients hearing me or vice versa when it's on maximum.
During bookings I just point it at the bed. I couldn't work without it.
-
I have a Logik fan that cost £20 and it's great and very portable. I bought it after returning some Dyson thing that cost £400 and was rubbish. My logik fan is much better.
-
I'm lucky that my flat has aircon, but I'm only putting it on in the bedroom for bookings and to sleep
because I'm too tight to run the electric up, which means that anybody opening the bedroom door after to go for a shower gets to feel like they've been smothered in an electric blanket as soon as they step into the hallway ;D.
I find that keeping the windows shut and the blinds at least halfway down helps as well as tying my hair up out of the way, but I wouldn't have been able to work this last week without the aircon either - it was 37 degrees here on Monday (32 today) and I'd have given it up as a bad job. I nearly passed out just staggering to the Tesco Express.
-
I'm lucky the properties I've tended to have are shady, very cool buildings, my location tends to experience lower temperatures than other parts of the country and less than cities. Only one a new build flat was ever a problem.
Really good in this weather, cooler inside than out which makes large heating problem in winter but great right now. Clients do comment how lovely and cool it is on arrival, and I am hit by the heat when I go outside. This can be an issue when I dress for inside before setting off out, realise I'm over dressed within a few meters outside the front door or when I get in a roasting vehicle.
-
I am really struggling as I sweat a lot!
I've been putting my wet wipes in the fridge for freshening up and also a towel in the freezer for putting round my shoulders when clients are in the shower. It helps a bit!
-
Swear to god the rash from them sweating up against you in doggy with their hairy legs. I’m red raw. I had to go buy a fan and sudocreme today and am currently sat in a starfish on the floor. I’ve got three days left of my tour then I’m sitting in a cold bath for days ;D
-
I literally ask this every summer😆, but do houses/apartments/flats/hotels/bedsits etc over there not HAVE air conditioning? And for chrissakes, why not?
It’s standard here stateside in *most* states; granted not all. I know when I was in Montana visiting fam how appalled I was their house had none (it was June & I about died; they didn’t understand lol).
Is it a cost thing or a “we just don’t need it.” thing? I can never remember.

Sadly, no!
Very few hotels and apartments have air con as standard. Most places have central heating as legendarily, we have a cool climate.
The UK is becoming hotter and I honestly think people will install aircon in the next few years. It's expensive to do a full house but only a few hundred for each room.
To have even one room with aircon would be a Godsend!
For next year's summer touring I'm going to buy a portable aircon/dehumidifier. My friend bought one last week and it's really good and was only about £100 on Amazon. I might still get one but I'm on tour for 12 weeks and my car is already chocoblock plus not all the places I'm using are suitable for delivery. I reckon I've lasted this long so I'll manage but make sure I am better prepared for next year.
-
It's only hot a few weeks a year, if that, here. Not worth the expense and space for air con. Not to mention the extra energy usage and its financial and environmental implications. Makes more sense to have a fan for the 1 or 2 weeks a year you need it.

This. Not sure if £400 air con with dodgy reviews needed a few days a year for exceptional heat is worth it. Apparently the electric bill is massive too.

Plus once it breakdown or faulty it will cost and arm and a leg to get someone out to you just to repair it.
-
I don't agree that most hotels don't have aircon - it's very rare I've stayed in one that doesn't, and nor would I unless it was guaranteed to be cold.
It's worth remembering that energy is a lot cheaper in the US than here, so while I don't think the power consumption is the main factor (plenty of people have tumble dryers, which are horrific in terms of energy use), it's just not a priority when it would only be needed maybe two weeks of the year even in the South. Many buildings are old and would be hard to install it, and most of the new ones are cheaply built at best.
That said, you can buy a small aircon unit for less than £100 and if I didn't have it built in at my work flat I would have done that rather than use a fan to just push the hot air around. Had it not been for mine I would not have slept for the last week and definitely not have worked - it was 38 degrees here last Friday and just impossible. If it breaks down, the agency get it fixed.
As for tumble dryers, I had to finish some work towels off in mine last night to stop them drying all cardboardy and it was like fucking Hades in here until I caved and put the aircon back on. Thank God it's settling down a bit.
-
Thank you guys♥️💋!!
*Airlifts a load of ice🧊cubes to everyone*

I relish the heat and get more motivated the hotter and brighter it gets. I don't have air con so I open the windows and use a small fan for breeze for clients which seems fine. I'm a small desert animal.
-
What is it with guys that makes them want to fuck in ridiculous heat, been reasonably busy all week whilst it's been unbearable and even had to turn some down as so many wanting same time lunchtime appts then we finally get a much cooler day with a nice breeze and ... not one enquiry :FF
-
Thankfully it's much cooler now so can work again.
The last few days just been constantly sweating and not even doing much, taking two showers each day. Felt so unsexy.
Might need to consider getting something for next year
-
I am not working until September but I have ordered a Tower fan off ebay. I doubt I will need it but better than sweltering heat I wouldn't have coped had I been working.
-
I didn't even find it that hot to be honest :).
-
Yes, or wash your hair and leave it, so the back of your neck gets cold.
After my 'normal' shower, if the heat gets to me I just sit in a tepid bath, and leave the water - it's good for one or two more dips! I have just before bed, don't dry myself, and lie on top of the covers with the fan on me - bliss.
Sounds perfect :)
I keep taking cold showers unfortunately I'm having hot flushes although I've not been working recently the fan is on constantly

Hi all.
Just wondered if anyone will be working today on the hottest day of the year.
I've decided to just work until lunchtime as I hate it when I get sweaty and can't stand mens sweaty bodies all over me either.

I am working the only position I do are two reverse cow girl and to finish d.o.g.y. so no sweat is dripping on me with the usual missionary position. I am getting every client to have a shower a must as I do all year round regardless of what season we are in. Windows wide open good thing is most hotels have a fan supply you with one.
-
I’m working but I’m always usually freezing even in 20 degrees so I’m loving this heat without having to turn the heating on x

Unless there's a strong breeze, you're betting off keeping windows closed (and curtains drawn if south/west facing) from about 11am to 5/6pm, or else you're just letting hot air in.

We haven't had the heatwave here hottest it got was 21 degrees, today only up to mid teens - I am similar love the warmth but only because I am sensitive to cold.
-
The heatwave that's forecast for a large part of England on Monday and Tuesday is being classed as a level 4 emergency! There's mention of roads melting, rail lines buckling and loss of life.
I've got a couple of prebookings but am considering clearing my diary for the heatwave and wondered what others are doing?
-
Planning to work albeit only for a few hours due to childcare, unless school is cancelled. Otherwise I'll just sit in my garden and enjoy it and hope I get 1 or 2 shorter bookings.
-
Will never work in that type of heatwave unless i had air con in the room and pre booked regulars but even that i would not want to travel to the work location so probably no anyway. I cannot see many men wanting to book anyone or even go out in that type of heat.
-
Merged (again)
-
I've extended my tour in my wonderful air-conditioned hotel but have cancelled my tour which would have been over the Tuesday and Wednesday next week.
The hotel I would have been going to will be like an oven. The windows barely open.
I've worked all through the hottest days of the last two years and they were insufferable (I even put towels in the freezer for clients) so there's not a chance in hell I'm working.
100 degrees is not for me.

You need to be as comfortable as possible especially in this heat .The last thing you'd want is to be feeling like your in an oven any place like that with no coolant is awful
-
Have already paid for accommodation for Tues onwards but not going to work Tuesday I can't cope in the heat just hope Wednesday is cooler.
For working out at home I got a great floor fan Xpower from Amazon which is amazing and I'll use that if it's hot at work with a bowl of ice infront of it. Seriously thinking of only doing 30 minutes bookings as I can't be doing with a hour bookings. For future I'm going to save hard so I can take July and August off, This kind if heat might be the new norm now for our summers.

I was really thankful that I had already booked the hotel I'm currently in as I know the aircon here is reliably good so I'm basking in the (chilled) smug zone while I'm here, cooler than I would have been at home and as long as I'm in profit from my stay here it will be a win/ win.
Last week though was a struggle in a hotel with a big fan, even keeping it facing the bed, and I turned down all outcall requests in the days between incalls. Would rather lose out on some ££ and stay glam (in the fevered imagination of the average client anyway) than try to be a red faced and sweaty frizzy haired sex goddess ;D

I had the same thought this morning, I've done a cple of 30 mins today and it's been fine, more lucrative too :)
The thought of an hour or more in this heat is enough to send me into meltdown!
-
The thought of some other persons hot body on top of mine in this heat 🥵
Especially an unappealing one
-
It’s hot here in Scotland…it’s so annoying. This heat is killing my clients :FF :FF I’m actually fine but they’re just dripping all over me. I can’t believe I’m checking air conditioners on Amazon.

If you buy a portable air conditioner buy one with two pipes. One is an inlet. The other is an exhaust. The second pipe carries away the heat from the heat exchanger. It doesn't give your place air pressure problems and is more efficient.
I'm lucky my place is cool in summer. It's a bit of a pig to heat in winter though.
-
Omg I was sweating buckets and drinking so much water. If was awful
And I'm not even doing full service yet.

The Ice cold showers are such a relief

I think it's the heat that's putting them off.
A few weeks ago it was too wet and miserable and people were pissed off with that, now they don't want to be sweating in this heat! :FF It can never be just right!
I'm getting 1 or 2 a day but they tend to want to come first thing before it gets too hot.
Rain and thunderstorms forcast for next week and much as I hate to say it... bring it on!
I've just bought a small aircon cube for 30 quid in home bargains, just freeze the water holders and it will cool for up to 8 hours and it's brilliant
Advertise as having aircon and see if that helps

Wow that sounds good. Must look out for that in our local Home Bargains. Though I guess you could also purchase it online. I possess a really good pedestal fan but it is so noisy.
-
I've moved these last couple of posts in here, since there is lots of good advice already to add it too :)

I can confirm it does - I get at least a couple of texts a day mentioning it (I have central air, thank Christ).

Yes I have something similar and mention it in my advertising but it's been just regs this week, it doesn't seem to be attracting any newbies, also a no show today.

I found a really good tower one in Argos and it was only about £50 at the time

I'm mega struggling (so are the few clients I'm seeing at the min) my neighbours garden is directly under my bedroom window. They are out there all day - fair enough - but I'm way to paranoid to try and work with the windows open. Consequently I'm almost expiring in this heat despite having two fans going :( I'm actually thinking of not working til the heatwave is over ,

It depends a lot on where you are, but if it's any consolation having the windows open might not make that much difference anyway (at least if it's anything like Central London).
I think it's set to start cooling off from tomorrow :)
-
I've really struggled to do much webcamming at all in the last few days as have to keep the window shut so no-one outside can hear my voice or toys. I lasted about 40 minutes this morning and gave up as I had turned a deep shade of red and my hair had frizzed right up.
Luckily I have a few days of incalls next in air conditioned hotel rooms, can't wait ;D
-
It's been fine where I am, shady property, shady less then cities surrounds. Then storms hit and I have to cancel an outcall it is rare I cancel if ever, I have driven through floods before but not tonight Josephine.
-
To be honest I love being warm and my bedroom and bathroom kept cool but I was quiet on cam and only a couple of regulars looks like back to normal Manchester x
