Feet are the last thing I look at and the least of my worries. I'm nowhere near their feet.

Fresh breath, pits and tackle is my priority.

That saying, I've seen some skanky toenails (fungal or otherwise) but not that many.

 I wouldn't expect a return visit from a client if I asked them to put their socks back on when they came out the shower!

The fact anyone is asking clients to 'keep' their socks on, implies they haven't showered and that makes me feel nauseous.

To come back to what Fallen angel and Amy were saying, I think it's not about being judgmental towards people who have nail fungus, but I think it's true that many people are not aware of this kind of conditions since it's not something you can die from basically (or strongly affects your health), so in general people simply don't care (especially if the person having a nail fungus has been living with this for years, it became a normality for them).

So if people who have this don't want to treat it/don't have the financial resources maybe to do so, well fine, it's their own business, however they shouldn't be surprised neither offended if a service provider asks them to keep their socks on during a booking because at this point it affects not only the client but can also affect the service provider herself. So if the SP doesn't feel comfortable with that and feels scared for her own health, then I think it seems sensible to take measure to avoid cross contamination.

Same for genital warts as example, many people are not aware of them and keep that on like it's normal, but then clients shouldn't be surprised if a SP who provides OWO will only agree to do OW or refuse to provide the service completely.

It is really not the same as genital warts - these pose a risk to all of us (even with condoms) because it's going to be pretty hard for prostitutes to avoid making contact with genitals; I'm sure the reason many of us will go in for a blowjob before actual shagging is so that we can have a good look for stuff that might be lurking where we may make genital contact whilst feet are neither here nor there. If I did encounter somebody with a raging toenail infection I might ask them to put on socks too, but that would be a once in a blue moon thing and I certainly wouldn't apply it to the rest of my clients.

Actually from thinking back to previous posts OP, you do work (and I think always have worked) in a part of London where I found the punters more unpleasant, entitled and difficult than anywhere else, which is most of the city at some point over the last fifteen years or so. Obviously that doesn't make them any more likely to have dodgy feet than anybody else, but it might partly explain why you seem to be having such a crap time of it workwise at the moment. Unfortunately 'why don't you work somewhere with fewer cunts' isn't a terribly helpful suggestion, I know :-\.

Funny thing is i never really thought about this subject when working but if i really think i probably have seen a couple with yellow fungus nails but just never thought how it would affect me.

I am not bothered by ugly feet or toe nails too much like i am the areas of bad hygiene is my main problem.

Saying that though i do know that some nail fungus problems can take a really long time to treat and couple of other people i know took about 9 months to get it under control.

I don't think i would ask every client to keep socks on that does sound a bit odd but if i was someone who kept getting clients with these nail infections i probably would just make sure via the booking on the phone that they are fine or write it on my profile. I am not sure how catching it could be for us if it's on the nails compared to if it was on the sole of the foot.

Even way this subject will probably make me look at feet more now when doing bookings.

Having overgrown toenails (which could be black for any number of reasons) doesn't affect the booking in the same way as being unclean or smelly or having rotten teeth does though, or at least I can't see how it would - I've not had to deal with any of the above beyond the occasional manly armpit for a long time. I suppose they could get snagged in the bedding.

Either way nobody who is paying any service provider has any reason to feel embarrassed about their bodies and that was the part of the post which sounded judgemental whether or not it was intentional - maybe he has difficulty cutting his toenails and can't afford/access a chiropodist, or maybe he just doesn't give a shit? What has 'self awareness' got to do with anything - I don't give a ratfuck what anyone thinks of the way I look when I go out in public, and if my appearance offends somebody they're more than able to swivel their eyeballs in a different direction and look at something else?

Where are all these people with foot problems? I had the odd verruca when I was school age and athletes foot once when I had to wear shit synthetic shoes at a retail job thirty years or so ago, and that's about it - I honestly can't recall ever seeing any of this on a punter. I know that doesn't mean there hasn't been any, just that it would never occur to me to look. Mostly because I'm not a farmer sizing them up at a cattle market.

As I said, fungal nail infections are contagious and as his was such an extreme case I was not comfortable taking the risk.
I don't and never have, judged anyone on their body shape or size but contagious conditions are a different matter.
The guy was by no means elderly, infact relatively young and slightly overweight so can't think why he would not be able to cut his own toenails like most adults can and if he can afford regular visits to escorts it seems unlikely that he couldn't afford a chiropodist so that just leaves "he just didn't give a shit" which is the most likely reason or maybe he gets a kick out of freaking out SP's with his grotesque toenails, who knows.
As to your question "where are all these people with foot problems"  just because you have been lucky enough to never encounter them doesn't mean they don't exist.
As I said, he was the worst and most extreme case I have ever seen, the odd fungal nail of normal proportions doesn't bother me too much.
I'm not a farmer sizing them up at a cattle market either Amy, rather an odd thing to add I thought, with no real relevance to the discussion.

Yes feet can have a variety of appearances but never had then affect the booking, apart from;

Someone who wore holey socks, holey everything else, was smelly, and very difficult to make arrangements with, was unreliable. I told him I could not see him any longer.

Has anyone noticed the new sock effect, usually around Christmas or punter/client birthdays? Usually only a particular type of sock, type with fluff inside.

Yes! I have a pale coloured carpet in my bedroom and spend most of January picking black sock fluff out of it from the new Christmas socks :D

Oh don't get me started on sock fluff!!

I'm forever cleaning the bath/shower on tour because of the mess.

Years ago I used to rent a room in a town house and the guy who owned it was so infuriated by the amount of sock fluff on his cream carpets he used to hoover all the time, muttering about how it would be the end of him  ;D
