In case no one has noticed. We’re in middle of a global crisis.
Really wish ladies would stop posting lies about still getting clients.

2 hours booking in central London tonight, not from Adultwork. I would've starved a long time ago if I relied on that site alone.
My plan is try to extend every single booking possible. I was asleep by 2am and missed a few booking enquiries. Daytime this week is 0 bookings

Thats something I have noticed at the moment. I usually got my bookings in early on even if they were placing a booking for later that day. Now the enquiries are not starting until later in the day x

Ok Amy,
So I’ll say this then. Girls still working and punters still buying are putting
people at risk and potentially costing lives.

We all need to hang up our knickers for a while and stay at home like others,
instead of being so selfish.

That is appallingly judgemental though. It's not just about wanting to work at this time, for many there is no other way to continue putting food on the table for dependants.
I just hope better support might materialize soon for the self employed so we don't have to choose between our and others health or paying bills and being able to provide food.

Since it's got a bit lost in the other thread, I'll also repost this:

I'm trying to keep posts to the relevant threads so there's some switching about between this and the Slow one, but I'm fighting a losing battle, I know. For now, if we're talking about anything that could fall under the title of this one can we post it here rather than there, even if it means the long thread drops out for a bit? Then we haven't got two current threads about the same thing and people's replies won't get lost

Where it says 'this one', it means here. Again, we don't need multiple threads about the same thing and people's replies will be getting lost (although of course I have limitless free time and nothing better to do than try to keep an eye on both, apparently).

Haven’t worked since last week and decided to the right thing and self isolate . But already feeling like I can’t live on webcam money if things don’t pick up I’m back out escorting in a few days. I want to stay in but I can’t feel so guilty if I do work though but looks like I’ll have no choice .x

I think we all thought web cam was gonna safe us in these bleak times but now everyone is on it it’s rubbish. I dread the thought of going on it’s so slow.

Add to this the schools being off till possibly September you can only do. After the kids are asleep. Nightmare

My work phone for escorting is off I don’t want to get wound up by clients contacting me for jobs when I won’t work at this time

I tried webcam for the first time in about a year last night. I did better than I expected, although possibly just luck with getting someone paying for private for half hour & a bit of group. I had my phone chat on too and took a call, albeit not very long but everything helps at the moment.
I’ve not been showing on local search for the last few days but I have had a few video and private gallery sales.
My panty sales have increased, 4 pairs in the last week, so I guess I’m still getting a little bit of traffic to my profile but enquires for any bookings are 0. I’m not taking bookings now anyway.

I can't get any phone chat or credits and not now working
Can't get a hairdresser or nail bar service now either 

Same here, Gone available for phone chat last 3 days and nothing, No PG or movie sales either. Sex must be very far from anyone's mind right now. Reality is beginning to sink in
Now. I wonder if a crisis in the past has ever impacted the sex industry like this, Besides the initial aids outbreak.

Would help us all if government and media gave a more clear picture of how we will have to live for the next few months.

They have, you can claim ESA or universal credits to tie you over for the next 3 months but only do this is you really need to and ask for an upfront loan if you’re desperate and can’t wait 2/3 weeks as that’s how long it’ll takes to process, also look into your bills to see what you can/can’t get away with not paying - rent/mortgage would be main bill to not pay until June if you are struggling, mortgage - apply for a holiday and renters, you can’t be kicked out for 3 months but inform your landlord you can’t pay until June.  self employed workers will have the option to claim 3 months profit (this will be an estimate looking at the last 3 years) - this payment will be available in June, you just have to declare it in your January self assessment. To qualify for this payment you need to have been self employed for at least a year and your self employment is more than 50% of totalled earnt say if you have a normal PAYE job as well.
Until then escorts have the option to do webcam or phone chat however they can also take temporary employment (say working in a supermarket or hospital) as long as the salary doesn’t exceed 50% of what they will be earning in the new tax year.
Any escorts that haven’t paid tax you maybe entitled to universal credits / jobseekers but I’m not 100%, would be worth filling in a benefits calculator. However GET REGISTERED as self employed ASAP, it’s really easy - just do it online because firstly not paying tax is illegal and you will eventually get caught and two if coronavirus is like most other viruses there is a chance even if it does go away, it’ll come back so it’s good to have provisions for the future.
Not going to preach to the ones still escorting even though I want to but if you’re doing outcalls, the police may fine you if you’re out without good reason and those doing incalls you will most likely get caught and reported by neighbours (as everyone is in) or the hotel (as it’ll be quieter so more obvious) I know the police monitor adultwork and vivastreet so if rules are restricted further, like in Germany - the police will start detaining girls who are still working. I could sprout off a million other reasons but I’m not here to judge, just advise - please just just your common sense and do the right thing.
