Re: Escorting During Covid
Never see anyone at your apartment. I personally would not escort during a pandemic. I have 3 customers who I know personally who asked me to come over that have or had Covid-19. If I would have went and seen them, we'd most likely be having a very different conversation right now.
Re: Escorting During Covid
Agree, not seeing anyone during the pandemic. I'll admit, Im coming from a place of, I have a full time job so I can afford not to see anyone, but having been in the situation where SW was my full time job for many years, I can understand the need to try and find a way to work regardless of whats going on. The risk just is not worth the reward at this time though.
From everything Im seeing, only guys who do not care for their personal safety are trying to see providers right now, and generally the worst of the worst type of clients one can come across. All the decent guys who value themselves are holding off until, at a minimum, the stay at home order is lifted.
So its not even just a matter of this pandemic, its also the type of guys you may come across that will put you at risk.
All that being said...even if you are moving soon, its not safe to use the place you live to work out of. Even with a doorman. I used to live in a place that was secured, doorman, couldnt get up the elevator without a keypass, and I went out for a walk one day..bumped into a guy who just randomly was sitting outside the door on the off chance he would see me. It was creepy af. And I happened to be with a friend at the time, so it was also embarrassing. Thankfully this was not business related, but really just goes to show the lengths someone will go.
Your concerns about a hotel are spot on, they are pretty empty right now and every person is going to stand out right about now.
Many airbnb's have cameras, even if not inside, they have door or outside cameras where the owners would be able to see everyone who visited the property. Not worth the risk. Ever since I found out about the camera thing I knew Id never use an airbnb for business.
Times are tough right now, being able to do business under the radar or avoiding shady guys will be especially tough. Wish I had better advice than, dont do it...but thats really all Ive got.
Re: Escorting During Covid
You can always ask the client to book the hotel room using his name. Less concerns, and technically if the client indicated he'd be having a guest, the hotel cannot do ANYTHING to you.
I had this kind of conversation about safety with a good friend of mine who is an over the road trucker- I worried that muggings and panhandling might be more common/visible with the aftereffects of the Covid 19 lockdown starting to happen.
My advice, be aware of your surroundings and don't see any un-screened clients.
Covid 19 spreads much in the same way tuberculosis does (I'm told) so just be clean, practice self-care and keep to yourself.

They didn't know they had it at the time. They developed symptoms shortly after inviting me. That's my point, like, had I gone, I would of been fucked.

Oh whoops, my bad! Sorry. That’s good that you trusted your instincts and didn’t go, you dodged a bullet!
Re: Escorting During Covid
I'd avoid seeing anyone who has a history of respiratory issues, and also anyone who looks and sounds sick. I mean, it is what it is.
I know from Twitter that escorts are seeing clients now, & not every major population center has the same # of Covid 19 cases.
Re: Escorting During Covid
First of all, if you need to work from your apartment, then work from your apartment. Plenty of people do it, and it’s your choice, not anyone else’s to make. Just be cautious.
Re letting clients in, if it’s a regular occurrence, you’re bound to get the doorman’s attention eventually. I’m not sure if your doorman questions everyone they’re there to see or if it’s sporadic. If it’s sporadic, you can give your clients a heads up that the doorman might ask who/which unit they’re going to. Tell them not sweat it, and to tell the doorman that he’s going to look at a second-hand sofa from Craigslist (or whatever u guys use in the states) & that he doesn’t know your name just the unit number. Pick an big item like a sofa or something that warrants them coming up to your apartment. This approach would only work as a one-off though.
Re hotels, I think this would be easier than your home since you have a doorman, and ppl do still have to travel so although hotel traffic will be reduced, I don’t think they’ll raise an eyebrow at just 1-2 dudes/day.
I just took possession of my new incall apartment in sept, but as luck would have it, as soon as I finished decorating I got a nasty long-lasting UTI, and now we’re in second wave in Canada. When I do start seeing clients, I’ll just see enough to cover expenses and I’m sending them a copy n paste text saying the standard “don’t book if you have xyz symptoms, if you’re displaying obvious symptoms you’ll be told to leave immediately w/o refund... pls wear a mask in my building, if I see through my door’s peephole that you aren’t, I won’t open the door and text you to leave immediately”. I will also be implementing 1.5 hour minimum bookings.
Re: Escorting During Covid
I think now is the time to get a sugar daddy VS escorting. Lot safer to have one guy to deal with then random guys. Probably the best is to just have more upscale customers. The more people the more risky it is.

Right maybe 2-3 club regulars that you can rotate and see 1-2x a month. Get a big sum and be out.

Re: Escorting During Covid
I told hotels when asked why I was there was because I needed a place to say (they are placing some of the homeless or veterans in hotels because of covid), or said I was relocating. 1 stimulus check wasn't going to cut it bill-wise for me after 8 months of lockdown. I'm completely embarrassed to admit I've worked during the pandemic. I have stayed home other than that so I can get as little exposure to strangers as possible other than work. They sanitize the pens, the rooms, and some of the hotels do a deep cleaning to the point they put a seal on the door before entrance. Bills had to be paid and I went from being against working due to the pandemic to having to work.
Re: Escorting During Covid
^^^^ Don't be embarrassed, ever. You gotta do what you gotta do, even during a pandemic. I'm also spreading my creativity and so have others. A LOT of bbs are on cam now who never thought about it before, phone sex, texting, and yes escorting too. Trust me, many girls are still working they just don't admit it here, lol. I see the tweets and ads every day from Women still working right now or posting about seeing a client. I personally saw a reg from a few years ago at his high end condo and I'm just fine. Also being in a hotel there's more of a higher risk with multiple guests and cleaners changing rooms and using the same cleaning materials and equipment than being in someone's face for 1 hour, lol.

I was concerned with cleaning material and maids not being thorough enough as well. A lot of clients can't host at home because they have children or are in a relationship so I offer both options for now. Airbnb is so risky with potential of cameras throughout the house and so is at a personal residence. Part of me wants to get an RV lol.
Re: Escorting During Covid
Im not an escort but I live in a hotel sometimes & I always clean with bleach everything when i first check in. Luckily they air the rooms out for 24 hrs prior to letting another guest check in. I cam & do phone sex from my hotel room.i def dont trust airbnbs rn bc ppl are lazy AF when it comes to cleaning.
Re: Escorting During Covid
You're definitely better off waiting until a vaccine is available before doing any type of sex work where you'll have physical contact with clients. If you've decided you're definitely going to do this or think it's absolutely necessary, I suggest looking at the number of cases in the state and county where you're planning to meet a client or clients, and see how many cases there are. The lower the percentage of people who have the virus in that county and state, the less likely it is that the clients you see will have the virus. Here's one site with that information:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
If you click on the state, you can see the figures for the counties of that state. It's probably worth it to travel the extra distance, if you're able to find an area where there aren't many cases.
Re: Escorting During Covid
I'm getting concerned with some of the hotels nowadays in the area I usually work in. I had to leave a key card outside for the client yesterday at 1am because they require a key card in order to enter the building along with a security guard in an area that's not considered upscale (IMO). I typically stick to areas near airports because I pay a day use check-in fee along with extending it until checkout the next day. I feel like that option is over. I've had issues with it to the point of frustration. I called the front desk on Tuesday to extend my day use until Wednesday at noon and they were okay with that and were supposed to charge me for it along with a late checkout. The day staff managed to not get the message or do anything and followed my customer to the room confused saying nobody was in my room. I was shocked and upset this night staff member didn't do his job and my customer was talking to staff completely oblivious. Looks like I'm going to have to do early check-ins again.
Re: Escorting During Covid
THIS is the thread I’ve been looking for!! Thanks, ladies, for sharing your knowledge & experience!
I was in Orlando a couple of months ago on legit business. I stayed in an airport hotel (one of the nicer ones; rates were great at that time.) It was about 2am before I finally made it to checkin, having reserved online. The night hotel clerk was really sweet and gave me a room AWAY from the ice machine (something I always request...)
Imagine my surprise when I opened the door and was hit with the overpowering aroma of cheap men’s aftershave, as well as a room full of belongings. Fortunately, the dude wasn’t in his room, and the clerk upgraded me to a suite. SWEET!
Turns out whoever issued that room neglected to remove it from the system. But it’s a scary reminder that you can never be too careful and to sleep with your door barricaded by either your suitcase or a chair just in case...
Re: Escorting During Covid
I was put in early check in's and have the room completely used and nasty when they didn't clean 2 times during this pandemic and I went to the front desk for a new room. Check before you put your stuff down.

Yup! Had that happen to me more than once. Opened hotel room door to see lady's luggage, blow dryer, etc., said hello, female voice responded. I went back to the front desk, told them thanks for giving me a room with a woman already in it! ... but that the woman wasn't up for visitors, LOL
Another late check-in, as I put the card key in, pushed the door open, I heard a dude scream from the darkened room. Another trip back to the front desk. Take-away from that was to always remember to flip the latch thingie over the door.

I also have these for that issue. Life saver with the maids, too who like to walk in without knocking now days like they've rented the place themselves. Also, rented a house on airbnb where the lady claimed she didn't think anyone was inside my 3rd day there, yet I clearly rented it out from her for the week and spoke to both her husband and son, previously. They had a self-check in lock but I'd arrived a day later, still they KNEW I was there as I emailed them and told them. Not to mention most people with electronic locks get notified when someone is inside the premises. Imagine her surprise when I said "May I help you?!" through the door, lol.
I'm starting to realize that some people are generally nosey and walk in to try and catch you doing something in their home. Maids are no different. When they clean they look through your items, try them on at times, your perfume as well, know your safe codes, and most absolutely take photos and show the owner your living conditions, messes, and anything they deem worthy of sharing. They take photos mainly when something is broken for the owner (understandable) but those weekly cleans are for snooping as well. Also, close your peephole or cover it as they can use a peephole scope to see what you're doing inside your hotel room. Post it note or tape works just fine.
This works like a charm. Of course it only works if you're inside the room. It's called Addalock, comes with 2. Works worldwide. Good thing to add on both front and back doors when renting an apartment or home and escorting in case you're a culprit for robbery. Some of these 'clients' will have their goons will unlock the the back door so their goons can rob you during your sessions.

This cracked me tf up!
Re: Escorting During Covid
I've been lucky so far with not having super nosy maids. I'm usually always inside the room when they come in to clean. However since the pandemic they haven't been allowed inside. Thats ok with me since I always tidy up after myself bc I'm that ocd about messes LOL
I had a nightmare airbnb experience once where some rando guy tried opening my door at 3 am while I was sleeping. He was trying to squat there apparently & while he had the gall to opo a squat & use the hallway shower I got my stuff & bounced. Airbnb put me up in a hotel.
