So Many Ladies Have Moved On

[yorkieyorkie]

Was just randomly going thru my reviews and then clicking the AW link and so many WG’s have moved on. I try not to have too many regulars but I do repeat women I like many times but even they’ve gone.

I’ve got to say this past year (Covid Ofcourse a factor) but the qualities of WG’s have really diminished. I’m now travelling outside Yorkshire to see ladies but the 200 mile round trip isn’t fun.

It’s just all a bit shit!

[stevedave]

Being in the same region as you, I agree that the quality has gone downhill over the past year or so... yes, we all know the main reason behind this. I guess time will tell with the "grand reopening", if lasses decide to get back to this line of work... money does talk after all.

That said, WG's come and WG's go, it's just part and parcel of the hobby.

[PaulRuff]

Yep, this time last year there were 4 girls I was seeing fairly regularly...only one of them has an active AW profile now, the other three got themselves 'proper' jobs (their words, not mine) offering a more modest but regular income.  No idea if they'll ever return, most seem reluctant to do so unless they've no other option.

Agree on all your points.

Taking London out of it, Yorkshire also seems to the most expensive. It’s why I look at the NE and the Midlands now.

I felt that there were far less ladies that I wanted to see even before the pandemic hit. When I started in 2012 I always had a list of people I wanted to meet and always had options. More recently I struggle to find someone I fancy seeing. It could be that the novelty has worn off rather than there being less women. I randomly decided to scroll through my adultwork emails recently and saw a bunch of usernames from WGs I contacted to make bookings with in the past and it did seem like a much more bountiful time.

I started around a year earlier and find it to be dire atm.

Back then I didn’t mind paying over the odds even for average punts. Now I just don’t like paying for a crap booking so I suppose it’s my mindset too.

[petermisc]

Agreed, but this last year has been understandably bad.

Many WGs have gone on "furlough" during the pandemic.  Understandable, as it is a high risk profession at the best of times.  Hopefully many will return once things get back to normal, and joined by more needing help with their finances.

However, in recent years, we have relied on a high proportion of foreign girls, particularly for the lower end of the market.  Many of these understandably went back home.  With the double whammy of covid and Brexit, I doubt that they will be coming back in anything like the same numbers any time soon.  Other places that are easier to access will naturally be more enticing.

[Vice Admiral]

I agree.  Covid-19 is part of the story, but it isn't the whole story.

In retail, the pandemic has hastened a process that was already underway – namely, the move from shopping in "bricks and mortar" stores to shopping online.

Equally, girls who want to make money from sex are increasingly finding that they can make plenty of money from sites like OnlyFans without getting their hands dirty.  (If they're good at it.)

By the same token it would appear – and this is also, I think, a trend that predates the pandemic – that many men increasingly prefer to get sexual satisfaction online than in the flesh.

The changes to everyone's lives – and psychologies – that the internet has brought about are already massive. 

But we ain't seen nothing yet...

[Home Alone]

Once the scene returns closer to normal - no Social Distancing, etc 🤞 - in addition to resuming my GFE sessions with my Regular, I'm looking to tick a few items off my Bucket List before I get my last repeat prescription of Tadalafil.

Searching through old threads for one of these - 'talking dirty', which, when well done, I find a real turn-on - produced very few results more modern than about five years ago. Most of these were to AW links that no longer worked. I'll be looking with particular interest to see if the relaxation of restrictions will lead to some of the more 'niche' services will return.

Or not. 

[PS: Totally agree  with the Vice Admiral's post above, which was posted as I was typing this.]

It's very, very rare I have the time - let alone the inclination - to go far off reservation, so I'm stuck with Leeds for now. Even a trip to Wakefield is pushing it at the moment 

[lillythesavage]

It is dire and very hit and miss at the moment, the only two near my route who come recommended for my likes are not around at the moment, sods law.

I am managing to get a meet most weekends from other sites/ apps, in fact just trying to arrange a re match tonight with the one this weekend, have to say when it comes good it is good, takes some effort and time though. Great variety and no Roms or Brazilians lol.

Yeah I don’t blame you. The problem is that travelling so far can only be done on weekends as I’m working Mon - Fri and so many ladies choose not to work on the weekend.

[Rick2468]

I travelled around the UK quite a lot with work in pre-pandemic times and cover most areas so I do usually have a look to see who is working in the areas I visit. However I have only met an escort once whilst travelling and that was in Leeds. Also tried meeting Busty Klara when she was in Farnborough but she didn't reply to my text. My job is quite intense and can take me a bit of time to switch off so don't think I'm suited to meet someone during a lunch break or even after work. I had a 2 day training course in Krakow in February 2020 and thought with the overnight stay I could see if I could arrange a meet with a hot polish woman possibly at a bargain rate. I took a look and there was no one I fancied meeting.

I think just like in any other area of the economy, there will be a 'big reset' for many people.

Their business has been greatly disrupted (either through their own choice to not work, or reduced custom) and they've reassessed their lives and made a change. Some will come back, but for others that change will be permanent.

[Vice Admiral]

Their business has been greatly disrupted (either through their own choice to not work, or reduced custom) and they've reassessed their lives and made a change. Some will come back, but for others that change will be permanent.

My impression from rigorous and regular study of Adult Work (purely for the purposes of research) is that in my neck of the woods – the Portsmouth and Havant area – the majority of "seasoned pros" have continued to work through the various lockdowns.

Meanwhile, what there has been a distinct lack of – and this predates the pandemic – are new entrants to the profession.

Covid-19 is only a factor, since round here many young people of both sexes have been very relaxed about following government rules and guidelines.

A few years ago you couldn't move for girls in their early twenties trying their luck on Adult Work.  Nowadays new entrants of that age are very rare – even a time when money is very tight for many people, and the unlucky young are finding it difficult to get "respectable" jobs.

I think that you were right in your previous post that many young women are turning to online sexual services first.  I think they view it as less sordid, and particularly during a pandemic easier and safer.  If they can earn enough online, they won't turn to proper escorting.

[SYorksPunter]

Yeah I think a lot of girls have tried Only Fans and found it a better alternative. Trouble with OF is that you really have to put the work in if it’s going to be financially viable. You have to produce content daily, interact with users, do the odd live show or people will get bored and look elsewhere. I know of at least 2 girls who have packed in escorting during the pandemic in favour of OF. I think we may see a fair few return when social distancing is done, as the grind of constantly putting stuff on OF is going to fade a bit.

A good point.  I know a couple of girls who'd prefer not to continue to escort but do so because they regard OnlyFans and similar as too much like hard work.

As you indicate, to succeed on OnlyFans you need organisational skills – and powers of application – that many escorts don't have. 

[shagmore]

I went through my past shags the other day, and must admit, a lot have gone by the wayside.
Also finding it harder to find the mid 30's stunner, most are either early 20's or then late 40's. Realise that the mid 30's is when most decide to have a family etc, but still a bummer.
Also a hell of a lot of munters expecting big bucks,
Things definitely not good for punting

Yep there will be a reset, couple of regs went back home shutdown their profiles, one replied to me that she will wait it out and see if it is worth coming back. At the moment feels like there is a lack of girls coming into the country, see the same old faces on my searches. Also girls seem to move around a lot more than before. At the moment don't feel enticed to punt, I've been looking at the seeking, CL route, just something a bit different met a couple of girls so far quite like it compared to meeting a mechanical wg.

[Weathersmo]

Going through my list of  go to ladies,not many around these days. Still have the Thai girls but after a while that gets boring.. Hopefully a few will return but not optimistic

The moving around, particularly in cities is to get out of expensive long term rents I think, lots of rental properties are available for much cheaper rents than a year ago, but only on short term deals, landlords are hoping things will come back and Air Bnb will get busy again so hedging their bets.

[Mr Doodle]

Look on the bright side, fellas... good excuse to cross the channel for some fun...

[cideruk]

Looking at my past AW reviews virtually all of them are retired now, I must be an awful shag or absolutely amazing to retire so many 

[Gordon Bennett]

I think you'd need a thick skin and a lot of resilience to do escorting full-time year after year after year. Doesn't surprise me if loads of them bail out after a couple of years really.
Who knows though, after having a forced Covid sabbatical maybe many will put their heels on again and some old faves will re-surface as lockdown eases?

[robsmith149]

Loads of the young ones are on SA now, well there are loads of profiles anyway, not sure how many are genuine as it's far too much trouble for me, i just want to call or text and get a meeting quickly not all the pissing about that SA seems to bring.

[Crackpot11]

Given the economy is down the shitter and we will all see the effects of that within the next couple of years I wouldn’t worry. All those ‘retirements’ will soon end and financial necessity will see a lot of newbies. A lot understandably stopped due to lockdowns and the various nonsensical rules which kept chopping and changing. Given June should see an end to lockdowns at least for 6 months, I expect many to start again. What I would worry about is women doing it out of desperation but on the main that would be through brothels which I don’t frequent.

[petermisc]

Is it?  Number of unemployed is fairly insignificant - we had more unemployed five years ago.  I seem to recall something on the news awhile back about the number of job vacancies there are.  Certainly everyone I know who has been made redundant through covid has got another job.  Record levels of personal savings.  While the government is currently borrowing significant amounts of money, it is at near-zero interest rates, and if paid back over say 25 years would be a fraction of a percent of GDP.  Pound strong, stock market strong.  Exactly what part of the economy is in the shitter?

[Londontiger]

I dont know that much about the punting scene. Only started this year as a stopgap to when i cant get sex elsewhere.
But with the internet you no longer need to shag a man to earn money. There are so many other ways and students are clever to alternative ways. Picture selling, online forex trading etc.
Most people my age without jobs(girls) sell their unwanted clothes. Do online trading  etc. Online businesses etc. Also after lottie Sb article on the daily mail today. Expect a increase in SB selling pictures.

This is why it is important for guys to stop paying for this online nonsense buying pictures, "used" underwear etc... There will always be girls who will sell sex for money. Tbh online trading, drop ship businesses and the like is not easy to make money from if it was everyone would be doing it, same for onlyfans the market is saturated its not easy to make rent many girls are finding out.

[StingRay]

My view is that many girls are in hibernation, from their SP job that is.

I know that lots of girls have gone back to EE-land but the ones that have remained here are feeling the pinch, having to get by on low paid jobs, often working much harder and earning less in a week than they would have earned in day at their old profession.

On this basis, once "normality" returns (soon please!) and it's safe to go back in the water, I'm hoping that many will return but will be a lot more cautious as to how they spend their money in the future.

[Londontiger]

Spot on, and have you noticed all the big B doom mongers have gone very quiet since the predicted crash of the pound turned into an increase. Have some faith in your country lol. Not going to bounce back if everyone is negative about the future.

My wife was made redundant in November, could not be worse really, just before Xmas when few hire apart from temps, middle of a pandemic, few offices actually working for interviews, the big B looming but she had a higher paid job with better prospects in the bag before leaving at the end of November.

[cideruk]

If all the doom and gloom being pedalled by the media is true then expect loads of extra SP and drop in prices (not to mention buyer's market re cars, holidays, white goods etc)
If it's all a load of bs then expect prices to go up and less SPs

The sticker prices might not move much but check all the small print for changing refunds and returns conditions, also insurances.  Holiday industry is begging for your money now for holidays you may or may not be able to take before the end of the year, given their history with refunds this past year be very wary on what the conditions are for your money back (less "admin") if you are not permitted to travel.  Exemptions may be that you failed to organise your tests in time (see stories of the tests not being delivered on time and HMG saying no problems), no money only credit, etc.

2019 family holiday £4300

2021 exactly the same date and hotel £8000

They are gouging

If we were really in the mess the media claim they would be discounting (like last recession when it was a buyer's market) not gouging ergo media is lying (as per)

Have you called/emailed to challenge as a previous visitor?

Banking on desperation overcoming sense.  Don't give a fuck about the people that used to be able to afford to holiday with them just want money from any foolish wallet.

Media aren't lying if talking about industry as a whole that is supposedly kept "honest and fair" by competition.  Always plenty of exceptions as can be evidenced wading thru the tripe that are the "review" sites and social media presences.

[cideruk]

Similar prices be it Jet2, Easyjet, Tui etc

They know plenty have a nice stash - mortgage holiday, no travelling to work, no pubs/restaurants, 80% wages for months = tidy nest egg

Hear regularly how dire / desperate holiday industry is, clearly not

So the outrage should be for the service providers not the messengers.  Tell the press and I'm sure they'd love to out all the gougers.  which brings us back to UKP and keeping fellow punters current on SP exploits (in all senses of the term).  Sorry?  Was that eyeballs falling out of certain sockets as they rolled once too often?

Perhaps not, as cideruk seems to be suggesting that the mainstream media are peddling that big Covid lie 

[Mr Doodle]

For the first time in a while, I checked out my old London hunting grounds, and there seemed to be quite healthy pickings.. There were some long-timers who hiked their prices, but for the most that I had peviously seen advertised, , they were roughly where they were back in Dec, 2019, and seemed to tbe currently active if breaking lockdown is your thing. There were a few newbies, too. My anecdotal thoughts were there were more (of the SP I tend to go for) operating than there were then.. More or less around the Heathrow, Twicxkenha, Kingston, Surbiton areas...

[dubhcarr]

think brexit did for a few OP couple of my regs left for good. I guess travel restrictions will keep many at bay till the boarders open. I would welcome the competition to the sps who have stayed and hiked their prices 20% or so. When choice returns I guess I will take this into account. SE seems pretty full of thais and russians ATM although lots of post op/ladyboys around.   

[lillythesavage]

Worker in a service industry she has never worked in before.

The job description stated " must have a degree " cannot say what in obviously, but she has not got a degree in anything other than life.

Eh?
Media are peddling lies, clearly. 
I won't book a holiday until the prices drop to more normal rates rather than this gouging, same re SPs that are over charging.

Perhaps not, as cideruk seems to be suggesting that the mainstream media are peddling that big Covid lie 

They are predicting doom and gloom, when in reality a lot of folk are better off now than they were Feb 2020.  Hence high prices for large purchases, rather than the more usual buyer's market in times of national economic woe.

What a load of bollocks 

[cideruk]

What a load of bollocks 

So they haven't travelled to work, not gone on holiday, no pubs, no meals out, no mortgage/rent - yet still received 80% of their wages

Mmm tricky maths that...
