I still plan on hobbying. With that being said, with low volume providers. I am going to try and stay away from people who are sick and will not be going around people who are more at danger to this new virus. I will not be kissing providers. I will also be adjusting what "positions" I will be bent into........
Just wondering how many of you guys have put the hobby on hold? Let’s face it, providers see multiple guys daily and the transmission of this virus would be pretty easy considering the intimacy we enjoy with them. Personally, I’m on the sidelines for now. What about others?
Btw, hobbyists often see multiple providers frequently and the transmission of this virus to any given provider by a hobbyist would be pretty easy considering the intimacy we expect from them. It's a two-way street. Protect these good women.
Can't keep social distancing in this hobby but how long is this going to go on. There was always some risk but this is unknown
girls are still advertising and they are practically begging for dates on twitter (plenty of deals out there) and trying to sell there onlyfans. I myself would stay away from massage girls (very high volume), ladies who post daily on multiple sites, and travelling girls (who need to see as many guys as many as possible per trip to make it worth there while). Who knows what these ladies are getting.
If you feel the need to still see ladies stick with ones you know well, and very low volume girls that see like 1 guy every 2-3 days.
One of the most popular ladies here in MN was giving 100 off her rates but she finally took at least a 3-4 week break.
No one really wants to get sick - extra steps can be taken to make sure no one has traveled lately, had any symptoms, and are practicing social distancing. If you're over 60 strongly consider it is time to take a break.
Not every girl sees 3-5 guys a day, maybe try 1-3 a week! Everyone's volume is different, depending on if they want quality or quantity. This is something for you to figure out for yourself, or even ask if you really want to know. Then it depends if you believe it.
Many work from home/studio where they are not in large groups of people. Seeing less people than your bartender, server, even office manager.
The gathering is much less than 10. In a whole week will probably stay under 10. Social distancing comes naturally to many 
Consider placing a deposit / gifting in advance (for a month from now) to help if she is struggling.
Many are offering new options online... why not ask if your bestie is doing anything new! Where there is a will there is a way.
If they are taking their time and screening for safety in more than one way, washing their hands and practicing their own safety measures, they may be able to make it through the minefield without getting hit at all. (Yes Please!)
Exercising caution when in each others' personal space is also an easy step, in case they were asymptomatic.
If you have elderly family, young children, or people with immunodeficiency in your home, Please DO NOT hobby at this time. Skype, phone, or snapchat to get your fix! Being super paranoid may seem like a lot, but when we can say we didn't get anyone sick, we will feel good about it.
Desperate times need creativity. Custom videos from regular. Everything done online. No personal contact, sad to say, but a way to help each other.
I still plan on hobbying. With that being said, with low volume providers. I am going to try and stay away from people who are sick and will not be going around people who are more at danger to this new virus. I will not be kissing providers. I will also be adjusting what "positions" I will be bent into........
So right now I am on the sidelines but if I get a bug up my butt I might go have some fun. But I am also a kissing guy who loves to do it. So that right now is a no/no by request from the government....ie: no face touching and what not.
Remember most of the ladies take cleanliness to a next level when traveling and also when seeing clients. They ask you to shower and wash hands. Some join you in the shower and give you a thurough scrub job (which is fun I might add), they do mouth wash and make sure you do too, etc.
So just stay safe is now extended to stay cleaner than normal and stay safe away from LEO and keep it wrapped up.
Ladies who use hotels as incalls or even gents who use them for meetings....
Hotels are on alert for this virus stuff. Some might make outsiders or people check in at the front desk while coming and going. Some Hotels are closing down. So the foot traffic going in and out of hotels might not be as great. More nosey hotel workers actually paying attention to what is going on.....ie: Alerting LEO.
So please all be safe out there.
And I have no plans to do so for a while. How long is "for a while?". TBD.
Getting stir crazy and the temptation is increasing. Took a break this year and was planning on getting back in this month until this shit went down.
A long time hobby buddy (in AZ) claims he got “flu like symptoms” from a veteran provider. He contacted her but she is still taking dates, advertising, open calendar. He will “go to his grave” before admitting to the government or family where he got it and will never call her out. This type of irresponsibility has me “on hold”. Please, take yourself out of the game if you feel sick or met someone who has. Duh!
Makes me realize that I need a BCP plan for this activity. Once we’re back, I will be looking to establish a relationship with a local lady who would see me as a part of a limited clientele groups. I would be willing to see or pay more during these times for a belief she’s reduce volume. I’ll never really know but if I don’t see tons of ads and reviews popping, I’ll have a bit more comfort and willing to pay for it. Does anyone have a good plan for times like these.
Stay safe!
The Minnesota Department of Health website updates the number of people testing positive. If you multiply a day's number by 1.33 it seems you can predict the next day's numbers. 1.33 is the daily spread rate around the globe. If that multiplier begins to decline it will mean the social distancing is starting to work. Hope.
Reminds me of the movie. We’ll get to the point where we’re only watching sex because we’re be too afraid to have it (in the movie, they couldn’t).
No guarantee that won't change; the virus doesn't care about borders.
So true. Have you seen the pictures of the strip in Las Vegas? Hard to comprehend that being empty.
Impressed with our Gov and his team here. Hoping the next shoe doesn't drop here.
Today's increase in cases is lower than the 1.33 factor, which is good. It's only one day's numbers but if it is a trend that would be good news.
Thanks for the update. You oughta start a thread just for this and update every day. The news on tv gets a bit much to watch if just interested to hear how we're trending.
Still better than worldwide. Today was 1.23 increase, yesterday was 1.19. Rest of the world average is 1.33. The values are going to be a bit noisy from day to day, but the hope is they'll average downward if this social distancing works.
You can go to this site to get information for Minnesota
Thanks Vorlon.
Thank you for that link!
It is interesting how most of the positive tests have been the age range of most providers and the age range of most of the deaths are their clients. Be careful who you guys see, or these ladies will have no one left to see.
The reported numbers are far from accurate because so many with symptoms have been denied the test.
At the link above they say almost 4700 have been tested with about 170 positive.
You see the spread to outstate counties now and Covid19 cases are increasing every day. I am an older guy at risk for this so I am waiting like some others to see what happens. Dental visits and elective surgery are now cancelled by the state except for emergency. I heard from one nice younger gal who has put her business on hold. I expect others will as well. I also have a few reviews to write and submit later. If I really need some relief in a few weeks I will see an older low volume gal after we talk about how we are both doing. I know a couple I can trust to be truthful.
Well said. And ditto here. Hopefully two or three weeks will do it. Here's hoping!
I was wondering the same thing. I myself am trying to be good and will try to hold out as long as possible. I did get a massage last weekend, but I’m already feeling a bit randy and wanting some playtime. As I’m sure everyone is.
The jump the day before yesterday was a bit alarming, but settled down a bit. Trend seems to be upward, but still below world average, I believe.
The interesting fact that you don't see too much about is how many are tests are sitting waiting for results.
But MN is still under the average of 5% of people tested are infected. Now if MN has 20,000 tests still needs results... the numbers will sky rocket.... but if we are only at a few then the numbers will stay the same.
I know over the weekend that the Mayo Clinic opened up two "drive thru" type testing facilities.... so maybe that is why the spike in the one day total is because there was an "explosion" of new tests getting results.
By the end of this week/weekend we will know more.
Gov Walz was on a conference call today basically stating that we are not in a desperate need for ICU beds we have a 250 or so available. Out of the 262 positive results only 7 need the ICU beds.
This chart seems to update every day here without republishing it.
Been out of the Hobby for almost a decade. I thought about starting again and of course this thing is going to get worse. To top this off, there are few providers in Rochester. I've been out so long, its hard to know where to look and what sites to trust. IDK, but I have an itch that needs to be scratched and it's not a sore throat.
Today news shows only 20 cases or just shy of 20 new cases from yesterday. Which is great news. Especially with Mayo clinic going thru more testing and the back log of tests as well. Basically they are starting to "catch up" faster than expected. Which is the scary part is that a "back log" could "explode" the numbers. Like it did over the weekend.
We still need to see how things go thru this weekend. That will be the 15 days since Trump put in the guidelines. Hopefully our numbers stay under the 400 mark or even 350 mark. This would be amazing.,,,, but only time will tell.

Also if you look at the MN Dept of health website. It states that out of the 287 there are 122 of them now out of quarentee. Does that mean they are cured or free of the virus?
Also on that same webpage it states that the Dept of health has done 6365 tests so far (are these with results back or not) with another 5110 tests done by outside sources. So again are there 11475 tests back and only 287 of them positive? If that is the case we are way below the average of 5% infection rate... we are at about 2.6% infection rate.
I am just hoping the Gov doesn't shut down the state like WI did. I know the City of Rochester just asked him to do it. WHICH IS BULLSHIT.... but I digress. The city of Rochester or "Olmsted county" only has 21 cases and are asking for a shut down.... WOW.
I'm guessing a Republican governor would have held off shutting down the state longer. Democrats don't really understand economics, they are more about the feels.
I was not making this political about parties.
I am just saying we are not as bad as other states that have done the shut downs.
Also Walz basically came out and said we will keep doing what we are as of now. With adding a few other businesses ASKING them to work from home if they can.
The thing I cannot believe is the lack of dancers from the clubs looking for side cash. I figured they would be all over the place.......
They are dancers, not escorts, they wouldn't even know where to start or advertise. Anyways if you have been on tryst from the very beginning there are probably 3 pages of unknown ladies who have popped up in the last 3-4 months. They all have one thing in common. Their rates are pretty high (500-600 range), all have insta twitter and onlyfans. They really don't or expect to see guys for sex, they want you to log in and buy their content. None of these ladies have reviews anywhere and if a guy is willing or toftt and have sex with an unknown they they make lots of bonus money. Everyone is a winner, kind of.
Laid off and all of my side money is event based, which has also dried up. I am in the position of having all the time I would want for hobbying but no income for it.
Hobbyist you really need to stay safe, and use your big head not the little one.All you married guys need to stay home and bang mommy, not Suzy rotten crotch for a while. Otherwise you'll be bringing covid 19 home for the holidays.All it takes is one John covid 19 infected with Suzy and someone at home will be gasping for their last breath. Remember these women make there living by being intimate with you, any anybody else, and condoms won't help.
I don’t disagree that if you’re hobbying now you’re exposing yourself to a greater chance of getting the virus. But the truth is you can also get it every time you walk / jog past someone too close on the sidewalk or those multiple people you push your cart past in the grocery store, or any number of other chance exposures we still encounter when we otherwise venture out during the stay at home order. And look at all the providers who continue to advertise and stay booked on a daily basis! Why aren’t they getting it?
And what happens when stay at home order is lifted? The virus is still out there. Your risk now is the same as it will be then. I’m just saying that at some point each of us will make a decision to try and go on as we normally did. For some it will be sooner rather than later.
Many people can catch this, have few or even no symptoms, but still be able to pass it on to others.
You’re right, I don’t. I’m just presuming that based on daily ads over the past few weeks that they aren’t sick. Yes, I know they could dyne a carrier without symptoms, but same can be said for random people you get close to while running errands or handling your purchases.
Yes but you get considerably closer to a provider than you do to people in a grocery store, even the ones ringing up your purchases.
This virus is not going to stop people. If you look at the deaths here in MN most of them are in there 80s and above, if you look nationally they are mostly in poorer minority neighborhoods. That really is not your average john. Anyways if you want to know who is still doing it all you have to do is look at all the reviews coming in and when they are seeing them. Yah 1 lady still does a weekly newsletter and seeing guys on a regular basis but based on her lifestyle I do not think she has a choice. Lots of massage girls post on a daily basis but not sure they have much of a choice either. There is another lady that is completely booked up through the end of April. By who? Aren't we supposed to stay inside.
If I was a provider taking a break I would take note on what guys are still out and about having fun and playing with fire and based on reviews there are some pretty well known clients out there still having fun. If I was a provider I would look at potential clients reviews but what do I know, I am just rambling on.
Do the hobbyists and providers who think it’s ok to see each other during this pandemic also think unprotected intercourse is safe too?
