Ladies, February 2021 will be tough. by d_velvet_rooms
Dear Model,
The week which is about to end was certainly one of the most difficult since the lockdown of March 2020. In our industry, the months of January and February are always difficult months but for 4 years that TVR exists, never a January week was not so difficult and unfortunately nothing will improve in February… Here is my explanation, in the form of Problems / Consequences.
A vet in half of the Swiss Cantons
Problems: As you certainly know, some Cantons have decided to ban all forms of erotic services until February 28, 2021, at least. This is the case with the Cantons of Zurich or Aargau, while others have recently made the wise decision to allow our industry to operate normally again. This is the case of the Cantons of Lucerne and Solothurn for example. Since in the vast majority of the Swiss Cantons, it is not possible to work, girls have two options: either to go to the Cantons where there are no / few restrictions (Canton St. Gallen, Graubünden for example) or at their own risk to work anyway in the Cantons where it is not authorized.
Consequences: Logically, the number of girls available in the Cantons with few / no restrictions doubles or triples and makes the market more competitive and this creates an imbalance between supply and demand. Statistically, by working in one of these authorized Cantons, you will anyway earn less money than in a normal context.
Mandatory quarantine for some countries from February 1, 2021
Problems: The big problem here is that Switzerland is one of the few countries in Western Europe where sex workers are still allowed to work legally and can expect to earn enough money. So of course, the country is witnessing an avalanche of girls who normally would work in Germany, Belgium, France or the Netherlands.
From February 1, 2021, new countries are on Switzerland’s long list and designated as countries at risk of strong contagion to Covid-19. In this updated list we find countries like Spain and Slovakia for example. All people from one of these countries will be required to show a negative Covid-19 test carried out within 72 hours of arrival and undergo a mandatory 10-day quarantine.
And from February 8, 2021, all travelers arriving by boat, bus or train must provide their contact details (those traveling by car seem for the moment not to be concerned by this obligation).
Consequences: Many girls arrived in Switzerland this week and many others will continue to enter Switzerland this weekend to avoid the mandatory quarantine and the filing of their contact details. Once in the territory, of course, they try to stay here as long as possible (legally or illegally) before returning home, at the most opportune moment. More and more girls in an already saturated industry where not everyone is making money. For those who are struggling to work, they will not hesitate to lower their rates (because for them, the most important thing is to go back home with money) and make the market extremely difficult for everyone else.
So far this week, 14 girls have contacted me to join TVR as soon as possible. Half of them disqualify themselves immediately because they do not have a European Union passport (now essential to be able to work legally in this industry in Switzerland). I receive applications regularly but I must admit that I have never received so many 5 days. It gives me a good idea of how things are going and I can imagine an economic situation in other European countries, much worse than what we are currently experiencing in Switzerland …
Clients spend less
Problems: Obviously, because of this Covid-19, some men have lost their jobs, have seen their income decrease but not their fixed costs, and not their taxes.
Consequences: The one who used to come to see you once a week will now only come once a month … The one who used to to book you for 2 or 3 hours will now rather stay for one hour. For many, their financial situation has not changed, but for others, they have been forced to make sacrifices. It is clear that between spending 2 hours with you and paying urgent bills, the choice is quickly made … and it is important that you understand and accept that.
The fear of Covid-19
Problem: It is now clear that people are less afraid of Covid-19 than of the fines they will have to pay for failing to comply with preventive measures imposed arbitrarily on the entire population. The obligatory home-office and the fact that everything (or almost) is closed makes alibi difficult …
Consequences: Because customers are afraid, they refrain from any travel and / or actions that are unnecessary or that could harm themselves and / or their family. So these clients don’t come to see you (or less often) waiting for better days…
Conclusion: patience and understanding
Times are difficult and they are so for more than half of the Swiss population. I will not recommend any Escort to come to work this month of February because it will be brutally tough morally and financially. In your place, I will wait to return to Switzerland around the second / third week of March.
If you still decided to be here and work, accept the situation and be grateful for what your week brings you, even if it is half as much as usual because the situation in which the world finds itself now. is NOT a normal thing!
Make the best out of the situation and accept that it is not your fault, you are not responsible, neither are your clients. The bad news is that this Covid-19 nightmare will certainly last the whole year of 2021. The good news is that it will not last forever.
You are beautiful, you are good! Be positive, be patient, be understanding and cherish your regular clients because without them, it does not worth it! And don’t forget : “Where there is a will, there is a way…”
