The diary of a Verona escort during the pandemic
A Verona escort reveals her life during the coronavirus pandemic. She says the situation is worrying both for her and for her colleagues, especially for those who made their living alone from the escort job. Italy was the first country in Europe to have been hit by the coronavirus pandemic and the effects of the restrictions were not long in coming. The worst thing is that Italian escorts do not receive compensation from the state.
However, even during the pandemic, says the escort, loyal customers continue to call her. He simply calls her to ask her how she is, how she survives, how she spends her time during social distances. Others just call her to cheer her up with a few jokes.
The escort reveals that she receives around five calls a day from clients who want to live chat. They just want to talk to someone about how they cope with their times and about their family, wife, or children. She listens to them as if she were a psychologist. Scientists, she says, are careful never to say she misses him, even if she feels it.
The escort reveals that she has stopped providing sexual services since March 5, because she does not want to expose herself to the risk of contagion with the new coronavirus. It is too dangerous. Being an escort in the truest sense of the word means physical contact and keeping a social distance is physically impossible when having sex.
She also says that there are some loyal customers who have tried to raise the rate just in an attempt to get her to see them. But she refused because she didn't risk making a client or his family sick.
Surprisingly, phone calls with customers are never erotic. On average, before the pandemic, he had around 30 clients a month, mostly married or in a stable relationship, with an average age between 40 and 60.
During the pandemic, however, he made no money. And if she lived alone, she wouldn't be able to support herself. It's probably easy to judge why she chose this profession, but, she says, before becoming an escort, she earns about 700 euros a month in a metalworking company, money that she couldn't support because she had two small children. So she decided to prostitute herself.
The escort job has always existed and she is frustrated that the state hasn't normalized it yet. If this activity were legal, in these months of inactivity, the state allowance would be 600 euros per month, as for all the other unemployed who work in other sectors of activity. That's not much, but it would help with basic expenses.
Currently, there are over 10,000 prostitutes in Italy, a business worth over 4 billion euros. However, if you wish to contact an escort, simply search the internet and you will find escorts available at this difficult time.
