The companions who continue to work through the pandemic are - and will no doubt continue - to flourish. There is always going to be demand, and I think more guys will continue to partake in the business than many here seem to think.
It's not simply for the sex, but many seek out companions for just that - companionship. I know personally that's what I miss most ... just enjoying a few hours in her presence, the great conversation, the genuine human affection that builds when spending time with a well-rounded lady; the stimulation - intellectual and otherwise.
I get the sense some guys want to see companions struggle so they can 'take advantage' if and when they drop their rates. But when you build a solid human rapport - based on mutual respect, compassion and admiration - trying to take advantage of a potential adverse circumstance doesn't even cross your mind. I am thankful for the one companion I have, and I miss her greatly right now, but I will be here to support her through this and look forward to being able to safely enjoy her wonderful company again someday very soon. And the 'rates' won't enter the conversation, at least from my end.
