I imagine I’m not the only TAG member who has been wondering what the “new normal” of P4P is going to look like. I’m not talking about the period 12-18 months from now when we (hopefully) have near universal vaccination against Covid 19 but rather about the period in the coming months when lock downs are lifted and things begin to reopen, but spread of Covid is still very much a risk. Here are some possible changes that come to mind, but I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts, including some of the providers.
Testing: I wouldn’t be surprised if providers add Covid 19 testing to their regular STD testing regimen. Both providers in shops and Indies. Perhaps providers may ask that customers show proof that they are Covid-free, along the lines of the “work passport” that Germany is contemplating, using antibody tests.
Providers Shifting to Virtual P4P Services: I’ve seen a number of articles that reference a huge jump in subscriptions to porn sites since March. I’ve also noted that many Indies have set up Fans Only accounts. I wonder whether they will also offer their regular customers private phone sex or even video encounters.
Emergence of Glory Holes at P4P Establishments: These have previously been a feature mainly of gay (MM) establishments. Might they be offered in hetero shops as a “Covid-safe” option?
These are just a few thoughts. Others?
