Enterprising Swiss sex workers have devised some inventive ways for their colleagues to service clients sans spreading the coronavirus — by doing the deed “doggy style” and “reverse cowgirl.”
The opportunistic courtesans drafted the guidelines in hopes that Switzerland will lift the temporary ban on prostitution enacted two months ago over COVID-19 concerns, reports Swiss media outlet Watson.
Both aforementioned sexual positions allow for a safe distance between faces during hanky-panky, according to sex-worker advocacy group ProKoRe in Switzerland, where prostitution is legal. They claim that flesh peddlers can reduce the likelihood of contracting or transmitting the virus via water droplets that are inherent in going at it missionary style (face-to-face).
In March, New York City officials released guidelines for pandemic sex, declaring masturbation is the safest way to avoid the coronavirus and denouncing sex acts like “rim jobs.” Healthline cautioned against hooking up with strangers in a recent article on making love in the time of corona.
Currently, there’s no evidence that having sex in the “doggy style” or “reverse cowgirl” positions can mitigate the risk of contracting COVID-19, which can travel as far as 13 feet.
Other proposed COVID-avoiding measures include airing out rooms for at least 15 minutes after each steamy session, washing bed sheets at a temperature of at least 60 degrees and requiring call girls to wear face masks while working.
And if that wasn’t kinky enough, hookups should be limited to 15 minutes, and the brothel must keep a record of the customer’s contact info for a full month, per the guidelines.
In the bill, ProKoRe implores Switzerland to lift lockdowns as a matter of emergency, citing that Switzerland’s prostitution hole is currently being filled by clandestine courtesan rings, reports Watson.
Swiss skin merchants aren’t the only ones struggling to stay afloat during lockdown. Adult-content creators claim they’re getting booted from subscription platform OnlyFans as the site goes more mainstream. Meanwhile, non-essential business closures have forced one Nevada sex worker to offer her services as a virtual girlfriend in exchange for groceries and Amazon gift cards.
