The increased risk of infection of the COVID-19 situation has prompted countries around the world to introduce hygiene regulations, preventive contact restrictions and contact bans. Of course, this applies to the gigolo industry in particular, as the personal contact between customers and escort gentlemen is THE most important thing for every gigolo booking.

However, with the constantly changing legal and regulatory situation, it is often not easy to get an overview. Are escort services currently allowed in my city due to the Corona regulations? What types of escort services are allowed and which are not? And are there any special hygiene rules to be observed?

We hereby give you a transparent overview of the COVID-19 situation in the escort sector for the German-speaking world.

Corona Escort – What is the difference between "social time" and "sweet time"?

"Social time" refers to the time with an escort gentleman during which no Physical contact between the customer and the gigolo takes place. Examples include an escort to dinner, for a special event, or to the theater.

"Sweet time" refers to the time with an escort gentleman during which physical contact takes place between the customer and the gigolo. Examples of this are a home or hotel visit, a sensual couple date or a dinner date followed by an overnight stay.

Corona Escort – Hygiene Regulations

As in other industries where physical contact takes place (e.g. doctors' offices, massage studios), increased precautions also apply in the escort sector to prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. These measures are defined in the form of hygiene regulations and include, for example, the following points:

• The places where "sweet time" takes place must be equipped with freely accessible hand disinfectant.
• Frequent ventilation of the places where "sweet time" takes place is recommended.
• Customers and escorts are supposed to shower before and after the "sweet time". Alternatively, hands and face are washed with liquid soap.
• A disposable or cloth mouth-nose protection should be worn by both the escort and the customer.
• Physical contact must be limited to what is necessary.

We have listed the laws and complete hygiene regulations in force in the respective countries in the list of sources for you to read. The provisions are to be seen as a supplement to existing laws (e.g. national prostitution protection laws) for the protection of prostitution.
