In 2021, hope seemed to grow thanks to the news of vaccines, but the whole process was slow, and the numbers of contagions dealt a hard blow. The needs are growing and changing every day with new data.
For this reason, the measures adopted by the different governments, companies, and the population are very varied to try to avoid new contagions and adapt to the situation in each area. This is in addition to the numerous criticisms countries have added to managing the epidemic amid an election year.
For example, a local government voting in the UK will take place on the 5th of May. And as many polls indicate, there could be a significant turnaround, a sign of the instability suffered amid the pandemic wave and with a critical situation. This is why the regulations have been modified according to the level of risk in each area.
Most of the UK is still at high risk of contagion excluding only Ceredigion, Conwy, Neath Port Talbot, Bridgend, and Swansea, whose case rate is considerably lower. Many of these coincide with the areas where most visits to adult sites such as Skokka take place. A good example is the London region, which is currently at a high case rate and yet is the area that generates the most sessions. Thousands of people are looking for escorts in London who offer virtual services in times of social distancing.
Mandatory use of masks, curfew, social distancing… These are some of the measures that were adopted. The whole situation is forcing many customs and attitudes to change. Giving a hug or a kiss seems like a luxury. Not to mention something else.
So everyone working in the adult sector has had to reinvent themselves and start again as physical contact has been reduced beyond spas, brothels, motels, and domiciles. Therefore, the internet, social networks, and big adult classified portals have been the salvation for many call girls and escorts.
Pleasure, that moment of letting off steam and forgetting all worries, seems more critical than ever. That is why Skokka, an adult dating website available in 26 countries, has worked harder this last year. This is a unique and historical situation that is changing the whole reality.
Were there changes in desires due to COVID-19?
Some time ago, the online world seemed never to overtake reality. Now, however, things are very different. Sales of sex toys have skyrocketed, as have the number of video calls and sexting contacts.
To corroborate this data and to see how this situation has changed reality, Skokka has carried out a small study with the beautiful escorts. It has analyzed the most searched words in each country where its website is available.
In the case of Peru, it seems that Venezuelan women are the most successful. Since it is the most searched for with a bit more than 26%. Other physical characteristics that now seem more attractive and desirable in a person are brunette, chubby or big booty. Although in the TOP 10 of the most searched for, those referring to age or sexual practices could not be missing. But what stands out the most is the appearance and increase of searches related to “video,” with 7.98% of the total.
Its neighboring country, Brazil, is in a very similar situation. This area had more flexible measures than Peru and has experienced an even more critical moment in terms of contagion.
A group of women working in the adult sector protested, asking to be considered a risk group to be vaccinated more quickly. They argued that, after all, their work consists of and involves direct physical contact on a daily basis.
Therefore, it is customary to find a similar number of searches for the word “video” on portals such as Skokka. Although other words also coincide, such as those referring to age (milf and young girls), physical characteristics (chubby, black women), or sexual practices. Other new words are also appearing.
In contrast, Chile has always had a high vaccination rate, but infections continued to increase despite this. Regardless, similarities can also be found between the most searched-for words in Peru and Chile. However, it is striking that, instead of “video,” the word that has appeared new among the most searched words on Skokka is “domicile.”
What is undeniable is that these are delicate times. In which a multitude of changes is taking place with a profound influence at all levels. Especially for the most vulnerable sectors. Times of need, adaptation, work, and effort so that the longed-for new normality arrives as soon as possible.
Hundreds of companies and people in the adult sector have done and continue to do. Behaviors and days will undoubtedly mark and define society.
