A licensed sex worker has faced a challenging time as she copes with isolation and physical loneliness amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Roxanne Price, who worked at Sheri’s Ranch brothel near Nevada before its temporary closure, is finding it difficult to deal with the lack of sensual intimacy.

She’s currently practicing social distancing in her Las Vegas apartment as the US is battling hard against the spread of Covid-19.

Although the sex industry has experienced a slight halt in business, Roxanne is adamant that things will certainly pick up soon.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Online, the sex worker revealed she is hopeful the industry will experience a “sex boom” when the pandemic finally ends.

She said: “I think that sexually adventurous and generally horny people are feeling bottled up right now.

“When society finally overcomes the coronavirus, the cork is going to pop off that bottle and people are going to indulge in a sexual outbreak.

“When all of this social distancing finally pays off, people are going to be closer than ever, in more ways than one.”

Sex workers, including Roxanne, have found it very difficult with their business put on hold because of the virus.

The Sheri’s Ranch worker added: “I’m doing my part like other conscientious citizens and sequestering myself in my apartment in order to help stop the spread of the virus.

“But self-isolation is not as easy as I initially thought. Since they temporarily closed the legal brothels, I have had no face-to-face contact with any living creature aside from my cat.

“I live alone and I get doorstep delivery for all of my groceries. I go for a solitary walk in a nearby park every day, but people keep their distance from each other in public, fearful of contracting the coronavirus from a stranger.

“I went from having sex constantly throughout the week to having no physical contact whatsoever with human beings. It’s maddening.”

But the licensed courtesan relieves a lot of her sexual frustration through daily masturbation, but claims that self-stimulation is nothing like actually sex.

She explained: “Like all women, I love my vibrator. But it’s not just the orgasms that I miss.

“As a sex worker, I yearn for the thrill of captivating a potential client, bargaining with him as we negotiate prices, conversing and empathising with my customer as we get to know each other, and blowing his mind with my well-honed skills.

“It’s been two weeks since a man melted in my arms and it feels like two centuries. For me, not having sex is more than merely an annoyance. Without sex, I feel a profound lack of purpose.”
