Hi. I've never had an escort before. I'm a bit unsure about how it usually works. I'm in the UK.

I've been browsing Adult Work and found a girl I like but I've not arranged anything yet. The girl writes that a client should text her for an appointment. Should I just text her, agree on a time and then submit a booking to her on the site?

I can see from her profile (kind of) and more so the reviews that she sees her clients in a hotel. Is it usually easy to visit an escort in a hotel? Could there be a problem if someone hears us during our meeting?

I asked her a question about her availability but she has so far ignored me. Is that normal? Do they normally ignore people unless they directly ask for an appointment?

I read that prostitution is legal in the UK in a private setting. Is that correct? I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance and some answers to my questions. Thanks.

Hi Jeffrey,
Yes, hiring an escort is legal in the UK so do not worry about it.
Incall - seeing an escort at her location / hotel (tends to be the cheaper option)
Outcall - seeing an escort at your hotel or private residence

You need to be direct and state the date / time / duration / services that you want in a booking or they will consider you as a time waster. Hope this helps

Thanks

Ah, reading this brought a tear to my eye... reminded me of when I was younger and posting on this board circa 2005(6?) about seeing an Amsterdam window girl because doing it in the UK seemed too risky. red_devil666's advice is spot on and you should follow it to the letter.

Generally speaking you can easily find UK escorts of all descriptions via a quick internet search. I'm not sure where you're thinking of going to see an escort, but the cities of London, Manchester and Edinburgh have quite well known sex industries, and Adultwork is especially good for letting you find independents (i.e. women who work for themselves).

You can also find massage parlours that do happy endings, brothels (confusingly also called massage parlours in Britain sometimes), etc etc if you look hard enough, either on Adultwork or through a quick search of your local area online. If you're using Adultwork be aware that there are lots of mediocre girls on there as it is a very well known sex site in the UK; however, if you find a profile of a lady you like, you can usually check up on her on UK Punting and other British sites, and see if she generally gives good service or not, just like you can on here for Amsterdam. Likewise you can go on UK Punting and similar sites (just type UK and punting into Google) for recommendations if there seems like too many choices. Its also good to give an Adultwork profile a quick read; I find that seeing a long angry rant posted on Adultwork is very helpful in letting me avoid bad service providers personally.

If you've not booked an escort before, I'd recommend seeing an independent lady in a big city (rather than going to a massage parlour or brothel), and take an hour booking. Independents are generally (not always!) more discreet and give better service (less tired etc) than ladies who work in the knocking shops, and a longer booking at a private house is much less stressful for a beginner than walking into a public sex business like a Manchester massage parlour (or sauna in Edinburgh).

Very helpful. Thanks.

AW feed back is a waste of time. It’s mostly fake and AW don’t give a shit as long as they get paid.
UK Punting is not as friendly a board as this one. It can be a real bear pit at times, but the reviews on there are a much better gauge of who’s worth seeing, what’s really on offer and what you can expect to pay. It’s saved me a LOT of money over the years.

I've tried to register with UK punting but I've not had any reply email about it and I can't log in. Have you had a similar problem? Does it take a while for them to accept you?

Has anyone tried punternet? It seems pretty good on first glance.

I think it’s a manual process, so it might take a little extra time for someone to process your registration.
Don’t forget to check your spam folder.
Give it a day or two and try again if you hear nothing.

Thanks. I have access now after emailing him.

Strongly agree with both of those emboldened statements. Ignatzmice is such a better place than UK Punting (or even Punternet tbh), which have some truly toxic trolls embedded in the boards. However, you can at least trust their reviews unlike Adultwork. Adultwork is good for at least allowing you to see what a girl claims to do without having to stand in front of a window negotiating (and getting influenced by the booty of the sexy chick standing in front of you), and for filtering your search down.

Young, good looking women are often over-booked and can be a bit harried/mechanical/haughty during a booking as a result. If you are new to escorting, I might also recommend you paradoxically try a less hot SP as your first go, because you're more likely to have a good first session that way.

Thanks for the tips. I've been fortunate to find a nice escort who lives not far from me. The only issue is that there is a small window where our schedules match up so it's not easy to get a regular booking with her.

I'm very grateful to have found this local scene as not long ago I thought I would have to continually visit Amsterdam. So thanks everyone for the insights!

Does anyone know if ukpunting is down? I am only getting a blank white screen when I try to view the site on my phone. I haven't tried on my desktop yet.

Looks fine to me.

Its fine for me too. It must have been maintenance or something.
