The Law
In the UK, paying for sex with a consenting adult is legal. Selling sex is also legal, I just keep that disclaimer on my site because it amuses me. You can read about laws in England and Wales regarding prostitution here.
Confused by the Jargon?
Here is a list of terms and abbreviations used in the sex industry and elsewhere.
Crimestoppers
Have you encountered a sex worker who you believe to be underage or working against his or her will? You are not powerless. Please call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or visit their website to make a report.
Relationship Help
Lack of sex may seem like a straightforward issue, but is often a symptom of deeper problems which can be worked through by learning to communicate with each other effectively. Relate offer resources and counselling to help you both.
If you're married and considering seeing an escort, I strongly encourage you to work on things with your wife first. Once you start buying sex it can be a difficult habit to break, and the more you do it the more likely she is to find out.
Sexual Health
If you think you may have been exposed to an STI or just want a checkup for peace of mind, you can be tested for free and anonymously at your local GUM clinic. Here is a national list of clinics, and here are some common questions about GUM clinics answered.
Hotels
Most people like to use large hotels for the sake of anonymity. The larger hotels in Brighton are for the most part all fine, and you can get some good deals on LateRooms. Ask me if you want to know what I know about any specific hotels in Brighton.
If youre less worried about being seen and would like something a bit different, how about a themed room in a small boutique hotel? Have a look at the Pelirocco and Blanch House.
Discreet Online Shopping
I should probably mention that the first two are my affiliate links, but I'm including them because I shop there a lot and I think you should too.
LoveHoney is a nicely organised site that sells a wide range of sex toys, condoms, books, lingerie, and lots of other stuff. They promise the lowest prices, deliver quickly, and were also very fast when I had to return items.
StockingsHQ. There probably aren't that many people reading my site that want to buy stockings, but I've been an SHQ addict for three years, so if you want stockings you should get them there. They have a huge range of stockings and hold-ups (no tights) from budget to luxury, in classic and fashion styles, and suitable for all sizes. They're also very good value and love their product.
For your other undergarment needs, Figleaves has it all. If you haven't shopped there before, you can search for "figleaves voucher" to get money off your first purchase.
Honour will provide you with lots and lots of fetish stuff, though I've used their physical store rather than the online version.
Online Communities
Message boards related to the sex industry provide a place where you can talk openly about a part of your life you may keep secret from everyone else. They can also help you learn about the experiences and views of other people involved in both sides of the industry, and offer support and advice on related issues. You should be skeptical in such anonymous environments though, they don't reliably represent the sex industry and the most prolific posters often have no first-hand experience at all. If you visit them looking for advice, remember that the same topics come up a lot, so its worth searching through existing threads to see if your question has been covered before.
Two of the most popular national boards are PunterLink and PuntingZone. South East Punting and Sussex Punting are useful for localised discussion and resources.
For Escorts
Visit SAAFE for advice, it's run by experienced escorts and has a forum where you can get more information and ask questions. Please post on the forum rather than emailing me for advice, I'm better at replying to threads than emails, and you'll benefit from other views as well.
