→Overview
The main thing illegal is punting with a prostitute that is underage (under 18), forced/coerced, or trafficked. Note: it is no defence at all if you don't know she was underage or trafficked. The penalty can be life changing. And if you do this, you are a total low-life arsehole bastard.
If you suspect a trafficked prostitute, call [https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/immigration/trafficking/report-human-trafficking crimestoppers]. See also https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=398088
Otherwise, fill your boots! Enjoy this legal hobby!
Interestingly, this 2015 law also overturns soliciting as a crime, so if one picks up a prostitute on the street in NI, it is only the punter who has committed a crime.

By pimp, we mean a person (man or woman) who manages prostitutes, runs a brothel, or even organises a party. While it is unlikely to be enforced, a strict reading of the law says that if you book a hotel room, book 2 prostitutes and organise 3 other punters to join you (you plan a party), you have become a pimp.
A massage parlour is legal. But if the masseuse (or masseur) offers sex, blow job or hand job (happy ending) then it become a brothel. As described above, this results in no crime for the punter (or masseuse) but makes the owner and other managers at risk. There are very few massage parlours shut down in the UK.

Why do guys ask about sex with sisters? Or mother daughter? Anyway, if you really want to know:
The term incest is no longer used 'legally' but instead sex with adult (over16) relatives is covered under section 64 and 65 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003
The sex however must be 'penetrative' in nature. It is an offence for both parties if they are related
*https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/section/64
*https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/section/65
If a male therefore had penetrative sex with two sisters but who were not related to the male nothing illegal has taken place. If the two sisters 'interact' once again nothing illegal has occurred.
