→What about STI/STDs?
From time to time a new poster arrives to [http://www.ukpunting.com/index.php UKPunting] stating that they are new to punting and requesting advice.
Here are some answers to a few frequently asked questions by newbies. See also [[Glossary]] and [[Punting Myths]] and [[Punting Top Tips]].And after that read [[Guide to Writing Reviews]] and [[Nik's 21 Rules of Punting]]
Also note the general guidance for new members on UK Punting: '''Give''' before you '''Take'''. Do not expect help before you have offered at least something.
You will soon realise that in reality there is no such thing as a fair rate. It mostly depends on what rates punters are prepared to pay and how much prostitutes think they can get away with.
One fact that you must be aware though is that there often isn't any relationship between cost and quality. There are many documented escorts charging £80 £100 an hour and giving excellent service while more expensive ones charging twice or three times more and offering a mediocre service.
Lastly be aware that quite a lot of prostitutes escorts like to offer some services as an extra. For example [[Glossary#OWO|OWO]] might be included in their hourly rate but [[Glossary#CIM|CIM]] will cost you extra. The same goes for anal sex, very few prostitutes escorts offer anal sex inclusive in their basic rate it often is offered as an extra.

===[[Prostitution Laws in the UK|What about the Law]]?===
In the United Kingdom England, Scotland and Wales it is '''legal ''' for consenting adults to agree to a money-for-sex exchange. However, there are a number of related activities, including soliciting in a public place, kerb crawling, owning or managing a brothel and pimping that are classified as illegal. Furthermore, in England, Wales and in Northern Ireland it is an offence to pay for sex with a prostitute who has been “subjected to force” and this is a strict liability offence (clients can be prosecuted even if they did not know the prostitute was forced).
Please notice also that although the age of consent for non-commercial sex is 16, it is illegal to buy sex from a person younger than 18.
In the unlikely scenario that the brothel gets raided by the police while you are visiting, you may be asked to give your details. You must do so as giving false details may land you in trouble.

===Basic Security===
* Get a Punting phone and a [[Buying Adult Content Online|Punting payment card]]
* If you use Adultwork, make sure your profile does not have your real name or your UKP name. [http://www.adultwork.com/EditProfile.asp Link]. If it does, change it now. * Also check your punting email. Even if the email address is random. , a program may have added your name, if you use it from your main computer.
* Do not sign up to any punting forum or site (including Vivastreet) with a work email address e.g. KeithRichards@rollingstonedguitarshop.com - this could lead to blackmail attempts if you happen to visit an unscrupulous escort.
* Never ever mention a punt you are about to have on a forum. Nothing good can come from you your announcement. And so many things can go wrong. (You being outed, her being outed etc). Reviews are about the past.
* Don't connect Adultwork with UK punting if you can avoid it.
