→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.
===[[Prostitution Laws in the UK|What about the Law]]?===
In 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.
