"Punting is not for the faint hearted"

[sparkus]

It's a truism, often repeated on here in response to newbies' posts/queries etc. (usually about STIs but also privacy/personal safety)

This then got me thinking, what FS options are there which don't involve visiting a brothel/somewhere on a council estate/a rough hotel?

- some Chinese massage shops have SPs who do FS (ostensibly they are legit businesses with non-sexual other customers)
- there are still some old school 'saunas' in outlying parts of London/provincial cities

I though this, just in terms of men who'd be potential punters but perhaps wouldn't fancy visiting a brothel behind some shops run by a Sergei.

This then got me thinking, what FS options are there which don't involve visiting a brothel/somewhere on a council estate/a rough hotel?

One would hope that should include most decent independents? Who rent their own places

Why would the only options be dodgy locations? Or ever have third parties involved (illegal)
And if they’re so difficult to find apparently, why are a lot of SPs typically spending a hundred PER DAY on serviced apartments if no one is using them 

Perhaps it’s a reason to avoid pimped women if all the locations are so dire
I fully understand the bargain prices are appealing though!

[Milfman1112]

You are obviously talking from your own experiences?
Most sp that I have seen have been in decent areas, nice houses and popular hotels,
The girls themselves probaby don't want to be in rough council estates I would have thought.

Never visited a brothel / parlour and never will. Not that I’ve got anything against them in any way at all, I just know they wouldn’t work for me. While I’ve punted in the odd rough area, in my experience there are plenty of options that don’t involve any of the things mentioned above, and that’s before looking at alternatives such as seeking etc. Research is key

Most of my punts are in decent hotels or AirBnB rentals and i have not been to a dodgy area for years. Most touring girls stay in nice places where I would happily stay myself if visiting the area. I do tend to see British girls though and I know that many EE girls frequent less salubrious locations. Nothing wrong with a well run brothel if you are not local either. I wish they still existed near me. Places like Sandy's in Manchester were great and always felt safe.

Had a few punts in what be called 'rough ares' but in the main most girls I've seen are staying in mainly top notch apartments close to my city centre area. They tend to be proud of the fact theu can afford these places both to work and live. Some even keep two places one for work and one for play!!

Interestingly, as the largest and most successful parlour in the North West it was situated in a highly desirable suburb of North Manchester. Perhaps the location was also part of its success?

[RandomGuy99]

Most I've seen are in good quality apartments or hotels. The kind of venue an SP uses often says a lot about the quality of the experience you get.

I've only seen one on a dodgy council estate and that was at night.

I've never tried a parlour although I'd like to try it just for the movie style experience of having them line up and me having to choose. Kinda like being in a sweet shop.

Good luck with finding somewhere with a lineup these days :-(

[pythondan]

Re. Sandy's I used to go to the Southern branch in Northenden which is a nice enough area. On one visit all the girls on the day's rota were available so I was treated to a rare lineup 
Cannot remember the name of the girl I picked but she looked like a blonde, Scandinavian super model - had a broad Manc accent when in the room. I really miss decent parlours. You could drop in and have a gorgeous girl on a whim. More planning required nowadays

I'm guessing that a lot of novice punters would have a hard time telling a decent independent in their own flat from a dodgy Sergei/io operation.

[Colston36]

To the contrary. Often it IS for the fainthearted.

For those who can't get what they want without paying.

In my case - and I am sure I speak for others - because things ain't what they used to be.

But I can still get what I want by coughing up.

Com to think of it, was I always such a catch? Or was it that I had lots of moolah?

Well , if you had lots of " moolah " you would be a catch wouldn't you ? Or are you suggesting by "catch" that you considered yourself good looking 

[stampjones]

Most of the thai agency girls are in decent enough flats. From memory most agency girls used to be too back in the days I did that. The only time I ever got ripped off (craigslist ad so my own fault lol) was about as middle class suburban as it gets. On the counter I saw a seeking girl on a “dodgy” council estate and it was one of the best times I had on there. Not sure what point Im making here. Oh well, its Friday night…

This is so, so true.  Especially from my early days. lol

Indeed !!!

Round the back of a popular car wash place in Bradford comes to mind for me.

Them were the days fucking street girls  and lasses with cards in phone boxes. 

Getting an incall on a rundown council estate was utter luxury in comparison. 

How times have changed.

There's still parlours in Gtr Manchester with line ups, not the quality of a few years back though.

Tried a massage with HE place recently and that was a “here’s the girls working tonight, which one would you like?” setup, if that’s what you mean by a line up?

Prior to that all the SPs I’ve visited have either been in a hotel or an apartment that they rent/own

Herbal Clinic in Cricklewood, each girl working and available comes in to introduce themselves, sometimes up to five of them if they're not busy.  No FS though.

My original point was about such premises, where newbies can punt safely (not least as many such massage shops do offer FS).

That's good to know, down my way I've not encountered a proper line up for over 10 years, it was a murky basement flat in a fairly high value area, they wheeled in about a dozen girls one after they other, I was wondering when it would end. By the time the last one had gone through I could remember when the earlier ones looked like, so I opted for second to last.

Soho is a very expensive area of London - but walking into a walk-up for the first time is not for the faint-hearted either.

Soho is a very expensive area of London - but walking into a walk-up for the first time is not for the faint-hearted either.

In 1978 aged 16....with paperround and car cleaning cash...

I climbed a few of those stairs to be shooed away with your to young lv....try next door....Finally I entered the domain of a Signaporean girl maybe late 20`s with quite heavy breasts for her size and type after a quick wash in the sink I got OWO then Bareback for 4-5mins as I came she looked angry with me and insisted I wash and do it again as I had time  £10 and £1 tip for maid who had laughed at me as I entered telling me "She`ll eat ya alive sunny" I thanked the maid and told her after it was my 1st time ..." I knew and she knew " was reply she then told me about the Maltese ladies who she was a maid for on diffrent days I went to them  Christ those were the days when Soho was full of walk ups and you could shag around the world, I have never been worried or scared in Soho but other places Ive punted

True in my early punting days I was a bit too gung-ho going anywhere and everywhere. I've done some naive things abroad too luckily nothing happened and I came out unscathed and balls empty. Although there was one time I was being driven to somewhere for a sex party, my gut was saying this doesn't feel right so I got out and walked miles back to hotel at like 3AM.

I strongly recommend you try this, definitely an option in many places in Thailand Spain or Cyprus to name a few. Can lead to panic decisions and buyers remorse but at least you won't get B+Sed

Fundamentally I am an introvert, but after an end to intimate relations with my partner and finding escort websites it was really difficult to resist going down that road. Since then apart from a few awful meetings with women it has been an exciting and rewarding journey. I do realise there is a dark side to it all so research is essential.

Would you have any recommendations for the Paphos/Pissouri region in Cyprus please ?  TIA

[Vice Admiral]

If you’re punting, then right from the start
You mustn’t be faint in the heart
Or get in a funk
’Cos you gotta show spunk
When you’re trying to visit a tart!

I haven't actually been to that part of Cyprus! There were clubs like this around Ayia Napa in 2016, but maybe things have moved on. German FKK always a safe bet as is Barcelona. Stating the extremely obvious there lol
