I thought I’d put this up as a simple guide from my own experience just starting out - for ‘veterans’ it won’t be much good but for long time lurkers (like me) it may save time and research - provide pointers.
I highly recommend this:
External Link/Members OnlyRead it, as you may come a cropper if you don’t. It’s as close to a real guide as you’ll get.
Punting. Treat it like a hobby, like gambling - set aside your budget and stick to it. Once you get started the temptation is there (if you’re inclined) to spend all your money at it when you find a winner. And to ‘chase losses’ if it goes wrong. Go steady. Take your time.
First ventures. Get your ‘sea legs’. Find a venue that works with a few girls you can visit before jumping into the independent AW lists. All that glitters isn’t gold gentlemen. You may miss someone who’s on a blacklist for some reason (thief, trickster etc) or that takes risks beyond what you would like to accept. Read reviews. Ask advice on here and take heed when it’s offered. MKE and Annabella’s in the south east was a good start for me. Simple. Easy. Also - Probably a good idea to head out of town when starting out. For me finding a nice English bird first off in a ‘parlour’ really helped my first few times. Like most things this is a generalisation, serious rule of thumb, but you get what you pay for in terms of quality. Try not to scrimp if you can help it. If a service provider is well rated and at ‘the going rate’, then go with that. Not just the price tag alone - that doesn’t tell you anything.
Learn the code. OWO, GFE, RO... all the abbreviations mean something. Learn them all and check before you go what’s on offer. It saves disappointment not getting something you wanted on the day. Don’t take it for granted girls all do the same kind of things and it’s all basically the same deal - it’s not. Reviews help with this.
Don’t make assumptions. You’re paying for the time - but it’s not 100% yours. Remember you’re still a guest. Things like bringing your own drinks are not always cool. Recording yourself for the secret wank bank / scrap book may sound like a normal thing to expect at 100’s an hour but it’s NOT COOL unless discussed FIRST. Some more ‘exotic’ requests like that (and that is exotic) don’t just come with the package - may incur extra charges - or may not be on the table at all. It may be really awkward to start with - but you will have to ditch the bashful virgin act and ‘talk business’ if you want to indulge a kink / fantasy. This isn’t a real date. She doesn’t know you. Her identity is as sacrosanct as yours. Know what’s cool and what ain’t. Don’t assume, ask. And ask First - or it’s proper down hill for you boys. And if it was on the advert but ain’t on now... you’ve lost nothing by not assuming and asking.
We’re only human. The better girls that work this industry respond really well to respect. If you’ve been working all day - clean up for a punt. Or use some time on your clock to do that. Talk and build some kind of rapport (if she speaks the lingo). Again, this helps any misunderstandings too and will make for a better punt (hopefully) in my fledgling experience. Wood - if you are having trouble fucking someone you’ve only known for 30 seconds it seems to be a thing for at least some of us punting blokes. There are threads on it here even. Don’t let that ruin your punting though. Stay off the porn and let your bollocks fill. Don’t rush like a cunt to an appointment. And talking with the girls works for me. Maybe find a ‘regular’ to start with. One that looks like Jenny from accounting perhaps??? What ever works. Relax.
Bareback / health risks. This will be the thing that makes you most hesitant.
You may not want to hear it and there are a lot of ‘opinions’ out there but bareback with a sex worker is massively risky - bottom line, regardless of how much your paying. Oral With Out (OWO) is less risky in terms of the bad blood (HIV) but it still isn’t 100% ‘safe’. You can catch a dose from a gobble lads. You’ve got 4 options. 1) Go full covered and eat nothing. 2) Oral with out and covered penetration (generally ‘the norm’ as I found it). 3) Bareback all the way. 4) Stay at home and have another tug. No one is holding your hand on this one. You’re on your own and you know the facts... but do you really want to spend three months shitting yourself waiting for results from the clinic - or even worse, I’ve heard about trying to avoid a partner (if you’ve got one) and shitting yourself through that for months, before you get the all clear. And it’s three months before you’ll know. Testing the day after is pointless. Again - reviews help on this one. And you can’t drown crabs in the bath! A bareback punt down an alley for £20 with a junkie is about as dangerous a thing you can do. Refer to the street Walker section, yes, there is one! Believe it or not.
Fucked it up? Don’t worry. Running late, missed an appointment, going in thinking all your kinky shit was ok - when it wasn’t, couldn’t get wood, couldn’t climax, shit service, shit venue... don’t worry. If she won’t see you again there’s plenty more that will. And if you didn’t rate the service - put it down to experience, learn, and move on. This is a really strange business and not at all what you may be expecting. But if it’s your thing and your getting something out of it, or getting more over time... then you’re like me. For me - if I personally wasn’t a bit of a fuck up... in all honesty I wouldn’t be here looking for answers and advice all the time. That’s just me though.
Finally...You could take a 6 week night course in this shit. Dos and Donts. When to walk and when to stay. How to review and the importance of that on this forum. Where to go - and how it works in general. It’s a minefield and ain’t really as clear cut as you think - not every time. Keep reading. Keep punting. Enjoy and roll with it. Like any hobby - some are naturals. Some need practice. You’ve made it to this site... your on the right track.
Criticism welcome. I’m far from perfect. And a big thank you to all the vets (and ladies) that steered me right so far.
