This was something that struck me , when I go to a meet I never carry any ID,credit cards, a strict punting only phone, and of course the exact agreed amount of cash, now what I thought as getting older if anything untoward should happen ,illness, accident, or whatever  by the very nature of what your doing the WG is not going to know who you are, where your from, or any real ID information. If your in the car they could trace you that's assuming they know were it's parked. Am I the only one whose thought about this or is it just me worrying about my own mortality. That would be a very awkward conversation with the family after the event. :unknown:

Tend not to worry about it personally but can see why it is a concern for some, maybe when fear becomes to much you would be happier out of it !

Forgot to say yesterday that's cool, accepted was ribbing you about J.

I agree with you about taking the absolute minimum to a punt, as that is what I do myself.  Also I rarely use the car, preferring public transport if available.  If anything happened to me, it wouldn't really matter but it depends very much on your personal and family circumstances.  Is it starting to become a worry to the extent that it's on your mind during/going from/to the punt?  If so, then yes it may be time to consider giving up.

I have eased off on my ultra security - not only for the fear of accident/death, but just for balance of ease in my life.  So I often have a wallet and sometimes my 'man bag' (with ipad and stuff) with me.  Since I might have other stuff to do before or after.

I know it is more risky - but only a little bit more.  A bit like OWO vs OW - trade off in risk.  I am still careful - particularly for new girls.  I take my stuff with me to the bathroom when I shower for example.

I never go into a punt without wearing my punting toe-tag. An essential piece of punterphernalia that belongs in every punter's kitbag. :hi:

No definitely not giving up over my cold dead body , just wondered about other views on it if the worst happened I wouldn't be worried any more,anyway it's the family that'd have the surprise, but on a serious note in this day and age when punting you've got to take the utmost care , can't believe punters would go in with wallet and phone with their life story contained on it because all WGs are totally honest :sarcastic:

I normally take my guide dog who knows what to do in case of emergency and a pocket full of gorm. Would never punt without it.

I go in with a bag containing papers required for the day, wallet, phone [turned off] and car keys, normally keep my watch on - have only occasionally injured girls with it.

Bloody hell there's some rampant paranoia on this board.  First it's health and now it's security.  I don't know why some of you bother...punting can't be very enjoyable if you're worried about every last aspect of it.  My first punt was 1977 so I've been at it for 39 years.  Never been mugged, never had an STD, never really been threatened and for that matter, never had a punting phone either.  FFS I can't manage one phone...who needs two?  Worse that's ever happened was being ripped off in a clip joint, twice (years apart) and that wasn't really punting.  Read a comment today in another thread about someone who'd never do outcall because he'd never let an escort know where he lives.  I would say of all the outstanding bookings I've ever hard (and it's quite a few in almost four decades), north of 75% of them have been outcalls to mine; it's warm, comfortable, I'm relaxed, and the girl almost always quickly feels at home too (in two cases, girls have stayed overnight on a one hour booking just because they wanted to.  It does happen.)  Never had a single problem of any kind with that...I imagine half the escorts in three counties know where I live.  Why should they be any more interested than anyone else?  FFS just get on with it and if you can't stand the heat, you know where the kitchen door is.  Some of the paranoia is astounding.  Punting is supposed to be fun, isn't it?

1.  I reckon my neighbours, unless they're thick as pigshit (which is possible) have probably guessed that I get the odd visit from an escort.  Do I care?  None of their business.

2.  You let lots of service providers into your home.  Electricians, plumbers, BT engineers, etc.  A few will rip you off in some way or nick things.  The vast majority won't.  If an obvious substance abuser or dodgy character (escort or plumber) shows up, you can almost always tell and proceed accordingly.  So no, I don't call it prudent to refuse to let an escort into your home.  You either punt or you don't.  I simply call it a lack of judgment and trust in yourself.  If you're brave enough to punt, you ought to be brave enough to do it in a grown-up way.

One man's paranoia is another man's precaution.

I see no reason to divulge any personal details whatsoever, the wg simply doesn't need that information, so being protective of it is merely self-preservation, not paranoia.

Whether I am single or in a relationship, I do not want my family and friends to know about my hobby, I have seen how they judge others who have been outed by the media. That may not matter to you, but it does to me.

Security in punting is just like very other aspect of the game, you take the risks that you consider necessary, in order to enjoy the rewards.

Seeing as sadly we have actually had recent cases discussed on here by admin and others about punters being outed by scum if a punter has something to lose in life he is wise to be careful with his personal info and security in my view.

There is no reason punting cant be fun and to look after ones personal safety/security as best you can. As to having two phones well you don't need two phones, just a dedicated punting sim will do. As to having an Outcall to your own home that's up to punters obviously, to me its utter madness, it only takes 1 WG or her pimp to possible fuck up a punters life, certainly not worth the risk to me.

Punters can read threads like this and make their own minds up.

Me I take toothbrush, mouth wash, exact money car key and glasses. I never park near the place I'm seeing the girl. I no longer park in hotel grounds since I got a ticket 2 years ago. If the OH had got to that 1st I would of had a hard job explaining it. If its local I'll cycle, which is so much easier. Or train and walk if it off a main line. Why take unnecessary risks.

I somewhat agree to the second statement, it really depends on your level of judgement on others. Which can be difficult to use while judging an escort, since none of them share any personal details about themselves, and when they do it's usually with a pinch of salt. But as long as you're on the lookout, for any indications pointing towards her/him being a shady character (drugs, scams, blackmail) you should be relatively safe... to a certain extent. If you study their profile and examine their writing/speech styles, the way they carry themselves, the way they look and dress. If she looks this (picture below) wears brass jewellery, types/talks in a 'swagger' attitude, of course you're going to get ruined if not robbed by her pimp.

Hidden Image/Members Only

Heck if you have high valued valuables and gold bars laying around your home, anyone will be 'tempted' to swipe it - no matter how 'honest' of a living they do - nurses, police officers, even politicians... actually yaknow what - especially politicians! don't even ask me why would they'd be in your home. :lol: As long as you keep it out of sight and stored safely away, no ones going to get tempted or know how much you're worth. Besides in reality most pimps are all talk and no walk to actually do anything anyways so  :drinks:


Also regarding the first point, couldn't you say they were your nieces? hahaha! or came for a viewing of a laptop/XYZ for sale? if they every questioned who they were, or if you really want to get defensive - "What? Can't I have friends over for bingo nights now? Paula? Sheesh ya grumpy old git! Just because you wasn't invited.  :lol:

And it only takes 1 WG or her pimp ever to fuck up some punters lives, so if you have something to lose why wouldn't you take your security seriously, to me its basic common sense.

Read a comment today in another thread about someone who'd never do outcall because he'd never let an escort know where he lives.

It might have been my comment you saw, so I'll respond.

There have been cases recorded here - admittedly very few - where an escort has turned up at someone's house and ripped them off, with a pimp in tow.

Also, instead of having call girls turning up now and again, it keeps our hobby secret for those that want to.

You clearly don't mind about that and have been very fortunate. That's your prerogative and everyone makes their own decisions.

As has been said, it's not paranoia, but taking reasonable precautions and, like everything in this game, reducing risks.

Just because I don't do my hobby in my home, doesn't mean I don't enjoy it; in fact, it's more fun and interesting going to different and strange places.

Good post, as long as punting is still fun and the worry of being outed doesn't trump the fun, being careful is the wise thing to do if you care. After in the past doing punts to my hotel room I nowadays much prefer Incalls, I can easily walk if necessary and have done many times and have no worry about a low life knowing where I live.

Glad to see someone with a lot of punting experience comes across with this view as it only takes one bad error of judgement and it's a nightmare, by saying "I've got nothing to lose " on that logic would you become a barebacker,  I would hope not  but being reckless for no reason just seems to be completely mad.common sense has to rule with a hobby like this.

Not sure it was your comment.  Anyway, with regard to someone turning up with a pimp in tow or otherwise ripping you off, as you say if it happens, it's a vanishingly small percentage of the time.  Not enough to worry about.  I've been ripped off (far) more often by tradesmen than outcall prostitutes in my 39 years as an adult punter.  In so far as yes, .01% of the time it can happen then yes, by all means take the precautions you see fit but I would suggest that not doing outcalls to your place solely because of fear of being ripped off is not a response appropriate to the risk.  Of course, it's entirely up to you which decisions you make for yourself and I wouldn't attempt to influence them.  I'm just saying let's be objective about the subject matter.

In terms of keeping our hobby secret obviously being single and not being friends with the neighbours beyond the passing acquaintanceship inevitably involved, domestic privacy is not an issue for me in that sense.  If the neighbours know the odd call girl stops by, as noted I really don't give a toss.  If I was married then obviously I wouldn't do outcalls to my home so I understand why those who are married (or in a relationship) don't!  I think we all know that.  However, the reason there is that you have something to lose; not that a call girl is likely to rip you off.  Incidentally, a woman I "met" on POF came by one night last year.  We had sex. Haven't seen her since.  So does the neighbour conclude I'm a scrubber or I use prostitutes?  No difference to me either way.

With regard to preferring new venues and places well, that's a case to each to his own.  Of course, if you prefer parlours then fair enough: Who am I to judge your taste?  My feeling though -- and this is personal -- I'm just airing what I've experienced (which, surely, is the point of the board?) -- is that no venue is so conducive to a good punt (for me, but often for the girl too) as a clean, comfortable and cosy home in which you both feel relaxed and there's no maid to knock on the door or other punters to avoid in the hallway.  When I've been in relationships in the past my punting has been done in parlours and, for me, there's no comparison.  Sex in a knocking shop can be good for sure, but it doesn't compete with sex in a spacious, laid-back, "amateur" environment.  For me, anyway.

I have absolutely no desire to win some sort of "home is best/parlours are bad" argument.  Each punter will make his own decisions about where to punt.  What I did want to do with my comments was air the side of the argument I took from the perspective of my own experience.  What readers do with my insights and comments is up to them.

Back to the initial point: Any time your response to risk is overstated, there is a degree of paranoia.  Protecting your privacy isn't paranoid.  Imagining you're likely to get ripped off or beaten up by an outcall escort is (in my opinion.)

a response appropriate to the risk. 

This is the nub of the matter. Some people who punt are single, self employed and don't give a toss what others think. Others are married or in relationships and are concerned what their employer /friends /family will think if they are "outed" or just discovered. .  Maybe over time people who take major precautions will relax a bit, but again if they need to avoid pavement cracks and have their rabbits foot with them to feel secure to punt that's just their thing.

To some single, self employed people who don't give a fuck are insane though, even though the person calling them insane walks to avoid pavement cracks.

Was recently a nut job on forum who mentioned crossing the road every time he saw black people to avoid muggings, bet he had a higher chance of being run over than mugged. People are strange and we will never understand them all !

Well maybe minimising the risk of an episode of ill health occurring by keeping fit, maintaining a healthy weight and eating sensibly is worth considering? Conversely, if you have some sort of condition or propensity to illness you should consider not punting or accept a need to carry some sort of ICE details on your person.

Simple Tips.

Say as little about yourself as possible.

Always use another sim card for punting.

Carry only the correct amount of cash on you if possible

If it feels wrong,walk.

If things go pear shape and the pimp gets involved,stand your ground.

Not sure I see much of an issue here with or without anonymity. If you keel over mid-punt, then the family are likely to find out either way. I've often thought it would be a memorable way to go, and future generations could refer to your mode of demise when going over the family tree  :D

I may punt in a gap in my schedule which makes it difficult for me to only carry cash for punt etc. I do wear clothes with hidden pockets etc which might defeat a casual inspection, but I could probably do more, with little effort. Perhaps have one lockable container I carry with me, into which I place valuables pre-punt. Maybe I'll get around to looking into that ...

Offline Marmalade

With newbies it might just be pre-punt nerves. So instead of going for a shag, they ask UKP a million and one security questions, usually about a trillion different AW prossies, until they are completely convinced that one of them is 'safe.' Then she doesn't answer the call and they have to start again.  :cool:

A lockable container could be nicked as easily as anything else surely (unless it's padlocked to your arm, or for an outcall, the bed.)

Hidden pockets though I think are a good idea, but even more importantly ones with zips. Not cos many prossies are there to rob you, but simply to make sure things don't fall out while your mind's on other things. I always place my clothes within sight and roll my trousers up, pockets first, and put them neatly on my shoes where I can see them. Just saves worry. If I take a shower first, I take them off in the bathroom before the shower, or take them with me to put on after the shower if it's at the end of the punt. If I'm carrying cash for something after he punt, it's in a different pocket. I take more precautions punting in 'third world' countries, but the routine is basically the same. Not out of distrust, but if you don't afford an opportunity for anyone to rob you, then you don't worry aboput whether they will.

Yes - I'm thinking it's merely safe from prying eyes rather than can't be nicked. I do have lots of clothes made to the same pattern which have many hidden and zipped pockets. These also have non punting benefits - I know where things are because roughly speaking I always keep them in the same pockets! Good tip about the trousers.
