Manchester Scene - Selfridges

If you're new to escorting, or even if you're not, it's helpful to get advice from other people in the industry. Check out the links on this page for a range of information you may find useful, from escort guides to photographers. Maybe you'd even like to earn some extra pennies by getting into the movie business.

Information and Advice

When reading American (or other foreign) information relating to escorting, there may be references to prostitution being illegal. This is not the case in the Great Britain, sex work is legal here providing certain conditions are met, please educate yourself regarding the law.

Paying for sex was criminalised in Northern Ireland in 2015 (thanks to the DUP) though the law has failed to affect "the demand for prostitution, the number of active sex workers in the jurisdiction and levels of human trafficking for sexual exploitation".

Selling sex remains legal throughout the UK provided it is done privately, both parties are over 18 and make arrangements directly. Caveats apply, please read up on the law.
