Picking Up Safely

There are lots of ways you can meet other people for sex. These include parties, pubs, clubs and online. All of these can be fun but there are a few things you can do to make sure you only get what you are looking for.

If you meet someone at a party, pub or club:

  • Introduce them to a friend or acquaintance
  • If you leave with them, text their name and address to a friend
  • Let them think someone else may be staying with you
  • Have your own transport or cab fare so you aren’t dependent upon them
  • Always trust your instincts - if something doesn’t feel right, leave

If you meet someone online:

  • Meet in a public place
  • Text, e-mail or tell a friend where you are going
  • Leave a note with the address of where you are going
