Sex Contacts by City: Local Guides for a First Meet
Getting there, getting home and getting tested, city by city.
What these pages are
Everything for a first meet in your city
Each guide helps you arrange a first meet in that city once you have found someone to talk to: how to get there and home, which areas connect well, and where to get tested.
You set your nearest town or city on your profile, and other members see only that, never your address. If your town is not listed, the first-meet checklist works the same in any UK town.
Pick your city
- London
Getting there and home by Underground and night bus, easy first-meet areas by how they connect, and London’s NHS sexual health services.

- Leeds
Three kinds of first meet in a big student and commuter city, how to get there and home, and the Leeds clinics.

Getting there and getting home, areas by how they connect, and Liverpool’s Axess sexual health service.
Four nations, four health services
Where you get tested depends on the nation
Sexual health services are run separately in each nation, so each city guide names the service that covers it. The STI testing guide explains how booking works across the UK, and safer sex before you meet covers condoms, PrEP and emergency contraception.
Cities and towns, answered
Why these eight cities?
They are cities where people search for local hookups, sex contacts and dating, and where there is enough real local detail to write a useful guide: transport, clinics and how the city is laid out.
Can I use the site in a town that is not listed?
Yes. Set your nearest town or city on your profile, and other members see only that. The guides on meeting safely, scams and testing apply in any UK town.
Do the guides cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
Scotland and Wales, yes: Glasgow and Edinburgh follow Scottish services and rules, and Cardiff follows Welsh ones. There is no Northern Ireland city guide, but the STI testing guide explains its health service.
