How we list and review

This page explains how places get onto AskedFor, how they are ordered, and how reviews work, so you know what you are looking at.

Who we list

Businesses that operate legally in the UK: escort agencies, escort directories, erotic massage studios, gentlemen’s clubs, swinger and fetish clubs and adult shops. We do not list brothels or anyone who will not confirm that everyone they advertise is 18 or over and works of their own free will.

Verified

A listing is Verified once the owner has proved they run the business, by adding our badge to their own website or confirming with us directly. Until then its website link is hidden and its pictures are illustrations. Badges are checked every week.

How places are ordered

By default, Featured listings come first in their area and category, followed by everyone else ordered by rating, reviews and how complete the listing is. Featured is paid and always labelled. Paying never changes a rating, a review or the Verified badge. With Near me on, everything is ordered by distance.

Reviews

Reviews come from signed-in members and are checked before they go live. We remove fake reviews, abuse, explicit detail and personal information. Owners can reply to reviews, but they cannot edit or remove them.

Guides

Our guides are written by the AskedFor team for UK readers, kept plain and practical, and updated when things change. They are general information, not legal advice.
