Mental health check-in
Before anything, ask yourself: Am I in the right frame of mind to play or go out? Be honest.
Prep the Session
- Estimate how long the hook-up might last and plan accordingly.
- Video call new guys to verify profiles — catfish risk is real.
- Agree an end time with your host and aim to stick to it.
- Bring some cash to chip in for supplies.
- Have an exit strategy in case you need to leave fast.
- Tell someone you trust where you’re going. Carry a ‘next of kin’ card.
- Add an emergency contact to your phone’s lock screen.
- Take a photo of the street when you arrive. Try what3words.
Pack Smart
- Fully charge your phone. Bring a charger, cable, and power bank.
- Pack backup cash/card and keep it separate from your supply money.
- Avoid impulse cashpoint withdrawals — risky and traceable.
- Meds? Take them, bring extra just in case.
- Mini toiletry bag: tissues, wipes.
- Condoms, lube, gloves (fisting), douche kit, clean slamming kit.
- Bottled water, energy bar, mints/gum.
- Feed your pets.
- Got a partner? Think up a solid cover story.
- Poncho — just in case.
Stay Safe
- Don’t cruise or hunt for new meets when high — you’re more vulnerable.
- Keep your stuff zipped up and on you.
Plan the Comedown
- Fresh sheets on the bed before you go.
- Prep snacks, fruit, hydration tablets or electrolyte drinks.
- Clean T-shirt, underwear, eye drops, skin moisturiser ready.
- Replace contact lenses.
- Pack sunglasses for the daylight walk home.
- Sexual health check-ups and self-test kits
