How can we help?

Simply click "Join" on the menu bar or in the top right-hand corner! You can set up and complete a profile in less than a few minutes!

If you've just completed your profile, it will enter a moderation queue for one of our team to have a look at.  Once your profile is approved, the new text will appear on your profile for all to see.

We aim to approve profiles as soon as possible, but all profiles will be approved within an hour.

Having a picture on your profile will get a lot more response. Many people filter search results to show only those with photos, don't be left off the list!

If you are concerned about discretion simply upload a picture of something else first, then upload your own photo. You can add a password on the 'Photos' page so that only those who you give your password to can access your photo.

You need to have a jpg or gif picture of yourself on your hard disk somewhere.

If you have a scanner, scan a photo of yourself and it will create such a file. Log in to the site with your user id and password. Click on "Photos". Click on the Browse button until you find the file/directory on your hard disk containing your photo. Press the Continue button and you should see the photo uploaded. That's it.

Some scanners create huge picture files and if the file is too large, the upload may fail, but it will explain that the file is too large.

Any other questions, or if you can't create a small picture file then just email us your pic at [email protected] and we'll post it for you.

Firstly, be patient.  It takes time to find someone special through an internet site, like anywhere else for that matter. Using a website to meet others requires practice and commitment like anything else worth doing. Sometimes you need to chat to and meet quite a few people first.

Unfortunately, that's the world we live in. Take your time to complete your profile, remember, it is your advertisement for yourself! Be sure to check out our own members' tips on what works in a profile, and what doesn't. Take your time to chat with many different people, and take your time to get to know someone well. Socialise and chat frequently and soon enough we truly believe you will be pleasantly surprised.

• Start by sending a number of mails out - cast your net far and wide. Don't just focus on the women who are online often, they will certainly be getting plenty of attention already - so mail some women who haven't been online for a while (they appear last in the searches)
• If you have received very little response from your mails take another look at what you are sending . Would those messages make YOU want to reply if you had a large selection of males/mails to choose from? Perhaps a change in approach is needed.
• Be sure to use a catchy subject line to entice them to open it. 'Hi' almost pre-empts the receiver to think you haven't even read their profile.
• Women are unlikely to check out your profile simply because you've asked them to or respond to you purely because you have given them your photos password. Get their attention with something personal to them to show them it's not a 'copy and paste' message (so many men don't realise the '>' marks give it away) - and make it endearing, light-hearted and most of all make them smile.
• Never start with sex. Have a quick read of the 'Ideal Partner' section of a number of women's profiles. You should see that they are looking for a sense of humour and a relationship of sorts - none have listed explicit sexual requests or preferences in their profiles. Steer clear of sex as a topic whilst on our site.
• Mail tends to get a much better response than chat. Many women will not chat unless you have 'proven' yourself through an email conversation first.
• Be honest! Certainly use your discretion on what you think is appropriate to reveal at which stage, but outright lying will get you nowhere as you will be found out sooner rather than later and will most definitely lose any chances of a relationship at the same time.

The Write Stuff

Having a profile that hits the spot is really important when you want yours to stand out amongst all the others. That means what you write about yourself is actually more important than you may think. If it's not done well, chances are you won't find what you are looking for and your mailbox will be sadly empty.

DOs:

• Be honest, genuine and natural
• Use a lighthearted approach, don't take yourself too seriously.
• Be positive about yourself and what you want.
• Check and double check your spelling, punctuation and grammar! Show that you put in the effort to do things properly. Don't abbreviate your profile into what looks like a 'txt msg on yr mob fone'
• Put in the effort to reveal your personality, complete everything in your profile in detail. Details on how you look, your hobbies and interests, and what you do are well worth providing and give you opportunity to show your intelligence and sense of humour. If your answers are too short you will come across as just looking for sex.
• Think about exactly what you are looking for. Let people know what you want in detail rather than sounding like everyone else. How many times have you seen "I'm looking for someone special to have a friendship with and see where it goes"
• Keep your sentences short and concise. Lengthy, incomprehensible, self-indulgent monologues rarely go down well.
• Let people know what sort of free time you have, and how far you are willing to travel.
• Be polite. This isn't a website for just casual sex.

 

DON'Ts:

• Don't try to be too clever, overconfident and cocky.
• Don't talk about sex, webcams, fantasies and sensual massages! Leave sex out of your profile and your user name. Save it for when you are on a more personal level with someone.
• No one wants to hear a life story about your family and kids or your complaints about your spouse.
• Don't sound desperate! Having no criteria for what you are looking for will make you sound like you would be happy to meet anyone, or that you just can't be bothered to think about it.
• Don't be negative, depressed or miserable. Profiles that paint a sorrowful picture aren't enticing.

 

Your photo...

We realise that on our site discretion is of utmost importance. If you want to include your photo, having password protected photos, hidden behind a picture of something you are interested in is the way to go.

You should upload some sort of picture to attract attention to your profile and show what you are interested in. People are more likely to respond to a profile that has a picture. Changing your picture often also gets people looking again and again…

If you do decide to put up a photo of yourself, be honest! There is not much point putting up a picture of someone else. You may feel personality is more important than looks but Mr or Mrs Right will still run for the hills if they find you have misled them. Honesty really is the best policy. Putting up a photo of you ten years ago may also end in tears if people think they are dating someone a decade younger.

You'll get a better response if you choose a natural shot rather than a cheesy, posed one. Natural light is often more flattering than one taken with a flash, so a photo taken outside may be better.

Don't take a photo holding out your camera at arm's length, use a timer or get a friend to do it - arm's length photos are rarely flattering!

Our threaded messaging system is similar to what you’ll have seen and experienced with modern-day apps such as WhatsApp. It closely resembles a live chat, meaning you can talk in real-time to a member (in the same way you do on the aforementioned platforms). 

Sending a Message

From a member’s profile, simply click the ‘Send Message’ button. This will open up a window where you can input your subject heading and message - just click Send when you’re done! 

Replying to a Message

Click on the Messages tab from the homepage to bring up your messages. Click on the message in question and simply type your reply in the appropriate box and click Send.

You can also check the box directly next to the Send button which allows you to send a message simply by clicking the Enter key on your keyboard.

Priority Inbox

Your messages will be sorted into your regular and Priority Inbox. Your Priority Inbox will include messages from members you’ve already been in contact with, members you’ve sent or received a Say Hello from, and members you’ve added to your Favourites. Your other messages will land in your regular Inbox. 

This means you can easily access the messages that matter to you most, before turning your attention to any new members who have contacted you.

Sent Messages

To see any messages you’ve sent, just click on the Sent folder from within the Messages tab.

Say Hello and Virtual Gifts present two other methods of contacting members. Virtual Gifts require IE Credits to be sent, while sending a Say Hello is free. 

While we wouldn’t recommend relying on Virtual Gifts and Say Hello as your sole method of communication (sending a personal message is always the best option) they’re a quick and easy way to let someone else know that you’re interested - perfect if you’re busy but don’t want to lose sight of a member.

To send either a Say Hello or a Gift, click the respective buttons on the profile of the member you wish to send them to.

This is a brief version of your obligations detailed in the Terms and Conditions. It is important that you have read the terms and Conditions.

1. Your login name should not contain any of the following:

• Overtly sexual references
• Anything that could be construed as offensive
• No reference to your email address
• No reference to your telephone number

2. Your photo should not be of a sexual or pornographic nature, nor contain exposed flesh. You can add photos like this, but they cannot be the first photo, and must be password protected, and then only shown to members that have expressed an interest in seeing a photo of this nature.

3. You must provide a valid email address for communicating with the site

4. Your profile should not contain any of the following;

• Overtly sexual references
• Anything that could be construed as offensive
• No reference to your email address
• No reference to your telephone number
• No references to other members
• No messages to other members

5. Your profile needs to be complete, ie all 3 sections filled in. It will be reviewed by a member of the administration team and you will be advised by email of the outcome. Each time you make any changes to your profile it will come back for re-approval. Whilst it is waiting for approval it cannot be seen by other members, as we need to ensure that it contains no prohibited content before it is released.

6. In communicating with other members, you must not use language or behaviour that may be considered;

• Threatening
• Offensive
• Bullying
• Harassment
• Libellous
• Racist

7. You must not use the site for;

• promoting other sites, services or business
• scamming or spamming
• posting junk mail or chain mail
• acting on behalf of non members or other members in any way

8. Men should not attempt to gain free gold membership through dishonest means. We take this very seriously and may refer you to our fraud department for further action.

Do:

• Strike up a friendship first over the phone, make sure you can talk to each other.
• Wait until you are comfortable with them before meeting, otherwise it could be awkward and uncomfortable.
• Read the newspaper that day to give yourself something to talk about!
• Let your date know what kind of place you are meeting, nothing worse than being turned away at the door because you haven't met the dress code!
• Show up! If you have to reschedule then give as much forewarning as possible and offer new possible dates and venues.
• Be prepared to meet on her terms, it can be quite daunting for a woman.
• Go somewhere you are familiar and comfortable with to alleviate first date nerves.
• Go with your gut feeling.
• Make an effort to dress well and look and smell your best (but be careful with perfume or aftershave - you don't want them to go home smelling like you!)
• Confide in a close friend about where you are going and get them to call at a fixed time to make sure all is ok.
• Set the ground rules before meeting - make sure you both know what the date is about and where the line is drawn.
• Arrive and leave independently - it's safer and if things don't work out it's easier for all.
• Meet somewhere public but discreet.
• Wait for your date outside the venue, its much nicer than trying to find someone in a busy bar or restaurant.
• Opt for a short meetup on your first date. 1-2hrs max, perhaps for a lunch date or a quick evening drink. This keeps the pressure off but gives you enough time to get an impression of them.
• Keep in mind the first date is about getting to know each other in person and seeing if there is a spark.
• Be polite!
• Put your mobile phone on silent or vibrate (but make sure you don't miss your friend's check up call if you have arranged one!)
• Be confident. They have agreed to meet you right?
• Have an exit strategy handy, just in case!
• Speak soon after to let them know how you felt, don't lead them on if you are not keen, but on the same token don't just ignore them!

Don't:
• Be misleading with your appearance, showing them pics from 10yrs ago will only lead to disappointment when you meet.
• Expect too much from a first date, give consideration to first date nerves and maybe make a second date as things can rapidly improve on second meeting.
• Be afraid to give a polite kiss hello and goodbye on the cheek.
• Go somewhere you frequent with your partner, particularly if the staff know you.
• Meet on your own, make sure it's a public place.
• Rush things and press for any sort of sexual commitment on a first date.
• Make lewd suggestions, you need to connect on a mental level first.
• Try too hard to impress. As hard as it might be, just be yourself.
• Forget your sense of humour. Make them laugh and you are halfway there!
• Be afraid to admit you are nervous, but try to relax and enjoy it.
• Bring hotel keys! (unless agreed!)
• Spend the whole time talking about your partner, this isn't a counselling session.
• Get in a car with a stranger no matter how well you think you might know them.
• Call them by your partner's name!
• Try and be someone you're not.

When and where:
• A casual lunch allows for a more relaxed situation and keeps the pressure off both of you. It also allows you to have a time limit so that you can part easily.
• If you are keen for an evening date, try for a few drinks in a pub - allowing you the option to extend it to a dinner date if all is going well. But keep in mind that the pub may well be busy on a Friday - not so good for intimacy!
• A posh dinner may impress but also may put too much pressure on, a coffee date can be easier to walk away from and ensure neither party feels obligated.
• A stroll through busy markets or a popular shopping centre can provide distraction if the conversation falters.
• Bowling, dancing or ice skating can be good for breaking the ice - and can allow for a little tactile fun.
• Somewhere with cosy recesses that isn't too brightly lit and unflattering may put you more at ease.
• A nice hotel bar allows for anonymity and leaves the options open if things are going well.
• Travelodges have a Brewer's Fayre attached - handy for a quick casual meet that can become more if you need.
• A cafe in a park is a good all rounder - a coffee, a walk, a bit of romance.
• A gig or a musical takes the pressure off if you both like them.
• A game of pool at the pub can be fun for a laugh.

For those who want to get up close and personal it pays to know the in's and out's of visiting hotels.

• Payment
  • Hold the room reservation by using a credit card - but tell them you're booking for a friend who will want to pay cash when they arrive.
  • If you need a credit card but not willing to risk using your personal one try CashPlus for a prepay credit card which you top up with cash (at the Post office, online etc). Thus it can be kept secret with no tell tale entries on your regular credit card.
  • If you use cash to pay for bill never withdraw the cash from "unknown" "unusual" cashpoints and just withdraw small amounts so as not to raise suspicion.
  • A cheque can be a useful way to pay because you can write anything you like on the cheque stub.
  • Dispose of any invoice or receipt immediately - don't put it in your pocket to throw away later - you may not do it.


• Where to stay
  • Novotel do day lets at good rates, good availability & generally happy to accept cash (and even in no smoking rooms candles don't set off the alarms)
  • Marriot has better beds, executive rooms very good and good room service too - all that exercise can make one hungry you know!
  • Days Inn - generally ok for 2 pm check in
  • Travelodge - not so good for early checkin, seems very variable. But has Saver rooms at £26 with 7 days notice, or SuperSaver rooms at £15 with 21 days notice.
  • Ibis now have a 'day refresh' rate 10am - 6pm for £42.50.
  • Try cheap rooms on laterooms.com


• Use large hotels or convenience motels (ie. Travelodge, Premier Inns etc) - they're more anonymous, meaning you're less noticeable. Hotels around Airports tend to be the most anonymous, and have the added bonus of being available anytime (while you wait for your flight of course!).


• If you travel on business or could justify having business meetings in a hotel, then pick a hotel to match. You'll feel more relaxed and blend in more.


• Don't pick a hotel where you're known in any way (business or otherwise). It's off putting for your partner if staff recognise you, and chances are, if you're a regular, they will.


• Most hotels do not make their rooms available until 2pm - so if you need it earlier explain you (or your friend) are traveling long distance and will require access earlier. Most hotels will be able to accommodate, but if not, and in rare circumstances you may need to book the previous night as well to ensure you have access from whatever time you wish.


• Park your car around the back or somewhere down the road.


• Don't pick a hotel too local. Better to find an excuse to be miles away than find an excuse to visit a local hotel. If you are too close to home for comfort try to avoid hotels with conference facilities and bars that are open to the public.


• Make sure that, when filling out your details, the box which allows the company to contact you with offers is ticked or otherwise to ensure you don't get unwanted mail. Holiday Inn will send you an invoice so it may pay to use your business address - if you do get sent promotional material or an invoice it will go to work, not home.


• If you feel awkward or self-conscious, make sure your partner stays away whilst you collect the key and check-in. Two red faces giggling around a reception area could attract attention!


• Ask if you can settle the bill at the point of check-inn. This will enable you to leave at anytime without a nosey receptionist asking why you won't be staying overnight.


• Make a conscious effort to go through each pocket as soon as you've left to make sure there's no evidence of you being in a hotel (keys, paperwork, condom packs etc) Make sure you pick up everything from the room, or you will be called to pick up your lost property!


• Once you vacate the room, don't tell reception you're checking out. Simply leave the key. They'll never check to see if you actually spent the night.


• As always, have a good alibi of why you're there.

Our pricing structure is what allows us to alleviate a critical issue – the ratio of men to women. Almost half (45%) of all our members are female – it’s highly unlikely you’ll find a number that high anywhere else.

This means we can ensure that there will always be plenty of women, regardless of your location, and you won’t see the same few faces over and over again.

It also means that you’ll rarely encounter any timewasters; the women on the site know that the men who’ve upgraded have serious intentions, and those feelings are reciprocated.  

In other words, our pricing structure allows us to maintain a healthy balance of men and women, as well as deter anyone who isn’t fully serious about meeting someone on Illicit Encounters.

Overview

This website is operated by Illicit Encounters. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over your data.

All member contact and identification data is kept strictly confidential and is never disclosed to other members or to any third party except as set out in this policy.

1. Who we are

We act as the data controller of your personal data. The data controller is:

• Online Tech Support Limited (company number 06419336)
• Registered office: 86–90 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NE
• Email: [email protected]

We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) under registration number Z1614409.

2. Our lawful basis for processing

Under the UK GDPR we must have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. Depending on the activity, we rely on the following:

• Performance of a contract — to create and operate your account and provide the service you sign up for.
• Consent — to send you marketing communications and to set non-essential (advertising and analytics) cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate interests — to keep the service secure, prevent fraud, and analyse and improve the service.
• Legal obligation — to keep financial records and to respond to lawful requests.

Because of the nature of our service, some of the information you provide (for example your relationship preferences, and the fact that you use this site) is special category data that reveals information about your sex life. We process this type of data only on the basis of your explicit consent, which you give when you create your account and agree to this policy. You can withdraw that consent at any time by closing your account.

3. Information we collect

We never ask for your real name or address, and we recommend you use a unique email address and a username that cannot be traced back to you.

To provide the service we collect information you give us, which may include username, email address, age, gender, relationship preferences, and multiple-choice details such as height and build. You should be aware that some of this information may amount to special category data under applicable law (see Section 2).

We also collect technical information to provide and analyse the service, including device type, browser and operating system, and your IP address. Your IP address helps us diagnose server problems, administer the website, recognise your chosen setup, and gather broad demographic information. Some of this is collected using cookies (see Section 4).

4. Cookies

We use cookies to remember your chosen setup and to keep you logged in as you move between pages. These cookies are essential to the service.

With your consent, we and selected third parties also use cookies for advertising and analytics/measurement (see Section 9). You can give or withdraw consent and manage your preferences at any time through our cookie consent tool.

5. How we use the information we collect

We use the information we collect to provide the service and its functionality. This includes, but is not limited to: enabling members to search for and contact one another, electronic communication, authentication of credit and debit card payments, and data analysis.

6. Electronic communications and marketing

We may email you with important service notifications — for example, when another member has contacted you. With your consent we may also send you emails offering discounts or news about the service.

You can turn these communications on or off in the My Account section of the website, and every marketing email contains an unsubscribe link. We will never pass your email address to any other party for their own marketing.

7. Payment information

When you pay by credit or debit card, or by a digital currency such as Bitcoin, some personal information (such as name and card number) is required to process the payment. We do not store this information on our servers.

Payments are handled by PCI-compliant third-party processors (such as Stripe) that encrypt stored card data. If you are an automatic billing customer, an electronic token is used between us and the processor to facilitate future payments.

8. Data retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy:

• Account data — deleted promptly when you close your account, unless we need to retain it to deal with a legal or financial dispute, in which case it is kept until the matter is resolved (normally no longer than three months).
• Financial and transaction records — retained for six years after the relevant transaction to meet our legal, accounting and tax obligations, after which they are deleted or anonymised.

9. Sharing of data

We do not share your information with third parties other than as described in this policy and as follows:

• Advertising affiliate (AdTraction) — affiliates that promote our service and use cookies to track and measure referrals for commission. Only user ID, payment amount, product purchased and payment date are recorded externally.
• Live chat provider (Olark) — applicable only if you use Live Chat. Only user ID, username, chat content and time of chat are recorded.
• Analytics providers (Google, Bing) — only limited information such as user ID, gender, age range, device, browser, product purchased and amount is held externally.

10. International data transfers

Where we transfer personal data outside the UK, we ensure an appropriate safeguard is in place:

• For transfers to the European Economic Area, we rely on the UK’s adequacy regulations.
• For transfers to the United States, we rely on the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (the “UK–US Data Bridge”) where the recipient is certified under the Data Privacy Framework and has opted into the UK Extension.
• Where no adequacy decision or framework applies, we use the ICO’s International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, supported by a transfer risk assessment.

Because some of the information you provide concerns your sex life and is special category data under the UK GDPR, we identify it as sensitive when relying on the UK–US Data Bridge so that it receives the additional protections available.

11. Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the following rights in relation to your personal data, which you can exercise free of charge:

12. Age verification and adult content

This service is strictly for adults aged 18 or over. No profile or member information is visible until a user has completed our age-assurance process and confirmed they are over 18.

Some content shared between members may include nudity. Such content is only accessible to logged-in members who have passed age assurance and is never publicly visible.

Age-assurance method: we verify age through third-party providers — OneID and Arissian for facial age estimation and phone-number checks — and through our payment provider, Stripe, for credit-card checks. These checks are designed to meet the “highly effective” age-assurance standard required by the Online Safety Act 2023 for services that allow pornographic content.

13. Profile deletion and account closure

You can delete your profile at any time by request to the online administrator or by email to [email protected]. On closure we delete your personal information in accordance with Section 8.

14. Automated decision-making

We do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you based solely on automated processing.

15. Security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure. Payment card data is handled by PCI-compliant processors and is not stored on our servers.

16. External links and public forums

External links: this site contains links to other sites. Illicit Encounters is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites.

Public forums and profiles: this site makes your profile available to other members. Any information you disclose in these areas becomes available to other users, so please exercise caution when deciding what to share.

17. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version and its effective date are shown at the top of this document. Where changes are material, we will notify you by email or through the service.

18. Contacting us

If you have any questions about this policy, our practices, or your dealings with this website, please contact us at [email protected], or write to The Data Controller, Online Tech Support Limited, 86–90 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NE.

We handle all personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, together with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR).

Remember that even if you have been chatting to someone online or by telephone, you don't really know them! They should be treated as strangers and all precautions should be taken to protect yourself. This should include;

• be selective about personal details and information until you have established trust of the other individual
• when meeting another member ensure that you meet in a busy place, where there are plenty of other people
• when meeting someone for the first time, make sure that someone else knows where you are meeting and arrange to check in with them if this makes you feel secure
• ensure that you arrange transport for the end of the date, especially if this is in the evening, so that you are not stranded at the end of the evening
• don't take any risks and put yourself in a vulnerable position
• be honest, if you are not comfortable with the person, make your excuses and leave

Treat other members with respect, but caution! Don't be frightened about meeting others, just be prepared and careful.

If you are worried about someone knowing you have visited this website please read the following safety information.

How can someone else discover your internet activities?

As a rule, internet browsers will save certain information as you surf the internet. This includes images from websites visited, information entered into search engines and a trail ('history') that reveals the sites you have visited. If you are concerned that someone may be suspicious of your activity please follow the instructions below to minimize the chances of someone finding out that you have visited this website.

If you know what browser you are using, then skip to the relevant instructions below. If you do not know the type of browser you are using, click on Help on the toolbar at the top of the browser screen. A drop down menu will appear, the last entry will say About Internet Explorer, About Mozilla Firefox, or something similar. The entry refers to which browser type you are using - you should then refer to the relevant instructions below.

Internet Explorer

Click on the Tools menu and select Internet Options. On the General page, under Temporary Internet Files, click on Delete Cookies and then OK. Click on Delete Files, put a tick in the box labeled Delete all offline content and click OK. Under History, click on Clear History and then OK. Now look at the top of the window and click on the Content tab, select AutoComplete and finally, Clear Forms.

Firefox/Mozilla

Click on Tools and then Options, then click on Privacy. Click on the Clear button next to Cache and Saved Form Information.

Opera

Click on Tools and then Preferences. Click on the Advanced tab and then the History section on the left-hand side. Click the two Clear buttons and the Empty Now button.

Deleting your browsing history:

Internet browsers also keep a record of all the web pages you visit. This is known as a 'history'. To delete history for Internet Explorer and Netscape/Firefox hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard, then press the H key (Ctrl, Alt and H for Opera). Find any entries that say www.illicitencounters.co.uk, www.illicitencounters.com, or tummybutterflies, right click and choose Delete.

E-mail:

Any email you have previously sent from your email program (instead of through our site) will be stored in Sent Items.

If you started an email but didn't finish it, it might be in your Drafts folder. If you reply to any email, the original message will probably be in the body of the message - print and delete the email if you don't want anyone to see your original message.

When you delete an item in any email program (Outlook Express, Outlook, Thunderbird etc) it does not really delete the item - it moves the item to a folder called Deleted Items. You have to delete the items in Deleted Items separately. Right-click on items within the Deleted Items folder to delete individual items.

Toolbars:

Toolbars such as Google, AOL and Yahoo keep a record of the search words you have typed into the toolbar search box. In order to erase all the search words you have typed in, you will need to check the individual instructions for each type of toolbar. For example, for the Google toolbar all you need to do is click on the Google icon, and choose "Clear Search History".

Google Destop:

http://desktop.google.com/en/privacyfaq.html#control has some details about how to stop things from being indexed by Google Desktop. The preferences also have an option to allow items to be deleted - search for them, and a 'Remove from Index' appears on the top-right of the results.

General security:

If you do not use a password to log on to your computer, someone else may be able to access your email and track your internet usage.

We recently asked our members for the best tips on keeping their activities secret. We were inundated with replies and have put together the best of them for you.

Stay safe online

• Get a new email account and make up a name and address. It may be better to have the same provider as usual so it is not apparent that you are using another one.
• After every session remember to go through the process of deleting all temporary files, cookies, history, forms and passwords. It may be tedious but vital.
• Public internet access, such as at an internet cafe or library, is an ideal place to ensure you leave no evidence.
• Don't part with your personal details until you are absolutely sure the person you are 'dating' is bona fide.

Taking it offline

• Avoid getting caught out through your mobile phone activity by having a separate mobile phone switched on only when available. A more popular method is to have a separate simcard but the same phone and ensure numbers on that second simcard are only for IE - you don't want to text your partner in error.
• Give non incriminating names to your IE contacts, such as a company name, or changing the name to something similar but of the opposite sex such as changing Chris to Christine, or Andrea to Andrew. If your partner does happen to snoop they won't find any suspicious names.
• Remember that many phones store "deleted" texts so if you have used your phone for IE contact never give it to anyone else to put their simcard in, even if you have deleted everything.
• Make sure to delete all calls from the call register and all sent and received messages.
• Avoid communication on the weekend if your lover spends their weekends with the family. This is always hard in the first few weeks of meeting but best not to risk it.
• And it hardly needs saying, but we will - NEVER give out a home telephone number.

The Scent of Love

• Don't change your behaviour. Try to smell the same as you would usually, either look nice and wear perfume all the time, or never wear perfume.
• Buy your partner the same perfume as your lover or get your lover to change their aftershave to a unisex one so you can use the same one too.
• Strip off your lover as soon as you meet (provided this is the plan!) so no smells or marks are left on their clothes.
• Be careful if your lover is a smoker if you and your partner are not. It may help to have an excuse ready - a business lunch at the pub, or a visit from a friend who smokes.
• After your meeting shower without soap or with unperfumed soap. Don't come home smelling freshly soaped and shampooed dead giveaway!

Dressing and Impressing

• Buy the same colour shirts your lover wears; make sure he only wears one of those when he meets with you and if perfume or lipstick end up on his shirt you've got one ready for him to wear home to his wife. Otherwise get your lover to bring a spare shirt or use dark tshirts which hide make up better.
• Buy two sets of lingerie or underwear in the same style. One for your partner and one for hiding in the car for a rendezvous with your lover. Your partner won't guess which set is in the dirty laundry! Even better, throw out the second pair of underwear after meeting your lover.
• Take your partner with you to Ann Summers to pick out some outfits... buy the outfits, and give them a shot. End up in the back of the drawer, unused? He may not enjoy them but you know full well that your lover will.
• Keep some spare (sexy) clothes at a trusty friends place. You can leave the house looking plain and get dressed up to meet your lover on the quiet. If you build in the extra time to get changed & back again afterwards you won't attract suspicion by looking good when you go out. Of course an obliging friend is a must!

Meeting. Organise your IE life to blend in with your everyday life.

• Be careful where you meet - you never know who may be passing by. Don't go anywhere without having a plausible explanation for being there. Always assume that you are going to get found out and have a cracking story... rehearse what you will say if you get caught and make it bulletproof.
• For first meetings try meeting locally at a place where you can pass your lover off as someone you're interviewing for work if seen, but stay away from immediate home area.
• Invent a 'job', part time or voluntary which will allow you to go away for days, nights, weekends.
• Always agree on meeting times and try not to arrive or leave a venue at the same time.
• If you have after work meetings and overnight/weekend conferences add a few more 'meetings' to the schedule.
• Be careful with mileage on your car - it can be monitored, and no speeding, you wouldn't want any speed cameras to record your activities. If you drive anywhere out of the ordinary tell your partner you are going there for something else, just in case your car has a prang.

Plastic or cold hard cash?

• Always use cash and save it rather than draw more every week.
• If you need to use a credit card have a separate bank account operating out of a different address and likewise a credit card. Online credit cards like Egg are useful as they don't send paper statements.
• If you have a trusty friend borrow their card to use for hotel reservations.
• Always throw receipts and bills away, never have them on you. And don't forget to get rid of parking stickers from your dashboard as well!

Hotels?

• If you use a hotel use a cheaper one, the bigger the hole in your finances the greater the risk of detection. A lot of hotels do day rates which can be useful for afternoon meetings.
• Make sure that you tick the box which says you do not wish to be contacted by the hotel company, or even better, complete any forms with false contact details if you can.
• Make sure you have an on-suite room so that you can shower afterwards and use water only. Going home smelling of soap is another giveaway.

Last but not least

• Practice safe sex. Enough said.
• Be careful about buying your lover presents, only buy them something they would buy themselves and never send letters.
• Use a website for anonymity, don't risk getting caught with a colleague or friend. And always have an affair with someone who is married, so that they too have something to lose hence will maintain discretion.
• Pick a nice nickname to call your lover. This is better than their real name just in case you call your partner by it. 'Baby' sounds better than James. "Who's James?!!" and you're in the doghouse!
• Some people go by the rule of 'Tell No One'. Others find it useful to rope in their best friend to help with their alibi, to unburden to and ease any guilt.
• Don't trust anyone too much and be nice - there's nothing like a spurned lover.

"I would like to say that if you are genuine and make clear what you want and what you honestly can offer then you will meet someone.
I've met the most fantastic woman who I'm going to have a very "special" friendship with.
The site was an excellent forum to discreetly meet someone and it's very very easy to use.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for a great site which has given me a new lease of life."
Mr G, Durham

"I have met a wonderful lady via the site and we have become great friends which I hope will endure for many years to come. Before you ask, we are both still in our marriages and have no wish to change that, but I believe I have found a soulmate."

---

"I enrolled on Illicit Encounters after seeing an advertisement in a monthly magazine. I was nervous as had not done anything like this before. All I can say is that there was no need for nerves as I have had tremendous support from the site administrators who keep in regular contact to make sure that you feel supported and relaxed about the whole experience. The icing on the cake was that I have now met a wonderful man. He was the first man to contact me on the site. Although I spoke with others we just seemed to be on the same wavelength in our emails. Have met 5 times already and are meeting again on Sunday. We are both happy with what is happening at the moment. Big thanks to you!" Member ID 85233

"I don't remember how I stumbled across this site but its the first one I have ever been on, including all of those messengers and chats. This site is bloody fantastic! Its great, it works well, and the advice is great. Happy happy happy customer!" Member ID 87237

"In my experience Illicit Encounters is a great networking vehicle for connecting like minded people with each other. I have met some super people and cannot recommend Illicit Encounters highly enough. Yours, very satisfied." Member ID 41715

"My impression, having first used the site to good effect about a year ago, is that it has much improved in the last 12 months. It's also the case that as far as I can tell you have succeeded in attracting very many genuine people - and that in itself is an achievement for a web business." Member ID 4720

"Saw it advertised in the back of a woman's mag, and after a lot of mucking about on inferior dating sites, have found this to be exactly spot on. Very good and have met a couple of people already. Excellent. Would recommend it." Member ID 83553

Hi, found your site on Google, yours was the best by far. It's also done the job for me for which I will be eternally grateful. I have met a fantastic girl with whom the chemistry has been simply amazing. Thank you so much." Member ID 79747

---

"I have just read a few comments from the other people on this site and had to add mine. I was a bit dubious about it as I have had some weird experiences before on other sites, but have to say this is the best by far. I was in need of some TLC in my life as my marriage had lost its spark. And did I find it on here? Oh yes!! I have chatted to some lovely guys but there is one in particular that I have met, and not only is he totally gorgeous but he seems to think the same about me, so yes, there is a God! Lol! So I would say to anyone who wants to join up, go on give it a go. I did when I was feeling a bit fed up and am so glad I did, I'm smiling again! Thankyou!" Member ID 74252

---

"I thought I'd click and give it a go, really glad I did. Have met up with some really lovely people, 1 or 2 that weren't so lovely, but hey, it's a chance you take. I can only say that this site has made a real difference to my life, made me much more confident in myself and really gives me a buzz. There is life after and during marriage, my saying now is 'Married, not dead'." Member ID 73804

---

"Thanks for such a wonderful site. I have met a very nice man and we are both in love, so its really a wonderful life! If not for Illicit Encounters we would never have met, so yes, thank you very much indeed. x" Member ID 58320

---

"Being on this site has transformed my life. I have met some wonderful men, a couple of whom are now great and loving friends because although we didn't click sexually we do have loads in common and enjoy the same things. I have also met a really great guy who I am spending valentine's night with and have high hope for it being a long lasting and wonderful relationship. The site has given me back my self confidence after being in a loveless and celibate marriage for many years. Thanks!!!" Name Withheld

"I just wanted to tell you what a great site I think IE is. I joined last April when I was feeling very low and my existing lover decided to end things. I was devastated and that coupled with a very unhappy marriage - I wasn't sure what to do. As a bit of an entrepreneur, I had this wonderful idea about starting a dating service for married people (The Times doesn't deal with marrieds) so had a quick check online to see the competition - and there you were. After registering really quickly and easily I soon saw that I wouldn't be able to compete, and before I knew it I was receiving 'kisses' and messages from respectable and professional men who wanted to chat and meet. I would be lying to say it's all been plain sailing and there haven't been a few hiccups along the way. But on the whole it's been a very pleasant experience. I've had about a dozen or so dates out of the many many more I could have chosen from. I am currently seeing 2 men from the site - both are wonderful (one is fab in bed and I don't know how his partner lets him out without a leash on). They are generous and kind, handsome, with beautiful manners and respect for me. In fact I've been 'glowing' so much that my original lover has come back to me. So I'm actually being a very naughty but very happy girl!!! Thanks, it's been excellent and wish I could recommend you to all my friends, but then they'd know what I've been up to!!!" Member ID 33644

"Great site ! My first contact has resulted in the discovery of a great friend and lover already. We both seemed to be looking for the same thing from our profiles and seem perfectly matched when we met for the first time. Both said a one night stand was not on the agenda before we met, but friendship, respect, trust was required first. Think we were both surprised what happened, but it felt so good and right. We now talk everyday and have become an important part of each others lives already. Thanks for changing my life already!!" Member ID 21037

"Dear IE, I came to your site recently with few expectations regarding finding someone that was not just ok but right in every sense. To my amazement I began writing to someone who I thought might just be a little close to what I sought, as contact continued my interest grew and began to see that in fact I was close to finding the person that had all the attributes that I wanted in a person. I was cautious still but a meeting a few days ago confirmed that I had found precisely what I had been looking for and more! There was an instant spark and no barriers just complete delight. Neither of us expected to come away from this site with anything other than maybe's but I was wrong and attitudes have changed form it wont happen to we are going on holiday together! It was instant and she is a wonderful attractive person who has blown me away and I am happy to say vice versa. We are now looking at possibilities that we both thought would not or did not want to happen but it has and it was from this site that we found each other for real. What else can I say except thank you and to persevere to all those that think it cannot happen exactly how you want it to but it has. Thank you again IE" Member ID 33644

"Hi, I joined the site back in September & had a number of responses. At the beginning of October I met a fantastic guy, we have been seeing each other regularly since then. He has changed my life completely & revitalised my sex life which was very much missing at home. I have never visited a site before but I am glad I found this site as I feel so much happier, in one sense as I have met the man of my dreams, but sadly my marriage has broken down. It had been on the rocks for a good few years & this gave me the final push to end it. Hopefully the guy I have met will become a permanent person in my life as his marriage has also been over for a number of years. Thank you very much for the site & I would recommend it to anyone as it is safe site to use & all the people I had contact with were honest & open. I hope I don't have to visit the site again ( I mean this in a nice way)." Member ID 51793

"I have enjoyed my time on Illicit Encounters, have met some wonderful men, and one in particular who, fingers crossed, may develop into something serious, (actually after 3 weeks is already quite serious lol). Thank you Illicit Encounters." Member ID 44382

"There was a time where I never thought I'd find someone who wanted the same things as me, a caring friend who allowed me to return to my family but I've found him thanks to IE and my confidence is growing daily. Thank you." Member ID 45983

"I have a strong sense of gratitude to IE for providing me with a means of finding such a very nice man. My life is revolutionised. Of all the men I met in order to find him they were all perfect gentlemen." Name withheld

"Through your web site I have found a very special lady to share passion and romance with. She is everything I have ever dreamt of and a lot more besides. I never expected to meet anybody quite like her through the internet. She is gorgeous looking, slim, sexy and has a wonderful warm and bubbly personality. In short she is the find of the century and her husband must be nuts to let her slip out his grasp!! I can only thank you for setting up your web site, hopefully I won't need to come back and visit again...so best of luck...." Member ID S002110

"I have only been a paid member on the site a few weeks, very impressed with the response, and the quality of ladies who are serious about meeting up! Also found the Online Administrator very helpful, prepared to listen and respond to suggestions about the site." Member ID 50865

---

"Within 3 days of joining Illicit Encounters I found exactly what I wanted on the site. The site has real women who know what they want and it is so easy to use. I have found a beautiful girl who is so sweet, something I was looking for over years. I wish to thank all staff at Illicit Encounters for their part in making this website so good and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone." 40yrs, London.

---

"I would like to express my total satisfaction with your site. It has been a most enjoyable journey and I have now met my ideal contact in a lady called **** and also made a number of other contacts who are now good chatroom friends. Out of approximately 100 contacts only one was what you could describe as "strange”. All other women have been very polite open, and honest. Many thanks, I would recommend this site to any decent person and will use the service again if things don't workout." Member ID 44978

---

"Lets be honest, it's better to use a site like this as you can be honest about what you want. Much better than going on to a 'dating site' and misleading people." Lisa229

"Hi, I just wanted to say thank you so much for this site. I've had a really great experience on here, and it has added a new and much needed dimension to my life. I know there can be pitfalls in this sort of thing, but thus far, I have been very fortunate with my 'introductions'. Best wishes to you all. Regards." Name Withheld

"Hi there, I thought your site was excellent, I have met such a nice man, very kind as well as being gentle and thoughtful. Who knows what will become of it but if I need to go back I would do so straight way. Many thanks for your help. PS I would tell others about it." Member ID 51398

---

"This really is the most amazing site. I did not hold out much hope as I had looked at another couple of places and they were horrid. So far I have not anything like the same nasty experience and in fact spent most of today fantasising about a guy I spoke to last night!" Member ID 52828

"I think your site is brilliant. I think most people are decent professional people who are fed up like me! There is obviously a call for this kind of thing judging by the amount of people on here. Thanks so much." Member ID CO48322

"I first signed up two weeks ago, on the first day I got lots of messages! Got a messages from a gent, I then asked to see a photo, he was very open and sent me two. We had a chat on the phone that day and got on so well we met later that afternoon. And wow! Was he nice! Just like his photos. We talked in a pub for about an hour then we took a nice walk round my town, we then took a nice ride getting to know each other even more. Then we ended up in a hotel room and it was just what I needed. I thought it would have been a one off as I was happy with things but he emailed me again a week later and a meet is on again for this afternoon so I have a little spark for now!" angel 40

"Hi there, haven't been up to much... life is pretty good. Was on IE many months ago and was very happy to chat and flirt with a few people, even met someone, but then realised it wasn't for me... but the website did make me open up and talk to my husband and tell him exactly how I felt... we even went for counseling, and the result is that we are happier than ever so thank you IE. Not only have you introduced me to a few very lovely people but also made me get my marriage back on track... With best wishes P.S One of the people I met through IE has become a very good friend.. who not only is good listener but a fab flirt." Name Withheld

"I am being spoilt for choice here; I find the site very therapeutic, have met some very nice guys had a very good run so far (lol). Having been on a few of these sites before, I have found Illicit Encounters to be the site with the best results and varied options." London - Name Withheld

---

"I joined the site a month ago. After sifting through around 150 responses and meeting several very genuine and appealing men, I have met the man of my dreams and we have fallen in love. I am unable to find the words to express my appreciation to the site for helping us find each other" Member ID 43450

---

"Thank you - I have found exactly what I was looking for and feel like a new woman! I have been fascinated by the fact that I am somehow sending out messages as I have been chatted up, beeped at in the street and frankly hit on more times in the last months than ever before! Thanks enormously for making my 50th year so much better than I could ever have imagined!" Name withheld

"I have met the most wonderful man and shall not be visiting IE, forever I hope - thank you so much for getting us together!" Name withheld

Hi, I'm probably also one of your "success" stories... I absolutely reveled in the attention I got from your site, and when R emailed me, I didn't rush to reply as his was only one of many mails I received. One day however he was online at the same time, a couple of instant messages were exchanged and 17 months later I really do feel I've met my soulmate. We've shared fantastic weekends together and a number of very happy and also very sad moments in this time and I really couldn't be without him. My marriage has broken down in between times -- inevitable unfortunately -- but it changes nothing between us and I really am grateful to I.E. for bringing us together, there's no way our paths would have crossed otherwise. I hope I'm only one of many successes for you!" Member ID H002664

---

"I joined your site a few weeks ago, and this terrific guy contacted me who had also recently joined. We are both in marriages with children so are committed, but fell in love as soon as we spoke to each other. Never had an experience like this in our entire lives before, I never really believed in love at first sight, let alone love before first sight! We both know we have commitments at home, but have met up a few times and things just keep getting better and better, I feel as if I've been waiting for this wonderful man my whole life. So thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. xx" Member ID 40570

"One of the men I have met is tall, muscular and very adventurous - likes sex anywhere and everywhere. He's very naughty - on the kitchen floor, in his bed, in a field, in the car and that's just the first five meetings!" Name Withheld

"My profile was a little different from some as I was looking for something longer term as I'd already had a couple of long term lovers and wanted a new one. I met with almost a dozen members of Illicit Encounters to find what I was looking for and have had fun with a couple of them." Name Withheld

"Ah, this site is great, obviously the annoying bit is ploughing through my 30 odd messages, but some of my encounters really have been a great laugh. Its made me realise life doesn't have to be all work and no play, so thank you. xx" Member ID 17460

---

"I can't believe I've met my gorgeous man. Took a site to meet someone so perfect for me. We were saying the other day that its a good idea because some people are shy and girls in particular can't just go to a pub or something to meet people. This way you can get to chat to someone first and if you feel uncomfortable you can just move on without too much trouble. Anyway, thank you again. Be back I'm sure for chats. Just tell them all out there, it works. Just don't tell anyone it was me that said so..." Name withheld

Greetings from this side of the Irish Sea ! Just want to say many thanks to you and the site. To be honest I was rather skeptical about the site at first, consequently I only joined for a month. Living In Ireland I knew there would be obvious problems in relation to travel and maintaining long distance relationships so I didn't hold out much hope ! BOY O BOY was I surprised or what - despite my reservations & short membership I had many responses which amazed me - now 3 months down the line after many emails & correspondence plus a few trips across the water I've found a very nice woman who just happened to want what I wanted. Now I know there are many cowboys, cowgirls, creeps & predators out there - and fair enough you have tried to weed them out. Everyone has an agenda on this site but I never wanted a harem of women across the UK - just one special one!! Thanks to your site I think I found that person! We are in regular contact by phone, text & email and I am embarking upon my third trip over to see her this weekend!! I can honestly say that I enjoyed the experience of being on your site despite the reservations & expectations I had! Illicit it may be, but as I have discovered it can open doors to a whole new world if used in the right way!!" Member ID 29375

"Happiness! Unbelievable happiness! 3 months now with my IE man and blissful. He was the first person I saw on here. Left it alone for a while to make up my mind to contact him. HE contacted me that day!!! We've been together ever since after meeting a couple of days after our first few mails. No plans for this to stop either. Gorgeous, genuine, kind, caring, honest man. We were both so lonely but had commitments, so now we're not lonely anymore. Think the world of each other. I've found not only a really good friend but lots of love and comfort and support during difficult times. I hope I give the same back. Thanks guys. Only went on here on the spur of the moment. Thought it couldn't harm to just look. One week later.... bowled over. Doesn't mean we won't both be having a nosey on here from time to time though. You do something for people that most would think a no go area. Just because someone is married or in relationship, doesn't mean things are perfect and they don't need to find something elsewhere. That's a hard thing to find. You've overcome the barriers of social wrongs and rights and done so in a upfront, lovely way. Thank you from both me and my man. Regards." Name withheld

"Just wanted to say thank you for a brilliant site. It is very addictive! When I have the opportunity I jump on. Home life very boring after many married years, and its lovely to interact with other people who are in the same situation." Member ID 18777
