Saving cash and having a wank instead are the benefits of hindsight.
It’s almost impossible to predict what service you will receive or what the hygiene will be like, hence varying reviews.
By that token (and a few more intricacies, such as a punters rapport with an sp), having a shit punt and deriving some sort of satisfaction is the only way to get over it, surely?
As the saying ‘money comes, money goes’ goes, money may likely come again, but for the sp, that’s one extra notch on her bedpost. The fact that she gave a shit service indicates her displeasure at having to do this job. The money she has earned - well who knows how long that will last her?
The way I look at it, we’ll all have good and bad punts. Some may be exceptional, but to take the rough with the smooth, we have to try and enjoy everything.
Which is where price comes into it.
Let’s say you have £500 to spare without feeling it would be a cataclysmic loss. Like betting in a casino, an amount you can afford to lose under the heading of ‘entertainment’ or ‘pleasant relief’ or whatever one likes to call it.
1. Some punts will be good and some punts will be bad.
2. If you only visit well-reviewed prossies whose reviews you believe of course) your options rule out new, untried prossies (many of whom, in my experience can give a superior GFE).
So 500 will give you
2 punts at 250, hopefully at least one will be good. Both are likely to “have nice bedsheets”.
4 punts at 125, and only 2 need to be good for the same batting average.
10 punts at £50 which is a vastly bigger talent pool.
50 punts at £10 which is a sensible price but mostly for short time except for a few long haul destinations.
So the best way of sampling new territory is to go for the cheap end of the market (one can always “double up”). It accepts that some punts will be shit
but it doesn’t matter cos they cost fuck all anyway.
