10 years for me and I must admit I feel the same as you. I have not officially called it a day, but I have not punted in over a year and to be honest I haven't missed it.
For me at the start as soon as I thought about having another punt the adrenaline kicked in and I had to see it through to the end. For me it was the buzz of the whole process, the orgasm at the end was just the cherry on the top. It was the searching AW, finding the girl, messaging her and waiting for her to message back. It was the driving to the venue, parking and then walking to the door. It was the text to say "I am here" and the inevitable "just give me 5 minutes" as I paced up and down the street thinking "everyone knows why I am here..."
My first punt was amazing, I had thought about it for months and had looked on Ace Massage a hundred times. Then one day I had an afternoon free so thought fuck it and made the appointment. That drive was the most excited and nervous I have ever been, especially once the maid showed me to the room and I realised it was actually going to happen. I still remember my stomach flip as I heard her high heels on the wooden floor and the relief as she opened the door and she was hot.
At the start it was silly, two or three punts a week not all good as I often regretted the money I had spent as I left but the buzz was too great and I could not help myself. Usually I would be bored at work, think about it and then the adrenaline would hit and I could not stop.
But as time wore on the punts got worse and worse and it was clear the girls were putting less and less effort in. More often than not I would be cursing myself for doing it and wasting my money. I then lived in Australia for three years and suddenly there were loads of young, hot Aussie girls doing massage with HJ so I did that for quite a while. My fondest memory is still when I got massage and HR from two, hot 21 year old aussie girls.
I am now back in the UK and it has all changed, £80 for half an hour with an uninterested Rom or £150 for some 35+ year old english woman who I could fuck on POF for free.
It has all changed, I have been searching for a cute, young girl to just do massage and HR but I may as well be asking for the moon. I even put a reverse punt on AW but the replies I got were all rejected once I searched for the girls on here.
For me it is dead, although I suspect if I had plenty of money I would be paying for the high class UK girls.
If I had one wish it would have been to stop after the first few months and still have all the money. I dread to think how much but I suspect £20k...
