Its an interesting one ,and it seems a lot of common factors between the guys reporting in, albeit some are still getting some from the OH.
For me, its been over six years now, probably eight, if I calculated it! and I be been punting now for just on two years.
As has been mentioned sex is only one aspect of a marriage, and there is a lot of baggage and issues holding couples together , kids and financial matters, maybe shared business's also, and after over thirty years together things are always going to get a bit boring, aren't they?
Its easy for someone to say, why do you stick together, but if the split is acromonious, then life would be very tough afterwards probably for all parties.
For me, punting has taken the stress out. I can have what service I need from a girl who I really fancy ,and indulge in many an activity which was off the menu from the OH, so its been a great way to keep sane.
I view it as a hobby, I don play golf or any other such thing, so its great way to relax.
So the interesting question is, for those of us that are here and admit to punting, I do wonder how many others are also at it! and what percentage of guys do we represent? I bet that over 40% of guys in our situation are or have been keeping themselves occupied away from home!
