That there's no shame in deciding to pay for sex and there are a myriad different reasons why men opt to do so... It's actually very comforting to read others' origin stories and hear the whos, whats, whys and whens of their punting lives. The first few punts I did, afterwards I'd laugh to myself and think, "What the fuck is wrong with me?!". Now, especially after reading hundreds of reviews on here, and other members' entries into the world of punting, I don't think like that anymore. I've learned to accept that it's ok.
On top of that, loads of practical things, like handing over the cash within the first few minutes... First punt I was so nervous I forgot and she had to ask me for it, doh!
All the different acronyms... Took me ages to work out CC swipes!
Also, something I'm doing a bit more now is really thinking about taking charge of the punt and making it more than just a fuck, tailoring it to what I want - if that makes sense. Like, introducing role play elements, extended kissing sessions, massage (on her), toys... I really liked andre00's review of Sonja in the London section (
https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=321838.msg3357442), where he put a bit of preparation into a hard anal session - really considerate in the way he built it up, and she seemed to respond really well to his approach. Not saying I don't think about what I want, but it inspired me to consider being a bit more thoughtful about how to approach a punt and possibly explore other aspects of my sexuality/do stuff that's a bit out of the ordinary. Rather than just wanting to go in and have a bang, and go home (which I also enjoy of course).
