Alcohol to muster up the courage?

[Lovewomen]

Hi all,

So my guaranteed ritual before a confirmed meet is to have  glass or two of rose wine about an hour before the meet  , a little blue pill 30 mins before along with two ibuprofen.

Does anyone else have to partake in some liquid courage before a meet or am I on my own here?
I found it not only help calm my nerves before a meet but it helps me not give a shit about any neighbours/pedestrians around along with lowering my inhibitions during the meet.

I`m not sure I could punt without it.

Thoughts?

[Lema]

I drive to punts, so wouldn't dream of having a drink for Dutch courage, but even if I did with blue pill or not  I think I'd get a shrinky winkey.... 

[S.X. MacHine]

Each to their own, so do what works for you. However, can I suggest you change from Viagra to Cialis? Two reasons; firstly, unlike Viagra, you can take Cialis and alcohol without reducing the drug's effectiveness. Secondly, as Cialis doesn't have the side effects of Viagra, you could avoid taking the Ibuprofen.
Cialis has come down in price and is now available in generic form.

[Lema]

What's the Ibuprofen for?

[Littlefoot]

I never mix alcohol and punting these days, don't really need any Dutch courage. I used to get pissed 30 years ago and punt, but punting those days for me was mainly having the crack with the lads.

This is why I love UK Punting! Thanks for the advice S.X MacHine and I will definitely look into Cialis/Tadalafil as an option.

Helps ward off one of the two side effects of Viagra that hit me everytime. Namely, punt distracting headaches

[mr.bluesky]

Never drink alcohol before a punt for three reasons
1. always drive to a punt
2. don't want my breath smelling of beer
3. don't want it to effect my effort in getting it up- no need for any blue pills yet
I like to keep punting and drinking as two separate pleasures

[S.X. MacHine]

The generic works as well as the branded Cialis and is available on line from Dr Fox. 10mg of Cialis is equivalent to 50mg of Viagra. Unless someone has real erectile dysfunction issues, a 10mg dose is quite sufficient, enabling repeat erections for 12 hours or more.

[dave_59]

Mixing alcohol with tablets isn't a great isea.

Don't need anything before a punt - a 20 something openning the door does it for me

Simple, in two words...

'No way!!' 

[lewisjones23]

dont need any courage to punt - i put because i want to

[threechilliman]

I never mix alcohol and sex, civvy or punt  - doesn't agree with me.

[mrdiamond77]

I have not touched much alcohol over the last few years and would not dream of drinking before a punt.

[wombat42]

I guess its probably against forum rules to discuss weed and punting here.

[_Rust_]

I used to OP, couple of small bottles of beer before a punt as standard. Mainly to calm my nerves as well.

I never drink before a punt now however, I find I enjoy it more without a beer now I've been punting a couple of years. The punt actually feels like more of a release. Plus I wouldn't want to jeapordise any DFK that was on offer 

I do occasionally have a beer after a punt though, just depends on the circumstances

[RedKettle]

Drinking plenty of water before and after taking pill can prevent headache.

[JonasG]

Never.

Once you get your first few punts out of the way, the nerves go away anyway.

After a while punting becomes as normal as going to Tescos or something lol.

I remember I was so nervous for my 1st punt though!

[captainarcher]

Nope never, the way I see it I'm paying for her time and have no reason to try and impress her or anything. However can relate with being nervous with the neighbours etc but the way I see it I punt far away from home so chances of ever bumping into anyone local is close to zero.

[Autopunter]

Used to do this when I was just starting out, and the idea of walking into and out of a sauna in public used to literally leave me dripping with sweat. But as time went on the nerves grew less, and tbh I just found it blunted the experience and made it less pleasurably overall. Alcohol works better on those rare occasions when I've actually pulled and I'm kissing a woman who's into it; not just working to get me off, which, if done well, is almost as erotic in its own way as the first time you're having sex with somebody on civvy street.

[lewisjones23]

why would it be?

have you read the rules?

[wombat42]

I cant find the rules so maybe I wil start a thread on that anyway.

[m4rmite]

At the very bottom  centre of the page, on my phone at least

[dicksmith]

I find it hard enough to cum without a drink, a few glasses of wind before and I think I'd give up out of boredom.

[Malvolio]

I used to punt when drunk; eventually realised I was spending money on women I'd walk away from if sober.  Nowadays I never drink alcohol before the punt.

[bearcat69]

Been teetotal for several years, not judging people who do drink, but it doesn't really agree with me, and I consider it a waste of money, so the answer for me is most definitely, no.

Funnily enough, when I used to drink, I would often wonder near brothels and lapdancing clubs, but never had the nerve to go in them then. Never really helped me gain the balls to talk to girls in nightclubs/pubs either, where as I'm much more confident at doing that now. I guess just growing up and becoming self assured and confident through life experience was all I really needed to gain the balls to punt. Oh, and having more money, that helps.

[JonasG]

The nerves are more to do with fear of the unknown I think, but after about 5 punts you realise it's just nothing really.

You shouldn't be feeling nervous when you're a regular punter and need booze for it imo.

It should have passed.

[ManinBeds]

I must be strange! Alcohol lowers my libido and my thoughts turn to more beer and hopefully an impending curry so that would defo rule out a punt that day. Also I've always driven to punts so that again would prohibit me from drinking.
I'm naturally a bit of an introvert (although not in a lacking social skills way) but I can never remember getting nervous before a punt, I know exactly what I want and I want to be as sharp as I can be to enjoy the experience. I'm surprised anyone would need dutch courage after the first punt, it's just a business contract that lasts 30-60 mins no biggie to me but of course you need to do what works for you. Bottoms up!!

[thor555]

Had some of my best punts after having a few more than i should have.
Lowered inhabition no need for the blue pill. Could last for ages but only one pop!

[the_exile]

Don't like to mix my vices I have had a punt when pissed, got it up OK but couldn't cum so a bit of waste of effort to be honest

It’s a meet with a WG, not a real date. What are you nervous about?. Perhaps address the underlying issue. Are you feeling bad about seeing WGs in the first place? How do you feel afterwards? Elated or full of regrets? I don’t care about my neighbors

That a good question and you may have hit the nail on the head. I often feel a little guilty/sleazy (not judging anyone here!) because I have a close female relative that is on AW and at times she shares her horror stories with me. I`m one of the few people in our family that doesn`t judge her for her choices in life and that often means that she inadvertantly gives me an unfiltered glimpse into the world of punting from a SP`s perspective. 
I`d probably punt more often otherwise. I never feel guilty after only before and always enjoy my time but the pre punt glass of wine does suppresses the mixed feelings that are swirling around my head. Sometimes I feel it would be better if I was a sociopath void of a conscience and empathy but it was not to be

No drinking before a punt, for me.

[timsussex]

don't mix the two - trust William Shakespeare on Alcohol and Sex

it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance

Good quote, timsussex...thanks:)

My next planned punt is already booked with a very highly regarded SP with numerous of positive reviews on here for both her looks and service consistency. I`ll probably cut down to half a glass this time and work up to no alcohol eventually which appears to be the consistent advice on here.
Thanks to all for your feedback!

[Hitty]

If I drive never drink, if in Thailand drink and dive, enjoy

[nervous1]

Done it only once since I got to my destination early and there was a good pub nearby.  She was a hot WG and good SP and I had a bastard of a time trying to shoot my load (ended up knackered instead).  As such, I don't recommend it, especially if you are taking any sort of pill to boost your performance.

In my experience being nervous is a good sign and you should let the WG take care of that.  After the punt is a different story.  I like to get shitfaced.

[A Decent Fist]

Unlike Viagra, you can take Cialis and alcohol without reducing the drug's effectiveness.

I'm a bit late on parade here, but I'm intrigued by the above assertion, which came early in this thread. I'm in my 60s and take Kamagra (generic Viagra) whenever I anticipate sex, whether it's with my long-term GF or a working girl. It can make me a bit hot and sweaty but I don't get headaches or anything worse.

Not unusually at my age, any alcohol beyond a pint of beer or two small glasses of wine drastically affects my performance, negating the effects of the blue pill. This is not a problem when shagging WGs because I never have a drink before a punt. But it is a problem with the GF. We don't live together, we like to eat and drink well when we do meet, and being moderately pissed makes her much more horny and kinky. Me too, except in the rigidity department.

Switch to Cialis I hear you say, presuming the assertion in the quote above is true (can anyone confirm it?) Except I did try generic Cialis a few years back and found it had no effect on me. My cock behaved as if I had taken no drug at all, regardless of how long or short the time lapse between pill and action.

Has anyone had a similar experience or have advice to offer? The Cialis was in fact unbranded Tadalafil and I wondered if it might be dodgy, but it's from the same supplier as my always-effective Kamagra and, what's more, a friend I supplied from the self-same packet said it had worked wonders for him and he's been buying his own ever since.

Decent Fist, coincidentally I have an order of 8x 10mg Tadalafil tabs (ordered from DR Fox) that should be with me any day now. I`ll keep you posted with my experience of them.

So as promised, Decent Fist my review of generic Cialis, Tadalafil (10mg). IMO such a better option to Viagra. Took 1hr before an escort meet and fortunately there were no side effects unlike my viagra headaches and nasal congestion. I did feel the effect for a couple of days later waking up both mornings to some serious morning wood! Highly recommended.

Although the general opinion is to avoid alcohol, you should do what works best for you.
Alcohol is a stimulant and lowers your inhibition. However, it's a narrow window and if you go over, it will be depressive and have negative effects. The right dose will vary from person to person.
In the old days, I used to attend LMP parties and it was typical to sit around and chat with a beer or glass of wine while waiting for the party to start. Didn't have much effect on me or interfere with Viagra or Cialis.
Now that I'm older, I tend to act alcohol before the punt. But it's a personal thing, find your comfort zone.

[joe diddley]

I don't drink before a punt. A little nerves is part of the buzz for me. Unfortunately I get this less nowadays.

[thetinman007]

Alcohol is a depressant, slows down your nervous system

[Marmalade]

If you do, something that doesn’t smell. A mild amount (eg a double) of vodka makes a nice wee mouthwash. Encourages extroversion, softens the critical awareness so prossies don’t look quite so ugly and stupid.

What a series of stupid fucking comments.
