Current Financial Climate

[Roman77]

I was just wondering if your punting habits have changed due to the current climate? I found lately I just can't afford to see girls at the rates some charge. I know I could sometimes stretch to 30 min appointment but I always find it rushed so at the moment I'm thinking more with my head and saving for a special occasion. Never tried massages as I find the thought of visiting there awkward. Unfortunately my circumstances have changed and I have to be careful where money is concerned. Fuel, food and energy prices have hammered my budget leaving little for recreational time.
Would be interested to hear if it's just me or are others struggling to justify their punts.

After the experience I had last night I think I'll just buy a bottle of baby oil and watch an hour of porn.

An hour? Top edging!!

Just read your review from last night. Those experiences can really make you think how you spend hard earned cash. I’m sorry it was disappointing but thanks to your review and I know it’s little consolation but you’ve saved quite a few from a similar fate. That’s why this site is so much better for trusted reviews than EI.

I wonder where Martin Lewis punts?

Wherever there’s cash back

Yeah I have definitely cut back Roman, I would have always tried to see a wg once maybe twice a month, now I’m lucky if it’s once every two or three months.
Comes a time when you have to be sensible and feed the family not the desire.
I try to do as much research as possible now so as not to waste money, hence why this site is so valuable.

I punted like mad between 2015 and late 2019, with the current prices I wish I had done more. Remember when you could have an hour with a good escort for £120 all inclusive. Now even the dreck asks for 200 smackers and more for extras.

Somewhere with 24 months interest free and 0% on balance transfers

His wife is quite tasty so not sure he needs too

Very true  I'm sure there's quite a few guys who can still afford regular punts and the higher end rates but I'm afraid like Longtimedead it's time for the sensible head to be switched on.

Only woman I'm even remotely interested in punting at the minute is Sexy Sally. Hasn't quite suited yet but I'll see her next time she's here. Looks like unbelievable value at £100 per hour

[Curious-1]

Times are tough.  I noticed many girls on EI have the same price in Euro and Pounds.  Anyone tried paying them in Euros up here? EURO120 is now £100

[pussylover76]

Ive asked this before on here but never tried it.
A lot of SW have to exchange their GBP, so I would say they might prefer yo-yos to pounds.

I certainly hope so

Until 2019 I visited the Tarts 2-3 times a week, mostly 30 quid for 15 minutes, which often turned into 20-30 minutes depending on mutual sympathy. Well, there were some that weren't worth the money, but there were also many that were fabulous and I visited them regularly. Then came police raids, Brexit, Covid and only the over-professional who are only interested in quick money with little performance stayed here in the UK. Since then, hookers in the UK have been getting worse and worse, but more expensive. At the moment I'm in an on/off relationship again and only visit hookers in European countries.

Edit .. I forgot, my budget is still okay, but my attitude isn't anymore.

[Bryan11]

You’d think with the cost of living/inflation rising, along with the high prices girls charge now, more would be tempted to become escorts. But supply is at an all time low

[belfastpunter]

I started out punting punting late 80s. There was a big recession on then. Lots of the streat workers were single mums, layed off nurses, homeless young girls, vulnerable normal people looking to pay their rent.
I don't know why you don't see that now.
Could be intimidation from gangs,  could be the low cost margins now, could be lack of privacy now.
In 1990 I was paying 140 for one hour incall, a full weeks wages, and 40 for a quick car shag  so don't try to tell me it's more expensive now. There have been a couple of local girls exposed by name in Sunday rags and another great local girl who's real name and details was posted on this very site.

WTF? 

[maxQ]

I can only see prices rise, accommodation is always a problem for escorts, they tend to get ripped off, with the number of Ukrainians on the way its going to push up prices IMO

[belfastpunter]

WTF? 

Pussulover, that was just some of the stories they used to tell me. Plus married up with articles in the Belfast Telegraph. Funny because the article told me where to look for them.

Why would any girl here want to become a WG when there's the far easier option of just doing something like an OnlyFans?

It's safer, it's legal, it allows them to make a shitload of cash for next to no work, it lets them keep the creeps and thugs on the other side of a screen, and a good chunk of the girls doing it aren't even actually showing their faces. It does have its own risks and pitfalls etc but even those are nothing compared to the dangers of being a WG, and above all it's just easier and cheaper.

Those struggling people are still around today, they're just selling pictures instead of themselves.

The big names on OF make good money the rest make very little, just count the likes they get for pictures and videos and you can more or less figure out what they make
