I take it to mean not so much that you can't afford it but more that you don't WANT to pay it.
Pretty much this. I used to be able to get an hour for like £120 and punted every week. Now the women I want to see are charging £200-400PH. If I pay 200 per hour it better be very good time for me to return. As for over 300 I can't justify paying that in my mind unless they're one offs and I'm ticking off my bucket list. I also can't punt as frequently as I would like at these prices. So I guess I'm priced out because it's not enough value for money to me anymore.

A thirty minute punt every month, probably £80. Alternatively, 5 cups of coffee each week at £3 translating to £60 per month. Drop the coffee and screw instead.
if you got a pret near you you can get unlimited coffee at £25 a month

I have reduced my punting by 75%. There are 4 factors in play for me

- Covid enforced a break from punting which I quite enjoyed and I saw the benefits of having more spending money to spend on nice things
- me and my wife both work from home and it is not easy to get out of the house for any period of time
- my sex drive is generally on a downturn so I haven’t got that desire to want to punt all the time. For the first time in 35 years I am in charge. This is probably the biggest factor.
- the price of a punt is too expensive. Girls who were maybe charging £70-80 5 years ago are now £100 plus for 30 mins. That doesn’t represent good value for money for me.

I’m just thankful that I don’t have the sex drive i did, let us say, 10 years ago because I would be in massive debt combining that with todays cost of punting. At least I’m in control now.

This is pretty much exactly where I am with my punting now. Points 1, 3 & 4 are precisely how I am.

I’m in a position where I can punt whenever I want but the covid break has changed me massively. The extra cash I have and a reduced sex drive has made me reduce things considerably. I’m way more picky now and probably punt once a month. Back in the day I was punting at least once-twice a week when I was hornier and things weren’t so expensive  :unknown:

However I’m surprisingly ok with it now. Back in 2015-2018 I knew I had a full on punting addiction and the money I was spending was ridiculous. Not having that addiction hanging over me is so freeing. I doubt I’ll ever give it up but having more control is a huge bonus  :thumbsup:

I'm doing it less these days and will probably be stopping due to having met a lovely girl on SA, but it's not solely that causing my lack of it. It's all the things you mention and what others have mentioned; price, standards of service and of providers, among other others. I'm having very big mental problems parting with £150 or more for someone who looks less than amazing and is likely to give less than amazing service. In this area, NE, a good few years ago we were absolutely drowning in amazing escorts, there were agencies like Diamonds and Notorious Girls which were rammed with amazing girls who had great reviews. Agencies seem to be rather poorly staffed these days and I'm not seeing the parade of stunners we used to get.

I've recently reviewed a girl called Ariana - she's absolutely amazing, gives incredible service and has the consistently good reviews to prove it. Not that long ago there were many girls like her. She's not unique in her high standards today but she's not far off! The scene has totally changed, I think.

Similar with AW; I've spent today trawling through it looking for someone and there are very few prospects that take my fancy. The few who do take my fancy tend to be 200 quid or more an hour which I'm fucked if I'm paying. The standard of service - as in replying to messages, for instance - is pretty abysmal too and has been for ages now.

Yeah I have cut down, not entirely due to CoL but just been generally quite busy and have started dating someone again. Though I am sort of waiting to see how crazy the energy prices go. I'm doing pretty well financially and don't really use much electricity but if energy prices literally triple I think that would take punting right off the table for me, or at least a lot less frequent.

A few people in this thread were saying it might bring down the costs of seeing SPs, I'd like that obviously but I'm doubtful. Certainly in Bristol they've only gone up since the pandemic, now most are £160-£180 when £150 used to be the norm. It seems like the cost of this hobby only ever goes up, never down sadly.

Absolutely. Some a lot more than punting.

My other hobby has gone bonkers in the last 15 years, worldwide.

You have no idea what people in Australia will pay for a piece of metal or plastic if it is the right shape  :D

Only just found out that JLP have recently withdrawn their "Never knowingly undersold" policy.  1st World catastrophic portent!  :scare:

Exactly what I had a few days ago.
Got 2 replies, one fairly quickly back saying she was booked up, and another was free after 9pm, but she never got back to me after I responded to that.
No other responses after 3 days.
Not even top class AW girls who might be in great demand either.

Then again, I work a bit in the Manchester etc. area, and there's obviously no shortage of cash there.
