addicted

[Outcallguy]

I'm finding recently I'm getting addicted to just seeing one girl after the other.

Which is playing hell with my bank balance.

What do you guys do to maintain a reasonable level of use?

Do you limit your selves to 2 to 4 punts a month rather than just going hog wild?

Unfortunately, I'm the wrong guy to ask ...good luck with it though, it can be a very serious problem. I don't think there is a "reasonable level of use" in that much like any other drug (imo, punting can be like a drug and some of us have more addictive personalties than others) you always want more. I certainly do. I suspect that the only way I would get it under control (if I wanted to) would be cold turkey.

Set a budget - weekly/monthly/annually - and stick to it.  Then go for quickies or massage if necessary.

One trick that works well for me, is if I'm contemplating making a booking, but I have seen a lot of prossies recently, I will knock one out.  After that you don't care any more and are £100+ better off.

+1 and as festisio already said get Pam and her 5 sisters to help keep things in check between punts

It is very difficult.  For me it is not choosing NOT to punt, but choosing TO do something else. If you have no other hobby, and Game of Thrones is too rubbish, join a Meet Up group.

[Outcallguy]

Good ideas. I will try them all out.

Thanks guys.

Like very paid for hobby you have to balance out what you can reasonably afford and budget for it.
Work out how much you can reasonably afford and by that I mean after everything else and leaving money for other hobbies as well as putting some away in savings and without touching what is already in your bank account
Then when you have worked that out work out how often you can afford to punt on that amount.  Then just stick to it. 
Find other things to do that don't cost money.  Have a wank, go for a walk, meet up with mates.  Anything to stop you spending money you cannot really afford.

Some people have addictive personalities so find it quite easy to get addicted to their hobby be it punting, gambling or anything else.  You just have to be able to say "I cant afford it this week". 
At least with a budget you will look forward to your punts more and will probably find you enjoy them so much more too

[Outcallguy]

Thanks Dani
That's a really good way of managing things.
Role on payday so I can work it all out

I am now "semi-retired" from punting but even at my peak I used to limit myself to 2 punts each month.

I pride myself on never being addicted to anything, I like to visit casinos ------------ but I know when to walk away.

Not everyone has my willpower.

Same here I have beat my punting lust a few times thanks to the old 5 knuckle shuffle saved me a small fortune.

I can relate to this,i started punting at least once a month last year and this month i am contemplating having my 4th punt of april tomorrow!
I am really conscious now of saving cash for punts so am boozing less and generally being less bothered about seeing mates etc.
I am viewing it as a phase and hopefully will settle into a steady 2 punts a month routine soon!

It's been said before, but I think the best way is just to flick one off the wrist, that should quell the urge for a day...

I would also suggest not logging in to AW or UKP as much, doing so will probably raise the temptation.

That's what I was going to say.  Browsing this place and AdultWork definitely fuels my desire to punt.  I'd like to cut down my punting habit from 2 or 3 a month to just 1 a month. 

If you want to cut down on punting then you also have to find something else to replace it.  E.g. a hobby.  If you're punting too much don't be fooled into thinking that sensual massage will help control your desire to punt - I've found that it only encourages it.  Like giving Marijuana to somebody trying to get over a heroine addiction.

What you could do is only punt using extra cash that's acquired outside of your regular job somehow.  I.e. that way you'd have to start up some new activity to make extra money.  A project in eBay buying and selling perhaps, or an extra job - part time.  The advantage of this approach is that not only are you avoiding making yourself skint (by not touching your normal wages whenever you go punting) but you'll have motivation to do something else outside of punting, and this activity in turn might eventually replace punting in your life (or force you to cut down as you wish).

Sounds like you need to take yourself in hand. Literally. 

[LanceVance]

One thing you can do, is spend money on everything that needs to be done first (DIY, servicing the car, new appliances, etc) first before punting. As others have said, making sure you have spent and saved on the essentials first is important. After that you can blow your hard earned disposable income on whatever and whoever you want. 

[wazzockchops]

Keep a record of how much you're spending - seeing the actual cost can be eyewatering!

Saying that, you may look at the list with fond memories and go out for another punt!

Wow, for me 2-4 punts a month is going hog wild! That's pretty much the limit of my punting when I'm letting myself really indulge the habit, so I dread to think what your definition of "hog wild" is.

To be fair, my punting is currently limited by supply rather than demand. There just aren't enough hot girls around for me to bother seeing one very often. Lately I've just kept an eye out on AW, not bothered punting at all for a while, then I leap at the opportunity when someone new and interesting turns up.

when i first started punting. the addiction was crazy within 4 months i saw 20 wg not to mention the cost of the hotels. I think it was because it was something new and quite crazy. I mean to email someone your address and within two hours their sucking your knob it was quite exciting. But fortunately for me and my bank balance i get bored quite quickly  .

And also i did start not to get as hard as i use to and taking some time off replenishes me. Limit yourself to one wg a month or try getting with a regular wg every two weeks.
