I've spent almost £25k on punting

[MJ.spritzen]

I started punting in 2009. For the first two years I was punting at least once a week. I done a tally and estimate that I've punted at least 350 times. Possibly more. On average they were £70 punts before the prices risen last year. Then there's the Splat Bukakke event I went to in 2017 and five Manchester gangbsngs at £150 each.

350 x 70 = 24,000
150 x 3 = 450

So about £24,500 (I think the Splat Bukakke was £50/£60).

Makes me sick to think of it in those terms. Especially due to the fact that the majority of them were not great or memorable punts. If I'd have invested the money each time rather than going for a punt who knows how much it would have accumulated by now?

A lesson for any newbie lurkers here. If you must punt, only see dead certs reviewed on here and don't go mad.

[PumpDump]

That is nothing over 13 years. People spend more on alcohol and eating out. Enjoy your life, don't beat yourself up.

+1, plus punting better for your health than drinking or eating too much! 

[poundstock]

I started punting late in life (age 69) and so my outlay is going to be rather less than those of you who have been at it since your 30’s and 40’s. Pay only what you can afford and enjoy a guilt-free and no regrets hobby.

Mate ive spent about the same on stupid punts over a much shorter period 3y or so

Its an addictive hobby if youre young ... you just want to punt all the attractive birds multiple times, and more often than not the attractive ones cost a bomb at 250/hour

So honestly dont beat yaself up, 25k is find over 15 or so years!

[lamboman]

 A pretty cheap hobby if you ask me.

[alabama1]

I have spent a similar amount of money as the OP, but over a shorter time scale, and i don't regret a penny of it. Even the bad punts have left me with some funny memories that i still chuckle at to this day.    And the good punts, well i have had sex with some beautiful girls over the last few years. Never in a million years would i ever be in these stunners company if it were not for spending the money. The OP begrudges spending 25 grand, you could lose that amount on the depreciation of a new car as soon as you drive it out of the showroom. I know how i prefer to see my money disappear

It's addictive whatever your age, trust me ! 

[Charliehutton]

I only started punting in retirement, since when most of my pension has been spent on red wine and prostitutes; I've just wasted the rest.

Don't begrudge a penny of it. Live like a sultan, and enjoy the harem!

[Moby Dick]

I try not to think about it.

Been punting on and off for the best part of 30years.
I haven’t kept proper records, but was using parlours on a weekly basis, then 6 or so years ago I started doing AW meets at £130-£150/hr. I was spending more than £5k/year at one point.

I went through a stage where I was telling myself “one more punt, it’s only a days pay, I will just retire a day later. May as well enjoy the money now whilst I can”

Certainly spent enough to buy a modest house/flat or retire at least 5years early!!

[willie loman]

its not perhaps a sensible hobby at the start of your life, but for those of us at the end, or approaching the finishing line, its fairly cheap, 90£ for a sexual encounter for anyone in their 60s, that a bargain, no pockets on a shroud, but few of us show any common sense about our mortality or money. those of you who think that women have the upper hand, compare your sex life, to women in the same age group. the only inheritance i ever received, from a religious bigot , i enjoyed spending in edinburgh saunas.

Live for today. You could be "kicking up the daisies" tomorrow. If you even think about how much you have or are spending on punting then it's the wrong hobby for you.

Hard to quit tho... I wonder if people have actually managed to let go off punting altogether

[Bogof60]

25000 in 15 years.

Thanks less than £140 a month.

Totally agree, a friend bit the dust recently at 62, punt with money you can afford not to worry about, think of it as a losing bet you enjoyed somewhat  .

If you are a punter of any sort, or have a hobby, you are probably not an avid saver of money, it would be gone another way.

Nearly same as you Moby. Been doing this on and off for about 20 years, have stopped when been in a relationship. Must have spent a lot but you can't take it with you! Tend to punt a couple of times a month at normally £150ish an hour so that soon adds up. In the main I usually have a great time with a hotty so good memories for the wank bank in the future.

[Steely Dan]

I wonder what a reasonably active footy fan spends per year.  I bet more.  I they only get fucked by the VAR.

If I were not so lazy I could find what I have spent on those I reviewed (I think I always note it).  Most likely £150 each so £20K.  And I have spent way more on the ones I see often but have only reviewed once.  Oh, and my international punts don't count in my tally.  Yikes.

Still ... earned more on my house over the last ten years.... blind luck of my generation.

[mr.bluesky]

+1, plus punting better for your health than drinking or eating too much!

And sex is the best way to burn off the calories,  keeps you fit 

[Bustydusty]

I’m spending a lot more now than ever since 15 months abstinence during covid

Generally 2x 45 minute punts weekly with the occasional hour rub n tug

[Blackpool Rock]

Is that why there's a clap of thunder every time you enter a den of iniquity   

So i've been punting about 20 years and while i've backed off a bit the last few years due to covid etc i've probably averaged 2-3 punts a month so the total will probably be around £40-£50K

Sounds horrendous when you add it up but I don't go out drinking every weekend which can easily suck up as much money as a punt and leave you feeling rough for a day afterwards (OK so we've all had a few punts like that too).
Some hobbies can also easily cost £2-£3K a year like golf once you include trips away with mates etc or owning a flash or classic car

At the end of the day you need to look at it as entertainment and accept that you normally need to pay for entertainment whether it's watching a film at the cinema or paying for Sky TV etc etc

I don't baulk at the £40-£50K i've spent on punting as i've probably wasted 2 or 3 times that amount in the same time frame on gambling 

[Stevelondon]

I’ve never added it up as I could never be arsed. But considerably more (by a long way) than 25K.

As others will tell you. The important thing is to spend what you can afford (as in most pastimes)
If a punter is getting into debt because of his playtimes. Then he needs to reconsider his lifestyle choices.

Couldn’t care less about what I’ve spent on buying sex. But my god I look back and think about the dosh I’ve spent on motors 😂

Hey…… it’s only money 😂

[Bond]

 I started punting just after I turned 40 and now I'm in my mid-fifties and I consider it the best decision I've made in my whole life.

[lillythesavage]

Now that is one expensive hobby, lost one in the Essex fires and just about to spend far too much recuing another, and paid over the odds for it because the owner would rather let it rot than take less than the figure they wanted, walked away 12 months ago, relented recently.

Punting is a walk in the park compared to having petrol and rust in your blood, and a hankering of days gone by 

[tp69]

If it makes you feel any better, I've had 43 punts this year. Almost all have been an hour, and the majority at £120 (a few were more than that but hey ho). Total year to date ~£5160.

24 of those sessions have been with regs. Think they owe me at least a dinner

Bloody hell, M.J.s, I kinda wish you hadn't done that! Working out the cost, I mean!

I started late in 2004; went through the "kid in a sweetshop" phase (at least 2 punts a week in the Massage Parlours of Manchester) before finding AW a couple of years later, and usually having one long (2 hrs minimum) punt a month with the MILFs on there. Oh; and the occasional - between a dozen & 20 over the years - Overnights. Not to mention a spell of a year or so when I was shelling out for fortnightly visits to a lass I had EAS for.

I kinda shudder at what my total over those years would be.

And yet, and yet; Mrs Home-Alone had pissed off with "my successor", so I wasn't going without sex. Which was the main reason for starting punting in the first place.

And apart from the EAS problem, I never ran the risk of getting into financial difficulties. And once the scales dropped from my eyes about Ms. E.A.S., I reined in my spending on punting and now, due to age and infirmity, rarely punt.

But there is a salutary lesson for novice punters in both your post and mine, especially if those novice punters have family responsibilities or just generally don't keep a check on their punting spending.

Does this post create for anyone else than me a vision of tp69 and his Regulars having a kinda A.G.M?

No? Okay then, I must be in a very flippant mood tonight!

[Colston36]

I started punting late in life (age 69) and so my outlay is going to be rather less than those of you who have been at it since your 30’s and 40’s. Pay only what you can afford and enjoy a guilt-free and no regrets hobby.

I started at 79. I calculate I've invested about £75,000 since then. Money well spent. Cost me infinitely less than my last catastrophic divorce,

[Jayj]

I haven’t kept detailed records for a long time, first 20 years or so I did keep a note, in total I’ve been paying for sex for over 40 years, everything from a cheap parlour quickie to a full time sugar daddy and to several escorts I’ve been a “boyfriend” how much, difficult to say exactly but probably just north of £300k for that I’ve seen around 700 different girls had thousands of sexual experiences across the globe, I tend to stick with same girls now rather than jumping one to another, I find best value at local parlours, plenty of diamonds still knocking about £50 for 30mins.

No plans on slowing hopefully tick off a 1000 different girls eventually probably spend half a million by time they put me in a box 😂

[MJ.spritzen]

Ah thanks guys, now I dont feel so gutted about it. Yh, I've been with some beautiful women and had lots of stories to share over the years.
I only started punting because I was in a sexless marriage in my 20s. Since then I've always punted whether I'm in a relationship or not. I feel no guilt about it. It's just something I do for me. Some people get a massage, their hair done or eyebrows threaded - I have girls bounce on my cock.

Don’t you just hate those virile men with cocks so stiff. Women can use them like a trampoline.

Here’s lil old me who has to put up with only sliding it in and out of pussy. 😂

[dexpunt]

After 15 years in a long distance relationship with a single mum I can confirm it is much cheaper to punt once or twice a week. Sure there is lots you miss from being in a loving relationship but having uncomplicated sex every week with a different young good looking chick makes up for it. As a previous person says just make sure you pick the right WG

Doesn’t putting the condom on make it go floppy?

OWO to completion, sat down, nothing strenuous, although even that’s been a while. 

[catweazle]

I used to keep notes on who,  where  when, good/bad/indifferent and cost.  Gave that  up  when I went to live in the USA.

For a comparison,  my golf club membership renewal has just come through: £776.  .....without any extra expenditure like equipment,  balls , etc. 

All hobbies cost money!

[JonasG]

I try not to think about this lol.

Been doing this 5 years and when I first started I was punting 2/3 times a week, now it's "just" once a week.

I'd love to know the number of different escorts I've fucked in this time, must be an insane number.

[Geko12]

Mate punting is good for your mental health, enjoy it and punt more, pussy and arse is life.

As long as you have a budget, able to enjoy other things too and it doesnt control your life, enjoy. LIFE IS SHORT!

 

[Thephoenix]

Don't drink, smoke or any other bad habits.
Punting is a good habit....if you can afford it.
....but it can still be a habit that's hard to give up, so like whiskey, it's a great servant but a bad master.
A little bit of what you fancy does you good my old grandma would say.
Enjoy while you can me Hearties.
Don't fret about how much you spend. Is there anything more enjoyable?

[B4bcock]

Don't drink, smoke or any other bad habits.

I gave up smoking many years ago when a tax hike put them up to around £4 per pack. If I was still smoking, I would be paying £10 to £12 per pack, which, at 20 cigs per day,  works out at £70 to £80 per week, or, in punting equivalent terms, one 30 minute meeting each week. I know which "vice" I prefer.

Youre lucky to get 2/3 in a week... not enough girls where Im based to my preference to punt that much or I would.

Can just about find a good punt every other week if i try hard enough.

[unclepokey]

20 years and £57k
I tend to prefer 2 hour appointments
So thats around £240 a punt which is what my regular charges currently for a monthly episode of joy to keep me sane.

That's when I first started and I wanted to sample every woman!

Before I knew about this site and not every punt was good of course but it was still kinda fun going in blind to punts without prior knowledge unlike now. Had a few typical mechanical shit punts etc.

[londonroad]

Great thread! Like others have said I look at how expensive other hobbies are. Punting is my retirement hobby and I am doing it while the body is still working. Yes it can become very expensive, especially for someone like myself who has switch to seeing sugar babies.
I do try and maintain a photo album of my ‘conquests’ and looking back at this I have bedded some absolutely stunning girls- girls who in my dating days I would never have tried to chat up.
Don’t be too hard on yourself OP - punting is a very enjoyable, satisfying and rewarding hobby. 😀

[MJ.spritzen]

That's an excellent idea, I think I may need to start doing this myself.

[Bhagat08]

I spent £1500 in 6 months one time with 50% of them being shit punts and I was devastated , now I have selected 2-3 girls and only go for them when they are available, punts have dried up but I never come out with a feeling of being ripped off.

[FlaccidChimp]

I've spent more than that in the past 7 years.

[bobby1973]

i've done on average £100 a week for the last 40 years
would not like to know exactly how much
but a hobby is a hobby 

[Simmo87]

£25K on punting is small change brother, I've got mates that have spent more on divorce solicitors.

At least you have spent 25k on getting fucked, not 25K getting fucked over!

[Bopcrown]

I'm an infrequent punter, but if I wasn't punting, I'd be spending it on beers.

Also Punting (For me) works out much less than dating civvies. Especially as I don't have to spend weeks wooing them, and we both know what we're there for. Rather than dancing around.

So about £24,500 (I think the Splat Bukakke was £50/£60).

Yes, it may seem a lot.  But you need to compare it with other things.  How much have you spent on takeaways, holidays, drinks, etc. over the same timespan?
