Punting in 1990's

[CoolTiger]

In the midlands, Phoenix and Jazabelle Magazines for direct contacts (bonus if a pic was also shown). Also the local rag had adverts for massage parlours.

Rendezvous Magazine was a no-go, as you had to have a private box number in order to get the replies!!!

Oh, and as someone mentioned, you were usually directed to a red box pay phone, for further instructions, or to be given the address, once you confirmed to her what the number
was of the payphone.

Not a no go for me CT, I had an accommadation address for many years where I also got my porn vids sent to, for about £15 a quarter this worked well for me.

The dark ages punters these days dont know how lucky they are.

I laugh to myself when I read comments like that.

I think it's as hard going as it's ever been. AW gets all the attention, but it's saturated with fakes and con artists.

Finding suitable girls is very difficult, especially if you're in a back water area.

Memories of Norwich in the 90s!

Carol in the daytime on Rouen Rd, we did it in the church porch, by the river on top of the car park, at my house...all over! also brummy dolly daytimes.

evening, yes blonde sharon, various encounters on Ber st/king St ( once hopped over the wall into the convent garden with a very friendly girl!), behind the caravans..

There was a woman with a red car, usually weekends, who would pick you up and drive to a quiet place for the most amazing blow job.

I remember feeling pretty guilty about it at the time, but looking back with maybe a touch of the rose-tinted, it seems a much freer and more innocent time

My punting hobby kicked off in the 90's, either from the Sunday Sport or phone box cards in London, back then a punter needed change for the phone box or a BT card, a London A to Z and notebook to write down ladies address and details. A couple of hookers I remember from Marylebone was the Ex nun who was featured in the News of the World, she turned her back on God to shag punters for 40 quid, and a sexy and very busty black lady who worked from a flat in Ivor place, massive real tits, only saw her once, but what a woman!

In 1990 I was 4 years old. Just couldn't find the right excuse to get out for a punt.

[hw189]

First punt for me was late 90's, when mobiles were widely available but Internet was still in its dawn (dial-up 56k internet and hardly any prossie sites around). Local free rag in the back pages 'massage' section where I found my first. 

[vw]

Mine was a slow learning curve, used to walk through Liverpool RLD and get asked "Do you want business" loads of times If someone caught the eye it was yes then get off main road ASAP. Had sex in bushes, church yards, doorways, Liverpool cathedral, alleyways, pub gardens. Wouldn't do this now but was young and dumb. Got stopped a few times by police, just pulled my medical school ID out, just finished and walking home.  More often than not got a lift.

The thrill of the above was addictive, better than the sex.

Progressed then to the Sport newspaper and called a few, not many local so often collected numbers from a few editions and got the train to Crewe or Manchester. This worked out well but travel was a pain.

Next lesson was local papers have adverts so no need to travel, of risk the streets any more. Had a few good outcalls then the 90's were over.

You don't have to live in a punting desert to experience problems with Adultwork, 95% of the profiles are absolutely useless, either fakes, scams or headless photos.   

Little wonder that Michelle Independent has over 50 positive reviews, she is like a rose in a bed of thorns.

Many years back I picked up one of the fittest black girls I've seen off that very corner. She was standing out there in a red pvc coat and black pvc thigh boots

Many pleasant memories of that churchyard

I think I know who you mean I think she was usually parked near carrow hill?

I had a drive round the old haunts a while back,how things have changed 

[norfolk tiger]

Was the house on Sprowston Road? I found a house there through a phone number in the Sport, had an absolute stunner there called Becky.

Was that the large detached house that had the security cameras out front?

[norfolk tiger]

Phillips, did you punt often in the 90's around there then? I still remember seeing the usual suspects most nights, some bloke always made us laugh as he was the spitting image of Peter Sutcliffe, drove a white Ford Granada. Always saw a bloke who gave a nod in a white Fiat Uno with painting gear in it, and a young bloke in a Sierra XR4 who many WG's said was a bit creepy.
Remember Sunday nights becoming really busy along Ber Street after midnight when I think an oriental gambling event took place opposite the BMW garage.

You could also spot the undercover vice cars as well a grey 3 series BMW is one I recall and the not so subtle transit with blue lights and vice squad across the back doors

We may have had the same WG, remember very similar, if not the very same standing there in the same sort of gear. She always had PVC thigh highs on, they said they were sisters, one was called Lisa and the other I can't remember her name. (Nicknamed her Milky) She was Nottingham and had huge tits. Just down that road was a longer alley leading to some office block where I fucked her standing up.

[anchorage]

I worked for a few years in the Bayswater/Notting Hill/Edware Rd area; absolutely swarming with places. Some of the large blocks of flats (Park West Place?) had loads of WGs there, including some incredible Asians.

Sources of info were the cards in telephone boxes, plastered from ceiling to floor. There used to be five or six boxes in a row at the Marble Arch end of Edgware Rd, all full of cards. But, really, they were pretty much everywhere with gangs of blokes going round putting new ones in and taking their competitors' cards down.

The cards pretty much put it all in your face and probably actually got me started.

Also, there was a weekly mag called "What's on in London" through which I had some good success. 3 or 4 pages at the back with ads. So, all was good for that part of London.

In the suburbs, you had the local free papers. Also a good source of information.

What's On has vanished and so have the ads in the locals - bit of a shame.

[itk]

No, it was a mid-terraced house. Can still remember the number, 108. She was probably the first WG where I had GFE, the service was loads better from her than the usual rush job back then.

I can remember the girls I think you mean and if so I had them both as well  the girl I mentioned I only ever found a couple of times one of which was her coming out of the station main entrance in her full outfit

That house number sounds familiar did there used to be a Spanish girl there? And not the Romanian Spanish you get today 

[Tiger63]

Dont let this thread die fellas, this is great.
There used to be a night club in South Shields that some wgs would go to.... supposed to have the prices on the soles of their shoes.
Guarantee you were down the "clap clinic" within the week.

For me, the 90's was Parlour Time. We'd (married, then) just moved to Hertfordshire, didn't know anyone, and at least once a month I had to go back to North London to pick up a bit of smoking gear. Always took the opportunity to visit one of three parlours, Crouch End, Hornsey Road and a much more dilapidated one in Wood Green. Only went there once though.

£10 for an assisted bath and a massage, anything from £20 to £50 in the room for HJ, OW/HJ or full service. Saw loads of different girls at the time, I mean, loads. Don't remember any of them except two. One called Charlotte, big, busty, curly Blonde and TALL. Built like a brick shithouse and getting a tit-wank off her was really having a tit-wank. That was her favourite, she loved having her tits spunked on, she admitted to me after the fourth or fifth time. The other one I can see her face, but can't for the life of me remember her name. I'm lying on the massage table, she's been wanking me slowly in the bath, I've got a raging hard-on and she says, 'Do you mind if I suck it? Without waiting for an answer, she's gone straight down and given me my first ever OWO from a WG. Shock. Horror. Surprise. Delight. After a while, she put a condom on me and I fucked her like she was going to be my last ever fuck.

Walking out was always the worst part. Sated, hormone levels back to normal, always a collar-up-head-down sort of feeling. Especially in such densely populated streets.

Vaguely remember a Spanish girl, never saw her though as I stuck with Becky from there.

There were always WG's at the road by the station, (Lower Clarance Rd I think) We would drive the usual roads, Ber St, Rouen Rd, King St and Carrow Hill then try Lower Clarance to see what was about. Remember one evening tried for ages to try see one girl who was stunning but wouldn't see us (was myself and 2 mates). Others down there seemed drug-addled skanks and seemed to congregate around a house at the far end. One mate shagged one in a garden shed down there.

I lost my punting virginity on Lower Clarence road

There was a woman with a red car, usually weekends, who would pick you up and drive to a quiet place for the most amazing blow job.

I can't remember her, but can you remember a girl back then called Jade, had a front gold tooth? Petite little thing, dark hair, small tits which had a tattoo of a cannabis leaf on one tit. Was a great fuck for £20 but always charged an £10 for positions and £10 for her completely naked. Saw her loads of times, she even gave me her own address in Lowestoft where I'd pop around. Drove a Susuki Swift and also a blue Rover 220. Remember seeing her once with two mates, we met her in her car and I was pissed and couldn't cum, she spent about 45 minutes trying to make me cum, she said she felt she hadn't provided a service if I hadn't cum. 

[Roof97]

ITK your description of Jade reminds me of the girl in the red car, Rose, brown hair and I remember a similar tattoo ....maybe a suzy swift before the maestro... but she was BJ only and limited touching, at least with me, so likely someone different.

God I  had forgot Lower Clarence Rd, Big cathy out one night in the cold and frost, me on my bike... I never could bring myself to have sex with her, availed of her other services. Nice woman though.

You'd get occasional visiting girls staying in the cheap hotels between lower Clarence and thorpe Rd, had a couple of not very good experiences there,
plus one long-time working woman in a ground floor flat there, nice body and bj/fs for £30 -40, pleasant enough but a bit abstract.

I checked back on the blocks of flats I mentioned before and it is indeed Park West Place just off the Edgware Road. Absolutely full of WGs (this was all around 1992-95). Many times I would be going to one flat and passed others which were obviously doing the same thing. Some would leave their doors ajar. Lots of Asian girls at that time, but not exclusively of course.

Another thing I remember is heading down Queensway to a prearranged punt. Ahead of me, an elderly guy turned to go into one of the mansion blocks and a middle aged lady, standing on the steps, greeted him. As I got close, she turned to me and said, "Are you coming in too, dear?" Must have been a party. Anyway, wish I had accepted the offer as the girl I ended up meeting was useless.

Then, on another occasion, I emerged from one of the telephone boxes, hailed a cab and the driver just said, "Where did she tell you to go?" Don't you just love discretion.

But, that whole area was a total honey pot; easy access to Paddington, Sussex Gardens, Oxford Street. Goodness; totally spoilt for choice.

Yes I remember Park West Place, full of hookers, many Asian as you say, advertised as Malay, Japanese but most where Thai.

[bobbles1945]

I do recall being propositioned once by a woman on the street in Soho in the 1990s(she looked like an amateur), several times have been offered drugs or girls by dodgy characters but I guess with so many walk-ups both in Soho and in Shepherds market there was little need for on street solicitation.

 There was a bit of action around Kings Cross but pretty skanky (famously Sir Alan Green the DPP was cautioned in 1991)for kerb crawling on York Way- External Link/Members Only) and now there id nothing doing around Kings Cross but I was surprised to hear that in other parts of London there is still a street scene even today(https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=2399.50)  As this thread attests there was a street scene in the 1990s in other towns too.

What also seems to have changed since the late ‘90s is the London Sauna scene-my impression is that there are many fewer places offering Sauna and massage(where you could get FS) than there were back in the day and those that survived have far fewer girls-so Euston Sauna when it closed recently only had two girls working  and Exclusive in Judd Street in its heyday would have seven but now only one or two .Is it the same story outside the capital? Has the internet killed the Sauna scene?

However (also my impression) with the advent of oriental massage places maybe the massage places offering extras are on the rise again-how many are rub’n’tug and how many offer FS is not clear but I intend to find out. How is it outside London?

[anchorage]

I always thought that Soho was pretty grim; clip joints, crack whores and the walk-ups. Perfect rip-off zone for tourists, though.

Of course, it did also boast Les Girls.....

[JasonP]

I know I am digressing from this thread but the mention of Soho has brought back the fond memories of the place in the sixties. The strip clubs with tiny stages and the girls doing the rounds from club to club. Stripping off to a bit of music and then standing still when naked till the curtain closed as there was some law that allowed nudity but only if the girl stood still. We used to spend a good hour or so then off to the walk-ups to visit the " model " who was invariably past her prime and charged " it'll be two pound five shillings with rubber dear ". There must have been clip joints but we never noticed them. Good Times. Well Iit seemed to be at the time.

Giving this a bump.

Any more Norwich memories or strange places?

Whittlingham Lane, Carrow hill, even in a residential street getting a BJ in the front of a car have popped into mind!

Dragging up an old thread as I’ve just got back from Norwich and decided to drive the old routes. Not surprisingly there wasn’t one WG there, not that I’d risk picking one up nowadays but we to see how it’s all changed. Some of the roads are now pedestrianised, great thinking back to the good old days of finding an easy punt.

[Home Alone]

What's that phrase - from the book/film 'The Go-between' - something like "The past is another country; they do things differently there."?

I didn't need to punt in the mid-90s - the OH hadn't 'disconnected the supply' back then - but doubt if I'd have had to have the balls to risk a SW back then. I was nervous enough driving round Manchester in December 2004 looking for one of the Parlours that advertised in the back pages of the Evening News so I could make my debut, so to speak.

Thanks yo irk for finding this thread.

Deleted; hadn't realised that, so long after posting the previous post, I could modify it - to add thanks, in this case.
