I had my first punt at 21..... still not 100% sure if I did it too soon or not.
However now I'm in my mid 20's and not too capable of meeting girls due to my work being night shifts. In all honesty when I actually meet girls I hardly struggle, but atm I'm not, so punting fills the gap.... plus it's a rather fun hobby.
If I got a new job I aim to get near my mates I'd prob quit overnight unless I hadn't pulled in a year or two. Basically don't start punting just because you haven't had a shag in a while. Nor would I recommend it if you're a virgin.
