Addicted Or Not

If your punting 4 to 5 times a week do that mean you have a problem or not ??

If your punting 4 to 5 times a week do that mean you have a problem or not ??

If you are punting within your limits, physically, mentally (EAS) and financially, then no problem 

[cueball]

If your punting 4 to 5 times a week do that mean you have a problem or not ??

Yes, you've too much money...

On a serious note, are you 4 to 5 punts per week with the same pro$$ie?

[Jimmyredcab]

If your punting 4 to 5 times a week do that mean you have a problem or not ??

Yes, absolutely, you need help----- and I am being serious.   

[NIK]

Indeed!
Even in my hey day I was never at this unhealthy level.Couldn't afford it for a start.

There was a time when I was punting maybe once a fortnight, but it was more usually once a month. I think that's probably enough. I'd probably average 20 to 25 punts a year. Now I'm back down to three or four a year as it was when I started.

[cueball]

 usually once a month. I think that's probably enough.

Oh, is 4 times a month a problem then, oh, but, oh, err, but, aahh, different girls don't count do they, aaahh, Pheew, yes, it's only a problem if it's with the same girl, gawd, I'm good to go

Whether you have a problem or not only you know, if you can afford it and aren't spending it on WGs hoping for a relationship then why not. Do what suits you is my advice.

[DG]

Since I started punting last summer I was averaging one a month, just before Christmas I got a load of overtime pay and saw three girls in about 10 days. I missed a month due to ill health but have had three punts in as many weeks. I'm now forcing myself to go cold turkey until the end of the month before I bankrupt myself. Hope I've got enough will power.

[Jimmyredcab]

Indeed!

Even in my street punting days back in the eighties I would only pick up one girl each week  ---------- anyone punting 4-5 times a week should seek counselling before they end up skint.

You must have a lot of spare cash?

[Pauli]

Thanks.  Averaging about £500  per week but mostly different girls

At least there is one thing, while you're averaging 500 quid a week on different girl we're in for a bonanza of reviews

[Goofy85]

Plenty of people punt 4-5 times per week on here. No matter what they say, they are addicted. Or have serious money to burn.

I used to punt about 3 times per month. But I've currently stopped entirely. It makes me happy that I am not making girls rich while I become poor and unable to save. Currently been a month without punting. And it feels good so far. I haven't ruled out a return, although to be honest I wish I never discovered punting.

[threechilliman]

My aim for this year is 3 a month instead of 4 last year. So far, so good...

But I've currently stopped entirely. It makes me happy that I am not making girls rich while I become poor and unable to save. Currently been a month without punting. And it feels good so far. I haven't ruled out a return, although to be honest I wish I never discovered punting.

Sounds like me, but with cigarettes. Having gone almost 12 months without, I had a relapse before Xmas and haven't completely managed to stop again

[cueball]

That's my target, only one off, I'm at 4 per month at the moment

[Horizontal pleasures]

I punt maybe twice every 3 weeks, sometimes every week, sometimes like summer hols with family cannot get free time, but this is for over 50 years, with some occasional breaks when overseas or depending upon work, yes I am addicted, certainly addicted, no doubt addicted. The internet has made it worse.

When younger of course some successes with civvies but it was like punting in many ways, it was like having a regular for a while, it was part of the addiction.

It is not a target, it just happens on the days when I travel for work or when the missus HP is out all day and I can slope off .... and when my target ladies bother to reply to emails.

Same here, it's been about 7 weeks since my last punt, been killing the urge with jerking off to porn and keeping busy. I need to save and find a better job. I will punt again soon, but no impulse last minute punts like I use to do before. Hopefully I'll plan my punts carefully and have a better success rate.

In that case take Zyban to stop smoking. It will also kill your sex drive. Both solved.

It depends on whether that is a disposable income level for you. A year or so ago I was punting one-three times a week. It ran out of control and beyond what I could afford. I took control, relished I was addicted and went to SAA (Sex Addicts Annonymous)

It worked, I'm back in control now. Still punting but around once a month.

[Quesadilla]

For sex addictions there is no definition or agreement about what qualifies someone as addicted (in fact there's still some dispute in psychological circles as to whether sex addiction even exists). But for those that agree it's real - the nearest I could find to a definition is - you are addicted when the behaviour starts to cause you problems financially, or in your work or relationships.  So nobody can really say if you're addicted except you - only you can decide if it's causing problems.

[west8]

If your punting 4 to 5 times a week do that mean you have a problem or not ??

Yes, a big problem. Two free days without sex ... 

[itk]

I would say you are addicted. I started off that way, 3-4 punts a week although back then I had more disposable income and no-one at home to get away from. I'd say I'm still addicted myself, looking for more punts daily, but it's more difficult to get the time to see them.

[yorkshire123]

If your punting 4 to 5 times a week do that mean you have a problem or not ??

If you started punting quite recently then no you don't have a problem its the fat kid in a sweet shop syndrome.

[CBPaul]

If you can handle punting that often OP and you are not wrecking your finances then no great problem. If you are new to punting then it will probably calm down.... eventually.

If you want to see if you are addicted try going a week or so without, if you can't stay away from all things punting then you may well have a problem.

[GreyDave]

 
Cash is the reason most of us dont punt every day or so

When I worked in London I would do the walk ups, one month I remember doing 10 quid plus a tip every lunch time
Now I am just not up to it I was doing a day trip to do them on Saturdays but find it to knackering ( I reckon I am turning into a one pop guy  ) I did get worried when I saw one girl India Anita of sweet surprise more than 10 times ( another one of steve`s tips ) but was soon put back on the variety track by a vist to the Daganham Spa...

Yes this is addictive.

[RNinePunter]

Once a week is probably the borderline in my opinion, 2 is fair per month if you got the dough.

I try to limit it to once a month but when I have a shit punt, which is quite often around my area.. I tend to get annoyed and have another go straight away. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it is a double-whammy train wreck of crap punts and splashing money into the sea when I could have probably had a better time with less effort having a toss that night.

[taplow]

It's about money and time.  When I've been to Thailand or the Philippines I've done it every night because it's cheap and there's nothing else occupying my time. Here I do it every two  or three weeks or so. So, without any restraints I probably wouldn't stop. 

[LL]

As I seem to remember writing in my last review. I've had 3 punts in 14 days. That's overdoing it for me personally. Especially the last one - I didn't even have the urge to do it or the money. But the opportunity presented itself. Well it did after I ditched the friends whom I had planned to spend that evening with in favour if a punt. Yes I feel like I'm starting to have a problem and I'm trying to slow down a bit.
Also when trying to reduce my punting frequency in the past I would have massages with HE between punts as I still craved female attention and I felt that a massage wouldn't "count".  This is bullshit though. It's the same as a punt in terms of fuelling the habit and forming an addiction. Not only that but it tends to leave me frustrated at the end and wanting more. I would need a punt shortly afterwards (within a few days) to satisfy the urge.

If I can get back to doing it just once a month then I will be able to enjoy punting again along with other things in my life. I would be able to do it without making sacrifices and missing out on more important stuff.

[captainavenger]

I started to become addicted, it was starting to become once a week in January, told myself I need to stop, haven't seen one since January 19th. The struggle is hard

[Malvolio]

I'd say if you're spending money you can't really afford then you're addicted.  If you're spending money just to see the same woman over again then you have an emotional addiction and you have to stop.

[Boundless]

It would be an impossibility where I live, unless you wanted to see the same mooses day after day.

[DeWallenFan]

If you are punting within your limits, physically, mentally (EAS) and financially, then no problem 

Spot on 

[DG]

I disagree with your second point. I see the same girl over and over again because when I see other girls they don't deliver what she does. In this case familiarity means she really knows what I like and she raises the bar every meet. I've seen her 8 times so far and it still gets better every time. When that stops I'll move on.

[jamesian]

I am more into FBSM these days and typically aim for 1 per month in the North West plus 1-2 extra if I'm travelling.
Confess I thought I had a problem about 10 years ago when I was punting 8-10 times a month.
Stopped entirely for about 6 months and then moved more to the FBSM scene which I prefer these days.
Occasionally hanker after a good shag, which I go for if I'm abroad, but most FBSM ladies I see only do HE and to be fair I am comfortable with that.

+1 - my main reg I've seen about 7 times now and rebook her almost as soon as I've seen her - she also in my view delivers a different class of service and every session we manage to find new territory to explore. 

I'm not remotely attached to her as I know she delivers exactly the same high quality service to lots of her other regs from their rather detailed reviews.  If I had EAS I'd be jealous - as it is I take inspiration from the reviews of others - they give me ideas about things to try with her for myself.

If your punting 4 to 5 times a week do that mean you have a problem or not ??

If I had the money I would. I've been desperately trying to go through my hotlist and only lack of funds stop me doing so.

[robs one]

your obviously retired with a big pension as not only would I not be happy blowing that much per week I wouldn't have the bloody time. I do think you obviously have a problem and can only see grief ahead or a heat attack unless you calm it down.

[Punting Valley]

I usually punt once a month but I have been pushing my budget lately Totally worth it though. If I have the funds I will be doing it twice daily

The above, like the recent post by another punter about the 'street scene' is why I enjoy reading this forum.

Many of us are or have been borderline punting addicts at one time or another, but the difference between you, LL, and 99% of other posters, is that you're man enough to admit it sometimes dictates how you live your life.

Choosing a punt over friends is a classic symptom.

[Malvolio]

But you're seeing other girls along with your favourite - that's not what I meant by seeing the same girl over and over again.

[Herges Adventures]

With zero reviews submitted, yes 

[Deepstroker]

It isnt for me to say if someone else has a problem .Thats for them to realise.

It may be that someone can afford to pay a different prossie £150 per hour every night of the week and not bat an eyelid.

For Mr average though, id say that 4 or 5 times a week is way too much. Even if it can be afforded financially, psychologically i think it would be doing as much harm as glue sniffing or cannabis.

I have got that way now that i feel i have all but had my fill of women and why would i pay £150 for something i can do with my left hand? Its just a bodily function/response. Orgasm> chemical hit to the brain> feel good..

Seriously? Having a wank is as good as fucking a woman? Mate, for me having a wank is like eating a limp salad when you're are starving but what you really want is a huge juicy stake. I've been fucking women since I was a teenager and I still think I haven't had my fill yet. I'm a greedy bastard I suppose.

Seems to be a bit of a common theme here. A lot of us usually punt once a month, but every now and again we endulge ourselves, like I did recently punting three times in 14 days. Inevitably it's cash that curbs our enthusiasm rather than our sexual desire.  I'm going cold turkey just now following my bonanza at the start of the month. It's hard as hell but I booked a two hour session at the end of the month, thereby deterring me from delving into my punting fund in the meantime.

PS. My resolve did crack last weekend, but I managed to arrange a £30 half hour punt with a girl who 'owed me' after a previously disappointing punt. Yeah I was surprised too that she honoured her commitment to make it up to me! Good girl.

+ 1 - wasted a lot of my youth wanking it is just totally unsatisfying and not remotely comparable.

I hear you and i agree,it is preferable to strip and fuck a woman than to have a wank but for me, the gap between the two has narrowed so that i cant be bothered pursuing women let alone paying them so i just get what i can for free and if i need a toss then i just have one. I could browse almost all the women on AW and for the past few years i have yet to find one that would provide sufficient motivation to go and shag her.

Thats not to say it would never happen again,,its just that they have all just morphed into the same thing.

[Malvolio]

If you're no longer bothered to shag prossies, I would question why you're bothering with this forum.

I have a feeling James999 would beg to differ with you on that! 

[LL]

I wouldn't. It's up to him surely 
We have several active members who claim to be retired from punting, though some return to it. The forum founder Nik hardly ever punts now I believe.
