If you have an O/H,which many punters do, that's exactly what you want,you can get the kissing and banter etc. at home.
I like a bit of kissing and banter during a punt, but personally I'd rather do it more as something to do as a pleasant kind of thing between rounds...
But last thing I personally want is a lengthy conversation with a prossie, as I can indeed get that at home from the missus, but getting along with a prossie, being able to talk in a fun and flirty way, and maybe even find some common interests, is certainly something I think can often contribute to what constitutes a good punt. A good bit of kissing, a good bit of flirting and banter, a good bit of foreplay/oral sex, and a good bit of sex, then I've had a great punt... Sounds like the OP had three out of four of those key components. That's much better than what you might get with some prossies, but not what I would personally call the complete package for a good time. If I spent 90 minutes in a room with a prossie and the corresponding cash and didn't actually fuck her, I would be kicking myself. But that's just me.
Preferences and likes/dislikes vary though. I mean, of course they do, I would assume that goes without saying. But, personally, I don't actually necessarily even see it as a "he should have lead an escort that needs leading" kind of thing. As some punters are, well, shy, or are less or more experienced, and prefer not to or just don't know how to lead... But then again, in that kind of circumstance a certain onus is one him to pick the right kind of prossie to suit him.
Like I said earlier, it really is down to him to decide whether he thinks he got what he wanted or was expecting. As has been said a good few times, OP could man up, come to a conclusion, write a review, and we can read it and decide if we agree. Certain details being provided by him would help us in making conclusions. It could even lead to offering, what is probably an inexperienced punter, some useful advice that could help him get more what he wants from future punts. Part of the beauty of the review system here IMO. Something tells me that is unlikely to happen though, as OP seems to have gone very quiet, and that and the general conclusion from most posters here speaks for itself.
