Work mates admitting to punting

[Taggart]

One and the only one rule: do not tell anyone.

Today your mates at work - tomorrow enemies with a good ammo against you.

It will ruin your good reputation and if you are a single man - will put off women too.

And you are fucked because you are so stupid to tell you punt.

Agree 100%.  Also not good if managment get to hear, as it can be construed as misconduct and bringing the reputation of a company into disrepute.
No one, other than me (and forum members who was anon to each other) know I've paid for sex. That's how it will remain.

No point in telling co-workers that you punt; you may spend a lot of time with them, but how well do you really know them?

Precisely. Stuff like this should be on a 'need-to-know' basis. And, imo, colleagues never do.

Having said that, I was aware from remarks passed occasionally in the office where I last worked before retiring that some colleagues - mainly female - seemed to be aware of my little pastime.

And that was despite me never punting in the town where I both live and worked

Personally have no interest in work mates knowing I punt or discussing it with them , im single at the moment and would never get into a relationship with a work colleague anyway so dont have any of that to loose . But im only in my mid 20's and will be looking at being promoted in the coming years . Wouldn't want the potential for my reputation within the business to be ruined .Ive had a few colleagues tell me they have visited brothels  , they usually justify it as "going with mates " one of them even insisted he just sat in reception whilst his mate sought services . There are two workmates I suspect are regular punters one is single and lonely and the other is in an increasingly unhappy relationship . Both have alluded to visiting brothels either in the UK or overseas in the past , im not the sort of knob who would tell everyone that about them but I know some people at work who would spread it around 

Nobody apart from me and the Wg's I visit know I punt , and that is the way I would prefer to keep it . Nothing to be gained IMO from letting other people even long term friends know .  If I want to discuss it I can come here and do so anonymously .

Yes, I agree with the many members that have said in this thread: never, ever tell anyone.

[shagmore]

I told my girlfriend that I punted, but that was before I met her and have not do it since - 

[jordan452]

I agree I’m taking this filth to my grave no one needs to know.

[wheeliebinwanking]

Work 'mates' are a no no

The question is whether you can confide in real mates, I have a few I could tell but choose not to.

In terms of workmates, I remember leaving a work night out (meal and drinks) as I had a masseuse booked and I had gone FS with her and I was planning for that. I left at 10pm but I was getting ribbed for leaving early by all...until one guy said

"I bet he has a prostitute waiting for him in his hotel room" 

I just laughed it off and made my excuses but I think the chap who said it maybe a punter too He was also away on business

Why share? Unless you're in it for the numbers game there's no point.

[Spacecowb0y]

Shared punting with my oldest friend,and have even visited a brothel together. Fast forward 8 years and his bipolar is more frequent. I now regret sharing as he might inadvertently blurt something out.
My advice to anyone is to keep it quiet.

In essence, 'What others don't know won't hurt them.'

My job is pretty unconventional, and so is the punting side of it, we travel in groups of between 3-15 blokes to various hotels about a dozen times a year , sometimes for 1 night, sometimes for a week, we are from all over UK, mostly married, most with kids.  Its pretty stressful work so there is a lot of team bonding and because few of us meet up outisde of work, there is no need for secrets, as I have only met a couple of the guys wives over the years

Its bizarre in some hotels, before even checking in some of the guys that have been doing it for years will duck into the bar and get the barman to call some girls, so by the time we are checked and have a round at the bar, the girls are on their way

But the thing is I'm 1 of the guys who doesnt punt when at work, but probably the only 1 who punts regular when at home.  A colleague about a year ago did tell me about AW and mentioned he had been to Torture Garden, I acted all naive and never told him I have been on AW for about 10 years, and also on Fetlife for 7

Funny moment was when about a dozen of us booked a holiday together in US&A, one of the guys had a neice over studying close by, so invited her to meet us all, playing one of those "never have I ever" drinking games, she asked the question who has slept with a hooker , pretty much the whole room, she was gob smacked, we were all pissing our selves laughing

I always remember a member of this forum. not sure who but credit to you if you see this, said something along the following;

Is to treat punting as been a member of the Magic Circle, and here is the motto straight off Wikipedia of the Magic Circle

The motto of the society is the Latin indocilis privata loqui, roughly translated as "not apt to disclose secrets" (lit. "incapable [of] speaking [of] private [things]") ; members give their word not to wilfully disclose magic secrets other than to bona fide students of magic. Anyone breaking this or any other rule may be expelled.

On this forum, we are all bona fide students of punting 

[Health and Fitness]

There are two guys at my workplace who I know use adultwork and often brag about what escorts they see. What astonishes me is how they are so open about it, for me personally I wouldn't dare divulge that information to anyone, period.

Both guys have been slated by the women and other guys both in their face and behind their backs and I admit some of the comments made were quite harsh.

Best to keep quiet, there is no better option really.

[Jefferson of Rotherham]

When I lived down south before discovering the Joy's of punting, it was a work colleague that brought up punting and suggested I give it a try, never really had the nerve to do it but it was his such open and blasé attitude that made me take the first steps.

[SwenyTodd]

I'm surprised to here the type of person who has admitted who has admitted to paying for sex.  One guy is a senior manager in the workplace and surprised a lot of people.
It's not surprising to here friends on a night out opening discuss plans to pay for an escort if they don't pull a civvy.
As mentioned by others, you have to be careful who you discuss your hobby too (if you choose to).

[Doombar]

Punting is not a subject I'd discuss with anyone outside this forum.  If you discuss with workmates it will likely be used against you and affect your job.

Also advise that people don't use work computers or networks to look at UKP, AW, or any porn.  Most companies have IT systems that scan for use of such sites - they can tell which computer was used and who was logged on - and its usually a disciplinary matter if you get caught. 

[NI-Chancer]

One rule I've never broken is ' don't tell anybody!'.

Too much to lose, could well jepardise any future relationship if a Girlfriend found out.

Why would you tell anyone? There is no benefit to telling anyone, why would you?

[JonasG]

Quite a few workmates have admitted to it abroad.

I've only admitted to shagging whores abroad on holiday (Budapest, Berlin etc) Which is no biggie, most guys have.
 
But never to being a regular punter of escorts in the UK, which is different to admitting to it abroad when on holiday with mates.

[hrm69]

Find it baffling that anyone would divulge that kind of information to anyone. I’ve a couple of mates that I probably could tell but it wouldn’t be worth the risk. I suspect one senior colleague of punting due to some of the language he’s used at social events but I just keep my down when he mentions any of it.

My paranoia levels would stop me from doing it.

[hullad]

I have never told anyone my hobby and never will, yes I have close friends and maybe one or two would be amazed. It's not like watching football and discussing games the next day is it.

I do not know of anyone else who punts, no one in my circle has come out and admitted it over the years. The law of averages is that a large percentage of my friends and family will have visited a escort are! S one point. So a lot of people out there are keeping there secrets very secret.

[bugsybum]

If you tell someone make sure you have some dirt on them.  To be honest people are twats not worth the risk.

[chadwingard]

I have no care factor and freely talk about my punting habits to any male co worker who will listen,  except Greg because he is a twat.

I don't tell the female co workers for fears of sexual harassment, except Sherri who gets off on my stories.

WTF bullshit is this 
I see you were called out on a thread you started last November for being a troll, clearly you still are

[figleaf]

After a while I think work mates start to put 2 and 2 together.

I’m quite discrete, but people must have noticed the lunchtimes away coming back freshly showered.

And the punting mobile phone on the desk.

And that time I got pissed and was spotted stumbling around soho

And the time they caught a glimpse of AW on my phone.

It’s easier to keep it from the wife or girlfriend to be honest as you spend so much time in close proximity at work
