What have you gained from punting (besides sex, of course?)

[jcdmj12]

I've just been reviewing my spending over the past year on WGs, and although it's been a fair chunk of change (to me, anyway), overall I feel it was money well spent.

Besides having very entertaining sex with different women, on reflection:

1. Sex is a lot less important to me than it was as part of a relationship, as I know I can get it elsewhere easily. This has enabled me to focus on other parts of the my relationship without all the conflict, anger and resentment there was previously, which has really benefited things.
2. I used to get infatuated with girls really easily, which caused me a lot of trouble in the past. Now I know that I feel that way after pretty much every good sexual encounter, I don't get wound up about it any more, I just look forward to the next one.
3. Sort of related, but it's allowed me to completely separate sex/lust & love in my head.  Lust is just about chemistry, whereas love is something that takes a long, long time to build up (for me, at least)

What about you?

our needs

Physiologically we need : breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis, excretion

stress relief to some extent. some people like those bonzai trees, some like watching a shitty tv programme...I prefer a wet and dirty blowjob.

also a distraction. I work horrendous hours on my computer, and have ukp open in the background and when I can I pop off to a punt. Id lose my mind if I didnt do those things.

A better knowledge of london. Getting round in black cabs is fine but knowing where, how far etc and seeing new parts of the city through gash dashes is interesting.

[webpunter]

With the written word being the method of communication then deffo in general life this has made me better in communicating on emails & stuff
Not that my posts would suggest this !
Also not trying too hard to shag the OH - knowing that if no result in this dept, then i will simply make up for this on AW at some point

[AnthG]

The main positive for me is the ability to show to myself that I am a risk taker. That I have it in myself to do something crazy.

As say this as when you think of it on the grand scheme of things booking a prostitute and paying for sex is up there as one of the craziest things you can do in life and it takes a lot of courage to go through with it that first time.

I would put it on a par scale of abseiling off a large bridge or something.

I would put it as my are you a man or mouse type thing that you go through. So am pleased about this that I did it and did not chicken out that first punt or whatever

Another benefit is its helped with the forming of a better plenty of more fish in the sea attitude. As one of the things about punting is one girl leaves, others soon take her place. And this carries over to real life. So if you see a girl you fancy at work, or wherever and get nowhere. You kind of think, its not that big of a deal as there are plenty more fish in the sea.

A memory bank of actually doing things sexually beyond my wildest dreams, all for the price of a punt.

[Stiltskin]

Punting has improved my knowledge of several UK cities, London especially.

[threechilliman]

Pretty much all of the posts above apply to me. AnthG comes closest though. My first punt at the beginning of March was incredible. I was so fucking nervous. The WG I saw was superb, calming me down and within 5 mins I was licking her pussy. That day will stay with me for a very long time.

Bear in mind I only discovered AW in Feb and didn't even know what punting meant. Also thought escorts were girls you took out for dinner (yep, really).

Now I've fucked 19 girls, one of them 3 times. Beyond my wildest dreams. And some new friends made on UKP!

I'll drink to that

I was more than a bit rubbish with girls in my teens and early twenties, then I met my other half. There was a big part of me that felt I missed out, so for me it's about completing my bucket list and chalking up a reasonable tally of experiences - women are beautiful things after all.

Knowing I'll (hopefully) get to 80 odd years with no regrets and a filthy memory bank is kind of reassuring.

[hendrix]

Experiences I'll never forget.

[socks]

I agree with what others have said especially the making up for lost time bit - for some reason I shunned girls in my teens - and the doing of everything I can imagine with as many different women as possible. I love being able to reflect on the fact that I have to date, had sex with around 50 different women, 10 in their arseholes and have been sucked or wanked by even more!  I hope to grow that number too of course. And the range of things I've done, wow, it's fantastic!

There's also something about being true to myself. I have never understood the worldwide moral/legal objection to prostitution, nor do I see the 'sex is only for people who are married/in a relationship' perspective. I think sex is great and everyone should absolutely feel free to do more of it! In everyday reality though I can't live that philosophy but punting enables me to access it.

Smaller savings and investments 

But you only live once

[JR]

Smaller savings - agreed
Confidence/relaxed attitude
I was a virgin when I met my wife and was faithful until the decree absolute, now have been a 53 going on 20 yo serial shagger. Have been punting since Jan 2013 which also gave me confidence to explore other options, like online dating (NOT match but some of the more basic sites) and have come up trumps on that as well, don't think I would have had the success with that without the boost from some pretty good punts

Sounds good to me ,a couple of reviews from you would have been good , you missed nothing by not using match.com its shit.

Problem I feel is speeding time punting size 8 stunners then try to date a 40 something was never going to work for me.

happy punting

Hopefully this will take you to some mini-reviews I posted when I started on here

[Natwest]

I really wanted to stop watching porn. Punting has completely cured me.

[LL]

I gained the ability to last longer at sex.

[Matium]

Greater independence from women in the sense that when you're at a party and you've struck out, you can console yourself with the thought that for a few pounds, you can be having sex with a girl who's younger, fitter, healthier and prettier than any of the women who've spent the last few hours ignoring you.

Prosttution allows a man to say "sod you!" to civvy girls.

[jcdmj12]

+1 to that.  I occasionally watch porn, but my default is just to use my memory.

Yep, and there are no pockets in shrouds.

Agree 100%.  The FFM sessions I had with Blondies were defintely bucket list material.

It's an  Anglo-saxon/Protestant thing.  Both the Japanese and some European countries (France, Italy etc) have far more realistic attitudes about the different between committed relationships and sexual entertainment.

[JV547845]

Most importantly my life no longer revolves around sexual frustration but on topic my punctuality and male grooming have greatly improved.

[socks]

ooh just remembered - the selfie porn. Loads of it. I couldn't watch it all if I spent a whole day doing nothing but watch it. Which I haven't tried.

Yes, losing £2-3 for every minute you are late will have that effect.

Just hope that i can still be doing the same when i arrive at this age. Fingers crossed.  Respec   
Bollocks that this shows 'hi' / take my hat off is what i take it to mean
Not that you bother with a 'hat' anyways.  Neither would i @ 72

[webpunter]

Punting is about the only thing i'm not normally late for
Did have one punt where the motorway system defeated me
Fortunately the WG in question didn't have any other bookings that evening.  And comms were good
So i made up for being late - extended from 1hr to 1.5hrs booking - as a way of saying 'sorry'.  Plus she was as FAF with a 'twinkle' in her eye 
She then said that as a result i'd be her last booking that day as getting later [who cares if not true].  Ran over time in the end & had a memorable experience
I was just lucky that day ..

Exactly. After becoming a punter no woman can ever use sex as a weapon against you ever again. You know where to get it and you can get exactly what you want.

Ex-fucking-actly.  Hence my post as above [can't be arsed to do a double cut & paste]:
"Also not trying too hard to shag the OH - knowing that if no result in this dept, then i will simply make up for this on AW at some point"
The OH just thinks i'll be knocking-one-out.  Which is true.  Before sorting out a punt, sooner rather than later

[cockneybstrd]

Some interesting answers

For me its a strange one but in the main

More time... I like to fuck as many different women as possible. Without punting you tend to have to go through all the BS of chatting too them. Asking how they are etc etc and listening to problems etc.

Actually I like hats on my head, I wear them often. Thanks.

Let's face it, what this thread shows is that we are all addicts.

I can still remember having punted and gone home to the sexless marriage , thinking
I have been fed so go fuck yourself

Confidence oh and that in spite of what you hear some women do actually like fucking as much as men do.Oh and a few sexual experiences i would never have thought of trying when in committed relationships

+1 but make that "dozens of sexual experiences"

I've learned that because I'm a dirty fucker, the sort of women I click with sexually are usually somewhat troubled individuals who aren't really the sort of people you want to raise a family with.   WGs give me a way out of the dilemma of being sexually unfulfilled vs spending my life dodging flying crockery.

[webpunter]

WGs give me a way out of the dilemma of being sexually unfulfilled vs spending my life dodging flying crockery.

i'm thinking like quote of the week.  What a great analogy !

[Sparquin]

For me,

Greater confidence with women
The preservation of a sexually unfulfilling but otherwise satisfactory marriage versus a painful divorce
A better understanding of female sexuality
Odd though it may sound, I now have a greater respect for WGs and their life choices and desire to follow them
