I'm currently without punting for two months and I'm doing good so far.
I've had thoughts about it, but taking a step back has let me see the hobby a little differently. Looking at UK Punting and seeing the same London girls spoken about all the time, it just seems a little boring.
The London scene suddenly doesn't look as appealing for those that are not part of the very wealthy group of punters, with price increases:
Cindy now £140 previously £120, Laryssa now £150 previously £120, Hazel now £150 previously £130, LillyHart £140 previously £130, Emily Creme Brule £160 previously £150, and much lower previously say some punters who have PM'd me previously.
And the best girls constantly being booked in advance. It all seemed like too much effort to see the best girls, and too much money for quick fix gratification, and the guilt of making girls who don't care about me very rich, while I go on the slippery slope to mild addiction and being broke from this hobby. Instead I'm spending money on things that last years, and make me happy. Hell, I will now have money to go on holiday. I may return to punting, in fact I'm sure I will, but right now, I'm happy.
