How long have I been punting?
Just under 4 years
Why did I start?
In my mid 20’s I realised I didn’t want to be in a relationship.
There’s nothing wrong with people who do, but for me, I’m happier without.
Therefore getting laid depended on pulling on a night out, or casual sex with a friend of a friend.
This however, would only happen every few months, so I needed something more “secure”
One afternoon I made my first booking for later that night, and never looked back.
Highpoints
The fact I can indulge in any sexual fantasy with a woman who’d never look twice at me.
The fact I can shag a complete stranger within an hour.
The excitement of heading towards the door.
What are my rules for anyone new to punting?
Be clean
Be polite (manners go a long way)
Have the correct amount of money
Do your research before a punt (Search the girl here)
Only spend what you can afford (I put money aside so that is “spare” money)
If you get addicted, take a step back and re-assess the situation
What have I learnt about myself?
For one, I’ve noticed my sex drive has lowered since starting.
This is actually a good thing.
Before punting, sex was on my mind 24/7, the only way I could get it was to pull on a night out or use tinder. I’m very upfront with women, so when I’m asked about my intentions, I’m very clear about them. Sometimes they’re happy with that, other times they thank me for being honest, and move on. Point is, I was only getting laid every few months.
When I discovered punting however it was like I’d discovered magic. Suddenly I’m able to fuck any kind of women and act out any sexual desire. This lead to getting slightly addicted. I’d basically spend all my spare money on it. So, I had a honest chat with myself, took a step back and reassessed. By that I mean, I started to put aside money each month. That and ONLY that money was used for punting.
So I’ve gone from having sex a few times a year, to being able to have sex with a different women each week, if I wanted. Therefore because I know i CAN have sex, my drive isn’t urgent. It’s more of a casual “I fancy having a shag tonight, I’ll make a booking” feeling.
It’s also done wonders for understanding who I am and what I want. I’m genuinely happy being single. I have a good social circle, decent job, lots of hobbies and interests and generally my life works better being single.
But before punting, I feel subconsciously I would have “settled down” just to fulfil my sexual needs. Which is ironic, considering “dead bedrooms” is usually linked to long term relationships
Overall?
Punting has opened up a brand new world to be.
Be safe, and have fun!
