Punting young......Is it ok?

[mystery7]

I don't know about everyone else on here, but I found punting in my early 30s. (32 to be exact)
It was perfect, I was attracted to girls in there early 20s but didn't want to date girls that age. Mainly due to not having a great deal in common with the few I dated.

Yet with punting I could have all the fun of sleeping with hot younger girls, without having a relationship.

Its all still going well and I enjoy almost all my punts. But something got me thinking recently. How young is too young to start punting?

When I grew up porn was scarce and if we wanted sex we had to just ask out girls we liked. No bullshit games, social dynamics etc. Just start hanging out with a girl, ask her out and if you were lucky she'd be your girlfriend (and you'd get regular sex......eventually)

I had lots of girlfriends when I was younger, as I as well a many others didn't have a choice (pre internet porn, pre adultworks, uk punting etc) And turned to punting for the reasons stated above.

What I'm getting at is should our younger members 18 to 30, just get out there and get as much free sex they can while there still young? Has easy access to internet porn lowered the amount of young men (and women) going out and seeking real relationships
And has easy access to any girl they want dulled there desire to make any effort anymore?

I know this is not a black and white subject, but I can't imagine starting that young.

I also work with a lot of young guys and they say datings hard now due to higher expectations (financially, physically and due to male and female roles being blurred beyond recognition) from women. And there good looking guys, as I'm sure a lot of guys who punt are.

I think you should dig in while your young and save punting for later. Your thoughts............

[xsw21]

100% agree!

Up to the individual of course but my advice is punt and pull. What punting is unlikely to offer is for a person to find the "one" for them. If they have no interest in finding someone special fair enough though.

I started punting at 19 and have always punted through relationships or not in a relationship. No idea why porn was scarce when you were younger, i am 49 and had access to porn first through mags then videos from when i was a teenager.

The net has certainly changed things for some people, i just wish i had access to the free porn now available, i would of saved many thousands of pounds. For some porn can give then unrealistic expectations of what a girlfriend could be like. Not all want to swallow spunk, rim and be pissed on of course.

[Jvosta]

I'm 25 so relatively young,  only started punting regularly in the past 2/3 months or so...

Never needed to during University, now however working life and other hobbies leave little time for the dating game.

I really cannot be bothered to go to bars/clubs to pull whereas a punt is guaranteed...

Put it this way. Next Saturday I can either go to a club to possibly get laid OR I can book and definitely get laid. Either way I'm still spending money so it's not free sex is it

And in regards to finding "the one" apparently you don't find when your looking, it just happens .....so in the meantime, I'll keep punting

100% agree with that. 

[Jvosta]

Punting however doesn't really satisfy emotional need. IMO sex is better when the girl likes you not your money.

Can't have it all.....and who needs emotional connection anyway....eh....vorian.

I meant there wasn't the huge amount of anything you want for free. Seems you can have anything at the click of a mouse now, not like the old porn mag/vhs days.

I think if punting and porn weren't available people would up there game significantly. When you see guys that are amazing with women, and can seemingly get anyone they want (and there not always attractive) have bypassed the dependence on porn/punting etc and worked hard on learning to attract women.

Just a personal view though, were all different and have different responsibilities and priorities. I'm just glad I had a great time trying it on with every girl I liked when I was younger, it was more difficult than clicking a mouse, but ultimately more rewarding. And more importantly still serves m to this day..................Between punts that is

[xsw21]

Yessir I am, I’m 30…

I only punt when I’m single and if I had to choose between fucking a regular gf or an escort, I would choose the gf. Punting is not a replacement for civilian women for me; it’s a fill in for the time being until I meet the next girl I wanna make my gf. I much prefer sex when there is a connection and I really miss that when I fuck an escort. When I fuck my gf… I can fuck her, then chat, cuddle or whatever. When I fuck an escort… we fuck, I cum, times up, get the fuck out. Too cold for me and I much prefer sex in a relationship.

When you get older gentlemen, you may find you punt because there comes a time when being in a  relationship does not automatically equate to having sex

I don't like porn too much. Not a good way to learn about sex in my opinion. I think it's boring and unrealistic.

Best to get into a relationship, but if you're a young guy and struggle to do that then punting is the only option really. Best not to leave it too long before you get a bit of experience. Most women aren't interested in guys in their mid 20's who don't know what they're doing. Choose very carefully though.

[cjkanye02]

I was punting massively in my early 20s and I wouldn't change it for the world.

Whilst my mates were unsuccessfully chasing birds, I was having threesomes and seeing 2 or 3 stunners in a day (occasionally!) at Sandys in Manchester. I won't be shedding a tear over those memories.

Clarion, you're the man! Who would need to punt nowadays if they were of legal age? The advent of the internet, camera phones, sexting, lingerie as daily outer wear for young women and easily available pornography online must be positively affecting teenagers' sex lives (unlike in my youth...). If a sixteen or seventeen year old boy or twentysomething realises he's got a big dick, he wouldn't NEED to pay for sex now unless he wanted to (lucky little barstewards).

However, it's currently fashionable to criticise people for being "autistic" but the particular symptom of difficulties in social interaction might explain why some people HAVE to watch porn or use prostitutes after years of being single and frustrated and lonely.

Just my two penn'orth.

Very true!

Another point: WGs I have often told me that young guys can be trouble - that's why they say on their profiles that they won't see guys under 25.
Thanks to internet sites like Badoo it's never been easier for young guys to get laid for free - you have to wonder why they would need to pay for sex.

Presumably like me when i was 19 so they could get a fuck by any consentual way possible. If they have the money why not punt, as i posted my advice is to pull as well though unless they arent interested in pulling of course.

However, it's currently fashionable to criticise people for being "autistic" but the particular symptom of difficulties in social interaction might explain why some people HAVE to watch porn or use prostitutes after years of being single and frustrated and lonely.

616 raises an interesting point, I have high functioning aspergers syndrome, which is very different in every case, in my particular aspect I have no problem with regards to social interaction on the whole (Or a least I have trained myself to deal with it). However I have always struggled with the seduction (for want for a better word) of women even at an early stage of my life.

Seduction does not follow set rules and is based around intangible and unquantifiable feelings and emotions. Women often do not say what they mean or mean what they say. I find it hard if not impossible to pick up on their subtle indicators and find their body language difficult to read. When I was young I often "Fell" for women who had no interest in me emotionally and just as often missed the indicators of those women who were, until the moment had long gone.

Anyone can achieve almost anything with the right amount of focus, effort and time. So if I wished to I could go out and find a civie relationship but I choose not to. Because the amount of effort and time is for me enormous with no guarantee of results.

I enjoy punting because there are rules, guidelines and information and as long as you follow these rules you are almost guaranteed sex without all the emotional baggage that goes along with it. I can easily compartmentalise the personal and the professional which makes dealing with WG quite easy for me.

I think if UKP had been around 20 years ago then I would have been punting from a very early age and saved myself much distress over the years. Punting to me is an important aspect of my life which satisfies many needs with very little downside. As long as I have the money to do so then I can punt, so I focus on earning money and doing a good job.

Obviously this is very unique to me but I can get the point 616 was making that for some young men the option of "Sowing the wild oats" is not as easy as some may make out even in this day and age and good punting even at an early age will help them throughout their lives whatever they choose to do.

[Daffodil]

I started young. Usually in a LTR though, so punting is a convenient way of getting no strings sex.

When not in a LTR I do punt less, but never stop entirely and I don't believe that's a problem.

'Filling my boots', is the term, I believe

We all suffer from that problem, aspergers or not. Women can be very difficult to 'read' even at the best of times.

I think 95% of younger guys face this challenge. It's very difficult because girls will only readily 'sleep' with guys they regard as the cream of the crop. Which is about the top 5%. This is where prostitution is socially desirable, because it helps those that otherwise would have to go without.

I think guys like you with aspergers should have assistance with this, because you start with a disadvantage. I am serious BTW. I know of several cases via a female social worker, and her opinion is similar, but they are not permitted to even think things like that let alone suggest it.

I agree when I was young such things were not really recognised particularly if like me you are high functioning.  I am very happy with who I am and what I do and feel I lead a rich and fulfilling life. However I do wish I had started punting at an earlier age. Think it would have helped deal with some of the issues regarding physical intimacy.

Yes, well once again you are not alone in that. One of the problems is that prostitution has such a tacky image and there are such tacky people doing it (not by any means all of course) that the benefits are by and large overlooked. It should be a means of learning important social skills as well as a stress reliever. Maybe one day it will be seen as a proper and important social service. Too late for us though.

[616]

We've all seen those big groups go Goth/Emo kids hanging around town centres on Saturdays and we've probably noticed how tactile they are with each other, hugging each other all the time and of course, they're the GEEKY crowd, mostly.

When I was that age, I was totally isolated and didn't know any girls at all. I had to move into bedsit land before I got my nads. Nowadays, if I was old enough, I'd probably eventually find UKP and start punting with gusto, abandon and much enthusiasm and doing a 'Clarion' !

That's because I LIKE knobbing and enjoy making women come, probably to an obsessive extent...

[vorian]

True I think in recent years there has been some improvement in regards to those who are physically disabled. I have read articles about "Sexual surrogacy" particularly in some US states. As you said the public image of street walkers is the view most of society still have of prostitution.  People seem able to get their heads around the needs of those who are physically impaired and it is becoming more socially acceptable.

However the view the majority of people have of those who are mentally different to the "Normal" base line is still very misguided and has almost taken over from the old fear of those who were physically different. Words like "Spas" and "Cripple" are no longer acceptable to use, but "Loony" or "weirdo" still are.

So when you put the stigma of paid sex with the stigma of those who are mentally or emotionally different together then no agency or health professional would want to know. Often counselling is offered as an option, thats no good for most and would be like sending a gay man to a counselor so he can stop being gay, you are who you are. If however I had been introduced to punting at an earlier age then would anything had changed, probably not but sex would not have been such a big issue for me as it was. Now it is not an distraction from life but an enhancement to my life.

[hockogrockle]

To get back to the original topic; I think it's much better and emotionally healthier for your first sex experiences to be based on mutual lust. when you are starting out, as a teenager, even finding the woman is prepared to bare her tits for you is quite something, especially as you know it can only get better! I find it awfully sad that in World War I, the young soldiers were queueing up to have sex with prostitutes who worked just behind the lines: they did not want to die without having experienced intercourse. But that is exceptional.
So, if humanly possible, first sex experiences should be with a partner who wants it as much as you do: that way, you get the emotional involvement which underlies all the very best sex ,and which a commercial transaction, no matter how good, can ever replicate.

Agreed it is indeed much, much better but no always the easy option that some think it is.

[Thepacifist]

I started at 18. I respect older punter's views and opinions on the subject but i won't be told thou shalt not punt. It's up to an individual to decide for themselves. My advice is do both. Pull and punt.

[cjkanye02]

Don't you find pulling quote difficult though?

I think I'm a decent bloke, not bad looking, good job etc but have a terrible batting average pulling.

Whilst I was single I wouldn't have had a hope in hell of pulling enough to satisfy my sex drive.

Nowadays I frankly can't be arsed even trying.

[mystery7]

I think pulling is either inherent (watching your Dad/uncles etc if there good with women) or can be learnt. I wasn't particularly good but learnt from trial and error, reading and lots of interaction.
I worry as even though all the younger guys on here claim to pull an punt, I feel if they were honest they probably punt more.
Obviously there are exceptions that have been stated throughout the thread, but I feel male /female interaction is like working out at the gym, if its not regularly exercised it will become harder to maintain into older age
The fact that you can go out on a night, not pull and think 'I'll just book a girl tomorrow' probably contributes to you not pulling. As if pulling was your only option, you'd get pretty fucking good at it very quickly.
Personally I limit myself to a few punts a year, and try to keep my game up as that will only get stronger with age. Ad I also don't want to give up on women completely no matter how perplexing they are to me

[Jvosta]

too much effort...

yep punting has made me lazy. maybe I should cancel my booking with a Hungarian pornstar next week...and hit up heaven club instead...on Monday (non gay night)

I started punting young and I am still young. The reason for my punting is because I go through stages in my life when i don't want a GF, and too many times I have met girls in pubs/clubs and I say "I just want a one night stand" to the girl, and she says "yes, thats all I want too" so we fuck, I leave and guess what?..... yes! she keeps f**king texting and calling and trying to add me on f**king facebook Not to be big headed  but I am a good looking guy and I don't have a problem getting girls, but I just can't be arsed with bunny boilers.
So far this year I have not punted ( last year I did around 100 WG's and around the same civvy girls) but I have shagged 5 civvy girls between 17-26 years old. I keep looking at AW etc but none really wet my appetite in my area.

OMG! Sandys in Manchester, brings back very happy memories of visiting Manchester, and the excuses I gave to my company as to why it was essential that I went to Manchester to sort out the local office problems personally 

I must have been mid 20's when I first went there, Heaven

Just looked at Sandys superstars Manchester !damn! Anything like that in London other than HOD???

[partickphil]

I started seeing prostitutes when I was 19. I remember wanting the virginity issue out of the way and figured it was easier to see a professional than spend money in a nightclub I didn't want to be in hoping something might happen. I'm 24 now and still don't bother with trying to "pull", it is just not worth the hassle of spending £200+ on a night out for a 50-50 chance at sex when for the same I can get guaranteed sex without any emotional or financial risk. When I know that with my looks and social awkwardness a relationship will almost certainly never happen I figure I might as well have fun fucking stunners and trying out sexual experiences most people will never have while making myself financially secure.

With hindsight I should have done the same. I wasted an awful lot of time chasing after girls when I was young, and worrying about sex or rather lack of it. When you're on your own it can be quite de-stabilising. Should have been concentrating more on career path etc. Lots of wasted years.

I don't think you could really start too young. I found my confidence built quickly when I started punting, and went crazy for a while. Thinking back, if I'd done that in my late teens my life would have turned out different and most likely for the better. Certainly wouldn't have had so many of those familiar situations where you are just getting friendly with a girl and confident when she comes out with that old chestnut 'you only want one thing'. That happened to me so many times that it would have been great to have been able to not bother with them any more. Any woman who says something like that to me now I drop like a brick, it's the only way to deal with them. Being a confident punter is empowering and some of the prozzies are quite good fun and better for you than girls who use sex to control you.

[yeahyeahah]

Started at 20. My first was a w/g. 2 years on and still going.

[616]

A bit pointless mentioning this now but in my teens, I read this book about women's sexual fantasies (amongst other things...) called The Secret Garden, as well as The Hite Report. Both of these books showed me how to pleasure a woman, should I ever get one, and the lessons I learned from them have served me very well indeed., over the years.

In fact, my knobbing abilities are probably the only things that keep my relationships going for more than a few months at a time.

Funny that Vorian should highlight a point I made earlier about Autism. Most people are considered to be on the autistic spectrum to varying degrees but if like me, you're punting more than dating, then it's something to include in the discussion. Yes, punting from a young age is good!

[J F des Esseintes]

I had just turned 17 when I had my first punt. God it was exciting!  In my later teens I had quite a few more punts, and they helped me to develop a confidence around (naked) girls which stood me in good stead throughout my later life.  I had many great relationships in my twenties and thirties, with the occasional punt in between to spice things up.  I'm now quite a bit older and I still find the idea of punting very exciting, though it's been a long while, I'm married now and quite a bit older … Thinking of dipping my toe back in the water though ;-)

Welcome to UKP always nice to have experienced punters join who may have a different point of view on how punting has changed over time. I would suggest having a look around the review section always good for ideas.

I find it awfully sad that in World War I, the young soldiers were queueing up to have sex with prostitutes who worked just behind the lines: they did not want to die without having experienced intercourse. But that is exceptional.
So, if humanly possible, first sex experiences should be with a partner who wants it as much as you do: that way, you get the emotional involvement which underlies all the very best sex ,and which a commercial transaction, no matter how good, can ever replicate.

In an ideal world, I'm sure that's true, hocko.

However, writing as one whose physical disability brought with it low self-esteem when it came to chatting up girls, to the extent that I didn't lose my virginity until I was 27 [on a one-night stand with a girl who lived in a neighbouring flat] and didn't get married until 10 years after that, I wish that I'd had the guts to go punting much sooner than I did.  I'm sure I'd have enjoyed myself a lot more.

I began punting 10 years ago in my late 50s and the self-confidence with women which I developed as a result of punting means that, although I pay for sex [don't most married men, one way or another? ], I continue to get and enjoy it at an age when I'm sure that many of my contemporaries are "retired" in more ways than one!

Very good post, totally agree.

Starting to get a whiff of the old bullshit here 

You realise you don't have to give girls in nightclubs your full/real name or mobile number 

Oh dear, you are dumb aren't you. I do not give out my number/e-mail etc, but they easily get it  from facebook or friends of friends, and alot of the time I am already known to the girls.

The only thing I can smell is a strong whiff of your  jealousy

Date, and punt when you have the spare cash between relationships! I'm 23 and I love punting. I love havimg GFs too, but I'm young and I'm not looking for "the one" so I enjoy flirting and dating and punting.
