Punting - Have any of you successfully stopped?

[GucciMane]

Hi lads,

some of you lot liken punting to pringles - once you pop, you can't stop.

Have any of you managed to wean yourself off the hobby? and if so, for how long?
(hope you don't relapse)

shocking how much money i could have saved in 2016 if i had just wanked, eh?
Finances are looking tight in 2017 so i need look into methods of avoiding punting.

[stonebow1]

Why would I ever want to stop? Sounds like you just need to learn to punt within your means. If a £60 punt once a month is all your finances will allow then so be it. I'd still rather shag 12 hookers this year than zero, life is too short!

[blackburnian]

Nope  - odd few months off but that's it !  Tried to quit a few times but then I seem to get the itch - an hour looking round the on the net and I'm hooked back in again . Now I just accept I'm not gonna give up while I'm still breathing and have cash in my pocket so don't bother trying

Even if I was unemployed & on benefits I'd at least save up a few quid to have the odd punt now & then lol

[nigel4498]

No.

[cueball]

Well, in twenty odd years of punting I managed a full five years off.....

The reason... I had a completely insatiable nymphomaniac girlfriend. I had nothing left in the tank for anybody else.

Eventually I were glad to see the back of her.... She bloody ruined me 

[Easypopper78]

After every shit punt I always say I'm finished with all this !sometimes a wank
Just isn't enough though.

[Home Alone]

No; but by chance - I was looking on the iplayer for the Agatha Christie play that the BBC put out last week; honest! - I recently saw: External Link/Members Only

I've never seen, and would never see, a street girl but I have to say that, for the time I was watching the four episodes - all 15 - 20 minutes long and mainly about street girls who were so desperate to feed their drug habit - it made me question the morality of punting.

Fortunately, a couple of days later, I had an appointment with a perfectly normal MILF who was the total antithesis of those girls and who cured me of any thoughts of packing up punting!

[od13218]

Well, I paused for about 10 years...during which time I got married and craved the thrill of punting! Back in the saddle now though- just had to learn to manage the situation and many minimise risks.

[purple_t]

I can't imagine ever wanting to stop. Only if I was completely skint or being caught resulted in the death sentence.

you are asking in the wrong place OP, it is very unlikely that anyone who has stopped punting is still using a punting forum

[Keema]

+1Why even ask on this site? Your question implies punting is a sin, a crime, an addiction, something to be given up like chocolate for Lent.  If you want to give up that's another matter but I'd suggest UKP isn't the best place to find it.

[OakTree]

While the average punter has a normal to strong libido it is very unlikely he'll stop. It' seems to be  the decline of libido that slowly diminishes the want or need to fuck for cash. It usually seems to go hand in hand with disappointed expectations and a general disdain for the whole scene.

[vt]

The last place to find anyone going cold turkey would be on here!    

Punting could probably be classed as an addiction, if it consumes most your time, energy & cash, to the detriment of other aspects of your life.

If you really were serious about kicking the habit, your local GUM Clinic may be able to offer some counselling advice. 

[Jonestown]

The last place to find anyone going cold turkey would be on here!    

Right on, as they say.
One of the first things a person looking to beat a compulsion/addiction needs to do is remove themselves from the field of play and avoid all trigger mechanisms, of which in the case of punting would be vast swathes of the Internet, including this site. Without doing that you wouldn't have a hope in hell of staying clean.

[Rockhead]

I've lost my punting mojo, but only for now, that is (and clearly not enough to avoid reading UKP!!).

I think it's perfectly fine to let it go for a month or a few months or whatever. The urge is very likely to return - and if it doesn't, as the OP kinda said, think of the extra cash you'll have.

Right now I'm immersed in spending money on a new car, getting back into the swing of work, and it's (almost) the last thing on my mind - but I'll be surprised if I don't return.

[claretandblue]

Don't think you are likely to find anyone who has really stopped long term still posting on here

[xxlmuscles]

I gave it up yesterday.
But I'm OK today, back on the hunt

[pking_paul]

I get bored periodically and have a break, usually after some shit boring punts with bad choices. I have been trying slim young girls for a while and most rely on their looks. Then I find a slim MILF who does the business for me and I'm off again it seems. 

[Mr_Shins]

I'm trying to seriously cut down, not just because of the money but also the enjoyment, which I think is more for something you don't do as frequently.

[IAMBATMAN]

my last review on here was the 18th of october 2015 and that was the last time i saw a WG so well over a year although i will be back to it very soon

Re: Punting - Have any of you successfully stopped?
nope but I never tried to stop.

[Thechaser]

Could not agree more!!

[threechilliman]

Interesting subject. I have no intention of stopping punting, but.......

It might happen one day. I have a history of becoming engrossed in 'activities' and then, without warning, stopping completely. I could point to a number of times this has happened to me - I do it and do it and then one day I put it down and just never return. I don't plan it, it just happens and the funny thing is that once I stop, I can never understand why I became so fixated with it in the first place.

So, my next punt might be my last one. But I wouldn't know that at the time......

Anyone who has...won't be on here to say they have.... I am seeing a fair stack each month.... I dare not do the sums.... I'll quit one day.. maybe... perhaps a hooker diet....but what if I get s bad punt? I then need to compensate by finding a good punt....

Apparently only method is to stop completely..... a novel idea I've yet to try...

[Autopunter]

I stopped for two years when I got into a long term relationship - combination of great sex and fear of getting caught/giving her an STD (not that I've had STDs as far as I know - I get tested every year and so far am clean).

In the third year we did the long distance thing and she gave me permission to use AMPs to deal with the build up of bodily fluids, after which we went on a break - so yeah, I was fucking around then because I knew what 'on a break' meant.

Anyway, since breaking up with her I have had a few FWBs or hook ups but a combination of lack of interest and (more realistically) a really spotty employment record since moving back to Britain has basically seen me consciously decide to stay single and keep banging pros.

Would I quit again in the future? Well that is a hard one to be honest because when I quit before I was very young and naive, and not very sexually experienced. Now I'm crusty and like hopping from one vagina to the next, and hold relationships in less esteem. I suppose I would quit if I had a few years of career stability behind me and was getting towards the end of my thirties. But my fantasy is to meet a middle-aged bisexual lady who wants to have threesomes with me and a steady stream of escorts, so it may take a while 

In all seriousness I think sex loses its importance as you get older. A lot of married guys who use escorts are reacting against having dead bedrooms in their prime shagging years when they were trying to make things work with the missus, and now feel like they have lost time to make up for. I would be in the opposite situation so we'd see.

[mediumjoe]

Sorry , and it's not in the glossary either .  AMP's ?

[raylondoner]

I did for a while but found it easier if I cut out all things related as well, such as UKP, PN and AW, otherwise you just get lured back in when the flesh is weak (lay off Literotica as well).

It's a bit like giving up smoking - "It's easy, I've done it dozens of times" as people say (not me though as I'm a non smoker).

[Normalguy20172017]

You can't stop. Everyday there is a new working girl which you might fancy punting. But to be honest if you want to quite. Just avoid going on sites. This will stop your curiosity

[Mil 34]

Yes I've given up successfully, until my next punt I am officially retired 

[mrdiamond77]

I once stopped for about a year.  I intended to stop all together.  Started punting again about 18 months ago and last year was probably my busiest year yet punting.

Hi
Stopped for 13 years!!!  Had a marriage/child/divorce and a few near misses though that time.  Always on my mind but stayed away until I thought the WTF and started again a year ago

[itk]

This will be approximately the 25th consecutive year of myself punting. Can't see it stopping to be honest, too much of an addiction  although I'm finding myself becoming too lazy to punt. Can't be bothered travelling as far as I used to get my nuts emptied.
At the moment though I have zero inclination of wanting a punt, been like that since my last one in November of last year

I have only just started!

[Mr_Shins]

When I got married I stopped for 6 years.
Then, at a point when my wife was pregnant I went onto forums about BDSM activities and got to see video clips and wanted to be involved in them.
A whole year still I didn't participate but then just couldn't resist and arranged a one-off visit to someone who ran one of those sites, in what was my most disastrous punt ever. (At least she wouldn't take any money).

Still, 10 months later I found Mistress Cameo somewhere or other and started seeing her regularly, and after that, it was just a regular thing for me. At that time, it was just one woman I would visit regularly, maybe every 2 or 3 months. I guess the gaps made it more exciting and enjoyable when it happened, as I don't think you enjoy something as much that you have all the time.

That is why I want to cut down now. I have decided I am not going to add any new girls now (other than those already booked). So sorry to all those lovely ladies over at UKE. If I haven't either met you yet or arranged to meet you, for now you'll have to wait until I clear my list down further.

I successfully stopped for 14 years after my first punt. It was that bad, I recall thinking 'I won't be doing that again'. Almost worked.....

I got into punting due to a sexless marriage, first punt was fairly meh and didn't really do anything for me so stopped for a while.  I remember I found the hot collection website first and kept looking at it but was always scared about catching something.  Then when sex with the missus completely dried up I realised the only risk was mine and after a few months break from the first punt I met the awesome xhannahx who was anything but meh!  Was addicted after that. That was 5+ years ago and I've now cut down considerably and in the process of retiring. 
I'm lucky that I live in a punting desert so have to travel 40-50mins plus to find a decent girl - having to put that additional effort in means that I often can't be arsed.
I also found I'm a punter of opportunity - I'll often go for a punt because I can rather than because I really need it.
I've now split up with Mrs Bod and found the delights of civilian sex again - so am planning on fully retiring from punting once I get a new sexually active Mrs Bod.
Of course the punting itch will probably return once the free sex dries up again...
Reading this forum doesn't help with the urge to quit though (unless you just read the negative reviews!)

[Knobhead]

Never thought of stopping punting, neither am I addicted to it.

I punt when I feel it and have spare time, usually keep myself busy though lol

I look forward to your first review.

[ness4]

I've had a few breaks but never truly stopped but just recently I've started to lose all interest. One of my regulars quit, another isn't so easy to see any more and whenever I look at AW I seem to be in a complete desert of decent WG's: its either Romanians, WG's that have been badly reviewed on here (not fulfilling services, pictures not accurate, bait and switch) or out of my price range (I'm really not willing to pay over £160 an hour on a TOFTT)
Am sure I'll change my mind if I find one who is exceptional, but in the meantime its a much reduced hobby

[shdh]

I am currently in a period of 'quit'.

Havent seen anyone since about March last year. Got a new girlfriend who is a true nymphomaniac and satisfies everything I could ever need and more. Half of the time I cant keep up with her let alone think about booking some random for a quick 30 mins.

Variety isnt an issue as we both swing together too.

All in, cant see a reason to pay for it.

[mediumjoe]

Shdh , now  you're really taking the p and rubbing it in with both hands.  You lucky bastard !

[Deepstroker]

I think that once you punt ,then there is always the possibility of doing it again. You see you now know that thrill of procuring an attractive woman who will make herself available to you just in exchange for some slips of paper with a picture of her Maj' on them. You know the thrill of the whole regime,the travl to the venue,the knock on the door, the reveal as she opens it and smiles,the moment she undresses and she is all yours.

Its been several years since i punted and i can still remember that thrill. Its always possible it will become reality again.

[webpunter]

Giving up punting is like giving up smoking.  It's easy. I've done it lots of times

Exactly. As the saying goes, "if you hang around in a barbers shop long enough, eventually you'll get a haircut"
