I feel this hobby is coming to an end for the average working man!!

[Jude86]

Is it just me or is this game getting harder! I know everything in life is getting more expensive, but I remember being able to see an English girl for around £60-£80, now your lucky to be able to see anyone at that rate! I'm blaming onlyfans!! Any solid suggestion of how to spend my hard earned cash would be much appreciated, English preferred but anyone who doesn't cost a national debit would be helpful!!

Save up your punting money for a few months and go abroad.

[Stevelondon]

That age old question. Where can I get what I’m looking for but cheaply. 

It’s unanswerable by the way.

[luv2kiss54]

The title is spot on 100% agree. As someone with a very average income i can no longer afford to punt like i did a few years ago. Basically been priced out of the market. The other thing is when i do punt i cant get out of my head that ive just spent the equivalent of a day's pay for half hour of "fun." Just cant justify it anymore (to myself).

Sometimes “Less is more”

My plan is wait for the better value WG that may crop and be happy with one a month or one every 3 months etc.
The market place for sex will be affected by Punter behaviour.

[Stevelondon]

Like I said. There’s no answer to this or at best we could all equate it to other things in our lives.

If you can’t afford the tax, the insurance, the servicing and petrol ……. Don’t run a car.
It might be tough but hey life sucks sometimes.

If the guy above is saying it’s making him sick thinking how much he’s just silent on a punt. Then he has to either stop punting if it’s depressing him. Or come to terms with it.

Inflation hits us all but it affects some more the others.
I’m lucky I live my life pretty much the way I want too but I don’t punt anywhere near as often as I used too. Probably down to getting older and definitely because I’ve got more choosey.

Maybe there’s an idea for those who think they are being priced out of the market. Save more, be more diligent when picking the SP so your guarantee of quality is better.

My £200 per hour max has been about the same since 2018. Usually it was much cheaper, now it is £200 or more for an inclusive service.
Save money, put it in a punting piggy bank if necessary (I use a spreadsheet instead). Reduce discretionary spend, especially things you don't use or get value, streaming subs, coffee, burgers, stuff from Amazon. I'm lucky to now have a lot of spare disposable income and budget for about £200 per hour once a week over 46 weeks. Any money I save I put to a year-end blow out. There were times in the 90s when I was taking cash out on a credit card to punt. Then the rates were about 8% now they are around 30%, so £200 will cost you £260 and if you don't pay it off it compounds into a frightening amount.

I am fairly new here and to punting as a middle aged man but I use the obvious discretion and look at SPs in the 160 mark to see if anyone appears off my usual patch that is worth travelling for

Not sure if being a member since 2021 counts as being "fairly new here" Why not drop us a review for those 160 mark SPs?

[Lush1pot]

What I do now is I withdraw small amounts of cash each month, different amounts depending, could be £30, £50, £100 and put it to one side, by doing this I have built up a cash pot of around £400 as purely a punting pot to spend when I get the opportunity. Then if I spend £160 for an hour or £100 for half an hour its much easier to take mentally for me and Im not noticing it in the bank balance as one whole transaction. I dont get to punt every month even though I try too! So means I can have more punts in a short period when Ive not been able to see an escort for several months as has been the case recently due to poor escort availability of the ones I want to see..maybe this might work well for you?

I do similar but on a weekly basis will put either £10 or £20 from my wallet in a jar , soon builds up and the punting vouchers are there ready without having to piss about finding a cash machine when opportunity arrives . Must admit these days as is more often the case and it is like banging my head against a brick wall trying to book a punt , once my plan C goes tits up I will think fuck it , give up and spend the money I would have spent and treat myself with something like a couple of decent bottles of single malt etc instead .

As a Pensioner at 71 I cannot afford to punt very often that's if a SP will see a FOC?  what annoys me is the out of date photos or missleading photoshopped ones  £150 a hour is my top budget  don't really care what nationality SP is long as its value for money, If the SP is not as described I keep my money and walk then look elswhere, after losing my winter fuel allowance  I too have been thinking of giving it up 

[deg_dilemma]

In accordance with some of the posts here, I also tend to punt less now but not due to lack of wanting, more because there isn't the value left in it. The current norm appears to be £160/hour and already looking around I see many moving to £180 or £200, for SPs that certainly are not worth that price. My most recent review is of a £160 (though I fortunately only did half hour) and it felt like a waste of money - but I hadn't punted in a while and wanted to get it out of my system. Post nut regret was apparent.

So mentally I do try to think "oh I haven't punted in 2 months so I have saved up for a more expensive SP".... but in reality that doesn't happen because it's still the value principal where I can't fathom paying £300 for just one hour. I have paid £350 for 2 hours before, and that was decent, and I have paid £450 for 1.5 hours (Ivy Ray) because it included unlimited filming/photos in very much a PSE. But generally I think it's so difficult to justify £300 for just one hour of what 'might be fun'.

I'm trying my hand at half hour punts now, where they are £100. The challenge is that I like to take it nice and slow, so a 30 minute punt is always too rushed and just doesn't feel fulfilling in the end.

[Stevelondon]

It really does sound like we are a mixed bunch with a variety of differing ways we each treat this punting lark. I’d say whatever works best for you. Keep on doing it and if putting the odd tenner or twenty in a jar every now and then works well……. Alls good.
As for 30 minutes not really doing it cos you like to take things slow………. The answer is surely just wait until you can afford longer.
Happy punting

[simon07]

I guess if punters reduce their punting, then the demand side of economics would suggest WGs reduce their prices? Not seen the market change in the punters favour so far.

I will play wait and see thereby avoiding high price, poor service WGs.

it hasn't happened (generally across the board) since i have been punting and been through the economic down turn in the 1990's, nor after 9-11, nor after the 2008 financial crash nor after covid  - it just doesn't happen that way! so if you start waiting for prices to come down, consider yourself retired!

[LauraHoD]

From what I gather from speaking to women who worked in the 80s, 90s and 00s is that back then you got a much more basic service( no kissing or OWO etc.) And the prices were not much lower than now. So nowadays punters get much more for less( taking inflation into account).  Basically what I am saying is prices have not risen in line with Inflation over the last few decades.

Literally everything is increasing in price so why would you expect the cost of punting to go down. There are still parlours that you can get a quickie for 35 or 40 quid.

Also in regards to Onlyfans. I don't do it myself but from what I gather very few actually make a lot of money from it. It's just those that do are very vocal so it appears that way.

Your right i seem to recall kissing was quite rare in my early days of punting. The problem now is that girls are charging these really high prices and then in addition some of them are charging extra for kissing, OWO etc. I only book girls who charge an all inclusive price. The trouble is you turn up to some bookings and they try and charge you extras which are not listed or mentioned on their profiles which is when i walk.

[myothernameis]

With myself, in my younger days would put mostly weekly and then monthly, but now hardly punt

But if I have a punt lined up at sometime, will start to save up, and over a number of months.  And soon it will be my 60th birthday, and Im going to enjoy myself on that day, with a punt

So nowadays punters get much more for less( taking inflation into account).  Basically what I am saying is prices have not risen in line with Inflation over the last few decades.

When I first started punting in the early 2000's it used to be £60 to £70 for half an hour.  By the mid 2010's it was £70 to £80 for half an hour.  Having had a quick look at the historical UK inflation rates (External Link/Members Only) the increases seem to track inflation quite well and indicate that £100 to £110 for half an hour would be the equivalent today.

I expect some of the disquiet around prices is caused by the size of the individual price increases.  Supermarket prices go up in small amounts but on a regular basis (e.g. 30p every few weeks) so people get used to the increases.  Prostitutes keep their prices static for many years and then increase the price by £10 for a half hour session so it comes as more of a 'shock' (especially if one punts frequently).

Now that it's quite common to see prices of £100 or more for half an hour, there's probably a psychological element .  It certainly concentrates my mind on what else I could buy with that £100.

Your right i seem to recall kissing was quite rare in my early days of punting. The problem now is that girls are charging these really high prices and then in addition some of them are charging extra for kissing, OWO etc.

I personally find the increasing use of 'extras' annoying but I guess from the prostitutes' point of view its a bit like Samsung having different models of mobile phone at different price points.  If you can't afford their equivalent of a Samsung Galaxy S25 (GFE + anal + S&M say), you can chose the A55 (GFE) or an A15 (blow and go).

A decade or so ago, I did see (on another message board) a prostitute saying that with the advent of the Internet, many girls felt pressured to offer more services such and kissing, OWO and to a lesser extent CIM. (They could see other girls advertising those services and felt they needed to offer those services as well to compete.)

Yeah some of the SPs I have seen recently were like fucking an Android. 

I'll get me coat... (and maybe go and see Apple at Olina and see if she's any better)

[Shrubby]

I suspect the main cause of the problem is the UK economy has harmonised with the rest of the EU.  Check out the GDP per capita charts and you'll see that places like Slovakia have seen rapid growth to about four times what it recently was, meanwhile the UK has remained static.

What this means is fewer drop dead gorgeous young ladies from the Baltic States figure they can set themselves up for life by noshing off jaded Brits for a couple of years given the job pays perhaps as well if they stay at home. There's less competition in the marketplace and it's a supply and demand thing.

That said, I don't think the prices at places like the Milton Keynes parlours have changed all that much in real terms. Go back 15 years and you were looking at £60 for 30 min, it's £80 now, a 33% hike. I can't be arsed checking out the numbers, but I reckon it's lower than most things have gone up by.

[Jude86]

I just wish there were more places like playgirls camberley or Guildford gold, always had a good selection of young English girls at good rates!
