Hear me out. Just had a punt, review here - https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=426405.0

I feel like I’m lost. Paid sex just doesn’t do it for me anymore. Looking back I should’ve just ordered Uber Eats, £30 quid all in for a fancy Chinese Chow Main or whatever and then had a wank in comfort of my own house. I would have saved a lot of money(£70 quid in this instance) and would have been a lot happier.

For the record I have been punting for over 15 years. From Soho walk ups to outcalls and in calls, I’ve have done it all. It used to be fun but as years have passed and I’ve got older I have lost the magic touch I suppose. I’m 41 and I feel like I can’t just be present in the moment if that makes sense… Even when I fuck girls half my age I just cant find any happiness in it. I hate it. I wish I could go back to care free life. But it’s just ain’t possible. I’m lost. I'm fucked in the head I suppose

Any suggestions?!?

I don't think it's the prossies that is your problem.
It is something else in your life and you think if you stop fucking escorts is going to solve it.
It will not.
Find out what is really disturbing you and deal with it.
You sound like previously banned member jkandjol, depressed and jaded punter.

We could get another golden era of prossies soon thanks to the work of Fenix international, World liberty financial and our friends in Wyoming over in the states so please try to be a little bit more optimistic about things.

Well stop it then. Don't do things that make you unhappy, it'll just make you unhappy. It's ok not to be a punter. If you're not feeling it, the girl you're punting will pick up on that vibe and you'll just keep on ploughing that negative vibe. Sex is meant to be uplifting and if you don't feel that way it's not going to be. Good luck and hope you get over this blip

I would agree with some comments above.

This has nothing to do with paying for sex and I would suggest is deeper rooted.

Cease paying for sex, find out what is really making you unhappy, solve that issue, then see if paying for sex improves (you may find you no longer want to anyhow).

Definitely with dub6747 and scutty on this one.


DEFINITELY stop doing things that make you unhappy. Like putting your knob end in the toaster for instance  :scare: :dash:


DEFINITELY buy a motorbike. 👍🏻


Why do folk make things so difficult. If you’re not enjoying punting then don’t fuckin do it for jeez sake. It’s not rocket science. Plenty of other stuff to be getting on with if you need a hobby. 🤷🏼

There's certainly a lot of contradictions in the OP's behaviour.

Maybe he's seeking attention here, and possibly elsewhere without success?  Maybe this is the reason he joined ukp and is contributing?

What say you IBIZA?

Have you tried Seeking or Secret Benefits, you can build up more of a connection with an SB instead of going for a quick shag via Vivastreet? 

Offline LeedsGent

I started punting as I was not getting any sex at home.  Initially it was great.  Eventually the novelty of getting sex when I wanted wore off and I started to find it too transactional and a little meaningless.  I ended up on Seeking trying to fine sex and a little connection, company, dinners and overnights.  I now have a SB of 4 years, I am very happy with her and much prefer spending time with her than just quick sex.  It is not a perfect arrangement, but much more enjoyable over punting.

Offline Blackpool Rock

Something is wrong here, almost like a mid life crisis in reverse  :rolleyes:

So age 41 and punting for 15 years and then decides that life isn't quite right so questions whether to stop punting, surely at 41 having never punted you should be just starting to try and fill a void and in a desire to have more meaningless sex  :unknown:

All joking aside I do remember back 15-20 years ago nearer the start of my punting career when i'd only punt once every 6-12 weeks I did sit in a parlour bedroom quite a few times waiting for the girl to come in and think "WTF am I doing here again"
Looking back deep down I was probably after a decent long term relationship and I was under a lot of stress at work, I could watch porn and have a wank at home for free but occasionally needed the physical release with an actual person to try and obtain more fulfilment.
More often than not i'd leave with buyers remorse wishing that I hadn't spent my time and money on something that wasn't that good and instead of finding fulfilment it left me more frustrated.

Perhaps have a good think about where you are in life and where you'd like to be then try to plan how to switch from A to B, as others have said stop doing things that you do out of routine but don't actually enjoy
The good weather is here now and longer nights, I would recommend getting outdoors for some exercise and fresh air, a walk in the countryside or a bike ride can do wonders for your mental wellbeing  :drinks:
Essentially find a hobby or something that you can spend some time focussing on that you do enjoy

The thing with punting is that the high you get from a decent punt doesn't last forever and you need to learn that often you will get a bad punt or it will only be mediocre anyway, by and large I do enjoy my punting these days and i'm back up to 4-6 punts a month but prepared to accept that occasionally I cop for a shit one

I would suggest you go and see a counsellor who you can talk to, don't settle for the 1st you see if you don't feel comfortable with them, it may take a couple of tries to find the right one.

They will ask the right questions and you can talk without judgement,  you will be amazed at what you end up discussing and where that takes you in terms of memories and issues you were not aware were bothering you.

Don't punt till you have gone through this process as it won't help, be open about your punting in the sessions, you might find you don't have the need or drive to punt after them

Good luck

I agree with Steve and Miss Wolf ( and others ).

You can see a therapist, but often times it's just boredom in life. Why not find some nice hobby? Like something you used to enjoy doing as a kid or teenager be it painting,taking photos of nature, collecting stuff. Anything where you can rediscover yourself and your abilities. Even volunteer somewhere. Or just try something completely new. Often times your hobbies can carry you during difficult times. When you face your fears they disappear.

What you are saying makes no sense mate, after 15+ years of punting within the last couple of weeks you've all of a sudden lost the 'magic touch'? surely you felt OK about punting when you joined this site otherwise why join?   :unknown:

I think I catch your drift here.

I suspect a lot of blokes who are married and who have a younger mistress don’t realise they are in a SD/SB relationship. They just think picking up the tab all the time is the right thing to do.

Not for me a long term SB. I’d feel it was just the same as having a younger GF you paid for all the time.

Oh wait a minute……. It is.  :D

I feel like I’m lost. Paid sex just doesn’t do it for me anymore. Looking back I should’ve just ordered Uber Eats, £30 quid all in for a fancy Chinese Chow Main or whatever and then had a wank in comfort of my own house. I would have saved a lot of money(£70 quid in this instance) and would have been a lot happier.


Both casual sex and paid sex are inherently empty experiences. There's no way round that. As with all false gods, worshipping sex does not lead to happiness. It points to the mystery of existence but does not satisfy the need to solve the mystery. You're are describing the existential crisis that nags at all of us. Probably some honest work is required on what life is all about. On the positive side, it usually takes much more than £70 to provoke a religious conversion.

Chinese Chow Main is just another false god by the way. Must do better  :)

I'd wonder what the OP's motivation to start punting at 26 was? There are lots of reasons, heck there are long enough threads elsewhere on the subject. But maybe the reason for this journey may be different when asking the question today.

Maybe go to the docs too? A blood test may show a deficiency in something. Maybe you are depressed.

Whatever the reason the feelings relating to the punt (And if you haven't experienced punting regret / post nut clarity in 15 years in the hobby before you're damned lucky) try and make sure you are seeking to address the cause and not the symptom.

Offline GoodLookinGuy

I don't think this is even about punting "I'm lost in life...." sounds like either depression, in which case see your GP as a start or it just sounds like mid-life crisis, things that used to give you a thrill, going to nightclubs and including punting, no longer give you that buzz. Maybe you just over punt, difficult to get that real thrill if you are doing it daily

There is always time to change your life around. Maybe find a Life Coach and discover your values, beliefs and purpose in life?

You sound a little despondent, maybe suicidal. See your Gp for an assessment.

You're in a rut, possibly stressed, possibly depressed. Punting certainly isn't the answer - turn to a close friend for advice, or get some therapy. When you get your joi de vivre back, the libido (and everything else) will follow.

Thank you so very much for anyone’s replies. Much appreciated. I have decided to take a weeks holiday to(yep you guessed it) Ibiza to just chill out and whatnot. Recharge the batteries so to speak. I’ve been there twice before and it always manages to lift my spirits. My partying days are well behind me at this moment but I’m just looking for a bit of sunshine and relaxation by being on the beach etc and just doing f**k all.

I suppose I am experiencing a bit of a midlife crisis eg. feeling depressed(more often than not). Hopefully this will do me some good.

As for punting I’m also talking a break from it for the time being to save money for the holiday as well. Something to look forward to and be excited about.

Cheers for anyone for taking their time to comment on this thread and adding their 2 cents. Means a lot.

PS: I wouldn’t be able to afford a motorbike however I am into mountain biking and have a custom Marino hardcore hardtail(those who know will know).

All the best.

As long as your close friend is / has been successful in achieving the outcome you are looking for.

Too often I hear people asking advice from a friend or family member about affairs of the heart, who themselves has / had a broken relationship. That's like asking for financial advice from someone who's skint.

Find someone who has achieved or is enjoying what you are looking for, and learn from them.

In the meantime enjoy your holiday

I am a bit of a wimp myself when it comes to these things, but I would advice to perhaps have a blood test too. Just to rule out anything underlying such as lack of vitamin D or B12 which the lack of can cause low mood/depression in some people but it's easy to correct.

Yes, get some time away. Take a break from punting and find yourself again. Good luck!

IBZIA ,for christs sakes go see your GP for possible depresssion,  he / she may refer you onto a speclist in the subject to check other aspects out.

Then remember that paid for escort sex is not like the sex in a loving relationship. The best sex i've had has been with longer term partners. I'd love to meet a long term one again.

Course a lot on the site are with partners where the sex has dried out thats why most all of us are here.
