I’ve had many great punting experiences and this site has been fantastic to back up local AW searches with previous reviews.

But I’m sure many of us in this hobby have moments of reflection and think “why am I doing this”?  A recent comment on here where someone said they’d basically paid £90 for an expensive wank from a 50YO Chinese woman has got me thinking.

There are still some great SPs but the post Brexit exit of most EEs (who I loved) and the proliferation of “Thais” (Chinese) and Brazilians with fake bodies including some natal males hasn’t helped either so after a couple of false starts I really think I’m out this time after nearly 10 years, perhaps for good.

We are heading into a world with no cash, universal surveillance and online recognition through AI. This could make it almost impossible to remain discreet and even give some bad actors an opportunity for blackmail.

In Scotland it could also be criminalised in the next year or two and that in itself is simply not worth the risk.

So happy punting folks but spark’s gone out for me at least for now. My advice at least based in Angus Scotland is to save up for fewer high quality punts in London or Europe. I just wish I’d taken it myself!

It wont be criminalised.
Even if it is. Punying when banned is more fun. Was banned in covid times. I had the best punts in lockdown tbh

Lockdown was a joke, the people telling you what to do were doing the opposite and i bet they were all still shagging escorts and young boys.

If the spark has gone then it makes sense to put it on hold. There is no point in paying for it if neither of you are enjoying it, may as well just shag the wife.

in what way? Just the simpleton reason you give after saying it was a joke?

Would be wise to not discuss covid ...which probably spills into politics here.
To the op best of luck in your endeavours  ;)

Stepping back from punting is a bit like doing The Hokey Cokey.
'Good luck' OP!...............and maybe 'Many Happy Returns'  :)

A recent comment on here where someone said they’d basically paid £90 for an expensive wank from a 50YO Chinese woman has got me thinking.

Been there myself a few times actually and so I'll share my opinion on it.

I often had thoughts of meeting someone new, having all the fun of a new relationship could bring, and ultimately I did (felt like a soul mate for a few years) when that spark died down, we decided to breakup amicably (luckily) as we were and still are both married. The thing is, if i wasn't punting and doing to parlors, then i wouldn't have met her ...... still figuring that one out.

Keeping a long story short, although the money i spent was more or less the same during that time, I really didn't want my life disrupted. Having had a narrow escape, I thought through what i wanted going forward. Seeing young good looking lady and having intimate 'no strings attached' services is what works for me.

I feel most relationship with a civy is attraction and mostly sexually driven in the first instance, so at some point after that initial spark, things will become calmer and less fun. Never mind BJs, a HJ might not even be on a table once the relationship hits a certain low. So paying someone willing is perfect acceptable to me. Disclaimer: Finding and seeing the right kind of person who will scratch that itch for you. But the point here is that based on my situation, a clingy breakup would be a disaster for me, so having dodged a bullet, I'll stick to 'no strings attached' punting and avoid additional long term commitments.

I have everything at home except for a sexual relationship. This does include all the usual troubles from my family and kids but when it counts, we have each others back, so circumstances impact us all differently.

Taking a break to assess things and trying something new is always good if things no longer excite you. Although punting is a no brainier for me, I did have to think it through.

I think many of us will have the same thought. I have had long hiatus from this hobby, but come back.

I had fun times near the back end of lockdown and out of it from women craving intimacy from dating apps, to paid civvies needing to make money after the economy turned to shit. So much has changed since then.

I would say to OP it's always good to take a break from punting and go do something else, I found after doing the hard yards wasn't getting the results I wanted so on a break for now, back dating civvies having a good time. Don't know what it is but feels like the punting scene is dire at the moment even in a big city like London

Don’t punt if you don’t feel like it.
Punt when you feel like it.

It’s not rocket science for fucks sake.

I find massages are a good half-way house.  Recently I haven't enjoyed my full on punts and have instead searched more for massages, some of which are legit - so long as I can be naked, which is half the fun.

The important thing is that it has to be a good massage, not a shitty pretend oil rub that leads to a HJ. So that way I feel I am getting some real service for my money. There are some very good massage therapists around my hunting grounds of Maidenhead/Slough and of course more central London.

My man tries to punt in Dundee/Angus and Calls it quits

Same region as you man and honestly I understand the pain, hence why the majority of my recent punts have been elsewhere.

It's a very regional dependent hobby and yeah. Sometimes you need to travel to make it worthwhile.

RIP to OP, I only step back if there’s no good SPs in my place
Before I used to go 4/5 SPs a month, 1 hr meets, 8-10 sex a month, now I’m like touring punter  :wackogirl:
