stopping punting

[punther]

Something I have found helpful in controlling my punting frequency recently(I no longer kid myself saying I will quit) is filming my punts

As I've built up a decent collection of filmed punts now when I have the urge to punt for the sake of it and I think hmmm I probably shouldn't and I just self service to a punt I've filmed. It's better than watching porn as the only cock I want to see is mine and its like reliving the punt also

Im trying to use this method to get me down to punting once in a 30 day period and self service twice in a 30 day period

[ian cognito]

I've been thinking about this today. Yesterday, I hade the ideal opportunity for a punt - afternoon off, OH working late, punting fund good and current favourite showing "available today". But I just did not feel like it. Don't think I've stopped, it's just Sod's Law - probably won't be able to get away next time I need a punt.

[willmo1]

Been seeing a civvie for a few weeks and the urge to punt has gone, so much better and cheaper and long may it last.

[Colston36]

It's funny I was thinking the exact same thing.... this was supposed to be a temporary solution
until I find another regular civvy girlfriend, but.... somehow I can't see it stopping 

As someone else said on another thread; it bears all the hallmarks of an addiction 

Sex is the addiction that keeps the human race going.

[claretandblue]

I've not punted for two weeks, hasn't saved me any money though as I have been boozing more instead and seeing mates, for my livers sake I think I need to get back to punting!

[Topgun]

I've said this myself a few times after some crap punts.
I've been seeing escorts for 8 years now, about 60 whores.

But my old teenage self (i'm 34) keeps bringing me back to shag more women.
Meeting women normally is usually boring. Sure the chase is a bit of fun but there are so many other bad factors that outweigh the positives.

Women rule men these days.
For single men at least by paying an escort we can level out the playing field. Men get what they want, women get what they want - or not, there's still escorts who think they are hard done by at getting over £100 per hour, regularly, because they have a lot of overheads like makeup, perfume you know the stuff women buy anyways.

Only 60 in 8 years? You're practically retired anyway!

[Jimmyredcab]

ive been punting for about 4 years now and i dont seem to enjoy it as much as i use to. the women are great and i always leave happy but it doesnt seem to be enough anymore. i have 1 escort who i see every couple of months then i might see 1 or 2 others inbetween, usually someone ive never seen before. i have been thinking if it was time to stop for a while now and i became more sure of it since my last trip to the escort i see often when see told me she was going to be stopping in the new year.

has anyone on here stopped and then gone back because they missed it?

or has anyone had thoughts towards stopping?

I am semi-retired from punting after 35 years, there are a few reasons but mainly the lack of quality, I search Adultwork every day and read UKP reviews and all I see is a pile of crap, some of the gentlemen on here are very easy to please.

I did not think I would reach this point but now find I have to agree with you. I find very few now that interest me, I have walked more times in this year than in the previous 10.
I do have the number of one that left AW some time ago,  I visit when in the area and I know she will deliver. Searching earlier gave me nothing interesting to book or see. :(AW

[GreyDave]

Been punting since I was 16  though many relationships and have done the deed with many types and races of girls and women it is very very hard to give up when I go off big titters I look for maybe fit 20ish or thai or African ect there are so many out there to tempt me I agree that these days women have the better position and punting sort of levels it out I have found that not being fussy about women in life and punting that is to treat them all equal and you`ll get back more ie one uglyish over weight girl I shagged treated me extremely well and was a great shag but some on here have commented on her pics and not even sampled the goods yet pass a negative comment yes I and a few other lads here will shag almost anything while we still can as one commented thats lifes purpose or as Shakepeare put it.. "When was you wick last dipped?"    to shag or not to that is the question!   we ask ...to go boldly? or just stay at home and have a Wank ?

[lostandfound]

There have been times when I have taken a break and haven't punted for some time.

I can't see me stopping for good however. I think it would be "the end" of something - about as likely, or desirable (in my view) as my giving up drinking.

[charming_red]

Haven't punted for months and don't have any major desire to. If any girl took my fancy and I had the desire and time then I'd go for it as I acknowledge that you can't ever shelve this habit. Once you've taken the plunge and realised how easy it is to get laid with a hottie it will always be on the back of your mind. Its nice having that option, like an insurance and thats why you can never stop entirely.

[Nagilum]

I have punted 8 times this month alone, it's unstoppable!

Then again it's new to me, so it will probably slow down.

Don't worry the inevitable shit punt which is sure to come your way will help slow you right down

That, and the realisation of how much you're spending.  Money runs out eventually.

I have to say that after my last 3 punts which have been a bit shit I am wondering if I should continue. I stopped for a few months several years ago and I think taking a break from it can help. Mind you I probably won't.

Would be good if you could review these shit punts 

[Sonny Crockett]

I am currently on a punting break after being fucked about and told bullshit by certain escorts. My current punt-free run stands at 7 weeks and counting. It is the longest I've gone without punting for 2 years. I am set to go a whole calendar month without a punt since March 2014.

[Nagilum]

  that was my first of the 8 punts with the Romanian! Luckily I have a plan, if I have shit punt, my regular girl will restore my faith

[russell sprout]

Would be good if you could review these shit punts 

I reviewed one of them the other night. I will review the others soon.

I think it's totally possible, if you had a good marriage, kids, a good job and a bit of will power. Why not?

You don't need any of those things. Its an inside decision, not requiring anything outside of yourself.

[Eiltedongster]

Sure, but I was just pointing out that those things would make it easier, I know it would in my case.  To some degree punting fills a hole in men's lives, if that hole was filled with other more meaningful things then stopping would be much easier.

OK, but marriage is not necessarily meaningful to every man, but I agree that it helps to replace it with whatever has meaning to an individual.

Punting is fun, why make out its some psychological gap in someone's life like an illness to be cured, maybe for you not for me, most men do it because that can and its fun.

Erm - to lighten the tone a little - punting is definitely about filling a hole, or two, or even three!

[PeachyAssFan]

I manage to stop between punts  :-). For me in the past it's that I have a bad run of punts and I end up thinking that I could be spending my money on better things. Then I come to my senses and think naaah, you haven't

Err because that's what the thread is at least partially about ?

About emptiness because he needs marriage kids and a good job or he is doomed to punting. 

[Sonny Crockett]

That itch for sex always brings you back to punting, regardless of how long you spend away from it.

To right they should call id boomeranging

[Eiltedongster]

Not necessarily marriage and kids but yes the suspicion that punting fills a void in one's life is a valid reason for exploration.

For me I'm cutting down a lot mainly because I'm getting bored of it. Btw, since I am new and you are a vet here, how do I use The PM system.

[cueball]

I'm not married and I haven't stopped but I do fairly infrequently

Well, I think this is nonsense - but allowed within the free speech ethos of UKP AIUI, as is a robust response.

If you have emotional problems and are a motorist it does not mean all motorists have emotional problems, and the same is true of punting.

Whoa , whoa steady on.

If you read within the context, you'll see that I am manly referring to myself, to be clear I was in the past using punting to fill the void of boredom. As I said, this situation has improved.

That's not at all clear from the words you used - such as those I quoted. I believe it's fair to say posters do appear sometimes, making wild generalisations about punters on UKP and are - fairly IMO - given short shrift. A recent example was "Deviant". If you mean to speak only of yourself you should be careful to say so IMO.

" Not at all clear " ? What are you on about ? Your own quote of me ( reply 89) CLEARLY states that it IS about me ( the unbolded part).

So next time when / if you have a genuine issue to debate, then do it but don't put words into my mouth and then try to debate that.  Maybe you do have issues surrounding punting, go and see a therapist.

So much for your short shrift ... LOL

By the way, don't reply because I won't.

I'll choose whether or not to reply to you, thanks very much - you're not a mod - yet.

Speaking in general terms as you have done about punters in the words I bolded has been a characteristic of trolls such as "Deviant" in the past, and it's just bollocks IMO.

[fredpunter]

Giving up punting can be very easy .... just get horribly ill, ideally whilst on holiday in a place where there's cockroaches in the hospital bathrooms, then bring the illness home with you and let it linger on for several months ..... I haven't had the strength or strong desire to punt since September. Having said that, a few get well soon messages from my three favourites have brought me very close to resuming my hobby at times. Hopefully I will get back in the saddle at least once more before this year is out. In stark contrast to me, my punting fund is now so healthy I may treat myself to all three favourites at the same time.

You cannot take part of what he said out of context and blow that up into an issue that clearly is not what he meant when read in context.  In any case I would agree with him in some cases including myself, if I had a great sex life with the OH I would not be punting now, I am sure on that.  So yes to some extent it is filling a hole in my life. 

I also think that if my OH suddenly became a sex goddess I would find it hard to stop punting, as others have said once the genie is out of the bottle it is hard to get it back in.

I am puzzled why you found what he said so offensive....

I find people generalising about punters to be offensive. It's what Harriet Harman and any number of feminazis do. As well as many trolls on the Net.

I also try always to speak from my own experience when discussing punting, and not to generalise my experience as though I am able to speak for or on behalf of other punters.

[Third Man]

It goes in cycles I think. Ive punted for just over 10 years and ive had periods of punting a lot, then months without. 3 factors- cash, opportunity including family shit, and horniness. Not punted for a month, got cash, had opportunity last few days but just now cant be arsed.

+1

Mood and enthusiasm does dictate how often you punt. These two things certainly influenced me. Also having great punts encourages regularity.

At the moment I have stopped punting as those two things are not there.

Though on the bright side I have an opportunity to save money.

Is that a new policy?  I managed to send a PM even before I posted anything.  But that was in July.
