Who are still punting here.

[PleadInsanity]

Besides “ED69”. Has everyone stopped punting or taking a long break. So few AR getting posted. Cost of living is biting hard.

[forgotmyumbrella]

I do, but it’s been a series of duds lately so I’ll refrain from mentioning any

[Icegodofhungary]

I’m punting regularly (probably more than I should) but I’ve cut back on posting reviews since some fuckwit accused me of taking payment or favours for reviews (I don’t) and telling girls I’m a reviewer to get better service (also dont). It takes some time and effort to write a decent review, not worth the hassle just to get accused of bullshit.

I’ve seen similar accusations recently against other ARs. Almost seems like if anyone posts a positive review for one of the less popular or less known shops people will come out of the woodwork to accuse them of being a shill.

I actually did post a new review a few days ago, but it quickly got bumped down to page 5 or something by the shops bumping their old reviews every couple of hours. I accept that’s legit and within the forum rules, and the shops essentially pay to keep this forum free for us punters, so it’s all good - but it does add an extra barrier for posting new ARs if you know the casual forum users never going to see or benefit from them before they get bumped into oblivion.

[Peter69]

Only really at my regular at Panja as moneys a little tighter these days so taking a risk isn’t a good idea for me, at least with my regular I know I’m going to be satisfied

[minimaleffort]

You said it bro, cost of living is really creeping up, had been for a couple of RnT’s in the last few months but mostly with well-reviewed and known MLs.

[Mr Nice]

I have been punting hard but mostly regulars for the past month or at shops that prefer not to have a review. Agree with comments above re getting hassled got posting a review or thread. Good thing that a few of the biggest arseholes appear to have been banned.

Time to get back to ARs gentlemen

[MrPB]

I've noticed the slow down of reviews as well.

But I also have slowed right down in punting, and when I do, it's my regulars. I assume it's the same for many too.

The cost vs benefit of masturbating at home vs the time and cost to go out is surreal.

[Roydemeo]

Unspoken side effect of the cost of living crisis…everyone is back to doing their wives!

[blackm0nk]

I wouldn’t call my self a “punter”, more of a dabbler. My interest in seeking services really fluctuates but being on this forum, it really gets me enthusiastic and I just need to strike while the iron is hot otherwise it’s another few months before I feel the urge again lol. I can easily go years without the touch of another human and that’s something I want to change. I think Zozo Massage (for the rimming) is my next target though.

Or posting something negative and get accused you are other shops owners.

[Icegodofhungary]

Writing reviews is a thankless task, if the reviewer isn't given any encouragement or thanks from the thousands that read the reviews, it easy just to think fuck it and not add anything

True man.

On that note, shout out to ED69 in particular, his reviews are so good - and so frequent! I don’t know how the man finds the time (to punt that often OR write the reviews!)

[Veets]

I’ve cut back a lot and almost never revisit the same girl due to them drastically increasing their fee. In the 24 years of punting only a few are actually worthy of paying that extra.
The rest I can’t justify paying more for the same or less

Months without an urge...that's true monkmode right there.

I too identify as a dabbler rather than a punter honestly. Only go to shops 1x a fortnight on average. Not sure why I browse this forum often, it's actually pretty hard to quit lol

[I_luv_doggie.]

Just very time poor at the moment.

[putsputs]

I mostly repeat popular long stay regulars, who already have a lot of ARs written about them. I occasionally write a comment here and there.

[Dave23]

Yep still punt once or twice a month seen a private on Monday night

[Wayne]

Writing reviews is a thankless task, if the reviewer isn't given any encouragement or thanks from the thousands that read the reviews, it easy just to think fuck it and not add anything

Agree. There is so little incentive to bother anymore. I would have posted a dozen reviews over the last year and don’t think any got any discussion. Really don’t know why I return to this website. Stockholm syndrome or something.

[dewayne]

Hard to want to write a thoughtful AR when the same 20 or 30 ARs just get bumped by the shops constantly

[schloong]

Yeah I agree with others. I'm still seeing my reg but not as regularly & really not worth "rinse & repeat" AR's.

My radar is still on 'tho & currently exploring some other joints...

[tkicks]

This site is more chat than review orientated. If you want reviews you have to use xxx or TNT and most same people won't tolerate the moderator nonsense associated with those sites

[Double_Adapter]

So if I understand this correctly

Glowing ARs
- Shop owner trying to drum up business
- Punter is a shill pocketing kickbacks and freebies from a shop

Negative ARs
- Competitor trying to undermine shop
- Butt hurt punter banned from a shop
- Chicks refused to service him (eg Indian, morbidly obese, etc)

Juicy Extras ARs
- Punter is lying or exaggerating
- Punter has blurred fantasy with reality
- Other punters pile on, questioning credibility of review

No Details ARs
- Filler review from a punter chasing 50 posts
- Review spawns endless questions and speculation
- Review is deemed bullshit

No ARs at all
- Punter is a sex forum parasite, leeching without contributing
- Punter is a selfish cunt keeping hidden gems to himself

Another words "you're fucked if you post an AR, and you're fucked if you don't"

Without a doubt; writing an AR (at least what I consider an AR, more than a couple of lines of "She's good, I enjoyed") takes time and effort. And for what?


Boo Birds
"BS, nobody can have that much fun. I went, she wasn't attractive. She gave me marginal service. Shill". "THOSE aren't a LARGE rack - by MY definition; liar." Negative AR's? No problem. But when you look at their "body of work"... questions, negative comments, but any good time AR's... MIA or, at best, sparse. So where are their good times? Too lazy to post? Gatekeeping? Or "Composition challenged" - can't string some sentences together to make a paragraph, a couple of paragraphs together to make an AR? Past-history, "I miss Sue, she was great, too bad she retired" doesn't count as a positive.


One-Way Streets
Comments and questions, so many questions. But NEVER any followup, payback, reciprocity.

After An AR
"How old is she? How tall? Weight? Shoe size? Left handed or right handed?" But never a subsequent AR describing their experience.


General
Too easy to take 10 seconds to post a question rather than RTFF, UTFSE, expecting the unpaid to answer.


Scammers
Posting one line comments, crud, to up their post count (even a thread for that). Then, nothing, or more crud comments, questions. Their contributions... a steaming pile of excrement? Nah, that's an exaggeration. More like a trail of diarrhea dribbles.


Lurkers
They exist on all free forums. But they do contribute, their visits up the visitor counts, increased advertising rates.


So why write AR's? Some lingering sense of gratitude for the help that the forum has provided.

HOWEVER, and you know there has to be a HOWEVER, if for no other reason than to dissuade the above with a TL/DR.
If you require AR's to punt, then all I can say is baa, baa, baa. Plenty of intel here, shop and roster threads, with photos (yea, I know all about photos). But it's a start. Does the shop have a website, WeChat, locanto? Photos, descriptions? Then, the only tried and true method: BOTG.

For the record: I understand about no repeat AR's for regulars. Would just be a copy and paste - why they're regulars.

Myself: Drydocked, getting the barnacles scraped off.

======================

For shop buried AR's on the AR thread, I use a solution given by another (sorry, forgot who). Use the "Sort Threads by Thread Start Time". Not a perfect solution, but it does help.

=======================
Damn, a perfect synopsis by Double_Adapter. Guess it took me a couple of minutes too long in proofreading. SALUTE.

Not necessarily. I’ve been filing reviews here for over 15 years. I have always written my reviews in the hour or so after my session as a way of reliving the moment. It’s like “I just paid $X for a session, I want to get my money’s worth”. I’ve never written a review for or against a shop. The fact is that most of my interactions with working girls have been positive. So I tend to write glowing reviews. Even when I’ve had a dud punt I find a reason for it and explain. I never blame the working girl. I think mostly because they are getting the rough end of a business pineapple: selling your body really is the pits! Dud punts are never the girl’s fault. It’s mostly the brothel owner’s greed and poor management.

Good insight, good attitude. IME, your attitude is a great predictor of the experience you'll have. Good attitude, she'll have the same. Disappointed attitude, the "Well, if I HAVE to", will also be mirrored. On meeting, if she doesn't meet my expectations, I can bail, or, much more often, I'll look for something that I do find attractive and go with that. I'm there to enjoy; she's there to make money; more often than not, both of us satisfied. I do understand YMMV, and it's up to her on what she'll provide to me in an RnT. If it's not what I'm hoping for, hopefully, we can reach an agreement on some level of service and price that's agreeable to both.

I will slightly disagree. I've certainly had a few that were bad punts, on her. Most likely a BFL turning a LT, with an insistence of pay before, into a ST. Simple "always pay AFTER" lesson, forgotten due to complacency, relearned. That fact is simply reported in the FR.

As I've often said, regardless, bottom line, I'll KNOW what HER experience is like for ME. For most I'll post an initial AR, but not all. Given it's my time and coin, up to me.

You’re right about the tricks some girls use to get extra money out of you. But I’d say that is down to bad management practice. Well managed knocking houses incorporate that into their work culture. For example, the best run brothel in Sydney lists the specific services the girls offer. If the customer wants extras then the girl, if she is willing, is instructed to provide it then accompany the customer to the desk afterward to pay. The girl gets the money for the extra - the shop doesn’t even get a cut. It means everything is clear and there is no sense of being tricked. It’s all about service.

Respect. My example of MY bad punts was offshore, bar freelancers, where they are INDEPENDENT contractors, paid directly. Yes, you do have to negotiate EVERYTHING, menu, price, number of shots, time of departure, but since it's a MUTUAL job interview, gives you time to really gauge her attitude towards you. You want a lineup? Bar full of potential. Since nobody's wearing name tags or numbers, FR's don't bother with names, it's venues, up to you to go see. Truth is, I couldn't come up with an example here.

In SYD, I'll agree. One shop, I don't speak the language, but clear the mamasan was telling the provider to hurry up and finish as there was another batter on deck. We were finished, and, to her credit, the provider asked if she could leave 10 minutes early. She was a regular, no problem. Provider did return the favor on my next visit. Another shop, a punter came in at the quarter hour, demanding to see a specific girl for an hour. Mamasan told him he could have 45, she had a booking top of the hour. He demanded, or he would leave. "Sorry, please try another time". Respect. So yes, management plays a big part here.

Maybe it's the harbor, but easy sailing in SYD, IMO. YMMV :cool2:

Great attitude and great reason to write reviews. After a while even a lot of the good punts start to blur together or be forgotten. If I jot down some notes afterwards - even if not detailed enough for a proper AR - a later re-read can jog my memory of a good punt or girl. I generally don’t keep any notes on the bad ones; even if I later cant recall the exact details I tend to remember if I don’t want to see a particular girl again.

[Icegodofhungary]

Three punts so far this week; will be four if tonight’s planned works out. Two with widely reported on regulars; one another regular I’ve previously written an AR on - so no need for another AR on either of them. Tonight will be a repeat if I can get the timing to work, otherwise may take a chance on a first day, ‘first time in Syd’ girl.

If so, and if the experience is ok or good I may write an AR. If it’s bad, maybe not. I try to keep in mind a girl’s experience, and that if it’s not a great punt for me it may be due to lack of experience on her part, or her not liking something about me - I wouldn’t want to risk curtailing her future earnings via a bad review for reasons outside her control or that might be purely circumstantial. Although I may be attributing too much weight to my own words there.

[Double_Adapter]

The Magic Ratio

How many positive/good punts does it take to outweigh the psychological effects of a single negative/bad punt?

A ton of research suggests the magic ratio is 5:1
Meaning it takes at least five good experiences to neutralize the effects of just one bad experience.

This principle lines up with why most seasoned punters have a go-to regular.

[11Bravo]

5/1 ratio? For me, that 1 has no effect. Sure, hitting a homerun due to a "softball" pitch from a regular is fun, but always? You read an interesting AR, see an interesting roster photo... Sometimes you gotta step up to the plate when lady-luck is throwing hardballs. Sure, you can strikeout, but the possibility of a hit... too enticing. A "disappointing" experience, the realty not matching my fantasy... no problem, now I know. Next. Now, a BAD punt, a beanball, getting shit on... that might take some TLC recovery.

Good point. Sometimes when I'm bored, I'll take a look at some previous decade's FR's. Given I'm a bit verbose... they can be some fun reads, bringing back some great memories.

Thats why 99% of my reviews go in the private section. Oops i only just posted one in the public section. :surprise:

Yeah I'm getting that way too. Also saying regulars there's no point re-posting.

Also if the punt is a dud I usually don't post as it's YMMV unless it's an absolute terrible punt or i think a girl has been talked up too much.

I rather keep it positive and report the good ones who deserve repeat business.

Also for smaller or newer shops that don't advertise i post in the private section in case they don't want the publicity.

While the private section shields posts from non-member lurkers, it's all too easy to game the system and gain entry. DM's with known members have an increasing allure.

[Icegodofhungary]

Ok, I've posted a new AR.

[stallionmachine123]

Slowly getting over punting. Most of the good looking ones want $100 for a NHJ now.

[BelowAverage]

Ive got really lucky with good punts when i started, recently just so so. So maybe I'll just wait for the good ones to return

[fixatedperson]

ARs are not encouraged for girls who are no longer available due to leaving the industry, country, etc which was the case with my last few punts.

[Travel420]

As others have commented it can be a bit of a thankless task.

I try and put up reviews, in particular with the less posted about shops as I do like to find diamonds in the rough even tho sometimes they can be shithouse haha

Just chucked one up about a place in Dee why. Unfortunately I’m shit at remembering ML names

[Nthnrr]

I have had my hands well and truly full with a number of sugar babes so haven’t been near a massage joint for some time. Have been tempted to get back to MAC but no time….

[bung72]

I can feel a bit of a slump coming on.... recently there was a bit of a glut of new faces at my local, and 7 punts in a month and I'm back to the same stale offerings I fear. A nice regular has left I think as well. I've started trolling through E&B, but so far it doesn't seem my scene.... I might just have to wait until a new cycle of new girls, and subsist on pornhub while I build a warchest for the next wave! :)

[fixatedperson]

My theory is "punting" in the sense of trying new girls is only done or truly enjoyed by a vocal few.

Most of us find a regular and stick with them. We occasionally venture out but we always come back to what we know.

This view can be unpopular on these forums so people don't talk about it.

Technically yes this does work. But it's very odd or maybe naive on the part of the admin that the things visitors want to see (real ARs) are hidden from view by the stale and repeated content the shops are paying to post.

Seems like visitors will tire of the stale content faster and not come back to view the organic, useful content being generated by punters for free. The engagement loop does not exist. It's a wonder sometimes that this site is still here at all

Works on my mobile, Android. Portrait for a quick eyeball scan of the posts, landscape to see the full row. Normal thumb/finger to zoom and shrink. Don't even need my reading glasses.

Agree short name searches internally are a problem; using Google with an "aus99" in the search string can help. I once suggested this simple parameter change but it went nowhere:

In Thread Tools -> Show Printable Version, current limit is set to 25: Show 25 post(s) from this thread on one page

I'd suggest setting to quite a bit higher, say 1000. Why? Some of the threads are quite long, and if searching for a text string, say a name, having a large number of posts on one page makes it easier to find rather than having to do the search over and over again. My experience anyway.

Oh I agree fully that *we* can and should know how to do that stuff. But it's a barrier for the casual user and thus bad for the site as a whole with regards to the discoverability of information

[footboy2012]

I used to write a load of ARs.

I stopped when I barely got responses for a Intel requests.

Now I just share Intel with people who have responded.

I suspect many others are the same.

Friendly discussion, point taken. Maybe a bit of chicken and egg? Site needs viewers to set advertising rates. Advertisers need to feel there are tangible benefits in advertising, including posting perks. Pretty much a standard business model that paid advertisers' products place higher in results. And it seems there are growing alternatives for shops to post their rosters elsewhere. Less convenient for users - maybe a few less views. Shops not getting their threads higher up (and these have been started with AR's so there can be some info, even if old)... I'd think "fewer" there would hurt.

It might not be sooo convenient, but, if you want the FREE info, having to put in some work doesn't bother me. Really, how hard is it? Eyeball scan a page for interest, next page, repeat. OK, if you move your lips when you read, sure a bit longer, but still...:miao: Like a restaurant giving out free food, then customers complaining that they have to carry it to their table... OK, different restaurant, pay for the food (membership) and it'll be brought to your table.

As we've both heard, numerous times, "up to you".

Obviously, I'm more of a Professor Kingsfield than a Mr. Rogers.

Bottom line:
Shop ads have their place, they’re useful for quick info and keeping shops on the punter's radar. Handy for rosters, specials, and knowing which chick is rostered without ringing around like a horny telemarketer.
But no punter has ever booked a chick just because of a shop ad alone. Reviews, word of mouth, and firsthand punting yarns will always be the real currency.

At the end of the fucken day, when you skin this animal - reviews are the meat, shop ads are the seasoning; the forum is the hot plate, and the punters are the connoisseurs tasting the cuts.

Works for you, great. For me, nah! Simply numbers. More providers than photos, more photos than AR's. Why restrict yourself to a minority?

AR's are nice, ads are nice, but neither are essential. I have no trouble venturing out based on a shop ad sans AR. Have booked many with just an AD to go on. Never restrict my dining to restaurants with reviews, whether by critics or friends. Sometimes a simple ad with a photo of a menu item sufficient to lace up the ole boots. And sometimes, you just see one that simply beckons you in. Besides, that's why they make Imodium.

Quick check of my contact list, I'd say 50/50 AR/photo only. With a couple simple serendipity.

Game changer for me when I found this

[MrPB]

I used to write a load of ARs.

I stopped when I barely got responses for a Intel requests.

Now I just share Intel with people who have responded.

I suspect many others are the same.

This too, in the earlier days of forum activity and a bit more funds, I enjoyed the experience.

But now it all feels too sterile, too many lurkers, but the biggest factor for me is my reduced punting - once again due to me tightening my wallet.

[Abracadabra]

I am still punting but with decreased intensity and enthusiasm for a variety of reasons.
I find the forum waxes and wanes over certain periods of time where certain posters tend to dominate with their commentary and views which can be good or not, depending on how you see it.
Plus ARs are highly conditional on taste and subjective perspective which is understandable but quite often means they have little value to you.

[woodland]

recently i have had a few average and dud punts so i've slowed down

[Sinkie]

Some of these reviews are also pretty shit, They're so exaggerated that they raise your expectations, only to let you down, which is worse. Only a few are genuine.

[thepoonter]

I agree with the ARs sentiment. I used to write ARs but nowadays there's barely any response and too many lurkers taking advantage and without giving back.

Maybe from now on I'll put the ARs in the private section to gatekeep the lurkers and public

And that is where all the R&T should be anyway. Seems to be an over exaggeration of services provided in a lot of massage shops. And it can only lead to problems with the shops and licence requirements 😎

[LostShadow]

Still punting, I don't really go to the usual spots most people go to. I've only been adding onto posts with shops I've visited. I wrote a more detailed review back when I started but got asked about it when I went back into the shop a couple days later. They asked politely to take it down as it may cause issues as mentioned in the post above so deleted it and have avoided writing too much detail since then. Happy to reply to DMs if people ask though.

[cometoIndia]

Bringing in more punters expecting the same fantasy the read online only causes more trouble for them.
Best to keep the details to yourself, if you care about the girls. If not, you do you.

I know another poster gave a method to filter that out, but the fact that proper forum user input and dilution of threads with ads is real.

I completely understand that this forum is free, and is funded on those ads. But surely there's a balance to found of a reasonable amount of ads/posts.

[bistro]

Eventhough economy is kinda slow, money wise i still can do it...

But my last encounter, the girl offered me sex without condom and cum inside, and little that i know, its trending now....

Although i refused, my dick got softie later thinking all the guys she offered CIP as well, possibility if other girls are doing the same and how do i know which one does and which one doesnt, and then all the other negative thoughts thinking will i get some STI later on?

As an old married man, too much to risk, so i stay away from brothels lately... i need some sort of assurance from all brothels to go back that all their girls will be safe to have sex with...... and frankly at the moment, no brothels even tried to do anything, so im thinking they might be supporting this because unsafe sex is more appealing to punters... and made more money....

Thanks Riks for sharing.
That seems to be the norm these days. Along with $50 tip upfront in the shop entry price.

Some girls will try and rip you with $150 fs. And some punters pay it forgetting they paid $50 already in tip in shop price. Some punters are bad at maths or not thinking clearly haha.

Ive had girls ask for additional $50 for a nhj pretending its not already covered in entry price. I avoid those shops like anything. Prefer the old style $50,60 and $70 for 1 hour and rest negotiate with the girl.

[holi_day]

I am not a very active AR writer and just on and off writing some ARs here and there.


It's quite an effort to write an decent AR with a lot of time and thoughs. Normally the incentive for me to write an AR is to reward the shop for their good service e.g. I feel warmly welcome and attended, they made good recommendations and sometimes even better when the receptionist remember my preference, and the girl provided good service etc.

I haven't posted anything due to a couple of compounding factors:

1. I lost my main income a couple of months ago and living on side hustles at the moment while I am hunting for a new job. Although I have desent reserved funding for punting but the uncertainty forces me to punt less. I have a feeling this happens to many people these days.

2. I am mainly seeing FIFO J girls. Oftentimes I meet them just few days before they are returning to Japan with no set plan to come back.

3. I do have some mediocre punts. There is usually the sentiment on the forum not to do average or negative ARs, which I am against. I think we should also be open to negative ARs as long as it is respectful, fact-based and aiming to drive improvement.

4. Too many lurkers these days and people only want intel but not bother to contribute. My main motivation to write ARs is when I get home intel from others and I feel obligated to give back. But I am not seeing much activities these days.

I am hopeful I should be back to my normal rhythm of punting soon and hope I will be able to contribute more.

[11Bravo]

It's quite an effort to write an decent AR with a lot of time and thoughts.
Like some, you're old school and follow that old school template: Shop name, shop contact info, girl's name, description of what you've seen, your experiences. Old school - takes time and effort.

You might want to switch to the new school template that seems all too common these days:
I went to [shop name].
I saw [girl's name].
It was (pick one) [great | average | disappointing].

QED.

Good luck with a steady income stream. Agree with your 3 and 4. The new template contributes nothing to reciprocity. No time, no effort, no intel, but I'm (you say verbose, I say old school).

Cheers.

What shop was that Riks?

[trampslikeus55]

What shop was that Riks?
My guess it would be most. Seems that "all inclusive " pricing has jumped to $200 for top tier. Many are seriously overcharging for what they are providing. But I have beat this drum before so pay whatever. To me it brings new meaning to being fucked over 😎

[Danny801]

Lol Fucked over!
Crazy prices $200 tip plus entry fee $70 = $270.
For a small hard massage room and table.

[justincase]

If the prices are going up it’s more incentive to be very selective on who you’re punting.

[Double_Adapter]

I looked at some WL regulars before I stopped seeing them and I think “you’ve let yourself go”, too much easy money and they’ve dropped their standard. They put on weight, don’t dress like they used to and they take you for granted… especially if I’m paying more I expect more.

I go to the effort of dressing well, keeping fit, presenting well for a punt and performing well during the punt so why don’t they?

Their job relies on image, first impression counts. If they walk into a room and you’re paying good money for it you expect to see a certain standard, not a belly, well worn underwear or poorly kept hair and makeup.


If you were rimming 5 hairy backsides, and sucking and choking on 10 cocks a day; getting tossed and rag-dolled into every position, and pounded by a bunch of ugly, smelly and sweaty 300lbs blokes; do you honestly think you’d still look fresh, smell sweet, and be bouncing with enthusiasm for the next punter?




I see MLs as being the main culprits, with individuals ramping up the prices for their services you’re better off going to a brothel with fixed pricing, a bed not a massage table and a decent shower.

Some make more doing ML work than being a WL on fixed pricing. I know because they tell me, they charge what they feel like as a ML and some mugs pay it… including myself until recently.


You say "MUG"....some would say "a SIMP"



I was shocked to see how eager this ML was the other day after I paid her an extra $300 on top of the shops money for everything then for her to recount the money like it meant her life depended on it. I thought “jeez you’re greedy” the money doesn’t need to be counted twice, she saw me count it once.


Maybe this chick’s been previously scammed, burned and short changed by a few dodgy cunts, so now she’s just extra cautious.



Her rate for extras was $200 but she’s now bumped it to $300 which I was ok paying as I hadn’t seen her for a while but that’s the last time I’m seeing her.

They need to be not so outwardly greedy which is a trait I’ve noticed amongst some as it presents them as desperate.

It cuts both ways, bro… you reckon they look desperate, but they’re looking at you like you’re desperate enough to fork out the extra $300



The shops rate is $140 plus her $300 so the one hour cost me $440.

For that money it was the last time there, she had previously been a regular but I can get better looking and younger elsewhere.

Maybe try your luck with a SB or a civvie bro - you might get more mileage

Double Adaptor I for one enjoyed your responses .. as you pointed out , works both ways and a fine line between being scammed and dollar shop bargain punter

[RodgHerMoore]

I reckon lack of ARs may also be indicative of cost. Reading this thread confirms my suspicion some of the popular shops such as 227NS and 41 Epping have so few reviews because bros know they're paying way overs for extras.

I'm tempted to go 41 Epping or Tulip when i see how smoking hot the photos are but worried about wasting time and initial up front fee only to be told pt2.5 or 3 is starting at 3pp AND fk all service. In which case I'm better off at Mirage or either of the Ginzas.

And maybe that's why those 2 still get more ARs than anyone else.

[andrew91]

Used to go punting every week, but now FS is $200 from MLs, so I’m down to every 2 weeks. Still fun tho ,good massage and a new girl to bang each time lol

Cost of Living pressure is biting now. Many shops are slow and you hit the nail on the head with not being sure about total costs. I think many, myself included, have stepped back from 2 or more adventures per week to probably fortnightly to monthly. And I find myself settling for a NHJ far more easy than once before. And the mystic about writing an AR for a NHJ is long gone for me. The big players at Ginza and the like have got a lot more to brag about. 😎

Those extras can really have an unexpected hit on the wallet, and you might not even get that good of a service. That's why recently, I just mainly go to massage shops for nhj, and if I want FS, I go to mirage for diamond services, and ginza. The price is listed, and I know exactly what I am getting.

I've cutback massively. Think I'm down to 5 punts a year now and I think I can cut even more out cos I just no longer feel the urge to go anymore.

I recently did a rough estimate of how much I was spending on punting and it was mind-blowing. I looked at 2020-2023. I was averaging $700 a week almost every week. It's a modest estimate because I clearly remember spending a lot more on some weeks. Even factoring in a couple of months each year that I couldn't punt due to whatever reason, that adds up to $30k a year. It's probably around $100k I spent in those 3 years of madness.

I found the same. even the good ol days - 3 times a week at $120 average is still $360 a week x 52 is $19k a year . Thats like $100k gonskis in 5 years.
Nowadays the same action is $250 a time. Plus all the shops have the same ML rotating around - take a popular one like Soda - you find her all over the shops. Not much new talent.

[Steve100]

Everyone’s comments make sense. I have significantly reduced punting over the past 6 months.
If I was to spend $200 on any other “purchase”, I would expect a certain level of service.
Nowadays it seems most MLs are only doing the job because they don’t have visas. Services are lacklustre & almost a waste of time.

Same here. I can't believe the old worn out trash that is still working in the industry, some now almost 10 years older, no longer sweet and hardened mechanical hustlers demanding extras. Like fuck off.

Besides “ED69”. Has everyone stopped punting or taking a long break. So few AR getting posted. Cost of living is biting hard.

Cost of living is real for sure….

Still punting but for sure cutting down and mainly sticking to either regulars or girls with good reviews

A shift away from going’s at Ginza to repeating girls like fwb and nsa haha

But when ur so tired and stressed from life having the regular really helps as there’s a bond of you know what each other likes (assuming she remembers you) Mirai Mona and Scotch are just few examples of that wife/gf feeling where you feel like coming home to your SO for hot steamy sex…

You said it bro, cost of living is really creeping up, had been for a couple of RnT’s in the last few months but mostly with well-reviewed and known MLs.

Are the extras still standard pineapples at the Rnt or they (either shop or girl) upping prices too?

I believe MLs expecting probably $70 for NHJ , at least $100 or more BBBJ, FS $200 , some greedy girls will ask for $250 on top of shop price lmao . My punting career will be over soon

[Will_1_am]

I dropped into 227 Broadway this week (she's currently Tuesday only), saw Crystal, a bubbly mid-twenties Thai girl. Pretty face, curvy girl but with sensational (felt real) boobs and big juicy nipples. Respectable level of English too. She gave the massage a go but it definitely wasn't pro level. Lovely neat, tidy little pussy. The rate was $120 for 45 mins inclusive. On the flip she offered B2B plus CBJ for an extra $50 and full service for another $50. I went with the first and she oiled herself all over the front and put a great effort. Dom on and the CBJ was good. She moved to pussy slide, again a good effort and that was the moment I caved and agreed to the extra fifty. She has a nice tight pussy and is a very enthusiastic fuck. Cycled thru some positions and finished with me drilling her in standing mish. Nice clean up and head massage to finish. I guess $220 for 20-25 mins of fun on a massage table ain't great value but she gave good service and didn't try it on with ridiculous prices.

[Danny801]

Thats right, i was at NS227 last week and getting on v well with a viet ML. I told her to go with the flow with the services so avoided the upfront negotiations. Went from B2b $70, then upsold me to $100 for BJ with this cling film wrap which i had to admit felt like a real bbbj! I could feel the heat, tongue swirl and suction and had to check a few times that she had not sucked my cock thru the film. Then added an extra $20 for dfk and I thought we were well in the grove, so after a while I said lets move onto FS. I named the price at $150 and then BOOM!! She shot back and said, No! I only do it for $200!! Nearly lost my boner, anyway I did not partake.

She hinted that all girls at shop do FS at $200. These girls really must be attending their business diploma classes and know a thing or two about price collusion.

[Gggggg]

If you’re regular with NS227, should try T Rita, nice mature gentle and easy to negotiate to $150 FS.

Totally right about the banks, bro. But TBF, just about everybody has a hand in it.

The reason that the banks are 100% blood-sucking greedy bastards is because of motivation from greedy shareholders. Imagine if the CBA was still a Gov owned bank. It wouldn't have given a fuck about profit margins. No manager would have gotten a bonus for bumper profits, but no manager would've gotten the sack for overrunning their cost budgets either.

Now think about WHO are bank shareholders. If you're a "savvy" investor, you would at least hold some Aussie bank shares... Cos they're bullet proof investments (at least until now). If you're not an investor but you have super, your super is investing in bank shares whether you like it or not. Everyone else who aren't invested in bank shares are idiots.

In short, just about everyone is invested in bank shares. At least 80% of the working population I reckon.

If you need to blame someone for the shitty position we're in right now, I highly recommend 2 giant sized dickheads to blame. Namely Paul Keating and his duck-faced side-kick John Howard. Hello.... Labor? Liberal? Who dafuq cares, they're all the same ideology. Only idiots believe they really "oppose" each other.

They were the ones who respectively started and completed the privatization of the last major bank in Australia, the CBA. Can you imagine what it would be like to have at least 1 Gov owned bank in the banking market right now? One that doesn't care about profits and just does what a bank is supposed to do?

In a free market, all you needed was 1 player that goes against the greed paradigm to keep all the greedy fuckers in check. At least ONE bank, that's all we needed. But those 2 mofos managed to complete their mission and fuck us all up. What do you think of that?

My mortgage went up 1500 am with CBA after I rolled off a fixed rate eventually got it down a bit however you need to threaten to leave to get the best deal possible.

I got insurance with CBA they jack up the premiums every year despite making no claims the sons of bitches. Dont get me started on Telco providers also who year by year provide shitter coverage and service.

Every board room in these giant corporations discuss how can we get the most money out of everyday people and literally offer them nothing.

As for butt fucking employees don't believe this AI bullshit its all smoke and mirrors for them to send jobs to India and Philippines this country is to risk averse to do any tech transformations.

Stopped entirely. Last visit was Ginza about 6 months ago. Despite a lot of new J girls working, I've lost interest.

Getting more enjoyment hanging out with friends and spending time outdoors. Maybe its old age but punting honestly doesn't do it for me anymore despite a tonne of positive experiences.
