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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!)

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

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.

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

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...
