Why punt? Curious about the whole game...

Fellas - genuinely interested to hear from you.. why do you punt?

Growing up in Brisbane it's impossible not to notice the explosion of massage shops around town over the last 20 years.

My first experience was about 10 years ago when I was corrupted by a mate who was a regular, and got me in to it. He had a hot girlfriend and I had a fat ugly wife at the time.

The "massage" was like a back tickle and the "extra" was like she was plunging a toilet and the whole experience I would describe as "painful"

Over the years I've tried a wide sample of "proper massage shops", the typical neon sign dodgy suburban R&T and some decent brothels.

The question I can't get my head around reading all these posts is: why punt?
For $200 you can go to a brothel, choose your girl and be guaranteed to blow....

Why go through all the effort of staking out seedy shops to only end up with a boiler giving a substandard massage and HJ?

* Do you have an STD and can't get serviced at the who're house?

* is the dodgy dealing part of the attraction?

* Are you more comfortable trying to fuck a ML than an actual prostitute?

Also, in all my visits I have barely seen another punter, ever! Never see anyone going in or out of a shop either. Do you all go at night?

Anyway, keen to hear some stories and experiences as to why you like to punt.

Maybe there is something about punting that I'm missing🤔

I ve been punting on and off for about 23 years or so. Mostly with independent Asian escorts. Apart from 2008 till late 2016 I was living and working in Asia, and I was married for a few years before that.

Anyway, back on topic: a punt can be at a massage shop/ML s, independents, brothels. To me, "punting" is all of the above. I ve tried a few ML s, but mostly independents. My main interest in this site is reviews/recommendations is in regard to independents.

As to why some men prefer massage shops, could be a few reasons. It can be a bit intimidating going to strange houses and apartment complexes/high rises, and it can even be risky sometimes. A massage shop environment is more suitable for some. Also especially nowadays, some of these shops are well appointed and very comfortable, even luxurious in some cases. Guys can also have a look at some of the gals, pick one they like, just have a massage and NHJ at first, then come back later for extras if they are satisfied with a certain gal/service. As for boilers, you can obviously just walk if it is a bait and switch, fake add etc.

I mostly go with independents, but some ML s are very good, and a lot of the reviews/recommendations by posters on here are genuine.

I went to quite a few ML s in 2022 and 2024 especially, not as much last year, but it was hit and miss in the Oxley, Rocklea, and Inala where I ( mostly went ) Had better luck with the independent escorts.

Had a double submission.

Just in regard to other punters, I live not far from 5 Star and I have seen many men going in there ( especially Asians ) It's one of the most popular shops. As I don't punt in my own area I don't go there, but I am a customer at other local businesses. I have also seen men going into the shop at Beaudesert Rd Moorooka many times, day and night.

Girls at brothel are like harden criminals, ive been to a couple here and the girls there have seen 1 million dicks each over the past decade, they usually been working in china/korea/singapore for many years before making their way here, usually because their glory days are over, it's a terrible experience at a brothel.

Now alot of those brothel girls also end up working at massage shops too, but the difference is all asian girls at brothels have seen a million dicks, but only some girls at massage shops have seen a million dicks.

Massage girls aren't all harden criminals, they are many students and girls with normal jobs trying to earn extra money on the side....etc

Every girl gets jaded after seeing a certain amount of dick they go dead in the eyes, massage shops you can find girls who aren't dead yet, thats the hunt thats the attraction for me, finding girls who are still horny for a decent looking guy to play with.

Going to a brothel doesn't matter if you brad pitt with a perfect cock, they are yawning and spraying an entire bucket of lube into their dry ass beat up old vag, they dead from the waist down.

You can genuinely have some good mutual sexual experiences at a massage shop, at a brothel not a shot in hell it's all fake moans and baby baby oh baby fuck me baby come for me baby I love it baby, ridiculous crap, the hornist wettest women ive fucked outside of massage girls not one of them has ever said oh baby come for me baby it feels so good baby....

And when you do come across a boiler or a battle hardened million dicker at a massage shop, you can take a lovely massage first, then bail out of there with a $50 handy or if they are really unattractive to I just hand them $50 and leave.

At a brothel your $300-$400 deep before you find out what you dealing with and then they still try to upcharge you $50 for kissing or $50 for bbbj.

As for not seeing other punters, depends what shop I was at a shop today, 3 girls working no one was at the front desk they were all busy watching tv shows on ipad to notice I had arrived, I looked at the booking sheet, only 1 name on it for the day which was mine..... not every shop outside of take 5 or 5 star is flush with customers.

Agree with all this. I forgot to mention the brothels in my post , they are terrible, very cold, clinical, sterile, and a waste of money. Not gonna spend 400 or 500 on a punt with extras. Although massage shops are not really my thing, sure as hell I d go to a massage lady before any brothel. And yes, T5 and 5 Star are always busy, but sometimes it's better to go to a more quiet place.

Yeah going to take 5 and 5 star to me almost feels like cheating the thrill of the game.

I had two really nice girls who I was seeing last year at smaller shops they both ended up migrating to the two bigger shops after a while, I could immediately feel a big shift in their service and basically giving a fuck about seeing me after.

They get so ran through so hard so fast at those shops, pussy dries up and they couldn't really give a fuck anymore, if I come see them or I don't come doesn't matter there is so many guys lining up at those other shops they don't need to give a shit about individual customers anymore.

Nothing better than finding a clueless stunner at a smaller shop who is fresh to the game, once they hit T5 and 5 star, they are just dead.

Great Forum guys I’m on the GC and I find the in dependent girls especially the massage girls seem a class above . I’ve found even if you have a couple of straight massages they usually come around to some type of offer . I have another post up atm trying to track one down she was that good . They are usually fresh gullible and just want to earn and learn and every now and then you get a cracker . I know you pay a little more but in my book it’s worth it

Most Brothels dont offer bbbj and I dont know where original poster got $200 from, thats just to walk in door in Qld. Sydney much different where u get stunners at Ginna Empire doing it all for 300 odd, even CIM Rim etc

All the brothels ive been to they offer it in the room for $50 more, after already shelling out $300-$400 and they don't just ask once, no no they carry on like a door knocker level of trying to extract that extra $50 out of you.

Its a deathly experience, I remember going to asian star years ago, the girl wanted $50 for this $50 for that, she hopped on top for 20 seconds said she was tired then lay there like a dead person while I struggled to finish out fucking her limp body I paid for an hour, I was in the car within 20mins, only energy she had was for trying to get her extra $50.

My wife has 0 to no sex drive anymore. We always end up arguing about it when 3 months has gone by and I feel like absolute shit / feel like she doesn't want me.

Apart from that relationship is great.
First let me say, I've always used protection, not willing to roll the dice on that unless I decide I'm going out with a bang!!

Started going to brothels which led to privates (more bang for buck). Now privates are starting to ask too much vs establishments. Recently visited massage parlour, not expecting / realising there were more options than a HJ.

Value for money, easy to access and an actual massage.

Win win

Prior to the change in the law, Ml’s were a bit hit and miss ( part of the attraction) and privates were a better bet. There were some classic privates. These days the extras are more comprehensive and more addictive. An easy FS with a SYT cheaper than a tinder date.

As you get Older you soon realize that Life can become a Little Stale , Day to Day.
Your Friends become Busy, and it can become Difficult Plan Events you used to, because everyone now has Commitments.
So as per the True Definition of Punting , you look for something New and Exciting.
Novelty.
Very important, in this World of ours to have things that you Look Forward to, otherwise you just get Bogged down with Serious Shit.

Amen brother. Live for yourself. Do what you want to do. Not what others think you should be doing.

You forgot stamp collecting, it beats stamp collecting hands down..

I have been through the whole ecosystem!
Started with going to the strip clubs all over Brisbane, which was extremely expensive and unsatisfying; then moved on to privates with lots of hit and misses; then moved on to brothels which is much more reliable as you get to CHOOSE the best lady from the line up; finally massage parlors which you don’t get to choose, more like a lottery each time.

But the parlors offer better value because the girls give you a massage first, which for most men after a hard days work, is a very welcomed relief. This is especially true when you get older, all those muscles you didn’t think existed before are now all acting up and hurting. A skilled ML can really work wonders on this issue, and I would say majority of ML are at least on some level able to do passable massage. I rarely met a girl who can’t do the bare minimum. Compared to brothel girls or private escorts they mostly do not do massage. Some *may* do it, but it is tiny fraction. When you go to brothel, the girls are only expecting you to fuck; only very few would do massage after the fucking is over and generally they don’t know how to massage.

The other advantage of parlor is value and price. Although this is starting to be diminishing by the day, as parlor now upping the price (used to be $50 per hour now they are $70 to $80); combined with the “extra” service especially when you asked for FS, which now runs at $250 plus $70 shop fee, you are looking at $320 total for 30 mins or less of “extra service”. Compared this to brothels which charges around $250 - $280 for 1 hour of service. Of course if you are only asking for NHJ or BS, it is still value for money as it cost less than private and brothel.

For me, I think “a variety” is a healthy diet; somedays I just want certainty and reliability I would go for brothels or privates I have seen before; other days when I am more adventurous I would try out parlours as it is always exciting to try out new venues and girls.

BTW, I noticed some of the brothels (non-Asian ones) are now listing the “rates” as just ROOM HIRE ONLY! Does not include sex part! WTF is up with that…..

For example, 1 hour is $130 for the “room hire”, I guessing you have to negotiate with the WL in the room for the “package” which few years ago run for around $250 for the “GFE”….

IÂ’m a long time lurker on here, decided itÂ’s time to join in, punting for me started a couple of years after I became a widower, 8 odd years ago, and the scene has changed in Brisbane, as a lot of you know, used to be so much more hit and miss, but part of the fun not knowing, waiting for the TT.
I mostly visited brothels with some great experiences some not so, but since the changes to legislation have only just started going to parlours again, so much more on offer obviously, and is fun and I’m enjoying the variety. Will start to share my experiences hopefully help someone out just getting into “Punting”

I never went to strip clubs/brothels, but I concur 100% with what you say about massage parlours being by far the best VFM bar none.

I’m new to this forum, but started going to brothels a couple of years after I became a widower, so around 8 years ago, didn’t really go to parlours as I liked the certainty of definitely going to get a fuck, I did enjoy the anticipation of will she or won’t she tickle the tackle on the occasions I went for massage.
Now that has all changed I’ll be trying out a few parlours with help from you fine people and your reviews, and will add mine as I go along.
