Fellow punters, I’d like to know what everyone’s budget is for this expensive sport. Personally I can only afford once every 3-4 weeks. I don’t know how some of you can go multiple times a week. If you find a regular will they drop their rate so you can come back more frequently?
At my peak of punting I was making 1K/day so 3 x a week @ $300 was pretty easy. Age has slowed me down these days.Quote:

However have gone as high as $400 for some, but always seem to get buyers remorse after so I try not to over indulge.
Interestedly, the price rise ( for me ) is largely due to the increase in services available. It wasn’t that long ago that NHJ was top of the pops, so $100 in today’s money. (Plus house fee), so a weekly visit was in the budget. Now the menu has more options with FS running to $250 (average) so 150% increase. Personally, I like to eat from the more expensive part of the menu and go less often.
Back in the day, my average punting investment was about $1k a week. Most I spent in a week was around $2k between shops and privates. Not all regulars gave discounts, but there were some who did. More often though, I'd get a bit of a bonus like BBBJ, rimming, anal, for no extra charge. There were a few over the years who I started seeing regularly outside of the shops so I wasn't paying cash for those, although dating comes with it's own costs - not always financial. I still go out with one of my old MLs who's since retired, and we still have a lot of fun. In terms of punting I couldn't be fucked a lot of the time these days, only indulging 2 or 3 times a month.
Ahhhh, a man after my own heart. I shared the same experiences as you flamejob. I loved the ones who gave there all and who wanted that extra as I sort. Over the years I realised they were chasing the same thing I was, a genuine passion. Seems they are just as messed up mentally as us punters.Quote:

That was fantastic and lasted 7 years. Unfortunately she wanted variety, and I didn’t.
I never punted during the times I was in a relationship. I guess I had what I wanted.
I old now and honestly, I’m starting to not really give a fuck about much.
In case anyone else is wondering, obviously I have some mental issues and I contribute that to my military life.
Everyone punting has mental issues, whether you want to admit it or not.
Happy punting fellas.
Hey Iloveit67, that's pretty intense. My ML relationships were fairly chilled, not too much drama. For me, I never quite learned to not punt regardless of the relationship/s that I was in at the time. I guess there's the addiction to variety no matter how good the relationship is.
I normally budget around $250 plus the room fee each visit. Might chuck in an extra $50 here and there if it’s a good one.
My punting was trying to fill a void. I had 2 shit marriages. I’m not sure if other can relate but in both marriages that tap was turned off on the wedding night and the two didn’t know each other but they both did the same thing. They turned the tap off, on the wedding night. All I could think was “what the fuck”. Generally they were passionless relationships and as most guys can relate that’s what we’re after isn’t it? So naturally when I found that passion then I stopped, unconsciously, punting.Quote:
