How additive can punting be for you?
How do you get out of it?
It has become an expensive hobby. I plan to work additional OT to justify my indulgence. Keeping a ledger of OT earned and ML $$$ spent. I guess a sort of reality check.
To get out of punting you need a mind blowing substitute.
I dropped pokie gambling to punt - so that’s a positive. I’d rather blow $300 a week than gamble it away,
I’m a much much older punter living my life in reverse it is a fantastic energising experience- another positive is an odd way is that I’ve dropped porn and masturbating for the real deal.
So no answers for you. Sex with the Asian influx is mind boggling - the naturalness of the eye candy captivates every cell in my body.
Who can you tell. Sex is addictive in all its forms - I am addicted.
Punting is evidence that a man cannot maintain real relationships with women.
Very few (sub 10%) of women would be OK and accepting of their men having sex outside their relationship.
Therefore, it is not just a way to have fun by paying a price. It's much deeper than that.
I am more addicted to coffee than to punting, have managed to not punt for months once but I go though seasons where I am punting regularly and other times where I am not.
The happy hormones we get after the sessions get us addicted. We are not addicted to punting, we are addicted to happy hormones. Find other ways of getting the hormone hit and you will be free from this expensive habit.
Here is from a hypocritical punter who saw 2 WLs and 1 SB this week. Feeling very happy at the moment.
Addictive as fuck.
No plan to get out of it...why would I? It's the only hobby that keeps me sane...lol, expensive hobby but definitely worth it, and I have no plan to stop anytime soon.
Not addictive at all. If I don't find a girl attractive I walk. Maybe earlier I used to do it more frequently but now I'm happy even with 1 quality punt with someone really attractive in 3 months.
I love the experience I had with every lovely ladies I have encountered. It is amazing feeling afterwards and yes it can be addictive & expensive. It doesn’t help when the Mrs has zero sex drive. I am sure you Guys understand the annoyance to get the Mrs in the mood. It is so painful.
People have differing views on addiction. My take is this, that it's all that you think of or takes up a big part of your headspace. When you've just had a punt but start thinking of the next punt even before you get home. When it starts to affect your every day life. When you're out doing something else but whatever it is you're doing you would prefer to be having a punt. When you are continually searching on the internet for punting related material. And yes that's basically me at the moment
There is no such thing as addiction, just weakness and excuses, and rationalisations.
Like all addictions, it's about slowly stopping. If it is once a week, take it to once a fortnight, then eventually once a month. And by that time, hopefully, you would have broken the cycle
$12,000 spent last financial year.
The financial year before that I probably spent $6300.
Lately it seem like all I do is work and sleep and this was just a way to have some fun..
I think it’s now a problem for me.
It’s like fast food or me. I say I’m not addicted, but I keep coming back every week lately. I really need to start saying No to myself. No to fast food and No for paying for sex. Too much of anything isn’t good.
Tonight I’ve been re-reading my reviews after I’ve clam down and im like OMG I wrote that? No wonder I’m getting mad at myself and demanding the very best from the girls… I’m wasting too much money on this..
The original question was: “how addictive can punting be for you?”
My answer is: it is very addictive for me at the moment.. and I should really cut it out. It’s Addictive enough that i was writing reviews about my experiences just for fun instead of playing videos games…I haven’t turned on my ps5 in weeks and it is collecting dust..
The fresh n fit podcast keeps telling guys to stop paying for box… and I’ve been ignoring them.. I need to watch that YouTube clip again to help stop me:

👍 That's me all over. With how much time left on earth I don't know, the back end of my career if U like I'm prepared to pay for now for what I went out of my way to chase n catch for free back in the day. Back then I was obsessed, now I just Lov it too much. Call it what U will.Quote:

I also find it very addictive. I could stop if I tried but I would miss it.Quote:

I only just recently started, just RnT at this stage. Without really realising I was going 1-2 times a week. Luckily it’s affordable for me, but it’s definitely more frequent than I’d like to continue long term. Hopefully the beginners novelty of it will wear off a bit. It doesn’t help that I seem to live close to a ground zero of great places to try
I think it can be addictive as men enjoy being with many women. It’s kind of fuels the ego. In saying this when I was punting I would be enjoying this once a week. Then have a break and come back again. After I would have an ordinary or bad punt I would have a longer break. I think the private
Asias put me off for good.
But since I started travelling to Asia for work and meeting girls from dating sites I hardly
had any punts. One in 6months only when the SB did not show up and I had blue balls.
Like any addiction you are better of taking a lesser costly one if you want to stop or reduce the bad habit. It is necessarily not a bad thing only costs more. But if it benefits your mental health and well being nothing wrong in continuing in a safe way.
Yes! It’s like throwing money down a bottomless hole. Or a bill that I must pay that just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Andrew Tate would say I’m a loser and to stop seeing prostitutes … And do some ups!
And his brother Tristan would say to stop watching porn!
Same here bro. For me it's Diablo IV. Might move on to Zelda or SF 6 if I get bored of it.Quote:

I didn't do much during covid, but this year.... I don't have many hobbies, so need to keep it.
