WHY
One of the greatest inventions in punting, a real sea change, is when mobile phones became cheap enough for many to have. Not smart phones, just simple, cheap mobiles (ah, my Moto flip...) No camera, no wi-fi, just the simple ability to send SMS's. No longer did one have to go to the bar, the shop, to TRY and find her. Direct contact. Time for an afternoon delight - Let your fingers do the walking. Home leave (either party) - no problem, easy to reconnect. Gaps - TDY - pick right up.

With smartphones, we're spoiled. Apps. Instant translation. Rosters.

It's simply BUSINESS. Win-win. She has a customer list that will move with her from shop to shop. You have a proven provider list at your fingertips. There's a whole, LONG, thread here of the plaintive wailings "Anyone know where [fill in the blank] is?" I laugh because many do: herself, her family, her friends... and if I have her contact, so can I, a simple message. (BTW: no answer IS an answer). Where is she working? When? I never try to bypass the shop (though some might make the booking for me). I book with the shop, and let her know. Everybody is on the same page. If she's limited duty, she's running late, there's a problem, SHE will let me know; shops can be slow to none, given they want you "in the shop" regardless. Likewise, if you have a sudden problem, direct contact to let her know, then the shop.

HOW
Simply ask. Having lived through prehistoric times, if I know she'll be a regular, if I know she's NOT a "one-n-done", I'll just ask at the end of the session for her app contact (in Ozland, WeChat). Most will say yes, some will say no. Either is fine by me as BOTH tell you how interested she is in doing future business with you. Even if she declines, doesn't mean I won't see her again.

Now, I'm (see above - reading comprehension test), so I'm taken seriously. A young pup, maybe not. But like many things, it never hurts to ask (if you're serious about POTENTIAL repeat business).


Trouble is, people see what they expect to see. And you know what they say about assume - it makes an ASS out of U and ME. I've met some of the nicest women in the business. As with most contacts, the contacts, like soldiers, just fade away as life progresses. Reality, not fantasy. But great memories.
Oh oracle of the punting fraternity , you nailed it again 11Bravo.
Was reluctant at first to not so much exchanging phone numbers but personal photos and videos featuring myself as thoughts of blackmail appeared but since they had given me their personal numbers it swayed me otherwise plus being in my late 60s now , personally couldn't give a toss.

First started as helping out a WL with her Onlyfans website though my identity wasn't shown but seeing myself in action and the thought of being a porn star triggered it off
