I only started punting not too long ago and I mostly visit privates and here are my tips:

1. Maybe book like a 30min or 45min schedule instead of an hr booking.
2. Look for verified ads and even then it’s not guaranteed that’s the girl you’re going to see.
3. Look for ARs here that have links included and maybe see if that’s your type and try them out since they have been confirmed to be “real”
4. Best to avoid non verified ads as more often than not it’s a fake ad and you’ll be greeted by an old granny.
5. Never pay deposit. Period.
6. If you meet them and they’re not the same girl, WALK AWAY, now sometime you might be too horny and your lil bro downstairs might tell you “oh well you’re here already, might as well fuck someone” avoid that. I have had to walk away a few times but you’ll be walking out of there knowing you didn’t get scammed of your hard earned money.
7. Also don’t stress too much, my first time I was so stressed it almost took me the full hour to cum.
8. If you’re driving there, park a block or two away, you never wanna give out your whereabouts.
9. No one, and I mean NO ONE is looking at you or knows why you’re there, so avoid the unnecessary stress.
10. And the no.1 advice is YMMV (your mileage may vary, just because a certain AR reflects the girls service as goddess like doesn’t mean you’re gonna get the same treatment, noting in life is guaranteed and especially with privates.

Brothels if you get a dud punt you can complain, cop a discount and try again. But tbh I’d rather visit privates than a brothel considering N5M and most others charge $280ish and above for 1 hr experience although you do get BBBJ/ CIM included with most of them, meanwhile a private always charge $50 each.

Also some rules are common sense, don’t dress too flashy or high end designer stuff for your first ever punt, carry only the designated cash, some places will send another girl to ask for a double (mostly the trashy places) avoid that, only pay for what you initially asked, and well obv enjoy, you’ve now committed yourself to a life long addiction of punting. You can checkout anytime you like, but you can never leave!
