Very interesting thread!
Great posts from Ari and Cassandra as well. By the way Arizona, a few years ago I started penning two books, or rather one is a booklet. The booklet is a guide for Punters and WG's.... very pretentious I know, I know. Abandoned the idea to upload it onto
SCRIBD.com But the other book is pretty much my shamefull, sinfull life, a story of a punter, with many true-life experiences... very far from finishing it, but it would make an awesome TV series as an opposite to the popular series "Diary if a Callgirl". Any producers here wanna buy my work for a "Diary of a Punter" TV series?
Cassandra, there are indeed a rare few WGs who truly enjoy having lots of sex, and are not shy at all to be in this industry.
Nevertheless, back to the topic, I must confess, in my first couple of times of punting, I also had those feelings of regret and disgust, since it was my belief that real men don't pay for sex. But that quickly dissipated when, in the late 90's, I ran into a few of my Blue Bulls heroes at a brothel in Arcadia.
For the last decade or so, I've embraced my addiction to sex. Even when I don't pay for sex, I'm always still exploit any opportunity for one night stands or any no strings attached sex. I simply have no qualms about paying for sex. Hypocritically, I used to look down on guys who would pay a WG just to sit and talk to them. Kinda like going to the movies just to buy the popcorn and not even watching the movie. BUT, I've come to realise that there is a market for the very good WGs to play the role of "good listener" to the myriad of lonely punters out there. To each his own, horses for courses I guess.
I always took a keen interest in this industry, and would like to believe that I understand it from both the punter's and WG's point of views; all the highs and lows this industry inflicts on both punters and WGs alike.
I've felt honored when one of the all-time top, very best WGs once emailed me to say that she has learned so much from my numerous posts on the forum, and that what she learned from me made her a better WG. She's still in the industry, and definitely one of the most intelligent lady's I've ever met.
I don't think I'll ever quit chasing sex. I'm too addicted to sex to stop. I'm fortunate that I have the financial means to punt, considering a few years ago I knew a guy who would punt using multiple credit cards, leading to fucked up unnecessary debts. I think that the only danger more horrifying than STDs is financial ruin caused by our punting addiction. Financial ruin fucks you up whether you are married or not.
I would say stop over thinking it and keep it sweet and simple, punt for the fun of it if you have the financial means to do so, and skommel during those times when you survive on peanut butter and bread, just to punt on another day. Once a punter, ALWAYS a punter!!!
