I started punting when I was 22 and in the 3 years since I have seen around 15 to 20 escorts and I don't regret it. It has n't screwed me up anymore than I was before I started punting. It is up to you to decide whether you are ready. As long as you don't start diverting money from other more important things you should be fine. You will probably do yourself more harm by pissing €150 down the drain on booze on a night out than going for a punt. Treat it as pure unadulterated sex and nothing more. If you want emotional attachment get a puppy or a girlfriend. It is just an expensive wank at the end of the day albeit an extremely pleasurable one at the hands of some of the ladies on this site so go ahead and enjoy it.
