Certainly can become addictive.
Trick is realising if its getting out of control and if so to limit yourself.
Never spend more than you can afford, and whatever you do, don't hurt anyone.
Enjoy the experience.

words of wisdom- punting can become *very* addictive- this place is like alcoholics anonymous & a Bar rolled into one- suspect many of us recognize the pitfalls but don't want to give up something that we enjoy...if you ever start sacrificing other parts of your life you know it's time to take stock.. whether or not you do anything about it is another story

Can't agree more Franken. Good advice there - recognizing the pitfalls and setting boundries ahead of time is important. Mark's point about never spending more than you can afford is really important. When I first started punting, I went a little mad - seing escorts a couple of times a week. Would have become bankrupt very soon if I hadn't taken stock and set rules for myself.
I would see an escort everyday if I could! So I limit/ control myself by setting a budget. Although I must admit I have occasonally overspent the month's budget particularly when one of my favourite girls is going away for an extended break and I want to see as much of her before she leaves.
P.S. Fraken, your endnote - 'Always think with the big head - never get blinded by the pussy!' - is the best piece of advice for punters.
It's what inspired my avatar picture.. or was it the other way around?! It's the distilled essence of a new book I'm writing called "Punting for Dummies- my years slithering around the moist underbelly of the escort world"
As regards money- in some ways having a budget or time contraint is a very good thing.. sometimes it's the only thing limiting my swimming around in this sea of hedonism- thanks christ!
I totally agree with what the others have said, I was in a similar position to you,first it's a bit like a kid in the sweet shop,spoilt for choice, but I've slowed down now,more choosy and have learnt to sort out the good reviewers from the knobheads and get to spend time with some gorgeous girls. Having said that depends how deep your pockets are !
