Hey Man, I wanted to say my piece as I'm also relatively young and in the punting seen for about a year now but a lot of the people here have already said the most important thing when it comes to punting. I was on the fence for probably a year when I lived in Wellington and then a couple of years later i'm here now doing it.
What I found important when it came to me is that when I came to Auckland I was still studying at university at my home town while also only have a Minimum Wage job on around 27-30 hours a week which roughly with taxes ended up for around $1000nzd or so every fortnight. for escorting that is not sustainable and if you're on a similar pay as me i would advise to only consider doing it when you have the extra money to do so. this means making sure you're not using money that would be used on rent, food as well as money that you will use if something unexpected came up like car repairs etc.
that being said if you really want to do make sure you save around it and plan Weeks or Months in advance when you do it, this basically gets you the money to punt without risking of effecting important factors of your life. and make sure if you still don't have the money to do it by then DON'T DO IT. the timeframe is for a set target not a set date you can always move the date around but you can't get the money back once you've used it.
What i will say about this is a lot of the escorts didn't teach me anything new about having sex, i learnt more with my first girlfriend who was also unexperienced at the time and just exploring what we liked and what we didn't like. escorts especially Asian ones will just fuck you and act satisfied while not actually teaching you anything. half the time i don't even know if I'm satisfying it or they're just playing it up for my ego.
I'm sure if you go to more reputable agencies such as La Fleur and Dollhouse there will probably be escorts that you can learn from and I'd probably recommend the Desire escorts at La Fleur because they've been doing escorting for so long. its also important each girl is gonna be different one girl ain't gonna like the same stuff as another girl.
Escorting for me I just understand it as very transactional, at the end of the day they're not here to become your girlfriend, you can get along with them but don't see it as more as just enjoying each other company for the time you paid for or a lot of times you might even end up disappointed. I'd always recommend an agencies they're easy to understand their pricing and extras are easy to understand and find and only go for independent girls if they have good reviews on here or AF. don't go for the cheapest girls on NZGirls or escortify because usually the asian girls are cheaper but they're in fact bait and switch and you end up with a girl you never wanted that just want to get you gone as soon as possible so they can get their next client in.
I'm also someone who thinks he has good self-control and I basically prohibit myself from escorting in my home town nowadays because I lacked self-control once and see my Auckland trips punt as a reward for studying and working so much back in my home town. try to see it as a reward you saved up for rather than just wanting to do it for the sake of it. if you see it as that and that only the chances of getting addicted to it will be a lot lower.
this is also just personal experience and everyone opinion will differ I'm sure my perspective will contradict someone else's thoughts. I would probably avoid it if you're debating it as well. only do it when you know for certain you will do it because if you're still on the edge and then impulsively do it you can end up disappointed and feeling like you wasted money on something you wish you didn't.
(probably yapped a bit to much)
