Where is the red line that, when crossed, it becomes ADDICTION?

[Miclop]

It's an addiction when you start to punt with non discretionary money, that is money you don't have, and you start to forgo necessary spending to fund it.

So, before that happens, be like me, save up, and then go to visit Thailand.
Aaaahhhh, a few weeks of punting bliss...

The red line is when you directly affect personal relationships in your life - either emotionally or financially I guess. The red line only happens when someone finds out like your spouse/partner. Up until that point you are satisfying your human emotions - “I won’t go to my grave not knowing or having those regrets like wishing I had done this or that eg like punting”. If your red line is going to be regret or self vilification etc stop now and give yourself a kick up the arse.

I agree. If you are spending your food budget, electricity, rent, mortgage money, etc on punting or going heavily into debt to fund your punting, then you have a problem. But very very few punters would be in that position.
If you are spending money on punting rather than saving it or spending it on nice food and wine, restaurants, travel, other habits, more shoes and clothes, watches, new car, new TV etc then that's just your choice. It's what economists call opportunity cost - if you are spending your money on one thing then you can't spend it on something else. You are giving up something else. You are making a choice to spend it on punting. Is it the wisest choice? Maybe, maybe not, but it's a choice you make.

I agree with Mic , the first sign is punting with money that is needed for more vital things like , rent/mortgage , bills or money you haven*t (got that is credit card). Second would be punting regardless , no regular intervals , no set limits , just the need to punt over all other activities , socialising , family , work etc. Had my little run though I could afford it with mostly outcalls to hotels with 2 hour sessions over a 4 month period averaging about 3 a week . Wasn*t so much an addiction but a planned bonking great time . Only a planned renovation at home which started deterred me from continuing the run plus the looming drain on the bank account to complete it .. both brought me to back to reality and control the monster

I find if I ball slap too many women in too short a space of time I need a break. That’s probably my biggest issue. They get sore and that’s enough to slow down any addiction.

Red Line: you have free time and all you can think of is to see a WL/ML

Recovery: hit the gym, go for a swim. Keep yourself busy with something that will drain you out. By the time you finish the gym you are so tired that you can't be bothered.

That’s the thing. After going for a swim and lifting in the gym, all i can think of is getting a massage to relax and unwind.

Well an addiction is when you stop feeding your family because you use that money to punt. Oh when you rooting your wife you can't get it up when you think about your next punt. Or put your household in debt

I think very few punters would be genuinely addicted to punting. Less than 1% I reckon.
It's more of a vice than an addiction.
Most of us just enjoy doing it and put as much of our disposable income as we can afford into it. That varies from punter to punter.
Unlike drugs and alcohol which totally destroy you physically and psychologically, punting is not very harmful at all.
Physically not harmful at all. Psychologically potentially slightly harmful if you are immature or have the wrong attitude.
Unlike gambling where you can lose all your life savings in one night, with punting you can only punt so much before you are literally totally fucked and cant punt any more, and therefore can't spend anymore.
It's also a very enjoyable vice, and without the stress, regret, hangovers, comedowns, bad trips etc of drugs, alcohol and gambling.

Rooster your spot on mate
Reading all that every ones has posted with so many valid posts, Red Line huh, everyone is different I guess.

The excitement that can cause a "red line" is so many places you can visit, so many different woman and what they can offer plus, who is the best in your mind.
Yep you still need to shop around, price, distance, and what tickles your ya you know, and budget.
Hell some would just like to read what's new, who is new, is it better, I gotta try it hey lol
I think punters understand what's involved.

The way I see it is its like gambling. You don't want to gamble but because its an addiction, you do it anyway. Its like when I go to shops, same thing. I don't really want to go but I end up going anyway. Still able to have a good time and cum but yeah, I just can't stop and that's despite having the $$$ to do it. Always thinking about sex all the time is terrible.
