Wife has a low sex drive. We have sex only 1-2 times per month.

I started punting because my long-time girlfriend, now wife, was physically unable to have sex due to pain for various reasons which lasted many years. Luckily she's been very understanding about sexual needs and has been open with me punting as long as I remain clean and test. One of my earliest experiences was at a soapland in Japan with her blessing. Even though she has been ok with the idea of it, I haven't let her know how often I partake and she still thinks i've just had a handful of experiences over the years. Now that she's mostly recovered, we're still having difficulties getting back into sex and I still continue to punt without her knowledge, it doesn't seem to be something I can just stop now that it's started, especially now that I'm wealthy enough to do it more often. Luckily we never combined our finances and are mostly independent on that aspect, minus the assets we own together.

I'm the same as a lot of other guys here. I've been with my wife for over 12 years. I love her and don't want to leave her.

But she doesn't want to have sex as often as I want to, and she doesn't want to do all of the sex things I enjoy. Plus she's put on a solid 60 lbs since we got married, so now some positions are just impossible. After having a kid and getting older, her libido just dried up relative to mine, which is still going strong. She knows I want more sex in our life, but she doesn't know I occasionally seek out an escort.

I usually only go looking for an escort while traveling for work. Never in my home city.

But even if my wife was as stunning now as she was in 2012, I'd still be tempted to see other women occasionally. I like variety. I like seeing other women nude, feeling their bodies, and fucking different vaginas. It's exciting and satisfying on a very deep level for me to have additional sex partners.

I do not see the same escort over and over again; I have no relationship with any of them. I consider them like an upgraded version of porn and jerking off. It's strictly for my pleasure and sexual relief. (This should not be read as an implication that I am anything less than friendly with the WGs I see, fwiw.)

I still very much enjoy sex with my wife. I love taking showers with her, touching her, all of that. She's just less excited by the idea of sex than she was a few years ago.

I like this subject,   I often ask myself the same thing.

Have been married for over 25 years.  Still in love with my wife, still have healthy sex at least once or twice a week.   She is able to pleasure me.  I am able to pleasure her.  So why do i do this?

I guess for me I use it to fill in the gaps.   When kids happened,  obviously the sex dried up a bit,  so I felt i needed to augment a bit.   Then things picked up at home so backed off.  As wife got to more menopausal age interest dried up a bit so again augmented.   
Also  my wife is not a big fan of blowjobs so 1) I dont get them much at home  and 2) when I do she is just ok at them.

So all told I do it basically to augment my home sex life and fill in the gaps during the slow times,  and also do do things that the wife usually wont do that often (or as well).

I think agree with many posters, but also i find it a difficult thing to do, maybe even feel a bit shameful. In the end im happy, but i really need to blow of some steam or just satisfy my fetishes.

Unless you luck out and snag a freak of a gf/wife, their skills are no match for the professionals. There are a bunch of sexless marriage out there... From experience, when you meet someone new the sex might be great, but eventually it fades and you'll be lucky to fuck even once a month.

Been with my wife for about 4.5 years and married 1 year.  Our sex life is pretty good.  If either of wants sex, the other will never turn it down.  My wife often initiates too.  I'd say we have sex 3x a week and it usually pretty good.  Everything else in the relationship is great and we never argue.  I love her and will never love another woman.

That being said, I love the feeling of seeing another woman naked for the first time and having a sexual experience.  It doesn't necessarily have to be sex or a BJ either.  I love erotic massage with a nice happy ending as well.  I am certainly not looking for love or another partner and I would like to stay my wife for the rest of my life, but I think it would only be possible if I'm able to continue having side action.  Maybe I'm different, but as a man, I just don't think it's possible to go through life only having 1 partner for 50+ years.  I'm just glad that sometimes I love a long HJ much more than BJ or sex, so I can keep things safe and not introduce an STD into our marriage, but at the same time, still get some safe side action from time to time.

I thought I was punting mostly to break the routine, and find again the excitement of discovering some new bodies. However, I found out that I easily became a return customer when I particularly liked some features, and since a couple of my regulars vanished I often went home without any action. So without realising I might not have been punting for the reasons I believed. While it might have been for the addition of some dimension e.g. a kink, only performing with someone I knew and the fact that we were both having fun (that lasted many years) brought the sought-after “hygge” – at least as far as Hong Kong is concerned.

I've been with my wife for over 20 years since we are high school sweethearts. We did have breaks in between where we explored other people, but we got married pretty young.
The sex we have is pretty vanilla and the lovey dovey stuff. I want to explore other bodies without the relationship or the inconvenience of emotional connection. For me, I feel like I just need something physical. Granted my wife has a lovely face and nice body, I want to sample others in the market. We have intercourse about once a week and it is usually me who initiates, so sometimes I feel like it is one sided.
I do use a burner phone and mostly do CFS. I am very careful and planned things ahead. We do share our locations on iPhone, so I leave my phone at the office and come get it after the deed. I feel a bit of shame, but I do like the idea of having my own cake and eating it as well. This secret will go with me to the grave.

I'd turn the question around (though I know that the 80% of you guys on this site who are married will hate me for it). The real question is: "Why do you have a gf/wife/partner when all you really wanna do is punt?"

1 guy up above says he gets lonely without a relationship. Take it from me, the loneliness only lasts an hour or so until you reason through it all and remind yourself, "hell I'm gonna go find some snatch and there's no one to answer to but myself!"

But I'm still a purist (pure lust slave n pure cynic).

My problem is the opposite: I'm single, but with all you married bastards out chasing the talent, none of the girls I chase believe me when I tell them I'm not attached/living alone! Just when I'm getting close to a hit, they're always like, "so where is your wife tonight?" or "who are you living with?"

Wish you'd shit or get off the pot.

(Just jesting bros... Glad to see none of you take your nuptials too seriously. But I certainly aint never gonna marry, no f'ing way)

Variety is the spice of life.  We are hard wired to look for new things whether its new experiences, information and stimuli.  Variety in sex encompasses all of these.
