why pay more?

Quote:
The number of men paying women for sex has nearly doubled in a decade, UK research shows.

Surveys of 11,000 British adults in 1990 and 2000 found the rate increased from one in 20 to nearly one in 10 men.
So I'm curious as to why - any comments..?!!

Watching the BBC as I type and thats all they have been talking about the last hour. Seems that they have a new low cost airline going to Latvia and loads of guys are flying there for the weekend and "supporting the local economy" and they are not just talking about the resturants!

Now the ladies are coming to the UK and setting up shop and its causing a problem.

Personally I am just not into renting someones services for an hour or the night, its just not what I want or need. Have had enough sex for the rest of my life, but hope not to stop making love until I die. The 70's were good to me in that area and cannot think of anything else I need to experience so home that someday I can be like Hugh and find a lady to enjoy life with.

Jeez that sounds so sappy... but its true.

An engineer in training fresh out of college that worked at the same place as I once came in on a Monday bragging about the awesome blowjob he got from a stripper for $200. A girl in the office blurted out, what a waste of money.

He went on to break down how much it would cost him to get a blowjob from a date. Figuring it would not happen until 3rd date he would have invested over $300 in a date.

Of course, he was not factoring in STD's.

As a transplanted Brit I resent that comment coming from a country that sells David Hasselhoff as a sex symbol

Not to everyone, just to the Germans...'cause they are gullible enough to buy it.
