One In Nine British Men Have Paid for Sex

A report say one in nine British men have paid for sex and likeliest to do so are 25 to 35-year-old in managerial or professional occupations, and those who have had a high number of partners. The research published in the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections , revealed that 3.6 percent of the 6,000 men surveyed admitted visiting prostitutes during the past five years.

The lead Dr Kath from University College London said," the picture that emerges does nor necessarily fit the stereotypes of the single lonely men. In fact men who pay for sex are more likely to be young professionals with many unpaid sexual partners. Many report other hedonistic and risky behaviours like drinking and drug taking. Among those men also were more than twice as likely as average men to have been diagnosed with sexually transmitted infections. Men who used prostitutes made up 15.6 percent of all reported STI diagnosis in male population.
