Nearly 10pc ‘pay for sex’
`One British man in 11 has paid for sex, according to a study that appears today in Sexually Transmitted Infections, a specialist journal.
The findings are based on two national surveys on sexual habits, conducted among 6000 British men aged 16-44 in 1990 and among 4700 in 2000.
In 1990, 5.6 per cent of the men said they had paid for sex at some point during their lives, with 2 per cent saying they had done this within the previous five years, and 0.5 per cent within the previous year.
A decade later, the comparable figures were nearly double.’
