High-flying career women in Britain and the US are paying for sex with male escorts, with some splashing out £150 an hour, or thousands if they stay for the weekend, reveals an academic survey.
Far from just being used by gay men, more than half of male escorts in the UK provide sex for women and couples, the research adds.
The number of professional women seeking sex has soared threefold in five years, with the average hourly rate being £150, while some are prepared to pay thousands if the escort stays for the whole weekend, the study found.
The US has the third highest number of male escorts worldwide, with the UK coming in third, with both nations having several thousands men sex workers each, the research adds.
Mexico has the highest number with 14,531 male escorts, followed by Brazil in second place, the study reveals.
