Sex and in some cases cut price crack.

We sure have. Standing on the kerb at night, waiting for a taxi to take me from the office to the pub, far too many vehicles would slow down and drivers/passengers would stare or make inquiries. Maybe it was my long hair or my propensity for wearing drag. Probably it was just my languidly elegant posture.

They get laid without the hassle of a relationship. As an American drinking buddy used to tell me: "I aint payin' them for the sex. I'm payin' them to f**k off in the morning."

At 20 years of age, of course you can't fathom what men get from hiring a whore, you young, virile, ever-erect, young pup, you! But it's early days yet, 'cos when you get to my age - you won't be able to fathom why you did!
First of all loved the comeback jokes!
Secondly I understand it's for lonley people or someone who just wants sex but it's the fact it's a complete stranger and they could have God knows what STDs and other crap.
Probably the way I was raised (I'm not against it by the way) but I can't imagine doing it!

When you get drunk and horny in a bar and meet a drunk horny girl and decide to have a one-night stand, she's a complete stranger and she could have God knows what STDs and other crap. Hence practice safe sex.
I was also raised to regard the notion of prostitution as something quite abhorrent or at least unfortunate. But in my second year of university, I moved into a share-house, of which the lease-holder and sole other occupant was a very sexy fourth-year pure maths student. Within a week she had seduced me. She later revealed that her night job was working as a prostitute in some sort of high-class "gentlemen's club". At least I learnt at a young age the folly of falling for a prostitute. A few years later I accepted money from wealthy, older Chinese women wanting sex. Didn't enjoy it too much (as some were a bit deficient in the looks and personality departments), and it also interfered with my work/drinking routine - and I didn't really need the money. It was just something to experience. Heh! Sitting in a bar, happily drinking beer, reading a book and smoking cigarettes - and a woman comes in, pays your bar tab, stuffs $150 down the front of your undies and leads you to her waiting car. Yes, I was cheap.

Maybe he wouldn't particularly want to do that either!

Not so - unless the following was in jest:
Quote: Paul W @ October 9 2009, 8:19 AM BSTI did once consider joining a dating site when I was about 18 (after losing all my weight because women scared the shit out of me) as a sort of joke but not really sort of way, but thought I would give the normal way a try, get drunk and go for anything with a pulse.
Ahhh, eagle eyes!
I should read things now and again.
Hmm. This thread took a sort of bleak turn 
Taking a bleak turn?
We Brits lead at that as well.
A close friend of mine just returned from London after spending 3 weeks there visiting family and she informed me that she lost 15 lbs. because she couldn't eat your food. Everything was coated in thick sauces or glazes. Tim, you were right.

Most American tourists, to be frank, balk at anything that doesn't resemble the food they have at home. They seem to have the picky palates one normally associates with 5 year olds. That's why McDonalds have to be standardised and available in every city. (No offence! I'm sure your friend just had particularly bad luck. 
)
Oh, that reminds me... hypocrisy! We've brilliant at that as well. 
She was telling me that they were returning to the hotel and had to return using a different route due to an accident or something and came in by the kitchen entrance. She saw an open basket of hard rolls sitting in the back of a delivery truck (it was raining slightly) and a large soggy looking box labeled "MEAT". That was when her self imposed hunger strike began.
Never thought about eating out?
