Three men confess they regularly sleep with prostitutes because their wives are pregnant, they want more bondage and chatting girls up is too much effort

WHEN Peter James boards the plane for his summer holiday to San Antonio this summer, he won't be thinking about the sun, sea and sangria awaiting him.

The 25-year-old computer engineer, is focused on one thing - how many prostitutes he can sleep with while he's there.

That stat is all the more shocking when you consider that tens of thousands of UK prostitutes are sex trafficking victims.

In 2017, 1,115 women were identified as sex slaves, a number the National Crime Agency says represents just a fraction of those trafficked into the country.

Punters may not have had any way of knowing the women had been trafficked.

Despite prostitution being legal, cases like this coming to light mean most men don't admit buying sex.

Here, three blokes reveal why they have.

'Packs of women can be intimidating'

Marketing manager Peter James, 25, is currently single and lives in Bristol. He first paid for sex with a prostitute three years ago in Amsterdam’s Red Light district.

“I was on a lads' weekender holiday. There were a dozen of us and we all went to sleep with a prostitute. It’s something you can say to the lads, ‘been there, done that.’

“The girls are gorgeous. The one I chose had an amazing body and was stunning. She knew exactly what to do to turn me on.

"But we were done and dusted in a quarter of an hour. Five minutes after I was out the door she was back in the window looking for someone else. I had to laugh about it.”

Peter, 25, claims those 15 minutes were ‘expensive’ at over £100.

“Even though the sex was good I could tell she was just doing it for the money. While a lot of my mates enjoyed it – when I thought about it afterwards I wasn’t that impressed.

“But that’s what sex abroad is like. Anything goes.

“I didn’t think about the rights and wrongs. When you’re away it’s the kind of thing you just have to do when you’re with the lads.”

Peter reckons paying women for sex is the easiest option.

“Sometimes it’s a lot less stressful than trying to strike up a conversation with regular girls.

"If I’m out-out with the lads and there are a group of attractive women it can be intimidating. It is hard to chat them up when they’re in a pack.

“I’ve got loads of friends who are girls and they’d be shocked to realise that guys like me do this.

"They think because we’re easy on the eye we don’t need to – but there is something about the financial transaction that makes it so much easier.”

“While I was there I did pull two different girls.

“It’s not hard but you have to go through the whole ritual with them.

"First you have to buy her a few drinks, chat to her about everything and anything she wants to gossip about. Finally you get to go back to hers and have sex with her.

“I’d never plan it – but it is so much easier to pay for sex at the end of a night out rather than having to go through the motions of chatting a girl up.

“Ibiza is packed with stunning looking women on the game. Is it easier to pay for sex than to try and pull? When you’ve had a few too many to drink and it’s late – absolutely.

“It’s less stress and less hard work.

“One night I was on my way home when some guys beckoned me over to a bar. I was drunk so followed them inside. I saw loads of amazing-looking girls.  Everyone was dressed in underwear. A few came straight over me, I ended up with the one who came over first.

";She was the kind of pole-dancer you see in movies with a fantastic body and totally stunning.

I didn’t think about the rights and wrongs. When you’re away it’s the kind of thing you just have to do."

“The sex cost £40 and it was fantastic. It was an unforgettable experience with an incredibly good-looking woman. I didn’t have any complaints.

“Who wouldn’t want to relax with guaranteed good sex with a hot girl at the end of a night?”

While Peter is happy to pay for sex when he is on holiday he claims it is something he wouldn't do at home.

“I wouldn’t ever be tempted to turn to a prostitute for sex in the UK. It’s only when I’m on holiday. I’m in different frame of mind the moment I board the plane. All bets are off then.”

'My girlfriend is gorgeous - but I have urges'

Simon, 25, who works in the car industry has a girlfriend. They have been living together for the last three years.

“My girlfriend Debbie is gorgeous. She ticks every box. She is smart, funny and she has a successful career as a personal trainer.

“She enjoys sex just as much as I do but when you do it with the same person day after day it become a bit vanilla.

"I'm sure if I made suggestions about what I wanted to try Debbie would be up for it. But at the end of the day it would still be me and Debbie having sex.”

This is why, reckons Simon, 25, he prefers to pay for a ‘no strings’ arrangement.

“There isn’t any emotional investment in a financial transaction. It isn’t going to go any further. She isn’t going to hassle me or turn up at my home.

"That is why I would never risk a one night stand. Paying a prostitute means I can get those urges out of my system.”

Simon, who lives in Leicester, estimates he pays for sex every ‘couple of months’ and that Debbie has never been suspicious.

“I’m on the road in the week. We check in with each other several times a day. Whenever I get the urge it’s like a scratch I need to itch.

"Most of the time watching something online suffices. But there are those evenings when I want to do something different, some bondage or S&M. There are women who don’t bat an eyelid at this.

“I couldn’t talk to Debbie about it. She might laugh or even worse tell her mates. That would kill our social life and probably spell the end of our relationship too.

“I pay £250 a time and it’s worth every penny. I’d hate Debbie to know but experimenting with a prostitute has given me some of the best sexual experiences of my life.

“If most blokes are honest they wouldn’t turn it down either.

"The last one I paid was clean, she was sexy, I had an hour of fantastic sex with a really hot woman and there were no strings attached.

"I get what I want without hurting anyone’s feelings.”

'Me and my mates use the same prostitute - I do it when my wife is pregnant'

HGV driver, Michael, 35 is married to Michelle, 40, an admin worker. They have three kids and live in Coventry.

Michael reckons he is justified in paying for sex because when his wife is pregnant she won’t let him near her.

Michael says: “Each time my other half has been expecting she has a rough ride. If she’s not throwing up then her hormones are all over the place.

"She has made it perfectly clear that the last thing she wants is me guilt-tripping her into bed.”

Instead Michael has an arrangement with a ‘girl’ at one of his local drinking haunts.

“A few of the lads know she is up for a financial deal in exchange for oral or full-on sex," he says.

"It’s win-win. She gets paid cash in hand. I don’t run the risk of looking online or cruising in dodgy areas either. It’s a simple arrangement and no one gets hurt.”

Michael doesn’t feel any guilt – because she put the business proposition to him.

He says: “Like most women, she knows the score at my place. She has her own family and is raising a couple of kids too.

"She has zero interest in me on a romantic level and the feeling is mutual. It is weird knowing she's been with my mates. But then there is the safety in numbers vibe too. We trust her and she trusts us.”

Michael says when his wife isn’t pregnant they have an ‘amazing’ sex-life.

“It is very mechanical when I pay for it. It’s like she is just going through the motions. I try not to think about it," he says.

“I don’t know if she orgasms - that hasn’t crossed my mind. In fairness it’s about me, not her.

"The sex is over dead quickly and I have zero guilt when I zip up my jeans. It means I go home and be the family man my wife expects.”
