Anyone here ever been offered ANY sexual service in the UK for £5 ?
Yes - only once, had an offer of full sex for £5 about 7 years back. She didn't look like a whore, young but slightly plump, only average looks, didn't take her up on it as had a FWB thing at the time. Happened on a residential street near Slough.
It's became less common recently as I don't go out as much these days, but from about 2000 - 2015 I used to get approached by women offering sex about once every two years. Except the one time though, it was always for a bit more than a fiver, or they didn't specify the price. Mostly the approaches happened in broad daylight, & not in RL districts AFAIK. I guess this happens to me more than some of you mainly as I walk a lot & rarely use car; also as I have an approachable/friendly demeanour & a punterish look (balding) etc.
As to the survival sex story, I find that entirely believable. There's lots of reports out there tracking over 100,000 suicides & deaths due to benefits cuts since the Tories got in. Some women are always gong to sell their bodies before it gets that far. (Yeah there's food banks but those can't always give everything a person needs)
They're in a minority, but even among young women there's still some out there who aren't internet savvy, they don't know the professional ways to sell sex.
From a punters perspective it's annoying as by definition the girls who don't know the market price for sexual services are not going to know how to market themselves online, & sometimes won't even know where their local red light district is, if they even have one. So sometimes blind luck is the only way to link up with them...
