Prostitute users: young, married and professional

THE average person who uses prostitutes is a young, educated professional earning an average wage — and in 61% of cases he is married or in a relationship.

That is according to a survey by EscortSurveys.com who based its findings on the results of a detailed questionnaire filled in by more than 250 men who pay for sex.

The survey found 74% of the men were in third-level education, 74% were aged 25-44 years of age and most were earning between €30,000 and €50,000.
