During any droughts in my younger days, I used to pay to have sex. It was better value than nightclubbing to find a girl for a one night stand: guaranteed success. And in Australia, because it's legal, the sex industry is quite good. There are plenty of working girls, and to succeed they have to be good, so you had a memorable hour or two. Most working girls were, and still are, part-time amateurs making more money than waitressing in a fast food restaurant.
The odd thing at the time was the sex I paid for was always better than the sex I got for free, even though the ages and demographics of the women were similar. But they wanted a good reputation or had pride in their job or something, so this sex was better relative to what they would do with their boyfriends. Strange.
