A resident of an aged care home in a city with a flourishing university got a surprise this week when he answered a knock on his door. His callers were two twenty-somethingish young women, immaculately groomed, who asked him if he would help them with their studies by taking part in an opinion survey.
He invited them in and they quickly setup a question and answer routine. Let us call one Diane and the other Belinda. Diane was the confident, outgoing type who asked the questions and Belinda was more retiring, recording the answers on a tablet.
The questions ranged over topical matter concerning the state of the economy with heavy emphasis on the Sydney housing bubble and the likely aftereffects. It was very concerned with the personal views of the resident and as it progressed it moved on to the social changes that are taking place in this country. The legalising of Marihuana. The Gay marriage debate. Diane admitted that part of the survey was interested in attitudes to the sexual revolution that had taken place in recent years in this country.
Some of these questions took a rather personal tone. Eventually, Diane was edging onto the hidden agenda behind this survey. The two girls were studying at University and they had evolved a plan to at least pay the living costs and allow them a decent social life - and it involved sex.
Diane took the plunge - and her plan became a proposition ! The girls were looking to recruit four men who would sponsor their lifestyle in exchange for sex once a month for an entire year. This was based on the premise that the numbers would involve a single night of sex just once a week. They had a nice unit in a better part of the city and they proposed to pickup their customer and drive him there for an overnight stay. In the morning, he would be driven home in time for breakfast.
Of course this raised the question of remuneration and Diane insisted that they would require a three thousand dollar up-front payment to cover the whole year. It then became clear that both Diane and Belinda intended to recruit four such " clients " each, hence each would earn twelve thousand dollars with a combined total of twenty-four thousand. Enough to embellish a very reasonable lifestyle in exchange for one night of " duty " each week.
She explained their thinking when it came to aged care residents. Some would have sold valuable homes and have a degree of wealth at their disposal. Those still interested in sex might welcome being pampered by a young woman who catered to their tastes and provided a service that was utterly discreet. There was also a safety aspect. There was a reduced chance of violence from the older aged group.
The resident was bemused as to how he had been chosen. Belinda explained that evaluation involved discreet questioning of aged care home staff to exclude the unlikely. The oldest of sales techniques then came into play. It was suggested that the quote had been almost filled - and a decision was quickly required.
A few enquiries revealed that this form of " Sugar Daddy " exploitation is rife, but that Diane and Belinda are simply picking the low hanging fruit. Many set their charges from a single donor and have the expectation of emerging from their course debt free after enjoying a luxury lifestyle paid by their benefactor. Interestingly, this does not break any current laws. Sex for sale is now a legitimate industry !
