FRANCE. Paris. June 23, 2018. Radouan, 42, cook, divorced.
Radouan visited a prostitute for the first time when he was 17, which he thinks is quite late for a man. His girlfriend had left for the summer break and he was with his friends, who all went out with the same goal. He now keeps going because he’s divorced but very shy so has a hard time finding a woman to date. He says he is a good guy but women do not seem to trust him. He pays an average of 50 to 60 EUR (50 to 60 USD) for sex plus the hotel when it’s needed, and does it about twice a month, which he thinks is the norm for men of his age.
