AROUND 100,000 men visit prostitutes in the Balearic Islands each year, it has been revealed.

Some 2,350 female prostitutes work on the islands in an industry worth €50 million annually.

According to the new report  from The Study Group for Prostitutes on the Balearic Islands (GEPIB), 5,000 local men pay for sex five or more times a month.

Around 15,000 men visit prostitutes three or four time a month while 25,000 do so around once a month.

The study also revealed that 600 of the women are forced to sleep with men 20 times a week or more.

It went on to say that Spain’s economic recession had seen a rise in women aged 40 or over turning to prostitution to pay bills.
