Paying for Sex

Highlighting some of the personal, financial and emotional costs of sex where there is no long-term commitment to the other partner, this is the second in a series of three public information bulletins from the 'Fair Sex' movement inspired by the book 'Just Sex: Is it ever just sex?' - a lesson plan with discussion questions will be uploaded to the Jubilee Centre website later this week, so watch this space!

According to the Jubilee Centre blog, "it has been estimated that the direct costs to the UK taxpayer of educational underachievement, crime, and benefits payments associated with family breakdown are around £37 billion per year that is, around £1,200 per taxpayer, more than the entire defence budget, half the education budget or a third of the NHS budget!"

Clearly an expensive past-time... wonder how much it costs individuals/ the taxpayer in total?

Some pretty interesting additional data you have in the accompanying lesson plan - guess I'll have to read the book now!
