Just to give you some background context: I'm a relatively wealthy man in my 30's. I was born very privileged and now have a "good job" (salary of £123,000 before tax) and I own my property in Zone 2 London mortgage free (Paid for by my family. In London, generally, Zone 1 is the "most affluent" part of the city, and Zone 9 is the "least affluent").
In June, I was at a party in the bar of a nice hotel in London, Knightsbridge. A party of similarly well-off, young, attractive people. We were drinking a lot, it was a nice time, though. Close to us was a table of middle-eastern men aged late 30's, early 40's, I'd say, and they got talking to my group. They were "fine", I guess. Nice enough, anyway, and they started paying for everything, so, our group was happy to keep them around, cause, well, why not.
One of the men was particularly quiet and awkward, just sort of sitting near us and watching. I'm a bit of an "adopter" so I tried quite hard to include him, which he seemed to appreciate. He spoke in a really quiet voice, in broken English, and wouldn't hold eye contact. Very shy.
When it came to the end of the night, only a few of us left, he paid the whole bar tab and asked me to stay a bit longer, so I did, and then he said I could see the view from his room, and I went. Even at this point, I honestly (SINCERELY) had no idea he had any intentions. He just didn't seem "the type", but when we got to his room he says that he likes me and thinks I'm sexy. I say I'm not interested and then, without a pause, he offered to give me £1,000 for oral sex. Immediately I'm shocked and say no but then he starts saying, in a way that seems super sincere, "I am a good man. I respect you. I do not mean unkindness. But I really find you sexy" etc.
I don't know...he kind of made it seem less objectionable in this way. I guess because my impression of prostitution is that it is inherently linked to violence or disrespect, but he was being really "nice" about it...anyway, 10 minutes later and he had given me £1,000 in cash and... we're doing it, and he was finished literally within, like, 7-8 minutes. He then thanked me and I left.
It felt a bit weird immediately after, but, truth be told, I had thought it would "matter" more to me than it does. It's just feels like "Whatever", you know?
So, now, months later, he messages me out of the blue on Instagram and says he is Mongolia (of all places) and wants me to visit him. He says he'll pay me £5k for three days of visit, and pay for first class flights. Anyway, I said "Yes" and leave on Wednesday morning.
It's just a funny turn-out, I guess. I didn't really see this coming. I definitely do not need the money, but, like, I don't know, it feels like turning it down would be stupid?
