Stories The Child and Women Abuse Studies Unit at London Metropolitan University interviewed 137 men who admitted buying sex in east London's Spitalfields. It found that two thirds of the men consider it to be just another form of shopping, requiring ease of access and value for money. One said "It’s just like going to Tesco's". The report, called "It’s Just like Going to the Supermarket", concluded that the prevalence of Internet pornography, images of women in magazines like Zoo and Nuts which are aimed at young men, and the growing number of lap dancing and pole dancing clubs (and their prominent advertising) have enhanced young men's view of sex as a commodity. The report concludes that "For the growing category of men who view buying sex as a form of mainstream consumerism as leisure or entertainment, there is no shame."
