A survey of students suggested that one in 25 undergraduates have tried adult work, including sugar dating by going out with older men, selling used underwear and having sex for money. [...]
The proportion of those asked - who had done some kind of adult work - was double the proportion of the previous year.
An additional 6% of students said they would try adult work if they needed emergency cash.
Nearly four in five students worried about making ends meet, according to the survey which was published in August. [...]
"Adult work can feel isolating because of the stigma attached to it, meaning that if the student has a negative or dangerous experience they might feel unable to talk about it, leading to a deeper sense of loneliness," she said.
