...company lurks n perks....maybe it was in their employment contract like a company car...

I'm sure it happens with other companies too....there are business men who like their masseurs/hookers when they travel and it is taken as a given to provide them...it is seen as the norm ... well at least to have contact details of reputable ones in case their services are needed

I have read that business women have been getting into it as well when they travel...it's not longer totally a mans world
