These places are neither trendy nor expensive. And that is precisely the problem. 

I have always thought there was a market for high-class, high-quality escorts in Malta. Level 22 has been taken over by the desperate forties crowd, full of middle-aged MIRNFs (MI Rather Not F) hankering after bronzed Latino louts. 

The other places are full of the fattest, most unattractive, lowest ranking specimens of humanity you can find, buying fifteen-minute palpitations with the lower end of the Budapest-Bucharest spectrum, while their Maltese girlfriend is enjoying herself elsewhere.

It&#039;s a sight to strike the smile off the merriest of mortals.]]></description>

@ Baxxter 
I have never been - I lead a very simple life and these very trendy expensive exclusive places do not impress me. 

But considering that sex has become much more easy I am very surprised at the way people are behaving. There are times when I feel lucky that I am structured differently.  Your comparison is very proper.]]></description>

you have a point about coastguards and lifeguards. very well explained. from my experience in australia and also in parts of spain, the installation of cameras in some beaches, and the use of lifeguards have also deterred thefts and the things you mentioned in your blog too.]]></description>

&quot;We are giving the impression that we are a sexually starved nation.&quot;

This is an interesting observation. Have you ever been to Level 22 on a Saturday night? Or Stilletto, Steam, or whatever the other gentlemen&#039;s clubs call themselves these days? 

It&#039;s like watching Biafran children around the UN food truck.]]></description>

well, they have them in some places in spain, of all places, and well, there are coastguards too in places like Australia or the USA.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - You mean lifeguards. And they&#039;re there to save your life if you&#039;re drowning or being eaten by a shark, not there to make you put your clothes back on. Coastguards are not based on the beach. They&#039;re at a depot.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
