Posters have sprung up all over Andheri West blatantly advertising the sexual services of a young man. When this paper called the number advertised on a poster, a man picked up and stated, “I provide friendship.” Asked what kind of friendship, he replied, “Sexual fantasies for girls and women.”

The young male voice went on, “This service starts from Rs 999. It is only for females." When asked why he was offering these services he said, “I am weak in finance [financially weak]. I am a Std XII pass. I do not have much potential.”
