The piece of information we are about to share with you might look like a plot straight out of a cheesy sex comedy, but it's not. This is a sad reality.

Women in Russia are offering sex in exchange of manual labour, and that includes services rendered by plumbers, car mechanics, handymen, etc. According to a report by Daily Mail, the 'new trend' in the Buryatia, in eastern Siberia, is blamed on falling income levels in Vladimir Putin's country.

"In fact, due to the economic crisis, sex is being used to pay for traditional services. There are even are special online communities for this purpose," stated the report.

However, it's surprising that this new form of barter system is being advertised online, with women flooding the digital communities looking for men, who are ready to work in exchange of sex.

Unfortunately, the reason why a trend such as this is thriving in the region is due to shortage of cash, failing economy, and humongous loans. And a quickie in place of currency seems to be the only way out for the women in Buryatia. And not to mention, there is no dearth of men ready to work for the payment offered.

For instance, a man called Artur Konstantinov took to the website, which has been specially created to advertise the trend, offered to deliver stacks of dry logs for firewood and asked to be paid according to the conditions implied by the portal. And he's not alone.

Another man named Dmitry Trifonov posted his full-blown resume on the website, offering services like electrical wiring, putting together furniture, fixing home appliances, setting up PC, and plumbing in exchange of sex.

Women, on the other hand, choose to remain anonymous, but are ready to conform to the conditions in return of household services. A sad reality indeed.
