Input: "I had to enter a 'sex-for-rent' arrangement after I was on the streets for two months," he said. "I never thought I'd end up homeless and desperate. I had a reasonable job as a manager at a private car hire company, but when the business was taken over, I wasn't needed any more. "I found an advert [online] that offered a room for rent between zero and £300 per month. That was the first clue. "I was too proud to approach friends for help and have not had a good relationship with my family since I came out as gay. "I tried to get help from the local council but I was told I wasn't a vulnerable case, even though I was on anti-depressants and had a letter from my GP that I was seeking counselling. "I felt I had no alternative but to respond to the advert. "It was obvious when I went to see the landlord that there was going to be a deal involved. I was told, this is the rent, and we'll share a bed. It started off as an arrangement where I would have sex with him two to three times a week. "It wasn't pleasant. It was survival. I did what I had to do to survive. "Soon he brought other men home to share me, or they would have sex while I slept on the floor. He started hosting sex and drugs parties. It all became a bit of a blur for about six months. "I eventually left London and another council put me in touch with a charity called Alabare that really helped me to get back on my feet. They arranged for a place to stay from 21:00 until 08:00 the next day. "I only spoke to one very close friend, eventually, who invited me stay with him in London until I found a place for myself. I feel very blessed to have him in my life. "As for the people who run the adverts, for better or worse, they are providing a home. However it is taking advantage of vulnerable people. I can only imagine the mess it would make for someone much younger than I was. "My confidence is coming back gradually. I've turned my life around now. I'm training to be a counsellor - which is both rewarding and therapeutic. I really want to help homeless people because I know how it feels. "You literally have nothing apart from what you carry with you. You tend not to sleep in the evening because it's not safe - it's safer to sleep in the day. You don't have a fixed address so you don't get benefits. You pretty much get left to your own devices. "Looking back, I wish I hadn't been so proud, and had asked friends for help when I was homeless." Interview by Sherie Ryder, UGC and Social News team
