Brand lost virginity to prostitute

Russell Brand has revealed that he lost his virginity to a Hong Kong prostitute paid for by his father.

The comedian has admitted in his new autobiography My Booky Wook By Russell Brand that his obsession with women stems from his first sexual encounter.

Brand writes: "The episode that defined my relationship with women occurred in Hong Kong with my dad. I was 17.

"On day one we went to some sleazy dive. Before long I was sat on a bar stool with a Filipino called Mary-Lou. Then we were leaving in a cab with three Asian prostitutes my dad was drunkenly herding.

"Back in the hotel my dad set about unwrapping his two prostitutes. I sat on the edge of the other twin bed. She must have known I was a virgin as soon as the bungling encounter commenced."

The Radio 2 DJ adds: "In the course of that holiday I had sex with loads more prostitutes, never wore a condom and never fell in love.

"As my sexual appetite grew, I found myself engaged in an increasingly desperate quest to satisfy it."
