Nookie? It's gonna cost you. But whether that cost is in the form of condoms, taxi rides, or that wonderful social lubricant known as Pabst Blue Ribbon [1] is up to you.

Nerve.com [2] asked nine people to track their sex-related budgets for one month and the results range from 0$ to hundreds of dollars per week.

The costs [2] are what you'd expect: a lot of food, a lot of alcohol, a lot of text messages. An engaged couple surprised us by spending $73.43 on "a longer whip and nipple clamps," [3] while a young gay man spent $20 on Valium [4] before a date. An epic amount of money is spent on hotel rooms, online dating [5] (from LavaLife to gay.com) and one young woman spends $239 on laser-hail removal!

Damn, I'm downright thrifty compared to these people! The last time I hooked up with a guy, it "cost" me a grand total of $4 in subway fare: our date-activity was a free public event and he paid for the beer and ice cream afterward. Happy recession, everybody!
