(LifeWire) -- While she was studying in Brazil during college, the one thing Stephanie Gerson longed to do before leaving was spend time in the thick of the Amazon rain forest. Unfortunately, she couldn't find a tour that would take her past the forest's edge.
Survey at college finds 27 percent of men and 14 percent of women willing to trade favors or gifts for sex.
So, when a college-aged busboy at a resort she was visiting began flirting with her, she asked him if he thought a tourist could survive alone in the jungle.
"He laughed and told me I was nuts," says Gerson, 27, who works part-time in online marketing for a chocolate company in San Francisco.
Then he told her that he'd grown up in the jungle in a nearby indigenous community. That was all Gerson needed to hear. Although she wasn't attracted to the guy, Gerson flirted right back in the hopes that he would be her jungle tour guide. It worked. The busboy wormed his way out of work, and the two headed into the rain forest.
"It was amazing," Gerson says of her adventure in 2000. "We built our homes out of palm leaves, I saw animals I'd never seen before, he taught me the medicinal properties of all the plants, we picked fruit off the trees, we swam with and ate piranhas. And, of course, we had sex ... for almost two weeks."

Somehow appropriate that this story takes place in a jungle.
Sounds like it’s headed back to it’s primordial roots to me.
“...we swam with and ate piranhas...”
Thats nasty...she probably will vote Omama
Wasn’t promiscuity a trait of furute individials in Huxley’s Brave New World?
furute=future
Like people have never scr*wed around before. What’s somewhat novel is their bragging about it to CNN.
I don’t believe the rain forest story, though. Have you read P.J. O’Rourke’s article about Peru?
Post Christian era followed by return to Neolithic values.
For years we have devalued sex, love and women. We have made sex a a commodity. So now, people are surprised? I’m not.
Same as it ever was, in fact. Although I'm surprised that only 27% of the men would give away sex for favors, as most college aged men seem to be quite willing to give it away for nothing.
Easier than writing her name on thousands of bathroom walls...
My personal observation is that women and men are getting a lot more mercenary with respect to sex/compensation etc ....
WHAT???? Women are willing to use sex to get what they want?????? Shocking! Shocking I tell you!! /S
Hope she visited her GYN to eliminate any other type of piranahs.../sarc

Good point. I didn’t see her phone number in the article, but with her name, location, and occupation, I’m sure some guys looking for an easy woman with some mileage on her will find it.
Re: Same as it ever was, in fact.
Disagree on this. I believe it is more of a statement on our culture. Been to other cultures and the young girls do not act as they do here.
I believe what is shocking (to me at least) is that a good percentage are not ashamed of their actions and will actually talk about openly.
Well...
Gadzooks! I'd put that percentage in Denver this week at 97% for Liberal Democrat men and 93% for Liberal Democrat women who, if truth be told, are generally too damn ugly to have sex with by any self respecting Conservative Republican.
