NEW York's Governor spent up to $US80,000 ($85,000) on prostitutes who he asked to not wear a condom, it has been reported, as sordid details emerged in the sex scandal that threatens to hound him from office.
Eliot Spitzer became embroiled in the scandal on Tuesday when it was reported that he was linked to a US probe into a prostitution ring.
Mr Spitzer was caught on a listening device spending more than $4000 at the Emperor's Club call girl service.
Anonymous officials involved with the case have now been reported by the Associated Press as saying that Mr Spitzer had spent as much as $US80,000 with the service.
It is not clear over what time period that would have been, but the $4000 was reported to have paid for one night with a prostitute named Kristen with credit left over for future sessions.
That suggests Mr Spitzer made at least a couple of dozen visits to the prostitution service.
On the night of the visit with Kristen, Mr Spitzer booked two hotel rooms - one for him and one for her. He then slipped away from his security agents and met her in her room.

That’s either some really bad writing or else we are talking about boy prostitutes, not girls.
Just makes the story a little better...
Kind of an awkward opening sentence...unless Eliot has something else to tell us, that is.
He’s a fool. Should have got interns.
Aw, ya beat me to it!
(Great minds think alike :)
Dang! All it cost me when I was single was a good meal and a few drinks...
A powerful, famous man with an intelligent, beautiful wife pays the price of a small home for sex? What’s wrong with this picture?
It sounds like Spitzer spent $80,000 just with the Emporer’s Club. I have heard he also used other prostitution services.
$85,000? Heck I’ve easily spent at least that on sex, which tells you how expensive a happy marriage is- for me at least.
85Gs for the old in-out, in-out?
No.
We need pics of the ho to ascertain guilt or innocence, your honor.
I’ll be staggered if it doesn’t appear soon!
Next it'll come out he liked to smoke a cigarette afterwards. He's toast.
Did he pay a carbon tax for the extra CO2 that he generated during coitus?
When I was stationed outside of Tokyo in early 60's, it was "reported" (as I would not know from personal experience, of course, lol) that the price for a "quickie" was about $1.75 and if you wanted the "hostess with the misters" to "luv you long-time" i.e., all night long, it was a whopping, $5.00.
It was much the same in other places I visited including Hong Kong, Manila, Saigon, Bangkok, etc.
Of course that was a long time ago
All kidding aside, as a Seasoned Citizen who has been married twice and who has "been around," I can only wonder what is so special about a "working girl," that she can command that kind of remuneration?
I am reminded of a saying I have heard over the years remarked by men regarding women, who would withhold their affections for any various reason, and that was "Honey, 'that's' not made of gold and the gold rush is over."
You could to a nice Kitchen/Bathroom renovation for $85,000, which could work just as well...
