69-year-old divorcee from Bristol has had three previous naked cleaners
Claims the women, who must clean in the nude, always enjoy the work
He said: 'It's not illegal. I'm not harming anyone. I'm just a voyeur'
A self-confessed 'voyeur' pensioner is advertising in his local newsagents for a £20-an-hour nude cleaner and has received around 11 applications a week.
The 69-year-old divorcee from Bristol, who only wants to be known as John, has placed an advert in a newsagents as he seeks his fourth employee in as many years.
His demands are simple: wash the dishes, a bit of dusting and general tidying - all naked and in return they get paid above the market rate.
The former land surveyor, whose closest friends are unaware of his adventurous housekeeping, said there was 'nothing sexual' about the scenario

John, who divorced his wife 24 years ago, said he enjoyed getting to know the women and slammed 'left-wing feminists with nothing else to say' who have criticised his adverts.
He said: 'I'm not doing anything illegal. I'm not harming anyone. I'm a voyeur, in the truest sense of the word.
'If I was a pervert, I would use an escort agency. If I wanted sex, I would go to a red light district.
'Demeaning to women? I don't think it is. I think that is pathetic actually.
'Often they say to me after their first shift: "That was not as bad as I thought it would be". I get to know them and become friends.'
John, who lives in Bristol with his rescue cat, Noodles, said he was first inspired to look into hiring a naked cleaner after a conversation with an old friend in London.
He said: 'We are very open-minded about life. As I drove home, I had a think about it and the idea grew on me.
'By the time I got back, I had thought about placing my advert at the local newsagent but I wondered if they would accept it.
'They said it was fine because it wasn't rude. I had 11 replies within a week. I spoke to them on the phone and whittled it down to about four who I then met over a coffee.
'One was a bit too much of a Page 3 girl for me. They had to be over-30, up to the age of 55. The lady I picked was 35 and she was with me for 18 months.'
John's first cleaner left when her husband got a promotion and the couple moved to Gloucester.
Undeterred, he moved quickly to find a replacement, and recruited another woman - a teacher.

John said: 'I got fewer replies the second time. Then the teacher quit because she had read about other teachers who were sacked for working in the sex industry.
'It's not so much about the money for the ladies. It's the sense of adventure, for both parties. I don't want them to do it because they need the money.
'After that, I decided to give up, but that didn't last long. I had a very nice third woman but she's gone off to Portsmouth now and that's why I've stuck a new advert up.'
John described his everyday life as 'ordinary' - he likes a drink in the pub, he is part of a quiz team, and he volunteers at a charity twice a week.
And after his cleaner had finished work, he likes to sit down and share a glass of wine with them - but nothing more.
He said: 'There are dozens of ways I could pay for woman. It is not a sexual kind of thing. I'm a voyeur, I accept that. No-one knows about it. It is a personal thing.
'I'm not embarrassed. If someone asked me: 'Are you that person?' I would answer honestly'.

John's friend in London is still the only person who knows about what goes on behind closed doors at his house.
He said: 'I look for somebody who is interesting physically and somebody who has a life. Someone who feels happy within themselves.
'I think humans are interesting in all shapes and sizes. but a person's personality shines through when they are in the nude.
'We all have things we would like to improve. I disagree with cosmetic surgery.'
John has no plans to curtail his hobby any time soon, and has already had two responses to his most recent advert - along with multiple pranksters.
John said: 'I am going to keep having an adventure. Some people may think what I'm doing is wrong, and they are entitled to their opinion.
'But if I was some sort of dirty old pervert, why would I not do something more sexual?
'Yes I am a voyeur, yes I like to look at women, but I am not doing anything illegal. I am certainly not forcing the women to do anything.
'Two of the old cleaners still text me to this day to check up on me. I would recommend it to everyone.'
