Pay For Play: a suggestion for an author challenge

One of my personal kinks that I've explored many times in my stories is the pay for play angle. In one form or another, sex in exchange for cash or perhaps a service/trade. Thinking it could make a decent idea for an author challenge. It's October so I wouldn't consider trying to launch this until next year, then its about seeing if there's a window between lit events and the many other author challenges.

But first I figured I'd feel out the forum (feel out, not up, you pervs.) and see if there'd be any interest.

Simple enough concept to follow, some ideas common for the subject:

Porn star
Escort
Massage parlors with happy endings
Dominatrix

Those would all fall under profession, but there can be one offs:

Paying the rent with sex
Propositioning the young babysitter or maid to make some money for some extra 'service'
Paying off a debt with sexual favors.

Basically any scenario where sex leads to money or perhaps personal financial gain. Example, sex for a promotion or raise could count.

A popular 'reality' porn site features female realtors having sex with prospective buyers to get them to buy the house so she can get commission.

Stories can work with either gender, and I imagine just about any category, including Taboo where a family member can be in need and the other family member says I can give you the money, but you need to earn it.

Any takers?
 
As this is pretty much the theme I write anyway, it would be churlish of me not to participate. So I'd do it
 
This is in my kinkhouse*, so I'd probably submit something

(*its a big house with lots of rooms, not all of them particularly well lit)
 
I think my most niche story is "paid by the foot" where lesbian coeds who need to come up with the rent go to a club where they know a guy with the nickname Mr. Foot goes around and will offer girls money to play with their feet. They play with each other's feet for him, then give him a double foot job for the amount of the rent.

This is based on a story my wife told me from back when she was in BU about a guy nicknamed 'The Foot Doctor' that prowled clubs in Boston offering $50 to jerk off on girl's feet. $100 if he could fuck their feet.
 
I've written lots of stories like this, and the site is packed with them.

My first impression is that it reminds me of that Omenainen event, the womens' empowerment one, in the sense that most of my stories fit that bill too. Enough that I don't see it as a reason to do a special event. On top of that, I'm one of those annoying people who think there are already a few too many events and challenges going on.

So good luck, but I'm out.
 
Or... how about a scheming woman married to a layabout, who pursues affairs to be impregnated by wealthier men for the child support. Income for 18-23 years.

Just wrote about it as a minor subplot, based on an actual case handled by a lawyer friend 40 years ago. Everybody knew what she was up to including all the lawyers and the judge... 'cept the guys she targeted. The winner (i.e., loser) was on the hook anyway, to the tune of $150,000 in 216 easy payments. Expensive prostitute.

Little bit of politics there, creeping into the erotica...
 
I think it's a good idea. It's inherently sexy and titillating, and it offers lots of possibilities for playing with taboos, legal restrictions, etc.

I've got two stories in very early stages that more or less fit this challenge.

One idea is about an ordinary suburban dad whose wife decides to rent him out to her unhappily married and sexually repressed friends. He surprisingly finds himself becoming the stud of the neighborhood.

Another is "Whore for a Day" about an upscale but financially troubled woman whose car breaks down in Northern Nevada and has to spend a day at a brothel to pay the repair bill.

Thanks for the Shark Tank response :LOL:
 
Explain. There did happen to be politics lurking in the background of the IRL case, but I made no mention of it.
Sorry, I wad being somewhat tongue in cheek. There was a British comedian, Ben Elton, who used to be deeply political and would use that line in the middle of one of his rants. From the way you described in just now it seemed to be more about the injustices of the child support system rather than being actually steamy.
 
Mine’s only a few hundred words right now, but I think it’s kind of fun. Rent Control: landlord falls ass backwards into “blackmailing” his tenant for rent money… except he never asked, she just assumed, and he went with it. Two years later, they’re both too invested in their roles to admit it’s just each of them indulging in their own shared, “secret” kink, even as she gives up more and more control of her life to him.
 
Would it matter if it's not sex that's exchanged but it's still an exchange of cash for pleasure and is sexual in nature?

Because if so, I have one that would fit this already written and is based on a real event.

I tend to agree with this. Witness the recent thread on stories based on music. I have thought it might be reasonable to have challenges spaced out to every other year so as to not crowd the calendar too much.

As to the original theme, it does have some potential. Run it up a flagpole and see if Laurel salutes.

Where would you put strippers? Hooters waitresses? People who sleep with the boss to get ahead? How about (not a joke) fashion models? The P. Diddy case makes me think of up-and-coming musicians who sleep with established performers or producers to get a contract. Do groupies fall into your kink, or your contest?

Overall I think this is a good idea for a challenge - there are loads of possible subjects, and angles within those subjects. I can certainly see myself thinking of something to submit.

But... we've already had 12 open challenges this year, plus the contests, so I wonder how we might slide this into the calendar. Maybe if something else got bumped, I suppose...

Thanks. Actually, the whole thing was incredibly salacious and the case absolutely fascinating, which is why I recall details. My lawyer buddy would regale me "with the latest" whenever we went out for a beer or two. Multiple targeted men, two other children (previous by her husband... they assumed...), a secret divorce executed in another county, her attempts to kill the guy's girlfriend, and eventually discovered, a horse getting a piece of the action. No kidding. A pony, really, but still. Can't have that in a LitE story!

From everything he told me, she was a major piece of work. Oh... and her state-appointed lawyer subtly suggested the easiest resolution to the case was to hire a hit man and assume custody. He hated her, too.

The politics part was where the county and then the state welfare agencies tried to make the case go away four times, relying on a bit of legal doctrine that assigned presumptive paternity to the husband, who she still lived with. But the feds held their feet to the fire by threatening to cutoff federal funding if they didn't follow through. Their interest was in making the case a test for early DNA tech to assert paternity versus the traditional doctrine, which was previously preferred in prioritizing family integrity for the children.

In the reminiscing, a fleshed-out version of this story could be best-seller material under the right author. That ain't me.

Strippers definitely count in both working the pole and working the um...pole in the back room.

I'm not sure groupies count they don't look for money.

I'm passing on commenting on the other topic. That's up to you
 
Roadies probably do, though, and that can interact in interesting ways with groupies.
I was thinking it could be twisted, fans that didn't get noticed paying for access to the band for sex. Maybe an older woman after a boy band. Attractive MILF, but not the usual fare to be invited backstage. Pays off someone in security for access. Once in she takes charge and puts herself into the role of Domme. There's reluctance, but ultimately surrender to her commands.

So, she pays to domme a boy band.
