Sex for Services

The act of trading sexual favors for non-sexual favors: Having sex with someone who you wouldn't want to have sex with "for free", or pretend that you wouldn't have sex with "for free", in exchange for work, gifts, or similar. The whole thing may or may not be portrayed and/or perceived as really being a form of prostitution. This trade may be portrayed in a neutral manner, or it may portray either Alice or Bob as more or less a victim of the other. In either case, the act is often closely related to at least one other trope. Neutral versions (As in, they are either equally good or equally bad)

The act of trading sexual favors for non-sexual favors: Having sex with someone who you wouldn't want to have sex with "for free", or pretend that you wouldn't have sex with "for free", in exchange for work, gifts, or similar. The whole thing may or may not be portrayed and/or perceived as really being a form of prostitution. This trade is usually a heterosexual affair with Alice trading the sex and Bob trading the services, and thus we use the names that way. However, it can just as well be the other way around (with Adam trading the sex and Beatrice trading the services) or between two or more individuals of the same gender. This trade may be portrayed in a neutral manner, or it may portray either Alice or Bob as more or less a victim of the other. In either case, the act is often closely related to at least one other trope. Neutral versions (As in, they are either equally good or equally bad) * For Happiness: They both get something they want, and everyone is happy. Life is good. * Sex Is Evil: They both get something they want, and they are both immoral creeps. * Sex Is Evil and I Am Horny: They both get something they want, and they are both pitiful creeps. * Casual Kink: Any of the "poor Alice" or "poor Bob" variants below, but as a Safe, Sane, and Consensual sexual role-playing game. * Pizza Boy Special Delivery: The exchange is little more than an excuse for sex. "Unlucky sex-trader" versions * Entitled to Have You: Bob just keep nagging her about sex that she doesn't want, until she finally give in with an "okay, but at least do something for me as well". Alternatively, he does something for her first, and doesn't reveal until afterwards that the help actually came with a price tag. * Sexual Extortion: Sure, Alice is the one taking the initiative, but what choice do she really have if Bob is the only source of the medication her dying child needs, or whatever. (In regular Sexual Extortion, Bob pushes An Offer You Can't Refuse on Alice. * Manipulative Bastard: Bob weasels his way into Alice's bed with promises he never intends to keep and might not even be capable of keeping.) * Drugs Are Bad: Alice is addicted and will do anything to get her fix. "Unlucky services-trader" versions * A Man Is Always Eager: Alice use this to get whatever she want. * Manipulative Bitch: Alice makes sure to make eager Bob believe that he's getting sex, but she has no intention of going through with her end of the bargain. * Bastard Girlfriend: Alice gets poor Bob all worked up, and makes sure to to keep him frustrated in a way designed to delight the audience. * Henpecked Husband: They are married, and Alice uses "withholding sex" as a means to make sure that she have all the power in the relationship. "Portrayed either way" versions * Casting Couch: Actress Alice has to sleep with producer Bob to get the role. This is a Sub-Trope of Sex for Services, rather than a separate trope that can be used to portray it. * Compensated Dating: Alice is dating Bob, who she probably wouldn't be interested in if he didn't give her so cool stuff. For all of these variants, Alice is normally not a sex worker. Contrast Platonic Prostitution, where Alice is a sex worker and they don't have sex. Examples of Sex for Services include:
