That poor, poor lady...

[MissTaken]

Perhaps this has been done, but I was imagining the plight of a single mom who is facing serious financial hardship.

She sleeps with the electic man to keep her electricity turned on.

She sleeps with the phone guy when he comes to disconnect her.

She sleeps with the manager of the local grocery story.

And sleeps with or even submits to her landlord to keep her and her children in housing.

I can even imagine some humor in the situation, if at all possible.

Any thoughts?

edited to add that she does all this sleeping around as she is too proud to go to her local social services for assistance.

Pathos never plays sexy to me, and an uplifting ending may be too " Touched by an angel". Be interesting ti see it played for humour, if that could be done given the woman dignity.

dunno, the 'poor but proud' thing strikes me as....I dunno, a bit degrading or patronizing. Like, she's too proud to accept assistance, but she'll get on her knees? Much better I think if she's snappy, sassy, and an honest whore, and blackmailing the guys on top of it for, say, extra dough for Christmas gifts for the kids.

Good point, peachy.

Sassy and silly could make for some humor in a tricky situation

or


turn the story around to feature the phone dude getting lucky with a variety of female customers facing disconnection.

yeah, I think this idea is great.

At first, she has sex with all this guys. Either each one of them has something special (like a mole or a scar), or she uses a hidden camera. Anyway, she tells this guys: I had sex with you. Give me some more money, or I will tell your wife.

This works all the time, except for this one time, when the guy (the milkman) replays: I am not married. (or: my wife is open minded, she knows that I fuck with you for money)
.... maybe now he could blackmail her too. His brother (the gasman) told him that he is blackmailed by this woman. So now, the milkman puts up a trap. He has a hidden tape recorder. So the woman tries to blackmail him. He says: I am not married. But if you want, I can go to the police and tell them how you blackmailed me ... of course, if you have sex with me, I will forget about your blackmailing ...

This reminds me of the (true) story of the British politician who went to some conference in Russia during the Cold War and found his Intourist Guide very friendly.
As he was leaving from Sheremetyevo to go home the KGB showed him a dozen or more pictures they had taken and he studied them carefully.
"I like this the best," he said, "How much for a 10 by 8 print?"
"We will send your wife a set unless you spy for us."
"Good. She might divorce me then. I've wanted to get rid of her for years. Now I have a plane to catch."
