Reported on Gawker, CNN is polling for a story around if people have bartered services for sex. Such as ‘assembling Ikea shelves’

People have done this? I can’t believe how much sex I am currently owed! Thank goodness for all those allen wrenches!

From the poll question:

“Have you ever used casual sex (outside a committed or dating relationship) to get someone to assemble that Ikea shelving unit you just bought, help you move, do your taxes, edit your masters thesis, cut you a deal on the rent, or any other favor? Or have you seduced the UPS delivery guy/gal, contractor renovating your kitchen, or any other laborer working in your home (and perhaps even got a discount on the work they were doing in the process)? If so, I want to hear from you: did your bartering tactic work, how did you feel after the fact, and have you used sex as a bartering tool again?

I also want to hear from those who’ve had sex offered to them in exchange for a favor (even if you weren’t asked to do the favor until after the fact) or contractors, landscapers, and the like who’ve been hit on while doing a job in someones home. What was the outcome? Did you go for it? Did you do the favor or cut them a price break after the fact? Did this lead to any later headaches or did everyone come away with what they wanted?
