Even wealthy people will trade sex for goods.
I’m shocked! Shocked, I say!
What else is there to trade for sex? Only sex, I suppose. So I make this offer to all hot chicks – if you will have sex with me, I will have sex with you.
Plus, I will bring pie.
Pie, guffaw.
I’m here for any women who want to try and bribe me.
Hey now… I resent that…
I am not filthy…
That’s… that’s all I have really…
Carry on…
::Stands by off ramp with cardboard sign that reads “Will work for sex”::
hmmm… where might one obtain these so-called ‘provisions’?
Here’s your pizza sir.
Try the pantry.
Blowjob = dry goods
Sex = canned goods
Anal = tetra packs
Makes me wonder what they thought most human bonding was based on if not sex and trading stuff/favors? (Hell, if I’m honest, that’s a good 50% of my marriage right there!)
Now, I scoff, but it actually is interesting to me when these studies of things “everyone knows” come out, because we actually have data we can reference. (And occasionally we find out things everyone knows were wrong, of course.) It does strike me as a little odd they way they explain it–as though these people actually tried to set up a bald-faced exchange: “Some of the attempted trades included: tickets to the U-M versus Ohio State game; studying assistance; laundry washed; a Louis Vuitton bag; and voice lessons among other things.”
Now, I can see the studying assistance, voice lessons, and even the laundry washed, but the others strike me as something that would be gifts presented by the males after the fact. It seems like they were talking about a setup where a guy approached a woman: “I has a bag. Now sex plz?” Or the woman: “Want! I’ll give ya a blowjob for it.”
If that’s the case,* no wonder* the success rate was only 25%. 
Silly scientists. You gotta show a little class.
Even the wealthy, eh? I have this image of a woman in a cocktail dress holding up a sign that says, “Will take it up the ass for season tickets to the Metropolitan Opera.”
If that worked I would be digging through my closet for my cocktail dress, some poster board, and a magic marker right now.
Fascinating. Where were you when I was single and had season tickets to the Met?
Probably in grade school.
I’m 25 and I just moved to NYC a little less than a year ago. I don’t know when you had tickets, but I was certianly in TX and might have been very, very young. Looks like the timing didn’t work out for either of us lol.
I’m just glad that, despite the lagging US economy, barter is still a great way to get what you need.
Ouch! What an unfair assumption!
OK. Not so much an unfair assumption. 
My loss. A sexually adventurous opera fan. Just speaking from personal experience, your brethern (or sistern, I guess) were tough to find in the early nineties.
Still, I found one and married her, so it all worked out for me.
And I rather suspect if you were to dig that cocktail dress out of the closet, you’d have no dearth of takers, even without the ad.
Aw, now you are making me blush!
Actually I have a date on Sunday and he is taking me to see Candide, no sex required (anal or otherwise) so I am pretty excited about that. If I didn’t have a date who was already taking me to the opera though I would totally be out there with the rest of those ladies and their, “Will participate in a threesome in exchange for dinner at Tavern on the Green” signs.
Er, correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t the chick be bringing the pie?
475 university students can’t be wrong, especially when it comes to sex!
Good grief. What vague bullery.
I wonder what a stack of pancakes is worth?
Someone needs to repost the link to that craigslist where a girl offers some something something in exchange for some World Of Warcraft gold or some nonsense like that.
