Scarpia Ultimatum: Difference between revisions

* In the backstory of the ''Tide Lords'' novels, Arkady was given a choice of this type by the Duke of Lebec to save her father from prison. Unfortunately, while the Duke kept his word, Arkady's father died of natural causes before the release order reached the prison. Unusually, there was explicitly no sex involved in this example. The Duke was gay in a violently homophobic culture, so he needed a wife to act as [[The Beard]].

* In the short story ''[http://dailysciencefiction.com/science-fiction/disaster-apocalypse/will-mcintosh/free-lunch Free Lunch]'' Phoebe and her mother are trying to survive in a postapocalyptic society. A restaurant employee coerces Phoebe into having sex with him in exchange for food, and she starts to offer sex as payment for food every time they meet someone. When her mother finds out, she berates Phoebe and is ashamed of her, even though the food Phoebe got this way was all that was keeping them alive.
