Sex Obligatory, Love Optional

In these five stories, women offer men sexual favors for practical reasons. There is no guarantee that they’ll find love. And, if they do, they may not fall in love the man that they are bedding.
In “The Lab Bunny Experiment”, young computer scientists are amazed when a woman offers her sexual favors, claiming no strings attached.
In “A Tale of Two Love Affairs”, a mother is so concerned with her shy son’s love life that she offers a preposterous bargain to the father of a pretty girl.
In “Addendum to Phoebe’s Manual of Practical Sex”, a man plots revenge by exploiting his ex-wife’s desire to reconcile.
In “Here’s Looking at You”, a wife suspects that her husband is a voyeur, secretly spying on her, and must decide if she wants to accommodate his desires.
In “A Rational Woman at Sea in a Fog”, a lawyer finds herself attracted to a wealthy young client but can find no way to save him from prison.

NOTE: Unlike most of Ashley Zacharias’s stories, these are not about masochistic women and do not contain any bondage, punishment, or submission.
