A few months ago, I ended up in a situation I still can’t fully wrap my head around. I met this woman (34F) through mutual friends—she’s wealthy, blunt, and honestly, not my type at all. After some drinks, she pulled me aside and offered me $2,000 to sleep with her, saying it was part of a “control kink.”

I don’t need the money, but curiosity got the better of me, and I said yes. The whole thing was awkward and transactional, like I was just a prop in her game. She handed me the cash after and made a joke about “getting her money’s worth.”

Now, I can’t stop thinking about it. It wasn’t about the money—it was the weird power dynamic and the fact that I agreed to something I didn’t want to do. The cash is still sitting untouched in my drawer, and I’m not sure if I should laugh it off or feel ashamed.
