The value of a kiss with a stranger

[minacia]

In a semi-futuristic world where virtual reality is highly realistic (it feels nearly real), a suspicious person confronts you on an online forum and offers to pay you for a kiss on virtual reality.

You don't know anything about this suspicious person other than the fact that your first impression is that they are a weird person.

They tell you that they can use any avatar on virtual reality that you prefer to see.

They're willing to negotiate the price with you that you think is fair.

It would have to be a kiss on the lips to count, and you can log out at any time.

A. Would you ever agree to something this?

B. If yes, how much would you need to be paid in order to consider doing this?

I would do it for 1m USD

Probably never, it is less about a person’s appearance and more so who they are and how we interact that attracts me to someone. So unless they are offering life changing amounts of money, I would most likely refuse them.

Chaste or no?
Any way to force them to go through with the payment?

I would consider negotiating, but only if I am certain to be paid... and I don't think I would mind too much for a chaste kiss and prefer money.

For a deeper kiss... I guess it depends on how much money. Probably for more than 1k. Much more if they're a man, because I don't want to kiss one.

 

[Daydreamers]

Probably not; I'd need to be really desperate for money or something to overcome my doubt that things might get worse if I accept.

I didn't think that hard I assume you could negotiate the price depending on the type of kiss.

I suppose the standard sketchy way to broker a questionable exchange is to have a trustworthy third party mediate it. As in, the buyer sends money to the third party, third party holds the payment until the exchange is done, and then the third party gives money to the seller in the end.

This is fairly tame, isn't it? As long as you make sure to avoid getting charged with prostitution. So make sure to research local laws and have a way to prove that you didn't break them.

As for the money... Is this the actual point of the question? Because you can get a kiss from a stranger for free if you go to a bar or club. Raise the price as much as you can, if you want, or just do it for fun.

Then I would definitely try and get the highest price I can (Because uni isn't cheap) but... I would negotiate much harder if it were with a man. Nothing against them... I just don't like them.
I would definitely be fine with $100 for a chaste one, but I... really don't know how much for a deep kiss.

It's moreso what kind of value do you personally assign to kissing a stranger with absolutely no context. Let's same it's randomly a Wednesday night and you have other things to do and someone messages you and says they want to kiss on virtual reality but they'll pay you.

Would you pretty much always say 'yes' for free just because?

Or would you have a minimum monetary value that you would assign to it?

 

[Cipiteca396]

and you have other things to do

I probably wouldn't change my schedule for someone else if I'm being honest.

1m is just the starting bid. The terms are more negotiable. If you think about it, it's just a virtual kiss. I would do even once a week for 2k.

Can't, too embarrassed, if I ever tried I think in the moment my mind would create a 3rd person perspective of me miming trying to kiss an invisible person, this would make me die of embarrassment

And then Envylope was sucked into the computer and never seen again.

[ShrimpShady]

I'd do it for free haha ?

 

[cabbag3]

I'm more of a $20 is $20 kinda guy, so since you're asking me anyway, give me all you can comfortably give.

 

[owotrucked]

I'd kiss a virtual pig's butt for a sandwich

 

[LuoirM]

I'm desperate enough
