The rest of the afternoon was relatively quiet, with only a few customers coming in. The next rush would occur around 5-6 pm, which was after my shift ended.
At 4 pm, the woman on the next shift took my place, and I was freed for the day. If I have to say, this might have been the most pleasant working day in my life. It also suited my large libido perfectly. I could understand why people would be interested in this type of work, even though my circumstances were a bit special.
It was still early in the day when I took a break in my room, reflecting on the situation. My biggest question was about what to do in the future. Keeping my current job wasn’t bad, but it was clear I could do so much better with my newfound advantages.
The only thing I was uncertain about was how far I could go. The delinquent girl who came to the store knew exactly what she was doing, which meant I could do the same if I wanted to. But, more importantly, what if I wanted to keep the goods for myself? I was poor, after all. Sure, I earned some gift cards for free, but that wouldn’t get me that far.
In other words, how much could I buy with sex? Could I pay my rent with sex? Could I buy a phone with it? What about a car, or even a house?
I sprang from my bed, preparing to go out again. I could simply check it for myself. Plus, this might be the opportunity for me to finally lose my virginity. There was no need to hesitate.
I wasn’t renting my current studio apartment from another person. Instead, it was a company that owned the whole building and was making money by renting all units inside. I had created a setup where rent money was taken from my account automatically, to avoid forgetting about it. And also to avoid overspending and not being able to pay for my own place. Hence, I didn’t have a direct way to pay my rent with sex.
Instead, I decided to try getting a new phone first. My phone wasn’t bad, but it was very behind in terms of generations. Maybe about nine or ten? It was a cheap second-hand phone that I bought for less than fifty bucks.
There was a phone store a few hundred meters away from my home. I walked there, anticipating whatever would happen. When I entered it, the shop wasn’t that big, but everything inside was very clean and neat, with tables displaying many different phone models.
I strolled around, my delicate heart receiving shock after shock.
‘Holy plutonium! $1500 for a phone? And this one is $1800? What the hell? Are they made out of gold? Oh… this one actually is. $3600? This is insanity.’
While many models were cheaper, the more expensive ones had mind-blowing price tags. My roaming might have attracted attention because a store clerk came toward me. She was a woman in her thirties, with short black hair and eyes.
“Can I help you, sir?”
“Ah… Yes. Um, do people really buy this?”
I pointed at the golden phone, and she smiled out of habit.
“We get asked this a lot. Not many are ready to pay that much for a phone, but sometimes, yes. Most normal customers prefer these models.”
With a hand sign, she showed the ones between $1000 and $2000. I knew little about recent phones, so I picked one that looked good, for $1300.
“What about this one?”
“Good choice. It has all the new features, including the latest AI version, optimal camera quality, and shock resistance.”
“Oh… And, like, is it possible to pay for this with sex?”
She raised her eyebrows, surprised, but answered professionally.
“Not many people choose to buy with sex when it involves that sort of amount, but it’s not impossible. It’s mostly bothersome for you, sir. You’ll probably need to pay by instalments by coming here many times and providing stimulation until the price is reached. Does that sound fine with you?”
So, there was such a system. It made sense. I understood why she considered it a bother, too. Normal people would need to spend a lot of time and effort to reach such a large amount of money. For me? Being able to come here anytime and enjoy sexual acts sounded like an amazing concept. It wasn’t like I absolutely needed the phone, anyway. I was fine with just the sexual parts!
“Yes, it’s fine.”
“I understand. Please come with me.”
We went to one of the free registers, and she tapped on the screen.
“May I have your name and phone number, please?”
I gave her my information, and she inputted everything.
“Done. Anytime you would like to pay for another instalment, please come here and give us your information. We’ll be able to find you and continue the transaction until it’s fully paid.”
“Great.”
“Would you like to start paying immediately?”
Her face stayed neutral, but it didn’t seem like she hated the idea of doing something with me. It was important to understand that people who worked in sales-related positions did so by choice. In other words, they deliberately chose to be able to receive payment by sex. To put it simply, they were interested and enjoyed these kinds of things. It wasn’t hard to understand why. By being a store clerk, it was possible to receive plenty of sexual stimulation for free. In this world where stimulation was money, it was like being paid another time on top of their normal salary. It was similar to the tips a waiter could receive by working at a restaurant.
As a trial, I asked her about sexual acts.
“Yes, please. What act is recommended for that amount of money?”
She didn’t even glance at her screen.
“Cunnilingus or sex, ideally ending in orgasms.”
Her eyes shone a little in expectation.
As for me, her words sounded like heaven’s gospel.
