There's a tale about George Bernard Shaw that has a bearing on this. 10/26/2004, 06:34:40

Peter2 writes: He was at a society party, and reportedly some woman was having a rather arch semi-flirtatious conversation with him. Shaw said then asked if she would sleep with him for £5000, or some such amount. Without actually saying Yes, she intimated that she would. Shaw then asked if she would sleep with him for £5. She exclaimed "What do you think I am? A whore?" Shaw replied "Madam, we've already established what you are. All we're doing now is negotiating the price."
