View_From_Below: you raise an important clarification, DMW. The original question wasn't necessarily only inquiring about the crasser sort of "gifts," in which a "fee" of some kind is offered and rejected or accepted specifically in exchange for sexual favors, although that's an interesting variation. Rather the question was also about "gifts" not tied to a specific request... sort of like, free game tickets, or a great table at the restaurant, or a bump to first class, and so on, no actual proposition but where your antenna told you the gift came about because of their interest in your other, er, gift.
