Lecherous millionaire explained

The lecherous millionaire is a thought experiment devised by Joel Feinberg to illustrate questions concerning coercion. It presents a scenario in which a millionaire offers to pay for medical care for a woman's ill child on the condition that she has sexual relations with him. While the millionaire is making an offer, he nevertheless seems to be coercing the woman.
