    Hi,

    I saw this little promt on reddit (at r/celebdpp) and thought it was quite interesting;

    Could even be expanded:
    ... what if he has to go back to earth to fight something evil for "the boss" (aka god (or odin if you prefer that)), meeting the girls he fucks in his personal afterlife for real

    ... the Victoria's Secret angels being real angels (not necessary less horny than the other girls in his afterlife)

    Maybe someone has some thoughts on it, too.

    I feel like if it's as simple as "guy in city where everyone is willing to have sex with him" it'll be pretty generic, and not actually play out differently than a regular story where that sort of thing happens. If it was me, I'd say that he has to essentially get a job in the afterlife, turning into a cupid. He goes around helping people, and is rewarded with the things he wants. Or he fires arrows randomly and causes chaos, in which case he'd probably be fired.
    Thinking about it more, I might say that somehow the process of cupiding makes doppelgangers of the women who are loyal to him. Probably make up a reason for it.

    On the other hand, that's doesn't do the whole city of women thing. I feel like an entire city filled with basically sentient women is a little much just for some random guy. Maybe give them a reason why they'd make this place, like saying that souls with simple desires gain some sort of power once they've been fulfilled, so he gets some sort of ability, probably relating to sex and making things have sex with him, that gets stronger the more he has sex. Maybe say that the Victoria's Secret angels are real angels like you said, but they're supposed to be sort of like caretakers. They watch, and make sure everything's going right, and record his progress, but they don't feel desire. And then of course have the power he gets change that.

    With your first idea, I could see something where it's not a world created just for him, but a parallel universe. And things that happen in one affect the other, so when he meets a woman he's fucked in the real world, they act differently, and are probably really easy to seduce.

    This actually reminds me a bit of the "Twilight Zone" episode "A Nice Place to Visit," in which an inveterate gambler dies and winds up in a place where he magically gets anything he wants, including women. (Spoiler: He gets tired of it after about a month.)
