That's what I meant with "but the story moves more smoothly with a reluctant victim then with an unwilling one". With a reluctant victim you can easily convince the reader that she would be willing to do a lot more then she would logically be willing to do because she is so turned on by the situation that she is not completely in control.


And for unwilling victims:

One of the standard methods of popular blackmail stories is for the blackmailer to use the first "session" to produce better quality blackmailing material. But is that really doing any good if you want to go to go wild with your victim. Loss of jobs and Friends doesn't sound too bad when you compare it to what some of those poor wretches have to do. Framing for a capital crime might work better. If you have good enough material the victim might no longer see the police as his/her friend.
