Although I personally have no problem either writing or reading explicit sex scenes (sex is a form of entertainment, after all), if you feel constrained by your distribution options, I would make the fact that sex occurred more explicit, and leave no doubt in the mind of the audience that yes, sex occurred, she screwed this guy to get a promotion or whatever it is she wanted.

In movies, to maintain their PG13 rating, they go all the way to the kissing and removing each other's clothing stage, we'll often see the naked back of a women or a naked woman in embrace before the fade out. Then we fade in with people that are clearly naked in bed after sex; or are waking up after literally sleeping together.

There is no doubt in the _adult_ minds of the audience that they had sex.

I think that is all you really need for your character; less teasing about how she will use sex and more actually using sex as a tool of persuasion, payment, or blackmail. Make her go all the way, unashamedly and without regrets. Make sure your fade out and fade in points leave no doubt about what happened in-between. Prove she is not just a tease. Two or three times should be sufficient to establish the pattern, that this is how she operates.

Original score: 4
