They will look at the facts and make a decision as to what they think it really is, not what it's called. This really is conceptually no different than saying that you're selling your time and anything that just so happens between consenting adults is happenstance and unrelated to the fee. If a jury believed that was actually the case, then not guilty. But, I seriously doubt that will be a persuasive argument, just like I doubt anyone will be persuaded by your proposed arrangement into believing that it is not really fee for sex.
