Would you have sex-missionary with someone if offered money

If so, how much would it have to be?

Discussion at work quite a few years ago, inspired by the Demi Moore film. I was younger and had more money than now. If someone asked you to sleep with them for x amount of money-say half a million, would you? Missionary only, over quickly
I was aghast and said no, most said of course they would.

Now, I think I feel differently

Would you?

You can't know until you do it though.

The difference is that you would know that you had been a prostitute. And that might eat away at you.

You could be fine either. But I think it may cause damage

The money would pay for counselling to get over it

I’m a tuppenney hooer so I’d do it for maybe tuppence ha’penny.

@peachgreen Thats actually another, interesting side to the discussion! If our dps, Dh’s we’re offered the same scenario, would we give our blessing

Probably

Well it would depend on what you did. Having some missionary sex with a good looking stranger wouldn’t be a big deal for me. I absolutely wouldn’t do it if the person repulsed me though,

If I wanted to have sex with the person anyway, then I'm not going to object to being paid on top, but the implicit scenario is having sex with someone only for the money, who you wouldn't otherwise want to have sex with.

Anonymouslyposting · 13/09/2024 09:30

Depends on my circumstances and the person offering. If I’m in a relationship and my partner is not on board then not for any amount of money. If I’m single probably yes if the relevant person isn’t too hideous/horrible. That amount of money would be life changing.

lol, I wonder what the responses would also be if your husband came home with (say) £250k and said "darling, I was offered this money on a whim, I didn't have time to consult with you, and I took one for the team".

I'd high five him then make him get an STD test whilst I browsed Zoopla for half million pound houses.

BunnyLake · 13/09/2024 09:29

knittingdad · 13/09/2024 09:22

For myself, it would taint the money, and everything I bought with it.

You might say, with half a million you could buy a house outright and have the security of not having to pay any rent or a mortgage. But then I'd be trapped in that house and it would be a constant reminder of what I'd done to get it.

Gossip would be jealousy more than anything

Exactly! its clear from this thread that a LOT of people would at least consider it too so those gossiping about me would also do it given half the chance

How many women here would be OK with their husbands or partners shagging another woman if were offered a similar amount of money?

I would. If we had both discussed it openly, honestly, and agreed it together I wouldnt mind.

The issue I have with cheating is the lying and betrayal. It's completely different if it's something you have both discussed.

If my DH had a take it leave it, now or never offer of say £500k, I'd fully expect to drop his trousers. I can forgive him in our lovely new house, or on our lovely holiday.

Damnloginpopup · 13/09/2024 09:27

"Look at her in her porsche. Dirty cow shagged some random bloke for half a million."

"Did you get his number?"

Gossip would be jealousy more than anything.

BettyBardMacDonald · 13/09/2024 09:23

Same here.

I've got a dire crap kitchen that hasn't been renovated in 75 years. Just the thought of new fitted cabinets would get me so aroused I'd give them the shag of a lifetime! 🤣🤣🤣

And not care who knew it.

🤣🤣 love this! A new kitchen and Mr Millionaire shagger would soon be bankrupt once word gor round amongst my mates!

No chance you do give part of yourself away when you have sex with someone I remember a lot of mistakes I made as a young woman. I imagine so many of those men have never thought of me after that day. And hear I am more than 20 years on still thinking of those times.

What happens to all those bits of you afterwards? What happens to women who have had sex with a lot of people, are we wasting away into nothing because we keep giving bits of ourselves away?

You might feel you give a bit of yourself away to every partner. Many of us don't feel like that.

Many women (and men) will marry a wealthy partner purely for financial security. In that marriage you might be expected to wash their dirty socks/pants, provide them with children, cook them meals every night, tolerate their family, perhaps deal with unpleasant behaviour from them PLUS sleep with them frequently. I know plenty of women who are with men simply because they cannot afford to leave. I'd sooner have the cash and freedom than feel shackled to a miserable life forever.

I think simply exchanging sex for money is a quicker and more honest way of dealing with things.

How many women here would be OK with their husbands or partners shagging another woman if were offered a similar amount of money?

Or not even 500k, say 10k? What's the cut off point?!

I'd be 100% ok with my DH doing this as long as we were open and honest about it.
It would be transactional with no feelings behind it and we could give our children and ourselves a wonderful and stress free life.
It would have to be for a substantial amount though.
Nothing below £500k

Dearg · 13/09/2024 09:26

If someone was willing to pay me £500k for quick sex, I would be telling people !

I am 63 and a bit saggy. I would not do it for less though - no bragging rights in a tenner.

Flashcardsagain · 13/09/2024 09:26

Single, yes. The midwife had her arm up to her elbow in me. She didn't even pay.

Married with DC. Nope. Too much to lose.

YellowGuido · 13/09/2024 09:26

Mossyeyes · 13/09/2024 00:10

Of course I would and I wouldn't regret it at all. It's life changing money. It would leave the same impact on me as if he has put his finger in and out of my ear.

I'm happily married and I think dh would be a bit possesive but I would talk him around - it's 1 million pounds.

All this talk about losing your soul. My soul is already leaching out in a toxic work environment every day. I have another 20 years to work.

I would 100% swap that for a 10 min shag.

I think a finger in and out of my ear would be worse! 😆

I’d do it (agree with PP at around the £100K mark) and have no regrets

Totally fine. His body. We discussed it ages ago because of the film.

Wouldnt give a crap if people knew either, I’m in my perimenopause, over 40s life stage where I don’t care about others opinions enough anymore. The gossip would be yesterday’s news soon enough anyway

Yup- same here. I wouldnt give a crap either, I'd be laughing at them as I zoomed by in my Porsche.

I think this fall sunder three categories really:

1 - Single
2 - Married behind partner's back (if you thought you could get away with it)
3 - Married with partner's consent
