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?

Yes I would suffer sex-missionary for 1m. Better odds than OMAZE 💥

Would you suffer missionary sex with a portly middle aged man who voted Reform and talked constantly about fishing... for a 5 bed house with a spa pool, in the Cotswolds?

Its really not. Sex may come into it, but that isnt how it is understood to be. Sounds like sex workers and their clients have rebranded what they do to make it more socially acceptable....depressing as that is. I personally find the Sugar Baby/Daddy thing far worse than a straight up "I want to shag you" "Ok, it will cost you £XXX" transaction.

What did you think sugar babies was.

It's always been sex for money.

I remember reading an article years ago about American women who do it.

They described how they have to meet their sugar daddy three times a week for sex, then the sugar daddies give them money.

It is prostitution. Its just called sugar daddies and sugar babies, as there is usually an age difference, and it an ongoing arrangment of the older man paying the younger woman for sex

Does nobody wonder about the psychological damage it would do to you?

@Abbylikeswine

you're assuming quite a lot there!

JudithOx · 13/09/2024 01:09

Abbylikeswine · 12/09/2024 23:38

No.

It's not just about the money.

I feel it would take away a bit of my soul. It would damage me.

I read a marilyn monroe book. She slept with a movie studio owner to get a part in a movie.

She said that she totally regretted it as

she "felt she had given away part of her soul that she couldn't get back"

Edited

I definitely would! Sex means nothing unless you want it to. No piece of my soul would be lost in the process, I can assure you!

Quordle and Octordle if it goes on too long.

You might need Semantle then. That can take hours.

Delonghi88 · 13/09/2024 01:09

If I could make money for it then I’d consider it but there’s not a market for single fathers lol

Yes I would, absolutely. I’ve done far worse in my youth!
I’d probably do it for £50k I reckon, £500k and I’d do a whole football team.

Alas I’m fairly sure absolutely no-one would pay £5 these days.

👍🏻👍🏻🤣🤣🤣

Delonghi88 · 13/09/2024 01:07

Oh hell no I’m defo 100% straight male. Perhaps I should have made this clear

FruitFlyPie · 13/09/2024 01:06

Yes I would.

I've had sex I didn't want to stop my (now ex) bf from nagging me. And it wasn't quick missionary either.

To numerous PPs who mention having had sex they "regretted": on what basis? Didn't you choose these men because you felt they were attractive or looked acceptable to you? Surely there was still a minimum aspect of selection of the guy?

I don't think this scenario is comparable. You chose to sleep with that man. Here, the scenario is a guy you'd never ever consent to sleep with otherwise.

I don't think there necessarily is a level of selection..
At least in my experience. Sex I regretted tended to be when young with guys who just relentlessly persued me and I eventually gave iin.so it was more that they selected me and I was just not confident about what I did or didn't want so ended up sleeping with them. Sometimes when young you think you should feel something towards men who express interest in you. Sometimes it takes a while to learn to identify and assert your own feelings.
So yes I did end up sleeping with guys I wasn't attracted to at all.

I don't believe you actually DO have the power if you need the money, however much you demand. A woman who would always turn the man down whatever he offered holds the REAL power, because the man can NEVER have her. That's why rape is talked about in terms of being a power thing. If a man was going to rape you but you said to him "well, actually, if you're going to do it, if you want to pay me a lot of money I'll let you do it and we'll say no more about it" do you really think he would pay you or just go ahead as planned anyway? That man is never going to opt to pay you. But just say, for the sake of argument, he said "ok then, I'll pay you", would you be happy to then sleep with that man who'd been about to rape you?

Well in your scenario I am going to get raped either way, so would I take rape, moral high ground and the trauma that goes with it, or rape, trauma and half a million quid? I would take the money.

Said as a rape survivor, whatever difference that makes.

I can understand women regretting sex.

I definitelt regret the sex I had where the man was extremely selfish in bed.

Its hard to know how selfish men will be in bed, until you actually have sex with them

absolutely.well.depends on who-but if past the(my) viewing stage....aye.

There are many women where the career choice is marrying billionaires. It's an actual job to be a trophy wife.

Agree.

Just because they have a ring and a certificate it doesnt make them less of a prostitute.

Then they werent sugar babies, they were prostitues.

Sugar babies is mainly having sex for money.

Abbylikeswine · 13/09/2024 00:57

How would either person trust the other person, when a large amount of money is concerned for one night of sex.

If she has sex with him, he could then just decide not to pay her.

If he pays her first, she could then decide not to go through with it.

I can see them having to agree on terms.

It would be like

"the moment the penis enters the woman, the man must click "bank transfer" on his bank app on his phone

Abbylikeswine · 13/09/2024 00:44

No the sugar babies in the article that I read, just had sex for money. They didn't do anything else.

Yes other women can do what they want. I'm just pointing out the various problems that I would think would happen.

Then they werent sugar babies, they were prostitues.

Not really because in this senario you have a choice, and there are plenty of grotty men who still manage to get laid so someone is putting out and not minding.

I think it's likely it would mess some women up who think it wouldn't bother them.

I do know someone that used to be an 'escort' to put herself through uni and she was very blasé about it at the time. it really fucked her up for years afterwards and impacted her relationships with men and other parts of her life.

While I agree some people might be affected by the experience, transactional sex is nothing new, doesn't always equal prostitution, nor is it always damaging to either partner.

Personally I don't think someone who accepts money for sex the once is immediately a sex worker or need an emotional connection to the man or risk being damaged by it. But that's just my opinion.
