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?

With someone who looked like Robert Redford in his younger years? Hell yeah I would!

Probably more likely to be a Jacob Rees-Mogg doppelganger.

But for a million quid, I'm still game.

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

But you say "You know you had been a prostitute" like its a negative thing. In this scenario he is prepared to pay whatever it costs so you have the power. A shag that would mean nothing to me in terms of the physical act versus the difference it would make to my life in terms of financial benefits.....no brainer. A prostitute who is genuinely choosing to sell sex is not a victim or some second rate human.

The ability to choose is different to a woman who is trafficked or pimped or is servicing an addiction and has no real choice.

Some would say that he is buying my consent, I disagree. I would say that, in this scenario, I am charging him for my consent. Small but significant difference.

If I was single I would for a decent amount - £500k would do nicely. But I'm married, I couldn't be unfaithful and even if DH knew and was OK with it, then I'd think less of him for being OK with it - Not sure that makes any sense🤦‍♀️

This ^ for me.

Saturdayblurs · 13/09/2024 00:17

I wouldn’t for any amount of money, the thought turns my stomach. I’m not judging anyone else, live and let live, just for me personally I feel repulsed even thinking about it.

Ponoka7 · 13/09/2024 00:15

I'd want £12k to get my teeth done.

girljulian · 13/09/2024 00:13

For half a million? In a heartbeat! It would never happen but obvs yes.

MsLavender · 13/09/2024 00:12

Absolutely. I'm in a relationship so would check with DP first but I think he'd allow it as a one off, missionary for half a million. Actually even if he said no I'd have to tell him I was doing it anyway because I couldn't turn down that sum of money when I think of how it would benefit my child and I'd have to put him first. Going to ask him in a bit (when he's not busy) if he would do it too!

Synchronisedwitches · 13/09/2024 00:12

And I don't think it would be any more psychologically damaging than anything else I've experienced in life only this time I'd have 100k to help me get over it..

A good extension of this discussion is body parts.
Me and a friend who works in insurance were discussing that girl who got the payout from alton towers when her legs got crushed on the Smiler.
And how she may actually have considered it a lucky thing to have happened to her as she can now walk again with prosthetic legs and live a relatively normal life.. but she got 1million plus payout at 18 so she never has to worry much about money...
So we were discussing what body parts we'd give up for how much money..
Apparently there's a list of how much body parts are worth in terms of insurance and/or in court cases regarding accidents that weren't your fault!! There's a whole list of what say, losing a finger, or an ear, would be worth financially

ShatParp · 13/09/2024 00:04

Does it HAVE to be missionary?! Can't it be doggy?!

I was thinking that. Let him get on with it and not having to look at him would be preferable.

Demonhunter · 13/09/2024 00:10

With someone who looked like Robert Redford in his younger years? Hell yeah I would!

RogueFemale · 13/09/2024 00:10

Yes, I'd do it for £500K, for sure. Kind of normal after the sexual abuse of my teen years, so it'd be water off a duck's back.

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.

PyongyangKipperbang · 13/09/2024 00:09

Yep.

How much?

Enough for a new boiler, bathroom and kitchen plus a bit in the bank so £100k would do it.

Synchronisedwitches · 13/09/2024 00:05

For 500k? Yes for sure.
I'm not sure what my limit would be..
I've got 100k left on the mortgage so maybe that as it would be life changing...
But to be really honest with you anything over 10k I'd have to seriously consider..
I think it might be the end of my marriage if I did that... so it's also would I end my marriage for that money?
Things aren't great at the moment and actually if it weren't for the mortgage I might have left by now anyway..
So definitely 100k

Josette77 · 12/09/2024 23:57

No.

I've had sex I've regretted and didn't get paid, I'd be fine getting paid.

That said I'd only want my partner to do it if they were less attractive than me. It's shallow but it's true.

You can't know until you do it though.

Dita73 · 13/09/2024 00:01

Yes 100%

Josette77 · 12/09/2024 23:57

Abbylikeswine · 12/09/2024 23:49

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

No.

Whatisyourfavouriteflower · 12/09/2024 23:56

No. I wouldn't respect myself if I did.

Abbylikeswine · 12/09/2024 23:48

Cobblersorchard · 12/09/2024 23:43

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.

What if part of the criteria was that they would tell everyone what you had done. Would you still do it?

MarkingBad · 12/09/2024 23:47

I'm over 50 and don't currently have a partner ... a tenner would do, hell I'd probably pay him! 😆

Pigeewigee · 12/09/2024 23:47

I'd rather not do missionary but otherwise yeah

BMW6 · 12/09/2024 23:45

Yeah, I SO would for, say, 200k +.

I could sell this house and get a bungalow.
I'm getting on and looking to future-proof.
