Just for fun and because I was talking to a friend earlier and we were having a ridiculous conversation.

Would you do any of these 3 things for a guaranteed instant billion pounds.

Have sex with 1000 men (you won’t catch an std)
Kill someone (you won’t get caught)
Have sex with the most repulsive man you can think of.
Put your children in boarding school.

Obviously those things aren’t really going to happened but if someone offered you the money to do one of those things would you do any and if so which one?

Have sex with 1000 men (you won’t catch an std)

  • as a 57 year old will vaginal atrophy that would be a bit nippy so no
Kill someone (you won’t get caught)
  • a real baddie and if it was not too violent maybe - gun shot would be ok, injection ok, stabbing or anything close up and messy I don’t think I could do
Have sex with the most repulsive man you can think of.
  • no
Put your children in boarding school.
  • he is 22 would a boarding school accept him now???

Looks like I am destined to be poor 🤣

I have a list.

I even have a list of those I’d do it and serve every day with a smile on my face if I did get caught.

Me too, in fact some on the list I'd cheerfully kill for the price of a coffee.

No problem putting kids in a boarding school, either, but not sure on the sex ones. Would depend whether I'm allowed to kill them after, I think.

I have an earworm now (Black Widow by Alice Cooper).

I couldn’t kill anyone and I wouldn’t want to, regardless of who they were, for any amount of money. I wouldn’t want to put my kids in boarding school either. No amount of money would buy back that lost time with them. The sex ones are harder to answer- the disgusting man…would I have to engage with him and kiss him, or could I lay there with my eyes closed and wait for it to be over? And the 1000 men…would it be until the each one finished, or is there a time limit per man? Imagine 1000 men and each one lasting 5 minutes or longer. Ouchy. Actually, no…I wouldn’t want to do the 1000 men. So possibly I could do the disgusting man depending on the T&Cs.

@Gettingcosy13 I’m going for the 1000 men. Over and done with.

Im taking this so seriously I think I’ve just put a deposit down on my new holiday home 🤣

AllJoyAndNoFun · 18/09/2026 18:59

I think most eleven year olds would bite your hand off if you said “you have to go to boarding school but you get 250 million pounds ( so a quarter of the haul) in return. You’ll be able to buy whatever you want, for ever.”

Interesting that you’ve chosen 1000 men over 1 repulsive one! 😂

All except kill. I'm somewhat disturbed by the number of PPs who'd rather be a murderer than shag an ugly!

I'd need to space the 1,000 men out over, say, three months. I could do the disgusting man doggy-style so I didn't have to look at him 😂

The number of ppl who'd shag DT is far more disturbing imo.

If you shag DT and then kill him do you get two billion?

Sandyq106 · 18/09/2026 19:08

I'd have sex with a repulsive man, hopefully it would over VERY quickly, and think of the lives you could change with that amount of money.
I'd have to have a few stiff ones first ( forgive the pun !!)

XenoBitch · 18/09/2026 19:09

I don't have kids so I guess I am stuck with a lot of grim sex and killing someone.
Can I combined some? Shag someone to death?

I already asked that! I would take great pleasure in the second part not so much the first. I don't think it is valid to say loads of us would shag Donald Trump. He's just been cited (accurately IMO) as the most repulsive man people could think of.

OneKeenPeachRaven · 18/09/2026 19:14

I don't have children, so can I put my theoretical children into boarding school?

Also I sincerely doubt many folks - if it was straightforwardly legit and safe - wouldn't have sex with someone repugnant for that money.

Comtesse · 18/09/2026 19:14

I don’t think boarding school would necessarily be terrible. Some kids love it, especially for 6th form.

Butchyrestingface · 18/09/2026 19:17
  1. No.
  2. No.*- unless it was a truly heinous person and I would be doing the world a favour.
  3. Yes* - though probably would have already killed him under point 2 above.
  4. Hell yeah.

I don't have kids but I did go to boarding school. It wasn't that bad. The hypothetical ankle-snatchers would survive and I'd pay for ponies and therapy if they didn't like it.

ThatLilacTiger · 18/09/2026 19:19

Yeah I'd do any of the first three because I currently desperately need money, but I'd struggle with sending my kids away. I don't think, on balance, that the problems I could solve with heaps of money would be a good trade off for the problems I'd create for my babies.

YellowScarfRupert · 18/09/2026 19:20

1 billion pounds, honestly I’d probably do all 4 for £10 million

Bye bye kidlets

StillgotmyiPod · 18/09/2026 19:20

I wish I had the money to send children to boarding school!

I'd do it for the price of the school fees, let alone £1bn!

Ponies and therapy lmao 🤣 I'm very anti-boarding school and that's the closest anyone has ever come to changing my mind.

AbzMoz · 18/09/2026 19:21

I could do all of them, I reckon. Would have to clarify that the sex is conventional in both the 1000 and repulsive bloke case.
I would like to be an anonymous billionaire though, and if there was associated publicity I would really struggle with that. I’m always astounded when lottery winners go public.

Sorry! missed that.

No, but a lot of ppl are even entertaining the hypothetical sex with repulsive men. Just no way.

For me, I have already had sex with a lot of repulsive men. One more time for so much money wouldn't have any lasting effect 😆and I say that as somone who hasn't slept with a man (disgusting or otherwise) for a good twenty years!
