Would you shag someone for one million pounds?

Just that. Would you? Financial security for life if you forget your morals for half an hour... genuinely wondering how many are yes / no

If they were utterly minging, I’d just take my mind of it by browsing Rightmove while they pounded away.

All good.

RosesAndHellebores · 21/05/2022 15:18

If I could chose between Colin Firth or Timothy Dalton and they wanted beautiful, sensual love making yes. And if I wasn't married. The reality is that they probably wouldn't want to shag me for a million.

NotMushroomInEre · 21/05/2022 15:21

Knock off a zero and I'd still do it 😅

dolphinsarentcommon · 21/05/2022 15:21

I reckon I'd have to pay someone a million to shag me Confused

Waxonwaxoff0 · 21/05/2022 15:23

A one off shag? Absolutely I would.

ImplementingTheDennisSystem · 21/05/2022 15:23

@LeeMucklowesCurtains fantastic! 🤣

Crimesean · 21/05/2022 15:24

Only if DH agreed. I need him more than we need a million quid!

This thread reminds me of that old anecdote variously attributed to everyone from Lord Beaverbrook to Churchill to George Bernard Shaw to Groucho Marx.

GROUCHO (to woman seated next to him at an elegant dinner party): Would you sleep with me for ten million dollars?

WOMAN: Yes

GROUCHO; How about doing it for fifteen dollars?

WOMAN: Why, what sort of woman do you think I am?

GROUCHO: That’s already been established. Now we’re just haggling about the price.

thenewduchessoflapland · 21/05/2022 15:30

As long as they brought me dinner first........

Oh and no STD's and good personal hygiene is a must.

Although I'd probably ask if they swing both ways and if the answer was yes I'd offer my husband up as tribute.

HRTQueen · 21/05/2022 15:33

Yes if he wasn’t a man with a history of sexual violence towards women

I was paid by an older man to have sex with him (I was early 20’s he late 40’s) I found it a real turn on yes the money changed my mind but I did find him attractive anyway

ZealAndArdour · 21/05/2022 15:35

A million pounds is not enough money to provide lifetime financial security for me at the age of 35.

Depends who it was though, I’d certainly consider it. I’ve had enough meaningless sex in my life that one more person wouldn’t really make a difference, unless they were extremely disgusting and dirty/stinky or just a truly abhorrent person.

2bazookas · 21/05/2022 15:36

@ancientgran What about if you couldn't feed your kids?

I don't need a million to feed my kids . But if push came to shove, I'd push you over and steal your purse rather than have sex with you.

Ugzbugz · 21/05/2022 15:38

Yes.

RosesAndHellebores · 21/05/2022 15:40

@ZealAndArdour what a very sad thing to read. I am 61 and can honestly I have never had meaningless sex or a one night stand.

This is the premise of Indecent Proposal. The flaw in that was the person in question was Robert Redford, whom vast numbers of women would have shagged gratis.

I would have done so too when that film came out, but he has not aged well and I would now be looking for at least a five figure sum.

CandidaAlbicans2 · 21/05/2022 15:51

Provided the shagee was able to give consent, absolutely! I wouldn't care if I found them hideous either, but I might struggle if it was a woman as I'm 100% hetero, but for that amount I'd give it a go!

Grin He is knocking 90 now so I suppose he might settle for a cup of tea and a nice chat. Quite respect him for having left his face alone, especially as he was so absolutely gorgeous when young.

Justkidding55 · 21/05/2022 16:03

I slept with a guy I knew for 600 pounds and cleared some debt and bills so of course I would- I’m not sure if anyone would pay a million pounds for me though 😂😂

Mugging someone involved a victim. Sleeping with someone for a million (or the contents of someone's purse) does not. I don't think the mugging is a better moral alternative than the sex!

MurderAtTheBeautyPageant · 21/05/2022 16:12

I'd shag old Robert Redford. He'd be very suave, tell you you were beautiful, take you to some chic winery in the the Napa Valley. Oh yes, it would be a good time.

Meaningless is the wrong word. It had meaning in the sense of two adults safely and absolutely enjoying each other’s bodies during the short time we all have on the planet, but without great declarations of love or any false belief in a shared future. Mutual pleasure is reason enough for me, one night stand or an ongoing thing for months and months.

Nothing wrong with that, in my opinion. I’m glad we live in times where women are able to explore their sexuality to the extent that men freely do (and have always done). Long may it continue. Sex is not currency and I feel sad for women who have only ever had it on a journey to a long term commitment to the same person. No man is enough of a prize to me that I would “save myself” or worship at the alter of his hallowed husbandly penis.

I am in a long term relationship now, committed and exclusive, but I have no regrets about the sex I’ve had in the past.

Manekinek0 · 21/05/2022 16:18

It would depend on the terms.

I mean I couldn't do the Dubai porta potty thing or sleep with a minor for any amount of money.

Badlifeday · 21/05/2022 16:27

I wouldn't have done it when I was younger, but I would now to secure my retirement and my dc's futures. DH would be quite happy I think!
Though no one would offer me of course 😂

MinglingFlamingo · 21/05/2022 16:28

Hell yeah! Fwiw I've been single for 2 years and there's been a lockdown so would take significantly less

ODFOx · 21/05/2022 16:36

No
Not for a million, not for £100k, not for £100, not for £10. For me the principle is the same, irrespective of the price.
However I do appreciate that I am lucky to have never been in the position where I felt that sex was my only valuable asset and I was that desperate.
