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

Yes and if they had someone for DP as well I would suggest he did the same!

LimpBiskit · 21/05/2022 13:54

It's a definite yes

Spaghag · 21/05/2022 13:54

Yes definitely. So long as it wasn't someone I was related to.

I'd also support DH doing the same.

HardRockOwl · 21/05/2022 11:58

Yes of course. And I'm happily married. I'd also insist my husband did similar

But then, I have no morals Grin

So we're basing it in reality?

Or it's a hypothetical regardless of circumstances?

Do we get to pick the person?

Can we stipulate they are someone we don't find hideous?

burnoutbabe · 21/05/2022 13:54

I mean i'd try and climb Everest (or less risky mountain) for £1m, lets say Snowdon and thats FAR more challenging and onerous task. harder on the knees too.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 21/05/2022 13:55

Also loving the MN standard that a million pounds isn't really all that much money - and 'certainly not life changing'.

Even if you have no choice but to live in a phenomenally expensive area, where houses cost £5m each, people still suggesting that an instant 20% permanent reduction in 25+ years' worth of their colossal mortgage payments wouldn't in any way make their lives significantly more pleasant!

BertieBotts · 21/05/2022 13:55

I don't think my DH would care Blush is that awful?

I would probably say yes... but on the other hand, I have read descriptions of sex workers saying that it stays with you/is traumatic to have this kind of sex even if you think it sounds fine at the time. I've been in a situation where I stopped sex because it was a situation I got into because I thought it would be fun and edgy and then when it came down to it I just couldn't do it/didn't want to because it felt so degrading - luckily in that case the bloke in question was decent and immediately stopped as soon as I made it clear it wasn't working for me and I even found that quite upsetting an experience, even though nothing happened.

So whether it would be worth something like that for a million? I don't know actually. A part of me is like yeah totally, you could easily dissociate and pretend it's not happening (how shit that most women know how to do that, BTW?) and a part of me worries that it would be a really damaging experience emotionally.

UnshakenNeedsStirring · 21/05/2022 13:57

Id have to ask if they voted for Brexit or are a tory but otherwise, yes!!

MysteriousMonkey · 21/05/2022 13:58

Yes

TonyBlairsLover · 21/05/2022 13:58

No because it goes against my religion but if it was Tony Blair he wouldn’t even have to offer me money

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 21/05/2022 13:59

I'd even shag a tory

I'm that skint!

drawacircleroundit · 21/05/2022 14:00

Yes.

Memories of an Ofsted visit! I was in my form room at lunchtime, the Inspector was in an adjacent area, it was raining and I allowed my form group to sit in the room, it was at the time of Indecent Proposal, and one of the girls, 15/16 asked me Miss, would you sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars? My reply was Where the hell would I find a million dollars?
Cue one choking inspector, she was almost purple when she showed her face, having hysterics.

😂😂
I remember years ago Indecent Proposal was on the telly at Christmas, watched it with my mum. As an idealistic teenager, I said of course I would never sleep with anyone for money, it was terrible.
I can remember my mother, older and wiser, saying telling me not to be so precious about it, people have sex for all sorts of reasons good and bad, and Robert Redford and £1millon were both good reasons, most women would rarely have two such good reasons together and would jump at the chance 😂

beachcitygirl · 21/05/2022 14:01

Hell yes
When I think of the arsewipes I slept with for free as a needy student

KateMcCallister · 21/05/2022 14:02

Yes. I'd even shag Nigel Farage for a million quid.

Clearly moral-less 😂

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 21/05/2022 14:02

I probably would have done once, but nobody’s going to give me the opportunity now that I’m a Very Old Bag.

I did once know of someone who did it for £30k in cash - this was in the 70s when that sort of money could buy you a very nice house.

She was cabin crew for an airline which used to visit a certain Arab country, where the ruler would throw parties for the girls, and, ahem, ‘offers’ were made.

Someone else I knew asked Crewing not to send her there again, because said ruler had - shall we say - ‘shown interest’ and she thought it could prove awkward in future.

Livercool · 21/05/2022 14:04

If it was someone I quite fancied then absolutely. There are some men I just couldn't bring myself to get intimate with no matter how much money was on offer. Most men.

Pythian · 21/05/2022 14:05

1960s Robert Redford, definitely. Indecent Proposal era Robert Redford, probably not.

Also, when you say "shag", do you mean I'd just have to lie there while he does his thing, or would I have to be enthusiastic about it? Would I have to kiss him or do oral etc? Because the level of involvement definitely changes the amount of cash I'd need before I could go for it...

Hallyup89 · 21/05/2022 14:06

Yeah, I would.

Mindmyownbusiness · 21/05/2022 14:10

Yes, on 3 conditions.

The money was held in trust for me until deed fulfilled so no back tracking.
The person is clean of anything sexually transmitted and uses protection
They're not someone considered 'evil' (pedo/dictator)

£1million could do so much for me. Whilst I abstain now, I haven't always so what's one more. Just lie there and think of the 000s.

Sunnytwobridges · 21/05/2022 14:12

Yup in a heartbeat.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 21/05/2022 14:12

What I find difficult to comprehend in this scenario - in any scenario of prostitution - is how much genuine pleasure the proposer/customer/John would actually get from buying somebody's (technical) consent.

Wouldn't it completely spoil things, knowing that the person you're having sex with would not remotely consider doing it without you paying them - they're effectively having sex with your money rather than with you?

I'd say it's all the same in principle, regardless of how much it says on your price ticket; but I reckon it must be even worse if you're a multi-millionaire (presumably a single millionaire wouldn't trade the whole lot for one short liaison) and you still can't find somebody who finds you attractive enough to want to marry/be in a relationship with you - for you.

Of course, I'm not for a moment saying that they should want to marry you only because you're very rich, but considering that plenty of ordinary non-wealthy people manage to fall in love and build happy, successful relationships based on what they each have to offer in terms of personality/character/intelligence/looks/status etc., you would think that having a yacht-load of cash on top of the other attributes you had going in your favour certainly wouldn't be a disadvantage in finding somebody.

All in all, being in a position where you feel the need to use your riches to buy people's sexual 'consent' does kind of suggest that your general personality in and of itself acts as a natural contraceptive!

Whatwouldyoudo23 · 21/05/2022 14:13

Ha ha yeah I’ve done it for a wine, so a million fuck yes

MurderAtTheBeautyPageant · 21/05/2022 14:13

Probably. As long as there was no violence involved.

A friend and I do this all the time 'how much money would it take for you to walk topless through the office, fart loudly in a staff meeting etc.'

I can generally come up with a price.

RichardOsmansXraySpecs · 21/05/2022 14:13

TonyBlairsLover · 21/05/2022 13:58

No because it goes against my religion but if it was Tony Blair he wouldn’t even have to offer me money

I've just been a bit sick in my mouth.
