To ask would you give up sex forever for £150m?

By sex, I mean anything more than a cuddle and kiss.

If not, is there an amount of money that would persuade you to?

I said yes (probably a bit too quickly!) but my husband said no amount of money would persuade him to give up sex.

Ha I would. I've given it up anyway. Would be happy to make a profit from it!

Is there a business idea there somewhere?!

overnightangel · 14/05/2018 23:02

Not a chance!

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 14/05/2018 23:02

Easily.

I’ve been single for 8 years and celibate for 3. But it hasn’t made me any less poor Grin I could cope without forever if it made our life a shitload more comfortable.

If I had a partner who was good in bed I may answer differently Grin

higherupper · 14/05/2018 23:03

So we could still cuddle and kiss?
If so my answer is YES!

SamHeughansLeftEyebrow · 14/05/2018 23:05

£1.50 would probably be enough!

DaisysStew · 14/05/2018 23:05

I’m absolutely skint and I’ve not had a shag in over 3 years - bring it on.

annandale · 14/05/2018 23:05

I've surprised myself by saying I wouldn't, no Grin

Don't have a partner atm and have never had that great a sex life and I still don't want to lose it. That's quite comforting actually.

BakedBeans47 · 14/05/2018 23:07

£1.50 would probably be enough!

This 😂

SoftlyCatchyMonkey1 · 14/05/2018 23:07

No because £150m is too much anyway!!! What am I gonna spend it on??
Better to keep access to full enjoyment of life and make do with much less

liz70 · 14/05/2018 23:07

No, because to do so would mean surrendering my privacy (or how else would one police it?), and that is priceless.

fullponty · 14/05/2018 23:08

Haha yes. For far less than that.

stevie69 · 14/05/2018 23:09

Hmmm, well considering some of the sex I've had, then quite frankly I'd give it up for £1.50 Grin

But then there was him. And ...... you can keep your £150m Blush

UpstartCrow · 14/05/2018 23:10

Does this include a ban on self loving though?

Sparklesocks · 14/05/2018 23:10

It’s tempting, but no..I’m a hormonal little thing Grin

DaisysStew · 14/05/2018 23:10

What am I gonna spend it on??

Life sized cut out of Tom Hardy and a never ending supply of batteries Grin

IncyWincyGrownUp · 14/05/2018 23:10

I’ve only just started having dex again after a long time without, so no thanks.

CollyWombles · 14/05/2018 23:10

Nope, I would not be able kiss and cuddle my DH and never want to have sex with him. I'd say I would, then take the money and hire some gangsters to take out anyone that could try take it back and shag my husband in every room of our shiny mansion.

PeterIanStaker · 14/05/2018 23:13

I certainly would. It would actually be everything I'd ever dreamed of, being stinking rich and unobliged to disrobe Blush

Itslookinglikeabeautifulday · 14/05/2018 23:15

Yep.

Branleuse · 14/05/2018 23:16

could I still wank?

PickAChew · 14/05/2018 23:16

It wouldn't take that much.

liz70 · 14/05/2018 23:17

Again, for it to work you would have to have cameras spying on you every second of the rest of your life to prove that you weren't cheating. No thanks - that's no life, with or without £150 million.

SequinsOnEverything · 14/05/2018 23:19

Definitely!

Happinessisabook · 14/05/2018 23:21

No way
I enjoy sex far too much haha
Don't think there's any money that would make me give it up

KurriKurri · 14/05/2018 23:22

My first reaction was be YES,

But having given it a bit of thought I've changed to 'hmm maybe'
I don't currently have anyone i want to have sex with, but if that changed I might regret giving it up, but then again - £150m is a lot of penny chews Grin
