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.

No way! Amazing to have a cash injection! But enjoying life is way more important! Grin

Mikklehaha · 16/05/2018 18:04

Absolutely. That kind of money could secure my kids’ futures (one ASD, one disabled and one other). Sex is great and all but it’s a personal pleasure and a small sacrifice for a massive gain.
You could help a lot of people with that kind of cash.

CasanovaFrankenstein · 16/05/2018 18:05

When can you transfer the cash?

Zacharysmummy12 · 16/05/2018 18:10

Daisysstew definitely 🤣🤣

UnimaginativeUsername · 16/05/2018 18:18

£150 million would be a nightmare to manage.

You can pay people to help with that. Grin

What about all the stories of lottery winners being miserable and wishing things had never changed?
That amount of money would become overwhelming and a burden and you'd be a target for users, kidnappers, burglaries
And you'd almost definitely lose your partner- or they'd be unfaithful - I'd be pretty upset if my partner said they'd take the money over our sex life

Hugsythespacecowboy · 16/05/2018 18:29

Yep. Didn't even need to think about it.

jessebuni · 16/05/2018 18:30

Having been weighing it up while reading this thread.

If a bit of self love is still allowed then yes I could easily just hug and kiss my DH for the rest of our lives if it made our lives and our kids lives more comfortable.

If not even allowed a bit of solo activity then no probably not. I’m not sure I could go without orgasms forever 😂 sex yes, orgasms no.

GothMummy · 16/05/2018 18:31

Meh. Its not a part of my life anyway so I couldn't care less, but even when it was, I would have taken the money (and quite frankly, a lot less).

Maccapacca88 · 16/05/2018 18:33

Noooooo! Never, no, nope, not on your nelly!

Shell4429 · 16/05/2018 18:36

I thought it was £150,000 Blush

Thekitten · 16/05/2018 18:41

Would be interesting to know the responses by gender eg were more women than men willingly to take the money.

Ethylred · 16/05/2018 19:09

Take the money and lie.
The Catholic church has been doing that for nearly 2,000 years.

LeighaJ · 16/05/2018 19:10

No and no amount of money would make me give it up forever.

I haven't had sex since April 19th (went in the hospital to have labour induced on the 20th) and it's been absolute torture.

But every time I think about having sex it reminds me to do my pelvic floor exercises... Grin

NolimitsSarah · 16/05/2018 19:39

@mirrivan I dont think id ever fancy any man over a million let alone 150.

Bjhsum · 16/05/2018 19:43

I have give it up for 10yrs this Aug for nothing. Unless the Q's means no sex not even man handling my ovary blaster cos that's had some hammer over the decade.

With my ex, I’d pay him to stay off sex.

SuspiciouslyMinded · 16/05/2018 20:33

^ I didn’t mean it to rhyme.

Sdavolight · 16/05/2018 20:35

As much as the money sounds good

No sex is not something I think I could do

CarefullyAirbrushedPotato · 16/05/2018 20:48

No, definitely not. Not for any money, I have plenty plenty of sex left to have!

Maybe one day, I wouldn't say never. I can't imagine being happy about it though

bimbobaggins · 16/05/2018 20:50

Sex yes, chocolate no

dudsville · 16/05/2018 20:50

I've never been successful at sex, never had great sex and haven't had it now for the last decade. I think I'm in arrears. I'll take the lump sum please.
