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.

id do it for 150 pence

MistressDeeCee · 15/05/2018 00:36

Absolutely yes. I do like sex tho. I just don't love it to the point of being unable to do without. Knowing my luck once I'd banked the money I'd get raging nympho urge and spend the rest of my life in torment.

INeedNewShoes · 15/05/2018 00:42

Yes! I've been single the vast majority of the time, so why not be rich and single?!

In fact I'd do it for:

£15m - definitely
£1.5m - still definitely
£150k - this is the point at which I'm unsure
£15k - no

DioneTheDiabolist · 15/05/2018 00:47

£150 million?

Fuck yeah!GrinGrinGrin

TuTru · 15/05/2018 00:54

I can take it or leave it these days. But I could put the money to good use on my children and grandaughter. Pets, farm animals, helping out my mum etc
I’d defo be giving up sex to be able to do all those things.

Pinkbedsheets · 15/05/2018 00:57

Absolutely. That kind of money would change mine, my family’s and more lives. I could live without sex knowing my family and I will be finically secure in years to come. I’m young so if I wanted any more kids, i’d adopt. The pleasure side of it, i’d just have to live without Wine

150 m?!?
Are you taking the piss?
I’d have it sewn up for half the price!

Ginkypig · 15/05/2018 01:56

I like sex but Iv also been fine with being celibate.

If I could add a caveat of being allowed give back £1.000.000 once a year to have sex then it would be a definite yes.

Whatwaswrongwiththatusername · 15/05/2018 02:13

Hmm, must admit, that would be a very attractive offer and would not need thinking about. My initial thought was 'good god, yes, in a flash!'. Then I realised it wouldn't just affect me so it would have to be a joint decision by me and the other 'alf Sigh So maybe not as straightforward a yes as I thought it would be, he'd have to have his say, and when it comes down to the nitty gritty the actual question/answer could be more 'are you prepared to lose your relationship for £150m?'. How many of you would change your view or answer if it came down to the realisation that this may actually be more what the reality of the question was? Am I overthinking this? Would I be hugely envious of all the single folk being able to just go 'fuck, yeah, hand me the money!'? Yes. Yes I would 😆 (have I thought this through a little too much??🤦🏼‍♀️

lostinjapan · 15/05/2018 02:14

I love sex, but YES. Without a shadow of a doubt. It's 150 million FFS.

Copperbonnet · 15/05/2018 02:23

No.

I can’t be bought.

Bexter801 · 15/05/2018 02:45

Well if you said yeah and took the money....who's going to observe that you definitely never have sex again,so yeah 🙂

ScaredPAD · 15/05/2018 02:58

Yep. Could buy so much healthcare and security with that.

MaryShelley1818 · 15/05/2018 05:36

Definitely not!!
I love sex and no amount of money would make me ever consider giving that side of our relationship up.

Ansumpasty · 15/05/2018 06:15

Don’t even have to think about that one. I’d do it for 1 million

MissusGeneHunt · 15/05/2018 06:18

Yes with a capital Y...!!

NoodlesLivesHere · 15/05/2018 06:48

I could easily.

The life my family could live for a reasonably painless sacrifice from me would be incredible. My disabled mother could have a fully adapted home and all the additional help she needs, DH could retire, my children and their futures would be financially secure - as would those of my nephews and nieces, I'd 'employ' my cousin to care for my gran so she could give up her job (she already cares for my gran along with looking after her own 6 children and working). I'd also be able to give friends/close family a life changing financial boost so that they can clean their slates and only work to pay for living costs rather than trying to clear mortgages etc. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

So many lives could be improved by a personal sacrifice that some people never have a choice in anyway. Where do I sign up?

BarbedBloom · 15/05/2018 06:50

No. No amount of money.

The80sweregreat · 15/05/2018 07:06

Not sure - it’s a lot of money so very tempting! Who is going to pay it then police the terms and conditions though? How would they know ?

BoobleMcB · 15/05/2018 07:15

Could you still do it for procreation purposes?

Furano · 15/05/2018 07:21

Yes.

I would give it up for 1.5m as well to be fair.

NorthernKnickers · 15/05/2018 07:24

Well I've not had sex for 15 years, so I can't see an issue with this for me personally 😂😂. So yes...show me the 💰

ShowOfHands · 15/05/2018 07:28

Morally, I'd like to state that I can't be bought in any way.

But theoretically, I wouldn't care about giving up sex. Never understood the fuss. I could get my Dad and my Grandma proper healthcare and sort out my brother's house for him. There's no question.

SprayingMonsters · 15/05/2018 07:35

I couldn’t do it 😫
