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.

Just asked my husband this and his reply was 'i'd cut my cock off for a hundred million quid.' 😂 Good to know.

QueenOfIce · 15/05/2018 09:56

What if you said yes took the money but ignored the fine print..who would know?

Bearhunter09 · 15/05/2018 10:02

No way! I need sex to feel alive. If I could never have sex again I’d be miserable for the rest of my life. It’s bad enough DH only fancies it every few weeks. Miserable so no!

Where do I sign?

TheFatkinsDiet · 15/05/2018 10:08

At the minute, I’d say yes, I would. But I’ve got a young baby and the tiredness, breastfeeding and hormones seem to have definitely killed my sex drive. I think that normally I might say differently. I’ll have to think again in six months time.

Bear it always strikes me as a real irony that those of us with zero interest in sex seem to be married to people with a high sex drive and vice versa Grin.

VileyRose · 15/05/2018 10:33

No

ToastyFingers · 15/05/2018 11:13

I would.
I love sex,and have a great sex life with DH but 150m would mean my family wouldn't have to be poor for generations. My daughters would be able to really enjoy life, And pursue anything they wanted, without the limitations of having very little money.

I would miss sex terribly but it would be a very worthwhile sacrifice.

Should1stayorshould1go · 15/05/2018 11:15

right this minute?
Seriously, where do I sign up?

Ginkypig · 15/05/2018 11:17

I am interested in sex, when I'm having it I very much enjoy it but Iv also lived for sometimes quite long periods of my life not having it and it's been fine too.

Baubletrouble43 · 15/05/2018 12:23

I have a partner whos good in bed .... so no I couldn't!

Baubletrouble43 · 15/05/2018 12:24

Having said that I was single throughout my thirties and went years without.... Can be done.

Oblomov18 · 15/05/2018 12:40

£1.50 day more than 2 posters? Ha ha.

MidniteScribbler · 15/05/2018 12:47

Without any hesitation.

Where do I pick up my $150mil?

MismatchedStripySocks · 15/05/2018 12:53

Knowing how horny I was after a 2.5 year dry patch I would find it very difficult so not sure I could commit to a whole lifetime of celibacy. DH probably wouldn’t be best pleased either Grin

Ohmydayslove · 15/05/2018 12:55

So cuddle kiss a dildo and 150 million!! Er yes

Only with the dildo though Wink

halfwitpicker · 15/05/2018 12:56

Yes please.

Racecardriver · 15/05/2018 12:58

Yes!

RickOShay · 15/05/2018 13:09

It’s surprised me that I said no tbh.
I am 50, so no more dc, but it’s like giving away your soul. Sex is a kind of freedom from everything.

Mumto2two · 15/05/2018 13:10

Yes yes yes!!

MeetMeInMontauk · 15/05/2018 13:15

Pretty sure that there's no foof out there more alluring than a cool £150m, so I'd almost certainly waive my shagging rights too.

SoapOnARoap · 15/05/2018 13:33

Sex is far too enjoyable for that. No amount of money would be enough to give it up

Lupercalia · 15/05/2018 14:03

Nope.

Sex is fab and a huge part of our life together.
It is priceless.

corcaithecat · 15/05/2018 14:10

I would for much much less. Never really enjoyed sex so no loss there.

NolimitsSarah · 15/05/2018 14:10

I would. I think men love sex more than women.
