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

[Jimwenttothedarklands]

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.

Thing is £150 million is totally life changing...the world is your oyster, there is just so much you could do with that money. I'd totally do it for that much.

A million or less...no way!

Hell yes! As long as we can still be intimate by kissing and cuddling.

It would change my life and my children's drastically (obviously). I could access private MH services for my husband, no more having to worry that disability benefits will stop, buy my house, help my mum out. I have two elderly relatives who are in a dire situation, that money could help so much with that. The difference it would make would be worth not having sex again.

Sex is important , but the difference that money could make to myself and those I love would be worth any hardship.

It would not end our marriage. DH loves sex but like me, he finds more intimacy in cuddling and talking than actual intercourse. Our marriage would be better if anything, because we would have much less stressors.

No, its my lovely intimate time with my DP who i love dearly

6 months ago I'd say no because I've no desire for big money but now we've bought an ancient house that's falling down round our ears and costing us a fortune I'd have to say yes.

But then, after sorting the house, I'd absolutely renege on the deal because I'm defiant by nature.

I think I would.

Which has surprised me because I'm a horny beast and love sex, HOWEVER, I am single, haven't had sex in ages and don't particularly miss it, have my lovely DS and critically I also have financial problems.

150m would enable me to resolve my financial problems and those of my siblings, and provide everything for DS's future to be secure and safe. and then I'd be able to be SO busy having such a lot of fun I think I'd miss the sex even less.

That said I'd probably buckle at the first attractive guy who gave me the come on so... I'd end up in some sort of contractual dispute

soup , with 150 mil in the bank you wouldnt have any trouble getting a suitor ! that could be a real flaw with the Ts and C's of this. lol

It's all very well for those born into relatively rich classes to tell us lower ones that money isn't everything. It isn't, but it buys one hell of a lot: without it you find out just how much those other things require it.

Yep.

It's not because we have bad sex, we don't. Giving up sex for security seems a no- brainer to me. To not have to be at the hands of the government when they decide to cut disability benefits, or move you to Universal Credits. To not have to rely on our crumbling NHS for scarce MH services.

It would be interesting to know if those who are saying they wouldn't give up sex have decent health and if they are financially comfortable.

Oh god no way. I get grumpy and frustrated if I don’t have sex at least a few times a week. I sleep better after a shag and am much more relaxed and happy the next day. £150m with no shagging would be really frustrating, because you could afford to spend the time and money to make yourself super attractive but you wouldn’t be able to do anything with your gorgeousness.

Not a chance! Money can't buy that kind of 'happiness'...

Well now let me think about this.........................YES! YES! YES!

I'd take being poor and happy over being rich and miserable every time

No need to be asked twice......YES 😄

I'd take being poor and happy over being rich and miserable every time

Have you been on your knees poor? Because for the majority of people it is pretty hard to be happy when you are very poor and worrying about money constantly, and don't have enough to keep warm and well fed.

I have never been poor, but from the poor people I know, happiness is not easy to come by when they are facing so much hardship. Good sex doesn't solve that.

I don't believe money alone can buy happiness, but it can solve a hell of a lot of problems which sure helps.

Yes I would .its been that long what does it matter anyway 😂

Sex = yes
Wanking = probably not

I’m poor and celibate. Wealthy celibacy? Bring it on!

No

I haven’t done it for ten years, but no £150,000. Perhaps I should start a go fund me, all donations welcome

It’s a no brainer. !!! YES. That sort of money brings absolute freedom and choice , sex is a transient pleasure , can’t pay the bills , can’t give you financial security , cant give you the freedom to do what you want when you want how you want !

Absolutely U2HasTheEdge anyone who would
take sex (no matter how amazing) over financial security has never been in a situation where they’ve not known where the next meal is coming from.

DH and I haven't had sex in four years due to various issues (on his side) so I'd rather be rich and celibate if I have to be anyway.

And that kind of money can buy financial security for generations.

£1.5 million no,
£150 million hell yes!

£150 million would be a nightmare to manage. Just too much of a life changing amount to give up anything for. Even if I split it it would mean more than £5 million each for every family member including all my cousins. I sort of feel it would so much change the dynamic of my and their lives it would not actually turn out to be for the better. What do you do about friends for instance? And where would you move to?
How about £10 million? Feels more manageable without completely turning your life upside down.
