Would you have sex-missionary with someone if offered money

687 replies

If so, how much would it have to be?

Discussion at work quite a few years ago, inspired by the Demi Moore film. I was younger and had more money than now. If someone asked you to sleep with them for x amount of money-say half a million, would you? Missionary only, over quickly
I was aghast and said no, most said of course they would.

Now, I think I feel differently

Would you?

How many women here would be OK with their husbands or partners shagging another woman if were offered a similar amount of money?

I would. If we had both discussed it openly, honestly, and agreed it together I wouldnt mind.

The issue I have with cheating is the lying and betrayal. It's completely different if it's something you have both discussed.

If my DH had a take it leave it, now or never offer of say £500k, I'd fully expect to drop his trousers. I can forgive him in our lovely new house, or on our lovely holiday.

lol, I wonder what the responses would also be if your husband came home with (say) £250k and said "darling, I was offered this money on a whim, I didn't have time to consult with you, and I took one for the team".

velvetcoat · 13/09/2024 09:29

Gossip would be jealousy more than anything

Exactly! its clear from this thread that a LOT of people would at least consider it too so those gossiping about me would also do it given half the chance

For myself, it would taint the money, and everything I bought with it.

You might say, with half a million you could buy a house outright and have the security of not having to pay any rent or a mortgage. But then I'd be trapped in that house and it would be a constant reminder of what I'd done to get it.

Well it would depend on what you did. Having some missionary sex with a good looking stranger wouldn’t be a big deal for me. I absolutely wouldn’t do it if the person repulsed me though,

I'd high five him then make him get an STD test whilst I browsed Zoopla for half million pound houses.

Depends on my circumstances and the person offering. If I’m in a relationship and my partner is not on board then not for any amount of money. If I’m single probably yes if the relevant person isn’t too hideous/horrible. That amount of money would be life changing.

If I wanted to have sex with the person anyway, then I'm not going to object to being paid on top, but the implicit scenario is having sex with someone only for the money, who you wouldn't otherwise want to have sex with.

Why no viagra?!

@peachgreen Thats actually another, interesting side to the discussion! If our dps, Dh’s we’re offered the same scenario, would we give our blessing

Probably

Bomdigi · 13/09/2024 09:32

I’m a tuppenney hooer so I’d do it for maybe tuppence ha’penny.

Abbylikeswine · 13/09/2024 00:01

You can't know until you do it though.

The difference is that you would know that you had been a prostitute. And that might eat away at you.

You could be fine either. But I think it may cause damage

The money would pay for counselling to get over it

OohShakiraShakira · 13/09/2024 09:33

Yes, I would. Assuming it is quick missionary with no enthusiasm needed by me, and the man isn't completely smelly or repellent. I reckon for that money, my OH would be fine with it too. If I'm being paid, like the Demi Moore and Robert Redford movie, my minimum would probably be £25k. I've had sex I don't particularly want or enjoy for free in the past, as long as I have some lube and a couple of double vodkas, I reckon I'd be fine to have sex for a decent amount of money.

The13thFairy · 13/09/2024 09:35

Yes, and for a lot less than half a million.

Allnewtometoo · 13/09/2024 09:37

I would and I'm not sure it would bother me even a tiny bit.

Many women (and men) will marry a wealthy partner purely for financial security. In that marriage you might be expected to wash their dirty socks/pants, provide them with children, cook them meals every night, tolerate their family, perhaps deal with unpleasant behaviour from them PLUS sleep with them frequently. I know plenty of women who are with men simply because they cannot afford to leave. I'd sooner have the cash and freedom than feel shackled to a miserable life forever.

I think simply exchanging sex for money is a quicker and more honest way of dealing with things.

I'm not going to pretend that my answer is the one true answer, but I think the reason I prefer the scenario of doing my wife's laundry for decades, and all the rest, is that the main way I show my love is through acts of service, and so dealing with her fragrant period pants is not the vile indignity it would be if they belonged to a stranger, because my love transforms the act into something noble.

Having sex with someone I didn't want to have sex with for money would feel purely like coercion.

I appreciate everyone is different though!

BIossomtoes · 13/09/2024 09:41

I’d have done it in a heartbeat if enough money had been involved and given my bloke my blessing. We’re too old now.

sesquipedalian · 13/09/2024 09:42

This thread reminds me of a joke about Churchill, who said to the lady sitting next to him at dinner, “Would you sleep,with me for a million pounds?” At which she fluttered and giggled and said, “Oh, Sir Winston.” He then said, “Well, would you sleep with me for five pounds?”, at which she bridled and said, “Sir Winston, what do you take me for?” He replied, “That, madam, we have already established: we are now merely haggling over the price”.

And would I sleep with someone for half a mil? You bet! That’s an awful lot of money.

I mean people who marry others who they don't love and are not attracted to purely for financial reasons, surely in that case you'd be doing those things out of obligation reluctantly and not through love.

I too show my love through acts of service and I'm more than happy to do things for my partner. If I was there for financial security and that alone it would be different, it would feel more of a chore and less like an act of love.

Yes, in that scenario it would definitely be better to do something reluctantly once, and then have the financial independence, than to do the same thing, but over and over for a lifetime of financial dependence.

RaininSummer · 13/09/2024 09:47

Hypothetically yes I would. No one would want to pay me as I am over 60. When I was young it would have been a definite no as it meant something to me. 50 grand would fix my crumbling house.

Pookerrod · 13/09/2024 09:47

For £1m I’d give him a jolly good time in the hope he’s want another another go. I think that sort of money would make me quite enthusiastic in the bedroom.

I wonder if the film would do so well if released today? I remember it being discussed as some huge moral dilemma but I don’t know if society’s attitudes to sex have changed or whether it’s just me and I’m older but I don’t see it as a moral dilemma at all now, it’s a no brainer!

Ha! Yeah. This. And I'd do it for less than that myself. I wouldn't do it behind his back though. I'm not into deceit. And it's not like he wouldn't find out. He'd want to know where the money came from.

Same. Who on earth would say no to this? It’s easy money. Even if he was physically a bit grim it’s such a short time. You could work years and years and years in a horrible toxic job and still not make that.

I wish this was real 🤣
