Would you have sex-missionary with someone if offered money

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?

Of course I would and I wouldn't regret it at all. It's life changing money. It would leave the same impact on me as if he has put his finger in and out of my ear.

I'm happily married and I think dh would be a bit possesive but I would talk him around - it's 1 million pounds.

All this talk about losing your soul. My soul is already leaching out in a toxic work environment every day. I have another 20 years to work.

I would 100% swap that for a 10 min shag.

Demonhunter · 13/09/2024 00:10

With someone who looked like Robert Redford in his younger years? Hell yeah I would!

RogueFemale · 13/09/2024 00:10

Yes, I'd do it for £500K, for sure. Kind of normal after the sexual abuse of my teen years, so it'd be water off a duck's back.

Does it HAVE to be missionary?! Can't it be doggy?!

I was thinking that. Let him get on with it and not having to look at him would be preferable.

Synchronisedwitches · 13/09/2024 00:12

And I don't think it would be any more psychologically damaging than anything else I've experienced in life only this time I'd have 100k to help me get over it..

A good extension of this discussion is body parts.
Me and a friend who works in insurance were discussing that girl who got the payout from alton towers when her legs got crushed on the Smiler.
And how she may actually have considered it a lucky thing to have happened to her as she can now walk again with prosthetic legs and live a relatively normal life.. but she got 1million plus payout at 18 so she never has to worry much about money...
So we were discussing what body parts we'd give up for how much money..
Apparently there's a list of how much body parts are worth in terms of insurance and/or in court cases regarding accidents that weren't your fault!! There's a whole list of what say, losing a finger, or an ear, would be worth financially

MsLavender · 13/09/2024 00:12

Absolutely. I'm in a relationship so would check with DP first but I think he'd allow it as a one off, missionary for half a million. Actually even if he said no I'd have to tell him I was doing it anyway because I couldn't turn down that sum of money when I think of how it would benefit my child and I'd have to put him first. Going to ask him in a bit (when he's not busy) if he would do it too!

girljulian · 13/09/2024 00:13

For half a million? In a heartbeat! It would never happen but obvs yes.

Ponoka7 · 13/09/2024 00:15

I'd want £12k to get my teeth done.

Saturdayblurs · 13/09/2024 00:17

I wouldn’t for any amount of money, the thought turns my stomach. I’m not judging anyone else, live and let live, just for me personally I feel repulsed even thinking about it.

pizzaHeart · 13/09/2024 00:17

SusannaSpider · 13/09/2024 00:02

If I was single I would for a decent amount - £500k would do nicely. But I'm married, I couldn't be unfaithful and even if DH knew and was OK with it, then I'd think less of him for being OK with it - Not sure that makes any sense🤦‍♀️

This ^ for me.

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

But you say "You know you had been a prostitute" like its a negative thing. In this scenario he is prepared to pay whatever it costs so you have the power. A shag that would mean nothing to me in terms of the physical act versus the difference it would make to my life in terms of financial benefits.....no brainer. A prostitute who is genuinely choosing to sell sex is not a victim or some second rate human.

The ability to choose is different to a woman who is trafficked or pimped or is servicing an addiction and has no real choice.

Some would say that he is buying my consent, I disagree. I would say that, in this scenario, I am charging him for my consent. Small but significant difference.

Probably more likely to be a Jacob Rees-Mogg doppelganger.

But for a million quid, I'm still game.

MsLavender · 13/09/2024 00:21

Okay just asked the other half if he would do it and he said if I allowed it he would. I gave him side eye and said "you wouldn't do it if I said no?". He then says he'd dump me, do it and then get back with me so that it wasn't cheating 😂

No way would I give up my legs for 1 million. Prosthetics have come a long way, but I don't believe they're anywhere near having your own normal legs.

Do you think 100k really enough to 'help you get over' unwanted sex with a guy you find physically loathsome and disgusting? Whose hands are crawling all over your body? Better the 100k than no money for the same experience (rape), but no.

I wouldn't be giving up a finger or an ear either. I have seen some insurance payout limits, albeit in the context of credit cards, which I presume price things lower than health or travel accident insurance might, but they all seemed very low to me for the damage suffered.

Shineybrightthings · 13/09/2024 00:22

Half a million? bring it on! After 40 years of celibacy I hope I can remember what to do. If I enjoy it how much would I need to pay for round 2 the following weekend and possibly set up a direct debit for a weekly visit? I’m saving up for a stair lift and don’t want to leave myself short 😆

I have private accident cover through work. There's a full list of how much they'll pay you for loss of body parts in their policy. I can't remember the specifics but can recall that they differentiate between fingers and thumbs and toes and big toes. Thumbs and big toes were worth quite a bit more!

TwistedWonder · 13/09/2024 00:23

No I couldn’t. I can’t even get think about getting physical with anyone I don’t feel a connection with do the thought of having sex with a random repulses me tbh

But you use the phrase "unwanted sex", which in this scenario it isnt for the women who would agree.

They want the sex in exchange for the money. And I disagree that it would be rape because, as I said before, they are not buying my consent. I am giving my consent in exchange for their money. I am choosing because I have a choice.

Josette77 · 12/09/2024 23:57

No.

I've had sex I've regretted and didn't get paid, I'd be fine getting paid.

That said I'd only want my partner to do it if they were less attractive than me. It's shallow but it's true.

Yeah that's terrible but I'm the same. I'd do it for way less than half a million though I get uncomfortable when I start chopping down the figures and learn how low I'd go. Only if I could tell DP because I'd not be unfaithful to him. I think he'd be more fine with it than I would if the situation was reversed.

Teenagerantruns · 13/09/2024 00:25

Definitely, l think i would be up for it for £50k plus,..not that its ever going to happen I'm 50+ and fat, can't see anyone paying for it to be honest. I mean it's just sex and if it's missionary at least it's low effort sex.

God I'd much rather have my legs than a million pounds.

EveryDayisFriday · 13/09/2024 00:26

Yes, definitely. I've had disappointing sex for free so it would nice to get some dosh for the same disappointment. Sex is just physical, yes it means more if you are with someone you love but if you aren't it's just a physical act like brushing your teeth.

HoppingPavlova · 13/09/2024 00:28

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

Bloody oath and I’d be using a cattle prod if need be - US$1million in 1993 is US$2,176,747.40 today. I’d then ask him to donate it to our kids saving for a flat😁.

Edited to add, I’d also get him to try and wrangle a top notch suit out of the deal as well, because Demi got the dress as well as the cash🤣.

BlackShuck3 · 13/09/2024 00:28

I wouldn't be up for loss of body parts I'm pretty damn sure!!

Snoringfamily · 13/09/2024 00:28

Ok doesn’t have to be missionary to those asking, but isn’t that the easiest, less worst option?! Get very drunk, close eyes, think of the money 😬
