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?

I think that many of us have had sex that left us feeling used and unhappy with men that were supposed (and claimed) to love us. So the idea of doing exactly that with someone who made no such claims but we were left with a life changing amount of money isnt a huge issue.

Its not a massive leap in terms of self worth or "losing soul". I lost far more of my soul when my ex husband raped me than I ever would in a transactional "yes you can shag me as soon as £XXX hits my bank account". The sex would be done and I would get something out of it.

Again, perhaps age and experience makes a difference to views on this.

Just once, for a life changing amount, like lotto winning amount £10 million. No touching, no kissing, in the dark. Yes.

The likelihood is about the same as winning the lottery.

As a father of 3 at 35 and been single for 7 years I’d say yes to improving my children’s and my life

Indecent Proposal was not about sex it was about the power he had to destroy the young couples relationship with his money.

Abbylikeswine · 13/09/2024 01:26

Interesting story about indecent proposal.

I read demi moores book. She said that she had a weird director on indecent proposal.

She said that she was filming the sex scene and the director would be shouting at her "yes I got a boner when you did that! "

If you do research into it, a lot of studies show that women who do prostitution, do end up becoming psychologically damaged

Yeah, but they aren't damaged by a highly paid one-off requiring no weirdness or pain.

In case you're confused, prostitutes have to have a lot of unpleasant, unchosen sex with unpleasant people they did not choose. Women and men who, like my younger self, have freely-chosen sex with whom they want, as often as they want, are not remotely harmed by it (unless something goes wrong).

Delonghi88 · 13/09/2024 01:16

Nope that’s not a thing I’d say at all

Hmm, what was your previous username? Why the name change to hand around a thread talking to women about sex?

Garlictest · 13/09/2024 01:27

Eeuww, @Abbylikeswine. The film industry's pretty disgusting, isn't it? (I hope it's a bit better these days.)

You said it's a highly paid one off with no weirdness.

How do you know there'd be no weirdness.

What if the man paying you for one off sex is fat, ugly, has bad hygiene and is really nasty.

It's not usually the nice men who pay for it

Delonghi88 · 13/09/2024 01:30

Firstly this is the first time I have EVER been here and no I commented on a thread, stop before you start insinuating things. My posts were singular to me. No suggestions no insinuating either nice try tho but I won’t bite

Because this thread is based on the hypothetical scenario the OP asked about.

One off missionary sex that is over quickly. So on that basis, the no weirdness is implied. I will admit that the missionary part of it is my biggest issue, not the sex itself.

Abbylikeswine · 13/09/2024 01:32

I just think it's interesting. I'm not saying you're wrong. It's just interesting.

I've seen a lot of posts on mumsnet where women say that they couldn't be with a man , if he had been with a prostitute.

As it would show that he a bad character. They describe men who have been with prostitutes as absolutely disgusting.

Yet, then you get a lot of women on this thread saying that they would sell themselves for sex

Namebechanged · 13/09/2024 01:33

Name changed for this but - I used to have sex occasionally for money while I was working full time.

I did it for money but - also for fun as I met interesting guys and enjoyed the power dynamic. When a guy lays down money he tells you what he really wants and I enjoyed that.

Sometimes we'd end up not having sex as we'd be talking too long, or they didn't want full sex. I considered it as a career but I got offered a lot of money from a man who wanted me on the side while he kept his 24 year marriage. I didn't want anything to do with hurting the other woman on the other side of the transaction.

He said "She'll never know."
I replied "She's been your life partner for 24 years, trust me, she'll know."

So unfortunately as much as I'm fine with the 'money for sex' dimension, I'm not okay with the cheaters.

All my partners and friends know I've done it - It's not something that I feel ashamed about, but I'm definitely the minority. I really think the average woman would feel they've 'given something away' by doing what I've done, I just happen to think very differently from social norms.

Garlictest · 13/09/2024 01:34

@Abbylikeswine, the OP says "Missionary only, over quickly".

I could deal with the awful bloke for a solitary shag and the money. My "soul" would be untouched by this scenario!

In more usual situations - the best sexual compliment I ever received was "She brings her whole self into the bed. Then she takes her whole self back with her."

Wisterical · 13/09/2024 01:35

No, because the type of man who would pay for sex isn't someone I'd ever agree have sex with, under any circumstances.

And a man just had to answer the one about sex....on a predominantly women's forum as your 'first' post. Nevermind in 7 days you can have access to the sex board where all the other men hang around.

Just4thisthreadtoday · 13/09/2024 01:55

@Synchronisedwitches

well, I doubt he'd be talking about fishing or Reform, while having sex with me. Portly middle aged man, yes, fine.

for the house definitely.

@Snoringfamily

yes, absolutely would. I don't know how much my lower limit would be? Do we get to meet him before we decide how much?

a lot of sex is 'transactional' whether people want to admit it or not, down to 'if I have sec with him Friday night, he won't be a grumpy arse all weekend'

My thoughts are: sex with someone you love can be very deep & emotional. But sex can be mind blowing as just a physical act with someone you don't love, it can also be crap. I can be emotionally detached.

Obviously it's better when you find them attractive, but as long as there's plenty of lube if you don't... I could fake it.

a million pounds would make that easier.

there's obviously a monetary point which makes sex with someone you're not attracted to that would make me agree. But not sure what that would be, may be £10,0000?

not based on any kind of worth, simply the point at which I'd probably regret saying 'no'

Just4thisthreadtoday · 13/09/2024 01:57

Delonghi88 · 13/09/2024 01:09

If I could make money for it then I’d consider it but there’s not a market for single fathers lol

@Delonghi88

im not so sure about that!!

Delonghi88 · 13/09/2024 01:58

Oh here we go pick on a guy just because he happens to see this and comment, I just showed you it was the first thread that came up and it’s not the only one I spoke on either. I’ve said nothing sexual or derogatory to anyone either. I don’t want to joint a sex board or thread either, stop gaslighting me. I really don’t know why you have a problem with me is it something I said or just because I am male and have commented on this thread ? I’d love to know.
