Indecent proposal (a 'what if' scenario)

[exhaustDAD]

Disclaimer: No, this is not something that is happening to me or someone I know, I am just curious to see what people think about it. We are all friends here, without our real names, on the internet, you can be honest :)
My wife has seen one of these silly videos on instagram where they ask people how much money they would cheat on their partners for... I just said it reminded me of the movie Indecent Proposal... And that made me think. I was a teenager when I saw that movie, and back then I used to think that everything has a price. I scoff at the mindset I used to have, but we've all been kids at one point :)

Would you say you'd have a price you'd cheat on your partner for? This will mean nothing, it's just a silly topic, but what would be your limit when you say, fine, for that amount, I would. You know, not some "bajillion-gazillion times infinite" type of nonsense, but the "minimum", if you will.

When you say 'cheat' do you mean, go behind your partner's back or shag someone else with his knowledge and/or consent?

However, such is my withered middle-aged self that I don't think I'd even be offered a fiver for my 'favours', so it's not really worth my agonising over the moral dilemma and my 'price' even if decided I had one 😆

Exactly! No amount of money would tempt me to risk my marriage. It’s too valuable.

I was a bit 🤨 towards RR after seeing Indecent Proposal (and I know he was acting but...) but my mum's always had a thing for him since Butch Cassidy. Luckily she never saw IP so she could swoon over him untainted.

Yeah I’d just agree an amount with DP and get on with it. I’ve had casual sex before and £100m+ is life changing enough that we’d both easily get over the ‘cheating’. 🤷‍♀️

I wouldn't cheat but if someone offered me a large amount 10k.+.to sleep with them I would definitely go for it.

I’m old now, but if a young Robert Redford made an indecent proposal to me I’d want to do it!😀 My DH would probably tell him to mind his back getting me out my wheelchair. I can’t reach my toenails at the moment so RR might want to cut them first or I’d need to keep my socks on 😂

I would definitely do it for a decent amount of money - maybe £800k minimum? But DH would be furious I think and probably dump me. So maybe it's not worth it financially speaking, as a divorce and losing half my assets would cost a LOT, more over a lifetime than a million (and would lose the love of my life blah blah)

£2m. But I’d discuss with DH first. If DH was offered the same by Michelle pfeiffer (his dream woman) I’d agree to that.

We are both crinkly and wrinkly nowadays so I’d likely drop off my perch whilst guffawing at the prospect and the deed would never be done.

At the moment I need money to help pay for Drs fees and tests for my ill Dd, so 10K would be ideal
I think it’s like anything, if you need the money, especially for your child, you’ll do pretty much anything

Behind DH's back? No way, not for any amount. But if DH knew and agreed, I'd say 17-20 mill oughta do it. I honestly don't know if he'd agree though, for any amount.

Robert Redford in his heyday would probably tell me I should pay him, sigh.

Thanks for all the laughs!

Glass of Bollinger! 😀

Exactly this, there would definitely be a price-point where my DH would be on board with it. It's just sex at the end of the day.

Some of your answers genuinely cracked me up, haha.

I agree with you, pretty much where I landed when I thought about it - Not the alienating friends and family bit, but the relationship part. Tons of money and comfort are one thing, but the thought of not having that exclusive intimacy anymore which i find special is something I couldn't set aside.

I'm single, if a man like Robert Refford in his late 40s early fitties want to flirt and have a shag I think I would do it for free.
With a parner I would have to be in a financial crisis and the money has to be life changing, like the million in the movie, and the man has to be handsome as hell. I would cheat, leave my partner because he likes money more than he likes me and make a good living of that money myself. LOL
I guess, that being a single mum of a 7 years old close to be 50s makes you very practical.

How about you, OP? How much would you be willing to accept to let a man you don’t know stick his willy up your bum and ejaculate? (I’m assuming you’re a man, BTW).

£2.5m. Pretty sure DH wouldn’t mind for that amount, he might even ask to watch!

50p and a pound of grapes.

That's correct, I sure am :)
Well, what I have is what I strongly believe in, and it could never be for sale, whatever the amount. I know what that sounds like, but I couldn't be on board with either - me doing it or my wife doing it. Categorically no.

I am guessing that rare, over-priced japanese grape variety at least!

If someone offered me enough money to go private and have surgery for my terminal cancer then I'd definitely do it.

NHS won't do it and there is a private hospital that would be willing but no way I can ever afford it.

I think my DH would be fine with it but even if he wasn't I'd do anything for a chance to see my two year old actually grow up.

50p and a pound of grapes? Some people are just plain greedy!

It's a quote from that fine literary work, The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole! But yes, M&S grapes at a bare minimum!

Jesus Christ that is tough, I'm really sorry you can't get the treatment you need.

I'd do it for a mil. I've never had a ONS and have no interest but it's just sex, it'll be over in 5 minutes I'm sure.
