Indecent proposal (a 'what if' scenario)

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.

I find it strange that the biggest consideration is how it affects the man who owns you. No Im not for sale at any price.

I wouldn’t cheat for any money. But as I am single, I expect there is a sum … it that anyone would consider paying my 60+ year old self !!

I’m not sure if I could hold up my end of the bargain. I’m autistic, and highly responsive to sensory stimuli to the point that an ongoing uncomfortable sensation can trigger a shutdown.

In my younger days, I had to back out of bed, with someone who seemed very attractive until we were skin to skin, and for whatever unaccountable reason, my body did not like his body.

I’d be terrible at prostitution because I can’t just compartmentalise the distaste and get on with it. On the other hand a lot of women use drugs to overcome that problem so I’m probably not unique.

I don't think there is an amount of money to be honest.

I'm not naturally sexually monogamous. I'd happily sleep with as many people if I could if DP was OK with it. And I really really like sex. So the only reason I don't do it is because I'm not willing to hurt DP.

I'm also not that financially oriented, and fairly financially comfortable. Not having to work and have a few more holidays would be nice, but I actually quite like my life as it is.

So given that I'm not willing to hurt DP to have something I'd really really enjoy (a varied sex life), I'm not likely to do it for something I'd enjoy less ( the money)

My vagina ain’t for hire, sorry!
