Who's reading Dicconzane (21):
In a paper today it stated that a third (i think) of English people would give up sex for life for a million pounds (nearly two million USD).
 
Could I do this? Noway, nohow. It's a part of life I enjoy far too much and I don't see that the money would make me more happy than living a less well off life but being able to enjoy more of life. I'm not saying sex is the be all and end all but it's certainly apart of life I wouldn't want to give up. There's a lot to explore (and oh so much fun exploring it) and it's linked in with so much else in terms of intimacy and building a good relationship.
 
So my question for today is could you and would you give up sex for that amount or any amount of money? Could you give up your friends for that amount? Your family? What that means something to you could and would you give up for a million?
 
I can't think of anything serious that I would.

    Can think of lots not serious I would though if I could, papercuts, call centres, work, commuting, insomnia, illness, telesales calls, rude people, stupid people, people trying to scam money from me, people lying to me (so quite a few people all told), and ravioli... off the top of my head.

    for a million dollars? i honestly don't know. i don't think i'd sell out anything or anyone, although i'll say this: there's no way in the world i'm giving up sex for even a year, no matter the amount of money. i need the sex in my life more than i need the money.

    hm...i might be able to kill someone for a million, though. one million could buy an awful lot of conscience-relief...maybe if i were given some evidence that this was a bad person. no, maybe not even then. there's a number of things i've avoided in life and i think i want that to remain one of 'em.

    Hmmm... killing someone... I don't know on way or the other. Never had any cause to think about it.
     
    What about sleeping with someone? If so... anyone at all?

    I would never be able to do it. I enjoy sex too much to give it up for anything...

    Yes, I could give up sex for a million pounds....just place the money in my fixed deposit first until I am, say 75; then, I can use viagra.

    That wouldn't count as sex, would it?

    Seriously though, I could give up television for 3 million pounds sterling....thank God for movie theatres!

    How does pounds translate into dollars? If its a million here then since i'm 1/2 way there I'd go all the way. lol

    well, I'm pretty much celibate these days anyway, so I could handle that.  I'd like to rechannel my sexual energy into more creative endeavors anyway, and if someone would be willing to hand over a bunch of money to grease the wheels, well, hell yeah.  But it would depend on how they would want to go about verifying my celibacy.  They'd have to take my word for it, because i will not give up my privacy.  Nor would i ever give up chocolate... at any price.  Some things are just sacred.

    nah, count me out.

    Hmm...if it was for a period of time, like a year, and my DH was ok with it, I think I could manage that. But for a lifetime - no way, and even a year would be difficult. Sex is a priceless form of communication for us, though heaven knows we could use more money than we have right now, esp. with a baby on the way! :-D

    I would give up the internet for a million pounds, I think...nah...maybe...I don't know. I do know I wouldn't sell my body or do harm to others for any amount.

    Hi !Disco, this is a biological need and to give it up for money would be simply foolishness.

    pd.

  • sweetsoul said on Jan 30, 2007....
    Damn why wasn't this offer available all those years I was celibate??!!
     
    To answer your question though...no. I don't need the money that badly and sex gives me more of a thrill that whatever I'd buy with the excess money.

    Give up sex?? God no! Not for any amount.

Have you heard of the book "Emmeline" by Judith Rosner (maybe two s's). It was set in the early 1800's & is rumored to be true. Emmeline was a poor farm girl sent to work in the mills....
