Would you have sex with a stranger for $10 000? (You choose sex, age, etc.)

Wait, does question 4 mean you have to have sex with someone to get the listed benefits? If so, then no. Also no to any amount of money, and yes, I know what that means and that a million dollars is a lot of money. The answer is still no.

[Skycaptain]

Cake yes, so long as it doesn't trigger diabetes 

 

The sex with argument may not stand up 

[Guest]

Yes to all of them!

 

For $100k, I wouldn't even care if they hadn't brushed their teeth.

And be just like all the other heartless money grubbers out there? No bloody way. Incidentally, that kind of "person" is as common as the dirt under one's feet where I live.

While I'm 100% on the 'no way' team, I don't think answering yes to any of these questions makes anyone 'that kind of "person"', 'a heartless money grubber' or comparable to 'dirt under one's feet' in any way. We should stop tying people's value to their decisions about sex, thank you very much

I was thinking the same thing, kind of beats the point, right?

Money doesn't buy happiness? Yes, yes it does. Maybe not for everyone. It has nothing to do with greed, it has everything to do with having no money, not being able to eat well, not being able to afford medical insurance, etc. If i had $100,000 in my bank account, I'd be far, far happier and far, far less stressed. A million? No question.

 

I probably wouldn't spend most of it, just having it would keep my mind off of being on the street, unmedicated. That is happiness. The effects that would have on my wellbeing are tremendous. Should I run into one problem, I have about 2 months to live on. If you aren't living paycheck to paycheck, I can understand resisting the money, but a lot of people are on that cusp.

 

And I'm not discounting anyone's sex repulsion, this is just for me - but offering that much money is enough for a ton of people that has nothing to do with being greedy.

As far as I know, it rarely lasts that long, usually around the 5-15 minute mark.

Dont jump the gun too quickly. I live the same as you, barely making enough to get by to the point that the threat of ending up homeless is constant. However the level of repulsion that would be caused as an effect of going through with the act, even if I was set for life, that one thing would make every day a living hell. No amount of money would be able to fix that because Ive already tried it before.

 

Mind you I didnt have the insane amounts being offered but I was relatively ok (at least much better than now) and when I, in wanting  to get over the hurdle brought by the constant shaming of not wanting sex actually setted up a day, with someone who wasnt even a total stranger, figured that "sex was sex" and tried going about it. When it was about to begin, I couldnt go through with the act. I spent a long time regretting the entire thing and it didnt even go through with it; so actually putting myself in this situation would not justify it.

I wasn't tying them together, although it seems to have sounded that way, thank you very much. You may have read the original post a little too quickly.

 

I would be grateful if people around here would try to establish a good rapport with me before getting critical, instead of ignoring me until I say something they interpret as offensive.

This thread reminded me of how and why prostitution exists, how some wealthy people take advantage of poorer people, for sexual favors, with the promise of money.

It was mainly a gripe about how so many people consider money as being more important than anything else. Also, where I live is known for a low standard of living among other undesirable things and human interactions tend to be little more than business transactions in most cases. The "dirt under one's feet" remark wasn't referring to anyone's value, just the ubiquity of certain types of people. It's like late-model Hondas and Toyotas, can't go anywhere without seeing dozens of them. Of course my perception is somewhat limited as I've never seen a real city.

[SithLord]

Lol I've discussed this exact thing with my bf. He has a lower money limit to when he's willing to fuck a stranger, obviously, but I wouldn't be opposed to the idea since it never specified how much involvement is required on my part (meaning I can be a dead fish) and I can imagine the person at least being nice and considerate and whatever. It's an imaginary scenario, after all.

One can debate whether or not prostitution should be considered people being taken advantage of. Certainly some of the time at least, maybe even most of the time, but I doubt it's true all the time. Some people just sell sex rather than other things. And if one expands that to sex work in general, meaning the porn industry, strip clubs, etc., then it's certainly not always people being taken advantage of. 

 

I find one reason people vilify prostitution is because they see it as always some poor woman who can't make ends meat so sells her body in a desperate attempt to stay alive, or else is forced to sell her body because of a pimp or trafficker or what have you. They see the woman (and rarely look at male prostitution) as a victim rather than a willing participant.

That's probably not what you're doing, I just wanted to rant a little. 

[Jethro]

1. yes, I'd be debt free

2. yes, debt free plus home ownership, perk of being in flyover county

3. yes, all of the above plus early retirement.

4. hesitant, sound like horrible face cancer or something.

No way for 1-3.

 

Probably (very probably) for 4.

[Snao Cone]

no, probs, probs, probs.

 

I think all answers are perfectly valid and reasonable, though. On the one hand, it's just sex, and on the other hand, it's your own body. However you view it is a valid choice for you.

[Alejandrogynous]

$100,000 - 1mil would radically transform my life, so definitely. $10,000 would need consideration... It wouldn't be life-changing but it would make enough of a difference that I'd probably do it. If I couldn't bargain for higher, and as long as I got to chose the who/how/etc. to make it as bearable as possible for me.

 

As for the last question, hell no. I'm not going to "pay" for the right to be respected, and if I got badgered for sex my whole life, I still wouldn't take that cop out. If I say no, it means no - on principle, I'll continue saying it until it gets through society's thick skull that I don't owe them something in exchange for not being harassed. (I know the poll didn't specify harassment but I'm not going to say yes to sex just so I'll never have to say no to sex ever again. I'll just say no every time, thanks.)

[Guest]

Considering I only used to earn $80 per hour doing just that, didn't have a choice in who I had it with, and had all the money I earned taken off me anyway, fuck yes I'd have sex with a stranger for $10,000 if I could choose their sex (female!)

 

In short, I chose 'definitely!' for all answers  (edit: except the free sex one lol, heck no)

[south paw]

nah

Wait wait wait, did I misread the least question or is it gone or something? The last question I can see says that I get unlimited cake without getting fat  but no one will ever ask me for sex again So I chose 'definitely!'. Some people would answer no because they'd still want sex in their life, but other than that I don't see why anyone would choose to be asked for sex if they don't want it, especially if unlimited cake is part of the bargain! I prefer just being left alone anyway and go out of my way to try to ensure no one tries to have sex with me. But maybe I misread the question?

 

edit: OOOOOH wait, you have to have unpaid sex in order to never have sex again?? Okay I get it now, I was so confused by your answer!!! I better change my answer to no then, haha!

[Scottthespy]

I've had sex, in trying to find out 'what I was missing' (not much, as it turned out). I'd do it again for large sums of money under certain circumstances...if the person asking was kind, just looking for a one night stand, friendly about it, and happy to spend money they didn't need for anything else. I'm in kind of a tight spot financially right now that even ten grand could at least temporarily patch for me...at least have me breaking even instead of loosing more than I'm making each month. The larger sums could have me set for life, if handled properly. And sex isn't bad for me, so long as my partner is nice. I'd kind of feel bad taking the money under normal circumstances, but assuming a person was rich enough that it wasn't going to cause them struggles? Sure.

Oh, maybe! I read it as: Will you have sex for 10,000? 100,000? 1,000,000? For no one to ever ask you for sex again? (With a bonus of eating as much cake as you want.) Basically, will you have sex once for the peace of mind of never being asked for sex again. To which I say, hard no. But maybe it's me who's misinterpreting the question!

I edited my comment after I responded to you! I think you're right in that you actually have to have free sex as the price of never having sex again (but you also get unlimited cake!!) but if I had to have free sex I definitely wouldn't do it!!!

 

But it could also mean you don't have the sex so you just don't get the money, but the payoff of being broke is that no one will ever ask you for sex again and you get unlimited cake without getting fat, I'd definitely take that option, hah.

 

Going by the percentage of responses for that last one, I think a lot of people interpreted either my way or your way Because there's no way 33% of AVEN people who took the poll would actually say definitely! if they had to have free sex with a stranger So I'm guessing most of them interpreted it the way I did lol. And then everyone who answered NO WAY interpreted it the way you did!

 

who would have thought a fun AVEN poll could end up being so confusing??

That's true! I think I'd still take the money. 😂 I'm fine with saying no to sex (for reasons already established) and I don't even like cake very much - if those are my options, I'd rather at least pay off my student loans, haha.

 

So funny how differently we interpreted that question!
