Would You Rather... Sex vs. Money edition.
It's Friday, and I think we could all use a Would You Rather! It's getting harder to pick out some goods that we haven't done already, but I think today's is juicy enough to stir up some action ;)Although technically, it's more of a "Would you give up ___ for ___" kinda deal, but the concept is pretty much the same - you have to pick one over the other. And let me just start by saying that this one is TOUGH! Okay, here's today's question:
Would you...for $15,000 in cash, give up sex for a whole entire year?!That's over $1,000 a MONTH in cold hard cash! Or a brand spankin' new car. A down payment on a small house or plane. 15 plasma tvs. Around the world plane tickets (I think?). Potentially NO credit card debts! A generous charity donation. Or 15,000 double cheeseburgers from McDonald's! Haha...
So yeah, it's a lot of money. I just don't know who could give up such greatness :) And to be fair, let's make it TWO YEARS if you aren't regularly getting any to begin with - or else it's a super easy call. Although in that case, maybe you deserve to be rewarded with the $15Gs anyway? Also, let's clarify that "sex" is *any* form of it whatsoever before you try getting around it. Hugging and kissing on the lips only, okay? You don't want the Would You Rather monster coming to get you!
Personally, I don't think I could do it. I cherish my intimacy wayyy too much. It would be easier if I were saving up for a super spectacular goal where I could see the direct impact $15ks would have, but since I'm not I can't say it would be worth it. And plus, how would we be able to make little J's this year?! Hah! Better keep that in mind before making your decision ;)

Well, following in the footsteps of one of our former (low self-)esteemed leaders, I would need you to define 'sex' with more clarity before committing to decision either way.
Have a great weekend.

As the guy is no longer in the picture and I'm already staring down the ugly barrel of celebacy (ok it's only been a month...it's not that bad) I think I could take the $15,000. If I were married or in a serious committed relationship I'd have to say no. Or at least have a serious discussion with said partner before hand. Intimacy is a BIG deal. It's a huge part of any relationship.
Very thought provoking question sir!
I couldn't do it either. If you're in a healthy relationship and you aren't getting any....no matter how good the relationship is, it starts to affect it negatively. (Let alone the affects it has on the individual!)
So the question becomes, "would I trade in my boyfriend for $15k?" (Hot damn, that's a lot of money!!!) And the answer is no, I wouldn't trade him in. (I think. lol)
Couldn't do it. No way. Ask me after I've been married for 50 years.
Yeah, I couldn't do it either. Love my intimacy way too much for money. This was pretty easy. I guess if I was financially strapped for cash, maybe, but even then...nope, I wouldn't do it!
Call me old fasion... but there is no way I could do it. I will turn down the money and look for other ways to generate some cash. I just got engaged, a person has needs!
I am a single, introverted blogger, that has a job as a statistics nerd. I don't get laid as it is. Give me the cash J!
Almost definitely no. I'd need a definition of sex to be sure. ;)
Then again, J. Think you can hook me up with Brandi's number? Cause, well, ya never know.
Since I haven't had a girlfriend in the past year - sure, I'd take the $15k...
I am happily married for the last 5 years, I wouldn't give up the sex for $15k...
So quick to skim and leave an answer I see ;)
"Also, let's clarify that "sex" is *any* form of it whatsoever before you try getting around it. Hugging and kissing on the lips only, okay?"
Brian - I don't think you can handle Brandi, she's pretty feisty ;)
Mrs. Micah - I think you'd take sex over food if given the opportunity! haha....
@J Mayyyybee...but why can't it be both? (Actually, my husband as a strict either-or rule, alas.)
And given the definition of sex, nope, no $15k for me. :( (sorry, I skimmed that bit because your next paragraph caught me.)
Some of my best tips have come after the se... oh what, sorry that was in a movie I just watched. I'd have to say no to the dough, only because I wouldn't want to upset my wife. Ok, Ok, I COULDN'T do it either...Great question though.
Seems like Brandi and I are in the same boat. Relationship has been over for just over a month, so I think I could go another 10 and a half for $15,000. That'd be helpful in the kitchen and bath renovations I'll have to do if I get the house I want....
Give me the cash! I have been celibate for 5 years - BAHAHAHAHA! AND I have a 4 year old. Trust me the math works! =o) So, what is another 2 (you said two for people that are not getting any now right?). If I was supposed to find someone in that timeframe he better watch out(!) after the clock runs out - I may break him.

Nope. No way. Nuh Uh. Not only would I miss the physical act itself, but it is another way for my husband and I to connect, and our marriage is worth WAY more than 15 grand.
That's a real hard one, and I think the wife would take the cash. I'm pretty sure I put the moves on her all to much, and she could use the break ;)
If I was given the cash up front though, maybe I could pull it off, but how would I be monitored? :) The honor system wouldn't hold up under the pressure..
23 year old male virgin sobbing right here...
Still I'd take the cash. Think of the compounding baby!!!
And money gets the girls right? ;)
We'll be celebrating 23 years next month (marriage that is, we've been together 3 years more than that), and I would absolutely turn it down. Heck, I'd turn down the $288 for one week! We are VERY happily married!
I don't think I would give up my bf for $15k...
...but if I was single, I would definitely choose the money!
Give me $50,000 and I'll make the sacrifice!
$15K can't even buy me the Patek Philippe rose gold annual calendar watch I'm looking at! :)
Haha, I just want to say "Go Annie!" I hope I can say the same thing around that time frame.
My immediate reaction is HELL NO to the deal! My energy doesn't always permit the most active life of intimacy for my husband and I to enjoy. But I wouldn't give up that intimacy. It's an integral part of a good marriage.
Double it to $30,000 and I think we'd have a deal -- am I joking or not? I'm not even sure!
As an unmarried, abstinence-practicing Christian woman-- show me the money!
Well . . . Let me think about this. I'm still a virgin and I'm saving myself for marriage, even though it's hard and people think I'm crazy.
But my wedding to Nick is more than a year away. So show me the money! It could go a long way toward our wedding.
No way, keep the money. ;)
Hmmm, since I'm not dating anyone atm, I think I could do it. I guess that's assuming self-pleasure is acceptable.
Considering as though I am a 21 yr old Christian woman who still happens to be a virgin, Ill take the money thanks .
Can I have the cash? I've already completed the challenge. :(
Love all my Christian women up in here! Keep doing your thing ladies, very very admirable in today's age. If I had the extra cash laying around I'd happily send it over to each and every one of you :)
it's not impossible sex is my life
i take the money hands down without a second thought. Just think what 15k would do for my portfolio..... i personally think that sex is overrated and the world would be a better place if everybody kept "them" in their pants
I've gone without for long periods of time (by choice!!) but 15k is kinda on the cheap side. I'm going to need a lot of retail/travel/martini therapy to get me thru my year long dry spell. Double the offer, then we'll talk.
"Would you give up __money__ for __sex__"
what kind of proposition is this, J!?!
A bad one?
