Captain's Quiz: Would you give up sex for one million dollars? Okay, here's the question for the day. An anonymous wealthy person presents a deal. They will give you one million dollars on the spot but you have to give up sex WITH ANY OTHER PERSON for the rest of your life. You can (ahem) self-stimulate as often as you would like but you cannot have any type of intercourse with any other individual for the rest of your natural life. Anything that goes beyond chaste pecks on the lips is prohibited. (I don't know how they would prohibit it---cameras or body sensors or something...damn, just go with it).
So, considering that many of us will not make that kind of money in our lifetime would you do it? Would you give up one of life's biggest joys for wealth and security? If not, is there any amount of money that would make you consider this deal? 10 million? 20 million? What's more important to you: sex or money? | |

Ex-Moderator | I wouldn't do it. No way. I'm happy enough money wise. not that it wouldn't be nice. But the 'price' wouldn't be worth it. |

$1 million dollars invested wisely could grow into a lot more. Think about it...put it into some good mutual funds, let it grow a few year, turn it into $5 million or so...could provide a lot of security. | |

I know the feeling. A tougher question is: Would you be poor and be able to have sex or rich and no sex? | |

Paying bills on time. Giving to those in need. Isn't that more gratifying than bucknaked hardcore sex? | |

not for the rest of my life, no. ONE mill isn't enough.
Although I've done it for free for about a year, so what am I talking about. | |

since i have been single for almost 8 years...been celibate for a lot of that...i could still cuddle with someone and pleasure myself....and since a million dollars goes a long long way here (would it be 1,000,000 after taxes???)
i MAY consider it. you're only as old as you feel..............so how old do i feel
Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants. | |

i MAY consider it. one million after taxes. It doesn't seem like a lot of money for some but how long would it take for the majority of us to make that. 30 years, 40 years? And you would get it all in a lump sum so you could immediately make it work for you. And what does sex give you? Guilt. Regret. STDs. Sounds like an easy trade-off. (You know I'm playing devil's advocate but it makes you think.) | |

Well given that the only genuine reason people want insane amounts of money is to improve their attractiveness in social situations that sort of deal would be pretty much a dead-end.
And you can barely get a decent two-bedroom flat for one million dollars these days. | |

Ok somebody would give me a million dollars, I just can't have sex with anyone else?? But my right and left hand can still be my best buddies?? Right?? Fuck yes, whatever fool would say no to this is a fool...
Well wait....maybe not..... | |

For those of you who said no, do any of you have a specific price in mind? What is sex worth in monetary value to your life? | |

For me, I've added it all up, the benefits versus the heartaches, the joys versus the aggravations, the thrills versus the spills. And I've come up with a figure:
$4,719.12 Of course, my problem is I would be denying thousands of women the pleasure of being with the Captain. So I'm conflicted. | |

And you can barely get a decent two-bedroom flat for one million dollars these days. maybe where you live... here in NB Canada $500,000 would get you a 6 bedroom, 4 bath, 3 car garage, inground pool.... i could deal with that and still have cash leftover. you're only as old as you feel..............so how old do i feel
