When _Indecent Proposal_ was out in the theaters, one female comedian quipped:

“Hmmm. Let’s see, I’d get a million dollars, **and** have sex with Robert Redford. Should I do it? Gee, tough call! :rolleyes:”

1 million dollars! That would allow me to pay off both my and my so’s bills, buy a house, a car, put money aside for my nieces and nephews and still leave me with savings! I think I could sell myself for one night to be free of debt! If the stranger wanted both my SO and I, 1.5 million! 😉

Um, How much for me? thats a tough call. seeing as how I currently am saving to buy a house and a new MR2 – around $300,000  
Wait, who the hell am I kidding, 5 bucks would do it. – no thats not enough to split with my SO

wait, if I have to split it with her, then I’ll need more than $300,000 to get what I want to…  
aww hell, just pay me

Oh man! I am _crying_ ‘cause I am laughing so hard! That is the funniest freakin’ thing I have seen in months! Thanks, Lex. (I’m tempted to take it for a sig…)

The price for me would depend on the “duties” I would be expected to perform. If all I had to do was lay back and think of England, I’d do it for $50,000 easy. If I actually had to go down on the guy, I would charge at least $1,000,000.

I mean, think about it: if you’ve ever had a one night stand or perhaps not that but if you’ve slept with someone the first day/night you’ve met them, what’s the difference really? I say there is no difference save the offer of money, which to some, cheapens the act that might otherwise be freely given. BTW, I’m not necessarily one of those people.

**Green Bean** , you have a $950,000 up-charge for head!? Do you realize that means that for $1MM you’re willing to either:

a) have sex with 20 people, or  
b) go down on 1

Does it really taste _that_ bad? 😉

I’m in a bit of a financial bind right now, so I’d probably agree to letting someone have a night with my wife for $10,000, or maybe even less, if she was agreeable. She slept with lots of people before we were married, one more afterwards wouldn’t make that big of a difference. I’m on friendly terms with a few of her ex-boyfriends so I’m not the jealous type. I would definitely try to get more, though.

As for myself, if the woman wasn’t unattractive I’d do it for whatever my wife felt was fair. If she thought we needed $5 I’d do it.
