Well perhaps I’ll take it and would have to refund it to you later.
How about giving up breathing for 20 mil?
Sure. I’m married, so, no big loss.
No, thank you.
I’ll just keep on playing Lotto, and at my interview when I win the 10 million, I will announce, “Ladies? The line starts forming on the right”.
Can I have sex again after the money is gone?
Yes.
Simple.
Inky.
No way.
How about you give me the $10 million, though, and take varying amounts away from me when I have sexual experiences?
No way.
Absolutely not. In a way, giving up sex for money sounds just as distasteful to me as having sex for money – both would be selling some stranger the right to interfere with my body in the most intimate way possible.
If I had to give up one or the other for some reason, I’d sacrifice sex long before I gave up hugs and kisses, though.
No.
$10million wouldn’t make me anywhere near as happy as my husband can.
Let’s see -
Ten million smacks, vs. the Lovely and Talented Mrs. Shodan, smiling, in that lacy floral lingerie she got a while ago.
*Thinks it over carefully.
For about four pico-seconds.
Chucks the ten million out the window without a backward glance.*

All you people who are gladly giving it up, have you noticed it’s affection, too? Hugs & kisses - all gone. Even for your family, in case you might get off.
Trading money for no-sex. Hmmm. That’s kinda the opposite of Prostitution. Would we call that constitution? Huh, that’s a little wierd.
To answer the OP, no. And truly I find that every yes answer I read makes me a bit sad. My answer is obviously no. The only way it could even be remotely considered is if I really needed the money, like if I needed to buy a special experimantal Finnish surgical procedure to save my daughters life, and it cost $10 mil, and it was the last possible avenue for raising the necessary funds, then yeah. And once she got better, I’d probably go blow my own brains out. But throwing away that part of your existence cause money is cool?
IANAXian, but I must say, giving up sex for money makes baby jesus cry.
The accouterments of wealth includes sex and sexually gratifying affection. I didn’t grow up dreaming of someday becoming rich and living life as a wealthy monk.
On the other hand, I’ve been battling near-poverty for a couple of months now, and I am one miserable sonuvabitch whenever I’m broke. I worry about providing for my aging parents and my one still-living grandmother, and keeping family relationships and traditions alive. The comfort $10 million can buy me, my extended family, for future generations of my family, when properly managed and invested is something I can’t dismiss when weighed against something like sex. I enjoy it, sure – the initial attraction, the chase, the catch and the first dozen times are all great – but
Sexuality is a huge part of who I am but believe it or not I can give it up for that amount of money. Sexual love is not the same as the love I have for my family, my friends, the abstract things that are important to me, and the intimacy and affection I’ve had for former girlfriends (not to brag but a few of them would take news of my $10 million dollar celibacy harder than me.) I’ve got my memories and fantasies.
I imagine I’ll be eating a lot of Godiva chocolate, taking cold showers and baths daily and stop seeing movies with (http://www.celebrity-gallery.com/content/NiaLong/nia1.htm, not work safe) Nia Long.
Whoops. I didn’t realize that Nia Long gallery link had those naked ad banners at the top and bottom. (My eyes were only on Nia.) Could a mod kill that link for me, please? Sorry.
If it was just screwing I was giving up, I’d have to think about that. I mean, 10M is a lot of money. But cuddling, snuggling, kissing, hugging with my hubby? I wouldn’t give that up for any amount of money.
Took me all of 3/4 of a second to come up with my answer: HECK NO.
You couldn’t pay me enough for me to never be intimate with my wife again. No way, no how.
So, get paid for what I’m doing already…
At the moment, and based on past trends, in 50 years I’m much more likely to regret not having taken the money than having taken the money.
Nope. That changed after I answered, and it would indeed change my answer. I’d gladly give up orgasms or the possibility of them, but not hugs and kisses from my kids.
