Depends on whether I found the person attractive or enjoyed the sex. I’ve heard stories of men who are gay for pay. Good looking guys in their 20s who charge gay men $60-150 so the men can perform oral sex on the prostitute. The guys I’ve met (a small sample) didn’t seem to mind it. They felt they were being paid to jack off, and oral sex has a lower STD transmission rate than other forms of sex. They may not love it and they may not respect their clients, but its easy money. I suppose I could see the appeal of that, get 3 blowjobs a week from guys you aren’t attracted to and earn over a grand a month tax free. ---

At my age and desirability level I should welcome whatever I get. It would have to be a female I think. I am very visually oriented so much would depend on physical characteristics. Anywhere from “No!..let me pay you!” to “Yeah, OK, I think I can deliver for the right price.” The “right price” could range from the hundreds to the thousands." ---

What do you mean, “would have to be offered” ? If you’re good at something, never do it for free ; that’s my policy. ---

$6MM. Its my standard point for opening negotiations since it would mean my wife and I never have to work again. Convincing her for paying off our house might work but I’d think $200-250k tax free would really be the minimum so we. Oth get the new cars we want. If it wS a dude the $6 mil is the end of the negotiation plus I guess paying for the viagra. I’ve been a whore since I realized people would pay me to use my body or my brain. I’m comfortable with it. If it wasn’t for the no sex with other people my price would be more in the range of how damaging would it be to my future prospects with a $200/hour floor. ---

Male, married and pretty much happily. And like others it depends. Rickie Lee Jones or Mariah Carey can have me for free, any of the Kardashian and I’ll say $500k US. Jeff Bezos doesn’t have enough money to get in my pants. ---

I’ve seen Midnight Cowboy. I’d dream of getting paid to have sex with rich, bored housewives, but in reality I’d be blowing poor college dudes in movie theaters to make ends meet. So I think I’ll stick with my day job, thanks. Nevertheless, if any pretty ladies want to take me home, my rates are quite reasonable. ---
