A sadistic mad alien has left you with an ultimatum. You must choose from three people of your preferred gender to have sex with. One is really hot, one is kind of meh, and the third is a total uggo. If you don’t choose, sadistic mad alien blows up the world.
The only thing you know about these three people is that they are “willing” participants.* What you don’t know is if they are doing it because they want to or if they are only doing it to save the world. (or both)
Whom do you choose?
*I’m not sure you could call it “willing” when left with such an ultimatum.
What are you trying to learn from this? All other tings being equal, why do you imagine someone would choose a less attractive sex partner if they knew all the possible partners would say “yes”?
I think it amounts to “would you prefer an ugly partner who really wants to fuck you, or a beautiful one who’s prepared to do it but not really that into you?”
Edit: Sorry, meant to add that because you have no way of knowing how they feel before you start, why wouldn’t you choose the hot one?
But wait! Why would the beautiful one NOT be “really that into” me?!
I mean, we ARE speaking hypothetically, right?
(I suspect more people would be laughing right now if I had a full-body profile pic to link to.)
In the comic book surge of the late Sixties there was a “Maniaks” book about a so-named band. One of the characters was “Silver Shannon” the ultimate stereotypical gold-digger, who was a bit weak on the concept of a too-heavy diamond engagement ring.
One cover also featured Woody Allen, who was directing a play he also stars in. He instructs her:
“Now in my new play, Shannon, you are madly in love with me because I’m such a rugged handsome specimen of masculinity.”
Why would I assume the hot chick is somehow more forced than the ugly one?
Isn’t it being forced on me as well?
Maybe the ugly one is more acutely self-conscious of her own physical shortcomings and would feel worse about having sex with strangers than the hot one.
Seriously, unless your scenario gives me some specific evidence that one of these others is either more reluctant or more enthusiastic to have sex with me, there s abslolutely no reason not to choose the most attractive one.
I wouldn’t take part in such a thing, because those “willing” participants would be under duress and not legally be capable of giving consent. So the question is, would you rape someone to save the world? I would not.
