Financial security wins over sex without a thought.
Count me in on that one. Doesn’t hurt that I pretty much have zero sex drive now anyway. So it wouldn’t be that big of a sacrifice for me.
Sex is good stuff, but there’s plenty of things that are more important to me. Since we’re still able to have children and have the intimacy aspect, I honestly couldn’t really care all that much about orgasm. So, I’d give that up for a family and for that very intimacy, for gainful employment in a career I enjoy more than what I’m doing now, for pretty much anything that would improve my artistic expression whether through greater ability or greater exposure. And for financial security, it wouldn’t even have to be rich, just never have to worry about paying bills, missing too much work or whatever.
Well, let me put it this way: orgasms are an awesome thing. They make me very happy, and I don’t get nearly as many of them as I would like. But there are a lot of other things I don’t have, or don’t have enough of, or have now but can’t guarantee having forever: financial security, companionship of good friends, good health, family I love, and so on. Each of these things is more important to me than orgasms, and I’d gladly give up orgasms if it would ensure that I’d have one of these things forever.
We could still masturbate, right?
No. I love sex.
Important question: Give up sex because you have no sex drive any more, or still have a sex drive and just can’t do anything about it?
Because if it’s the first one, I’d PAY to be in that situation. Sex is overrated.
Hmm, $100 gift certificate to Starbucks? Since I haven’t had sex in over two years and don’t miss it at all, it would cost more for me to give up carbs.
Dude, its purely a hypothetical question. Of course I don’t want to give up sex. Please don’t try to read more into the OP than what was posted.
Negative.
Oh you very much have a sex drive, you are just unable to satisfy it.
Oh good, I’ve been wantin’ me a sex drive, but I couldn’t find how to get one!
Well, that mean I’d have to be monitored and guarded 24/7 by people authorized to use force to stop me. No, I wouldn’t trade my dead cat for that.
So my sex drive stays the same? $5000 a month for the rest of my life.
It would have to be something huge. Saving one of my kid’s lives, or my wife’s. Or, I guess, mine.
I could go for this deal month to month. But not for a long term lease or purchase. Remember – if it floats, fucks or flies; rent, don’t buy.
I might consider giving up sex in exchange for being a world class musician on the instruments of my choosing, having the ability to enjoy good health while playing at that level for the next 30 years or so at which point I would die quickly and painlessly.
It’s not worth it.
Maybe, it’s just me, but I get awfully moody when I haven’t had sex in a while. I just consider it a necessary part of life.
I am. In recovery since 1997. But still an addict.
