You answer yes or no then suggest the next one I will start For £35,000 , would you undergo an operation which takes away your sex drive for good? ---

Heck no!!! Even though I haven’t been intimate with anyone in many years, I want to keep hoping that this involuntary celibacy will end, and that I would enjoy it. For $1,000, 000 would you have sex with an anonymous stranger chosen by others? This stranger would be disease free but might not share your gender or orientation. ---

Welcome to The Dope! This would probably be better suited for the Thread Games forum, so I reported the thread for such a move. ---

In play: Baker’s question. No, I wouldn’t ever have sex with someone I’m not in love with. For $10,000,000, would you agree to stay off the internet for the rest of your life? ---

Yes. I could easily pay someone to get useful information off the internet for me, and I’ll be too busy spending $10,000,000 to care about anything else on the internet. Would you amputate your non-dominant hand for … let’s say $250,000? (all done surgically, painlessly, except for normal healing). ---

> [@TriPolar](#): > > Would you amputate your non-dominant hand for … let’s say $250,000? (all done surgically, painlessly, except for normal healing). No. My right hand isn’t as useful as yours, but it’s a hell of a lot more useful than your left. For $150,000 would you trim the claws of a tiger? It would not be sedated. ---

Given that no other condition is provided, no. I have to assume this is the average tiger - e.g. not tamed or trained - and therefore will almost certainly kill me. Tigers are extraordinarily ferocious and unafraid of people. I’m a dead man. For $100,000 would you eat a human hand? The hand will be cleaned and cooked. ---

Sure, assuming I don’t have to spend the rest of my life with people knowing I’m a cannibal. I can do it quietly at home with no advertising. For $6,000,000 would you allow Dateline to make a segment about you being a serial child molester who has never been charged and air it without any refutation. ---

As I get older and older, I find I’d do more and more for less and less, but no. No freakin’ way. I’d choose death before that. Now, if you made it, like $100 million after taxes, I might consider it. Surely there would be a place on the planet I could live in anonymity after that, if I had $100 mil. Would you, for $20,000,000, let yourself get hit by lightning? Could be a strong bolt, maybe not, who knows? No special conditions - barefoot, standing in a field. ---

No special conditions - barefoot, standing in a field. Is dying a possibility? Or you survive but just have to deal with the pain and whatnot? If you can’t die, I’d say yes. If you CAN die, I’d say…well, yes. Would you watch a video of your parents having sex for…$7? ---

You just go out in a field in a rainstorm, in bare feet (no sneaky rubber shoes!) and get hit by lightning. ---

If I survive I’d end up with [lichtenberg figures](http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=struck+by+lightning+lichtenberg+figure&FORM=HDRSC2) for a while and really, what’s cooler than that? For $1,500 would you pretend to be a Trump supporter on Facebook? You must post a message of support daily from now until the election. ---

> [@Velocity](#): > > Definitely not. > $2,500 to be completely covered in non-venomous spiders for one hour? I’d do that for $25 as long as someone else is covering me with them and then removing them one hour later. Oh, and you have to guarantee that I can breathe (without inhaling spiders, I mean).
