From the Robert Redford / Demi Moore movie, in which millionaire Redford offers financially strapped Moore a million dollars for a night of sex… to the dismay of hubby Woody Harrelson…
What’s your price? One night of sex, of the gender you normally sleep with, not hideously ugly, but not Robert Redford, either. Generally safe sex, nothing that would physically injure you. What you it take for you to give it up?
And, if married/attached… what would it take for you to agree that your partner could accept an Indecent Proposal?

Just the cabfare .
Does the lowest bidder win the contract?

I would not do it, regardless of the price, and I wouldn’t give permission for husband to do it, regardless of price.
This isn’t to say that a million bucks or so wouldn’t be TEMPTING …
But no. Can’t do it.

Man, hm. I’d like to say that I wouldn’t dare.
But the decision would be very hard if it was anything above $150,000. I could pay off all of my school debt and buy a car.
Tibs.

It would have to be enough to pay the rest of my school career (about 7 more years and living expenses included), minus taxes, and still leave money to live for one year after graduation.
I think half a million would be ok…

Considering what my life in the next few weeks will be like if I don’t raise some cash, my price today is $4000.

Not a lot to be honest. I’d certainly be willing to do it for anything over £50,000. Less than that and I’d still be pretty likely to be willing, with the lower limit probably being £1000. I’d have to decide on a case by case basis 'though - i.e. What I thought of the person.
If I had an SO, what it would take is that said SO would be willing to do it. While I wouldn’t actively seek an ‘open’ relationship, I have no objection to the idea. Just as long as se doesn’t make a habit of sleeping with people for money. 🙂
Oh, incidentally, a decent amount of discretion would probably be necessary. Not in the sense of ‘Absolutely no one must know’, just ’ Lets not tell too many people about this, ‘k?’.

I can be purchased only by wit, intelligence and dashing good looks.

Less than most people, I’d be willing to bet.

Hmmm… good place for an old joke.

Then the man asks, “Would you go to bed with me for fifty bucks?”, and the woman answers indignantly, “Just what do you think I am???”, and the man says, “We’ve already established that - now we’re negotiating.”

My price? Uhm… $50,000 would be good because I could live off of that for awhile while I finish up my high school (and do a bit of partying) and possibly go to college for at least the first couple of years with it… and I might invest some too…

Hang on. This is a trick question, right?
Are you asking me that, if I’m not attached, the bloke is reasonably good-looking, not a genuine psycho, and is offering me money for a night of hot sex, I’m meant to name my lowest price?
I’m yours baby!! Free!
