A glass of malt whisky would probably be enough to buy me. ---

If I knew for sure that the guy had no diseases and that I would be safe, I’d honestly probably do it for free–if he was semi-attractive. I think I’d feel a lot more uncomfortable getting paid for it than doing it for free. ---

I’d do Bonnie Hunt for about 50 grand I guess. ---

Wouldn’t do it. No amount of money would make me ok with the thought of my wife with another man. Ever. I’m the only person she’s ever been with, and I would like to keep it that way. On the other hand, she actually likes watching tapes of me with an ex, so I suppose if **I** was beyond a doubt positive that it wouldn’t bother her, $15million would get me. Other than that, not worth the stress, and heartache that would inevitably come from it. ---

If you have to ask, you couldn’t afford it anyway. ---

A lot! I wouldn’t tell my hubby and I could buy him the BMW M3 he always wanted. I’ll tell him I won the lottery. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-indecent-proposal-price/124327.md?page=3)
