The strangest man I have ever taken money from is my hubby…and sometimes he gets sex afterwards. Does that count? 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > A 14 year old kid was caught with less than a half ounce and was given 12 years. 12 years. At the age of 14. While your presentation alludes to a first time offense, we don’t know that from what you’ve posted. We also do not know what the half ounce of “stuff” was, it makes a difference in evaluating someone’s place in the hierarchy of drug criminals whether this was a half ounce of heroin or a half ounce of marijuana. Now the sentence - a minor was given 12 years of hard time? Man, can you provide some cite for this? If you can’t, I have to disbelieve you. ---

Oddly enough, no one has ever offered me any money. I could probably be had at a discount. ---

Yes, I would do it if I knew he was disease free and he was paying big money. I know, that makes me a whole I guess, but if he’s got $10,000 and wants to buy a evening of fun, I will be a whore for a night and leave with $10,000 in my overnight bag. ---

Not that it will ever happen but for enough money I would consider it. I believe hubby would be OK with it too for enough money. ---

For an attractive woman for the right price, you better better your ass that I would do it. I would even throw in some free services like vacuuming and breakfast in bed. The cost is $5000 for the night (includes snuggling). PM me for any orders. ---

The old joke comes to mind: > [@](#): > > A man walks up to a woman at a bar and asks “Would you have sex with me for a million dollars?” She replies “Well, that is a lot of money, ok.” He then asks “Well then, will you do it for 10 dollars?” She replies " Of course not, what do you think I am a whore?" He says “I’ve already established that, at this point we’re simply negotiating.” ---

I’m a whore. As long as I didn’t get any permanent diseases I’d do any woman for enough money. I’m not sure about dudes though. I haven’t discussed it with my wife but even if she didn’t agree I’d probably do it for 7 million that amount is probably worth a divorce since neither of us would ever have to work again. Now if she’s on board the amount would be less probably around $300K assuming the John paid the taxes although a million would make it a pretty short discussion. ---

I would be leery. What guy in his right mind wants to \*\*\*pay \*\*\*for sex with a bookish 47-year-old woman? It’s not ethics that’s the problem. It’s the thought that the guy is probably crazy. ---

It’s the thought that the guy is probably crazy. Every time I donate blood, I have to keep a straight face (and often fail) when I’m asked “Have you accepted money for sex in the last ten years?” Oh yeah, women are constantly showering money on flabby middle-aged married guys like me! ---

Too many variables. Just some random stranger, probably not. Though back in the bad old days when I was young and cute, I did go home with the odd random guy I met in a bar for a night of fun, so it’s not like its out of the realm of possibility. How much money, and what kind of sex? Just a quick wham bam in and out, or a prolonged session, where I have to work really hard to make it happen for him? Anything weird or just vanilla sex? Do I like the guy? Is he creepy, or nice? Is he clean and well groomed, or stinky and unkempt? Is he attractive or physically repulsive to me - too fat, too skinny, too tall, too short? Actually the more I think about it, the more I realize I have a deeply ingrained repulsion to the idea of taking money for sex. Unless, perhaps, it was a truly obscene amount of money, and ain’t nobody offering fat old me that. ---
