This whole thread is basically the plot of “Indecent Proposal” starring Robert Redford and Demi Moore.
Her character and her husband are staying at a casino, but they’re having fairly serious financial difficulty. A billionaire sees her, and offers the couple a million dollars if he can have her for one night.
I did once. I got $500 for the deal, since my ass was cherry. I was doing a lot of heroin at the time, and it seemed like an easy way to make some cash. It was, but even in my junkie haze it left me feeling dirty in a way that I never had before. I have no desire to repeat the experience.
Total stranger? Only time I had sex with a total stranger was a spring break trip, and no money exchanged. The only time I got paid it was a single dad who I had done babysitting for a few times before “it” happened (in exchange for a tip), so not a total stranger.
I grew up being taught that it’s a sin to have sex outside of marriage.
Now, both of my parents have since violated that, as has my sister. I might not wait that long, either. But I certainly would never consider having sex with someone I wasn’t in love with.
My current philosophy is, don’t do anything that can result in pregnancy if you’re not prepared to have children.
I can forgive the initial 17-year-delay because you were probably a minor when this thread started. But now that you’ve got us hooked on the stories of your sexcapades, don’t leave us hanging for another 6 years! Did you get your $10,000 asking price at the babysitting gig? Did you adjust for inflation?
Odd thread.
I will say no, because when I have sex with someone, we are bonding and I imagine we’re in love.
Also, I felt it would bring shame on my son( yer moms a whore) and no money is worth that.
I read something quite a while back–I don’t remember where I read it. But it was to the effect that when people first start a sexual relationship, they imagine that they’re in love, when often they’re simply in lust and nothing else.
Old thread, but yes, I would - with the proper caveats (the stranger needs to be disease-free, there cannot be some sort of scam/trap involved, it can’t lead to pregnancy, etc.)
This has parallels in a Reddit thread I saw a few weeks ago.The question was asked, “Would you have 20 minutes of heavy, make-out kissing with your cousin for $20,000?”
My favorite reply (and my own thoughts as well) was, “My cousin? Hell, I’d pay 200 bucks to do it!”
I’d like sex work to be decriminalized, but I’m not sure about legalized (which would mean government regulation, I think). It would go a long way toward making sex work safer. A step toward conquering this final frontier of women’s rights. A woman who has sex with multiple partners is a whore, a man who does this is a stud. Sad that we, and especially women, still tolerate this ugly characterization.
Would I have sex for money? Sure, as a job – I think romanticizing sex work, a la Pretty Woman, is a mistake. But using your body, and your people skills, to earn money shouldn’t be a moral issue. Athletes make money with their bodies, why is it wrong for other people? And I’ve known lots of women who use sex to manipulate their husbands (usually the kind of women who like to call other women “whores”), & that seems to be socially acceptable.
The babysitting situation wasn’t a total stranger. It was well under $10,000. I was 19, and in that wild phase of life, you know, when you try stuff you know you shouldn’t, but still do it anyway? He had flirted with me some already, and he wasn’t bad looking for an “old” guy – he was 42 I think; who knows, I might have one day done it without an expected payment, but the offer made it (in my 19-year old mind) a “why the hell not” sort of thing. No specific $$ amount was discussed, I just knew it would be much more than a evening of babysitting paid.
