Sure I’d do it.

I’d even let you buy-one-get-one-half-price!

What the hell, I have no pride whatsoever and even less money so sure, I’d do it.

We can see which tickles more, your ass hair or my goatee.

Self-respect? What’s that? 😕

I think I was the first to kick of the “between the cheeks” discussion here, and the reason I brought it up is because I came in here fully expecting it to be a between-the-cheeks kiss for the $1000. I was surprised that it was merely on the cheek. Meh, no biggie there!

I’m not sure there’s enough money in America to get me to burrow between your cheeks with my puckered lips. Although that $700,000,000,000 doesn’t sound too bad.

Hmm, Rock Band 2 is coming out with the new fancy drum kit, AND I’ve been wanting to buy a new computer. Then, there’s that downpayment I’ve been needing for the Yamaha FJR I desperately want to buy…

Any chance we can go double-or-nothing if I kiss both cheeks? 😃

Hell, for a thousand dollars I’ll _lick_ your cheek and do body shots off of you.

I’m cheap like that.

Yes. I don’t see any problem with that at all. I’d do it for $50. I don’t see what the big deal is.

No one’s mentioned the aspect of hair. Do you have a hairy arse?

If so, I might have to think about it.

Provided you are wearing clean skivvies and have washed up recently, if it’s been clean and I can pucker up on the side of the ass opposite the crack area, no worries.

Totally, if no one found out.

If I had a minimum wage job (in Florida), I’d have to do nearly 150 hours worth of work for that money. And all you want is 5 seconds?

Hell, I’d do it for $100.

Yeah, seriously. The buttock? That’s about as gross as kissing someone’s elbow\*. I’d do it if you just asked me really nicely.

Only 5 seconds? Hell, I’d do it for pizza and a movie rental. Upgrade to a bit of a grab too and you’d only need to throw in an additional Blizzard.

Miller, will you pretty please kiss my ass, with a cherry on top? I’d be most obliged.

Shit, it would cost you $1000 just to _imagine_ me kissing your ass.

Nope. No hair to speak of…it’s a very smooth, baby-butt type ass. But I may need a new monitor after reading all the replies in this thread so maybe I’ll keep the 1,000 after all.

I’m pretty amused by the variety of replies, though. Seems some would be for it, some would be iffy, some respect themselves too much to even consider it.

(emphasis added)

I’m not sure that’s quite a fair way to express things. The impression I have for most of us voting for the “sure” column is not that we lack self-respect, just that this act is so benign, by our personal standards, that the issue of self-respect doesn’t come into play.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that those who would are lacking it. That wasn’t how I meant it at all. I merely meant some (who wouldn’t) put it down to a “too much respect for myself” thing.
