Would you let your spouse have sex with someone for $1,000,000?

[central]

Then you're a rare exception. Couples who can be SURE than one of them having sex with someone else won't risk the relationship are rare... but you've just shown us that you do exist!

 

Perhaps not all that rare. There are millions of swingers in the USA alone.

I think it's easy to say hell no, but if a couple is struggling financially and the offer was real and serious, I'm pretty sure it would be heavily considered. Especially if it was only a one time thing. Financial stress can damage a marriage.

That is true because I have seen this exact subject come up in thw 7th season of Californication!

Yep, I have too. A bit of a thread jack, but I'm not impressed with this final season. It will be interesting to see if Marcy actually goes through with it.

Me and my girlfriend discussed this. The answer would be yes for both of us. A million dollars would pretty much enable us to be financially secure. A lifetime of great things for one night of sex. Yes the thought of my spouse having sex with someone else sickens me, but if it's just one night and no chance of her feelings to me being soured by being with another man... then yep. Our relationship is strong, we'd get over it.

 

That amount of money is huge. Even if we lost our jobs we'd have that security net, never any threat of being homeless or begging for food. No chance for our kids to grow up in poverty... sounds pretty great.

 

The people posting on this thread against it must all be millionaires.

I answered yes for both of us and we're out on a picnic and have talked about it and we both think that unless the circumstances were further complicated then we would be for it. Mortgage-free and visit my family in Australia again? Yes please

Ughhhhh..... It was fun for a while and then ran it's course. The fact that these immoral characters are even debating it is quite funny considering the amount of sex and cheating that defines the whole series....

[crederer]

Hell no. She could end up his for good........

 

Sex for most women is personal. That's why you see more women in affairs fall in love with urges to leave their husbands for their affair partners more than men (who only smash and dash and act as if it's nothing). I wouldn't take such as risk.

 

yah but then you'd have a million in the bank.

 

I probably would but I'm also pretty broke at the moment.

 

If she leaves after whatever, not meant to be.

It's easy to say yes in theory.

 

But the reality is much different, in MOST cases. IMO, as a woman, financial struggles can be extremely difficult. And over the course of a relationship that has been dragged through money troubles, it's easy for a resentments to build. When the "solution" to the couple's difficulties involves the woman sleeping with a rich, attractive, powerful man (as in Indecent Proposal), it becomes a little harder for a woman not to get an emotional attachment to that man, who is now "saving" her. Not only is the man attractive, but the sex really does create feelings of attachment in most women.

 

And it's going to be pretty likely that some sort of jealousies creep into the mind of the spouse, which will have long-lasting consequences as well.

 

IDK, I think it's somewhat naive to think that "it wouldn't happen to me", that any one of our particular relationships would be different, and we would be able to withstand this sort of arrangement.

Nope, far from it. I just value other things more than money.

[jbelle6]

Sure, why not? My ex wife was already having sex with other people and I never got a cent.

 

 

HAHAHA!!!

[mrs rubble]

Yes, I'll take the money and she can keep him. (today's answer anyways! I'm in a grumpy with him)

You're putting way too much thought in to this. They met at a casino, he like most powerful men made a move, was turned down, then offered $1,000,000 for sex. You laugh at the fact he has offered you a ludicrous amount and then pull a "starfish" or fake an orgasm after 5 minutes roll over and go to sleep (if you need to stay the night).....

 

Of course if you want to turn it into some emotional, porn star, acrobatic event, then that is your problem.....:laugh:

lol, probably . But I'll never take marriage vows or fornication lightly! Sorry, I just can't advocate anything along these lines, and I can't believe so many people think it's no biggie.

 

But it's their lives, they can do whatever they think will make them happy. I won't try to stop anyone. But jealousy seeps into many relationships...why would anyone think it couldn't possibly happen to them?!

Ok, maybe I was getting a little dramatic, lol. I thought they were having money troubles in the movie, but maybe I'm getting Indecent Proposal and White Men Can't Jump mixed up?

[Art_Critic]

No.. a million bucks as a gift would have the gift tax to be applied...the top gift tax in 2012 was 35%...

So that makes the million bucks now only worth $650,000...

 

Being married and the chances are this will be taking the marriage into the divorce courts then my half would be $325,000...

 

Hardly worth it....

 

5 million... you just turned my head....

[revelations]

Well before I knew what my xWW was like their would have been no way I would have accepted an offer like this.

 

Today knowing what my xWW and my change if perspectives I would not only take the guy up on the offer. I would also try to offer him 30 days with her for 15 million dollars. I figure that if he puts up with her that long the least I can do is give him a bit of a break on the price.

[ughgeez]

Nope! I like them wild and all but I couldn't get into prostitution. Plus a million really doesn't get you far these days. If you had millions of dollars you wouldn't need to pay somebodies spouse to sleep with you anyway, there is plenty of single gold diggers that would do it for pennies on the dollar.
