Monday Morning Sexy Time Poll:

H and I had this discussion over the weekend:Is kissing more intimate than sex? Would you have sex with another person(other than your FI/H)  for $1 million?

Re: Monday Morning Sexy Time Poll:

  • Is kissing more intimate than sex?    I think it is, to me, sex has never been a "lets make love" sort of thing. It creeps me out when people tell me they love me during it...it's just a down and dirty type thing I suppose.Would you have sex with another person(other than your FI/H) for $1 million?    I said I would, and H promptly said he would divorce me. I told him I would divorce him if he DIDN'T do it....
  • Typically, no, but I'm sure that it can be in certain situations.  Like certain one night stands that involve sex but not kissing. No, I wouldn't cheat on FI for $1 million.  It's too risky, I think it would mess with my conscience for the rest of my life.  
  • 1. No2. That didn't end well in the movie Indecent Proposal, so I'd have to say no.

  • I think it depends on the kiss and the sex.  I find it hard to kiss a lot during sex but I feel sex is intimate, but some wonderful kissing can be more intimate.  i guess it depends on what you are putting into the kiss.  As for sex with someone else for a million dollars, if i was offered this i would probably see how FI felt about this first (we could use a million) but in the end i think i would feel to guilty to do anything like that.
  • 1. It definitely can be depending on the sex and the kiss. 2. possibly lol

  • 1) Yes, it can be. 2) No way.  Even for $1 million, it's still prostitution.

  • I think kissing and sex are just different.  I think twice, ever we have "made love" rather than doing something else.  Those weirded me out. I think I would clear it with him.  Then we'd buy a house and pay off all our debt.

  • So if someone came up to the people who are saying "No way" for the 1 million, you would seriously just turn it down? Man, I must be a ho, b/c I told H "I'd even do it for 10k, let alone a million!"
  • Cubs, I'd definitely be tempted, but I'd be scared about the consequences. I'm sort of unusual though in that I feel like I have enough money in my life already and I don't necessarily want any more.  I just want to manage the money I have responsibly.
  • 2) No way. Even for $1 million, it's still prostitutionSee...I'd prefer to think of it as a gift celebrating my talents. :)

  • See...I'd prefer to think of it as a gift celebrating my talents. :)Hahaha.  Nice.In all seriousness though, Cubs, I would turn it down.  I'm not saying I wouldn't be tempted, but I couldn't live with my conscience knowing that I had sex for money (even if I was single and not engaged to FI).

  • Lol...I was joking. If it was someone I would normally never consider having sex w/in a million years I don't think I could force myself to do it just for the money. You never really know though. I wouldn't think of myself as a prostitute though.

  • I'd agree that you never know 'til something like that happens.  There's plenty of stuff that I've been all self righteous about, saying "I'd never do that" but when the time came I actually did it.
  • To me, I would be more hurt if H went on dates and kissed another woman, than if he got drunk and slept with someone else. I guess I feel that companionship and company are more sacred then bumpin uglies. So to me, it wouldn't be prostitution or cheating, since it could help the both of us out financially.
  • If you both know about it/are ok w/it than I definitely don't think it's cheating either. Only you and H can make those choices for your relationship. Doing it repeatedly might make you a prostitute though. ;) It's probably best not to make a habit of it. I completely agree w/the dating and kissing -vs- onetime sex thing. I don't think I could get past either...but I'd prefer drunken sex to an ongoing realtionship.

  • Is kissing more intimate than sex? I think it is. Would you have sex with another person(other than your FI/H) for $1 million? No, I wouldn't, nor would I be tempted. I'd rather have my pride and my husband than a million dollars.
  • Is kissing more intimate than sex? I dunno.  I guess everyone views it differently.  I'm not sure how I view it.Would you have sex with another person(other than your FI/H) for $1 million?Probably not.

  • I'd also be more upset by kissing/repeated dates than one-time drunken sex. I do see it as prostitution because you're having sex for money.  But certainly one time (and for 1 million clams) isn't as bad as repeatedly doing it.  If you and FI/DH would be okay with it though, more power to you.  On another note, what would you do with that $1 million?  FI and I would probably travel around the world for as long as we wanted.

  • No, I wouldn't, nor would I be tempted. I'd rather have my pride and my husband than a million dollars. I don't see it as losing your pride, I guess I just look at sex a heck of a lot differently. It's just something you do for fun (well, until it's time to procreate, if you're into that sort of thing)

    1. Not in my opinion, no. 2. I'm not down with prostitution, no matter how large the sum of money.

  • 1.  Not in my opinion.2.  That's a tough one.  On the one hand, it's prostitution, and I'm not so keen on that, no matter the sum or who was giving it to me.  On the other hand, it would completely pay for the off the energy and food grid house we were talking about last night, and would buy a few of our toys.  Then, we would work to pay for traveling or other toys, not to pay the mortgage or the utilities.It would be a very tempting offer, and if it's not someone I'd ever have to encounter again, it would be a tough decision.
  • 1. Kissing can be more intimate, but I see sex as pretty intimate, too. 2. No way. Money isn't THAT important. I could never do that to FI, for any amount of money.
  • It depends.  If it was some guy off the street, then no I would not do it for 1 million dollars.  If it was Simon Baker or Alex O'Loughlin, I would do it for free.  Hell, I would pay them.

  • 1. No...I would be way more pissed if H slept with someone than if he kissed them. I can't even begin to remember all the people I have kissed. During my drunken club phase I would pretty much kiss everyone around me. My coworkers would all just make out for no reason at the club I worked at, women and men. It was a pretty free love kind of place. 2. Only if my husband wanted me to and encouraged me to. I would want to, but I would never do it behind his back or if he said he would leave me. But if I didn't do it and we ended up divorcing in 5-10 years I would be piised! Btw...if I was single I definitely would do it. It's not like I haven't hooked up with someone that I regretted the next day for free. A week later I didn't care or feel bad about it, so I am sure I would not feel bad with a million dollars.

  • 1. Yes I believe kissing is more intimate 2.I think we would need to talk about it. If it was a oerson we would never see/hear from again them probably. If it was a person we would see/hear from regularly in life then no.
