What if... Sex IS money... :0

MSD

Based on the rephrased question, can I choose an unsatisfying sex life and lots of money? Let's say all the money I need and nothing but emotionless, drug-and-booze-fueled casual sex but still being able to party like crzy with real friends because of all the cash I have? I'll take the money and unfulilling sex life ... then probably wish I had chosen more wisely during my mid life crisis

Now that I think about it, I would choose sex.

I want to have a kid with my OWN genes.

Thats a tough one. I am assuming you mean money over never having sex again in my life, or any sexual contact with another person. If that is the case I would take sex because I am pretty darn certain that I am going to be making some decent coin in the not-so-far future.

But if I still got to have sex, just not crazy passionate sex and have the money then I would take money. I want to see the world too damn bad to pass up the opportunity to leave today. I would be too busy hiking everywhere I could, and jumping out of planes, and just experiencing life to even worry about sex for a good long time. Then when the time came I could settle down, get a wife and have some kids and have a shitty sex life like most of the married couples out there (or so I hear).

It's not the answer to your question, but the question pisses me off anyway, so here' what I'd rather have: a balanced life, not an obscene amount of money, but not living paycheck to paycheck, balanced time between my wife, my family and friends, balance between sobriety time and non sober time. I think happiness can be just that, the proper balance.
And also, as your money approaches ridiculously large amounts, what motivates you? You can buy anything, there's nothing you need to challenge yourself to get.
That's my reaction to the words of the OP.

Ohh my god, you described me so well!! I have (in the words of Dave Chappel) a sexual appetite that would make Michael Douiglas look gay!!! I have become A.D.I.D.A.S

I would definately go for the money. But I would definately pick the sex no matter how bad it is if the question is money with no possibility of getting ANY!!

to the rephrased question, would I stay in a sexless marriage to preserve financial success, my answer is no. Because sexless marriage means so much more than no sex. It means emotional unhappiness, indifference or constant rowing, and all manner of unpleasant things. I'm sure that, unless your friend was penniless and married a millionaire, leaving his sexless marriage won't mean he loses all his financial assets, just that he'll lose some of it. I'm sure he won't be living on the streets, right? So, I'd bail out. It's easy to look at really, where do you want to be at the end of your life, unhappy and lonely, with lots of money? That's not how I want to end up, in any case.

To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Having made different choices on the subject at different times in my life, I have found that Sex will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no sex.

Sex. You can't buy happiness, but you can fuck your way there.

Financial security, if that meant not having to be enslaved in a career. I'd rather a have a free life that was low on sex (if it was 100% sexless then maybe I'd have a problem) than have to be a "working stiff", as it were, and get laid on the regular.
