Serious question... sex or money?
 

For men...

Which is more important? Sex or money?

Can you be more specific?

seriously seriously? i couldnt tell you because the question is so vague.

could you expand on it so we know what you mean as well as some background information on why you ask? it makes for a better and healthier discussion

i assume you meant to add "when buying or thinking about buying socks..." to the start of the question, yes?

No, sorry...in making a decision about directing your life, if you had to choose a satisfying sexual life or a comfortable financial life...which would you choose?

On the days that I am actually getting some from the wife, I would like be comfortable financially.

When I am not getting any regularly from her my mind definitely starts thinking more about impure thoughts about damn near every woman that walks by than money.

I think I'll take sex.

No question. Sex. Even though lots of money will get you sex, cause no matter what they say, chicks have sex with rich guys waaaaay more than with guys who have a personality and brain but not that much cash.

Financial security. Of course, lately I'm feeling like I've been a slut way too long.
Plus I'm getting older.

Thanks to those so far....

Sex. No question about it.

But the set-up is unrealistic, as skizziks points out.

Take money, buy sex. Problem solved!

Money. If you have money everything else will follow.

I don't think that it's a simple answer really. Some men might say true love, while others may say they just want to make a difference etc etc.

Playing on the most visceral elements of life kind of defeats the purpose of living a life. That being said, I'm a greedy mother fucker.. I love money. My reasonings behind wanting money has changed over the years. It used to be for selfish reasons.. such as just to be the big dog and have people envy me. Now I want money so I can support my family and give them what they need and what they want. I want to make sure my kids have a great education and a chance in life.

If I had to choose now between my wife and kids and money.. I'd keep my wife and kids.

Sex is important to me, but I can get that anytime, anywhere.

Pfft, money can buy sex.

If my tummy's full and there's beer in the 'fridge, I'd choose sex
If I'm hungry and thirsty.... shit, I'd still probably choose sex.

I am firmly in the money camp and that money can buy sex.

Those of you who don't want money can give me theirs... I will procure some sex for you.

Yup, money, a swanky apartment in Amsterdam, a lifetime supply of Viagra, problem solved.

No question, money, then buy sex, and some nice socks....

What's everybody's obsession with socks?

If you're up for some sex, you have to mind the sock-gap anyway!

Money.

So far and above, money. If you gave me the financial security to travel around the world and see/do all the things I want to do, at the expense of never having sex again, I would.

There is more to life then sex, and money lets you do basically anything. But then again I'm also a selfish guy that only worries about self gratification..meh.

Sex is good, seeing the whole of Europe over a few year long all expense paid trip would be far far better for me.

+1

Oh come on guys, stop copping out. The OP cleared said would you rather have a satisfying sexual life or comfortable financial security. He didn't say both. The money leads to sex thing isn't a real answer.

Fine.

I'll take the money and buy myself a slightly-less-than-satisfactory sex life. All the things I can do with that money will distract me in the meantime.

I'm a fan of having food on the table.
I could not enjoy sex if living in squalor.
Self-gratification works well for me.
So, yes. I prefer money over sex.

Asked me yesterday and i would have said money. Then last night got me some of the kinkiest sex i've ever had, so nerts to the money, i'm sticking with boobs!

Thanks for the responses. A friend recently had to decide whether or not to return to a sexless marriage in order to preserve his financial success. (I know..sounds like a cliche, but there it is.) He decided money was more important.

I was curious to know how common that attitude might be.

Money. Sex is all well and good, but if I could have my attractive personality AND money? Well hell, my life would be exactly where it should be.

$.......10

I would like to choose both, but if I can only have one, then I prefer money. Then I can build a sex robot or rent a hooker for a night.

Sex, with the thought that everything is relative*. Would I live under a bridge to get laid all the time? NO. Would I give up sex to jet around the world in a private plane and have anything and everything (exceptin' Alice of course) I want? No again.

Guess what I'm saying is money buys material things. Sex brings me more happiness then material things.

*Unless you're having sex with a relative then you have other problems then just being broke and living in a trailer.

About two fiddy.

And once again, Crompsin got it right. Enough money will compensate for any character or hygiene defects an individual might have.

True but the OP asked "Sex or Money?" Not "Hey if you had a bunch of money do you think you could mange to get laid whenever you wanted?"


Of the course the OP is a little on the vague side, so...

That's my point - you don't necessarily have money if you have sex, but if you're worth 7 or 8 figures, you're going to have as much sex as you want. Maybe even without money changing hands.

Why, if Crompsin was a millionaire, I'd have to stop questioning PonyPotato's (the former merlinau) sanity.

And that's my point- that's not the question.

Considering what a nightmare the OP actually is, I think we're going to have to agree to disagree.

sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex

If you have money it is pretty easy to have as much sex as you like

QFL !!

Money -can- lead to many opportunities for sex. Really. No shit about it.

If she's hot, sex.

If she's not, money.

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

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).

To Quote Tony Montana:

"First you get the money, then you get the power, THEN you get the wee-men"

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.

no amount of money is worth the headfuck of a sexless marriage.

i'll take the sex. the money may flow later

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.

Sex. Sex. Sex. SEX.

thats what i meant to say.. i wouldnt change a word! :thumbsup:

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.

(I know I am paraphrasing someone, but cannot think of who, or the original quote)

Ramone

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.
