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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
