Hello, meet Nerm Neilson;
http://www.audiomotivation.com/Images/speakers/norm-smallwood.jpg
(actually - I have no idea who this really is - I'm just borrowing his face for this game so we all can go off the same standard - sorry Nerm)
Here's the hypothetical situation;
You have just been approached by Nerm with a proposition - a quite indecent one. You see, Nerm want's to 'get jiggy' with you. He says he will be glad to pay for it, but he has a catch; if your price is too high he will rescind the offer. He won't tell you what the most is he will pay; It could be $5, $50, $500, $5,000, $5,000,000 or more. (US) You have no idea what his maximum is. To complicate matters you only get one chance. If your price is what he considers reasonable you will spend the next hour 'geting jiggy' at a local hotel then he will pay it. If your price is too high then Nerm will walk and find someone else who is 'more accomodative'. You know only the following about Nerm; He is disease free, he has had a vasectomy, and his offer is sincere. For the sake of this argument you are in an obscure county in Nevada where there is no law against this and everyone involved is considered to be of legal age. You have no idea about his economic status other than what his his appearance may convey. He could be middle class, rich or broke. (Anything you may know or find out about the real person in the photo is not applicable - the picture is just a generic public domain face I am borrowing for this purpose)

If you are willing to engage him in this proposition, what is the price you would quote for your "services"? - bearing in mind that if it is too high you get nothing...

Either gender may play - please do indicate your gender if you play. (and no - Nerm won't really be calling - this is just a game) Even though this is just a game - try to be honest about your price and justify it some. Try not to let other people's respose affect yours, either high or low. There is no 'wrong' answer and you will NOT ever learn in this thread if Nerm has accepted or denied you. It's just for fun. It is anonymous - so go ahead and tell us (if you are brave enough) - what is your price?

Being male and pretty near the epitome of heterosexuality (I'm almost so straight I can look at a banana and make it become straight...no, it doesn't go that far) I'd say around 10,000,000,000.

In Euro's.

I'm male and I would charge 5 million.

I would not have sex with a man for 5000 dollars. I'd rather work three months. For 5 million on the other hand I would consider dropping my standards for a while. But that depends on the details of what exactly "getting jiggy" entails...

*Pulls out two pounds fifty and half a cheese sandwich from my pocket* This is all I have...:(

What do you mean, he would pay me? Excellent!

Erm, no thanks, Nerm.

Erm, no thanks, Nerm.

Same.

It's against my principles to sell myself.
I have no problems with others doing it, it's just not my cup of tea :)

you got a big problem with this scenario, bozzy.

there are beautiful young women who would gladly do whatever nerm wants for what i would consider to be a modest fee. its under $500 for a clean beautiful willing young woman in the brothels of nevada, for example

i have no need for an extra $500. i have an aversion to having sex with strangers. the price required to get me to agree would be "lottery level". $50k maybe $100k, maybe more. nerm would be a fool to pay the price that would be required to get me to agree since he could get better for less.

so i would politely deline to name a price.

Why don't you just come clean and admit that 'Nerm' is really you?
Go on. Get it off your chest. You know you want to.

You're either trawling for some action or just get off on seeing how cheap NS'ers are.

Same.

Not only that, but Nerm isn't the best looker around town.

Ugh, get away from me. There isn't enough money in the world.

Not only that, but Nerm isn't the best looker around town.

And if he was? :p

For me it has nothing to do with money. He could be my personal hottest man alive, and I wouldn't.

I have dignity. For $50 bucks or $500,000,000, it's still being a prostitute.

My pimp handles this sort of thing. Bring it up with him, Nerm.

And if he was? :p

I wouldn't anyway, but I might think about it for a bit longer :p

*Pulls out two pounds fifty and half a cheese sandwich from my pocket* This is all I have...:(

Hello, I'm yours!

I wouldn't anyway, but I might think about it for a bit longer :p

:eek:

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 trillion dollars.

if he was better looking i would charge him triple that.

:eek:

Not that long.

I'd do it for a bottle of bacardi

Not that long.

:eek: Remembers the gymnast

For me it has nothing to do with money. He could be my personal hottest man alive, and I wouldn't.

I have dignity. For $50 bucks or $500,000,000, it's still being a prostitute.
ya ya ya but for $5million you could buy enough therapy to get over one bad night and still have most of the money left.

I'd do it for a bottle of bacardi
the bottom line is: would you drink it all before or after? :D

Actually read OP

..

I'd fuck him for free!

Hello, I'm yours!
Nah! I got a better offer from this guy called Nerm. He is going to pay me a fiver. :rolleyes:

the bottom line is: would you drink it all before or after? :D
Neither! Pour it on Nerm's sweaty nekid body durring.. climax!

Actually read OP

..

I'd fuck him for free!
you cheap tart :D

Nah! I got a better offer from this guy called Nerm. He is going to pay me a fiver. :rolleyes:
No profit for me? :(

ya ya ya but for $5million you could buy enough therapy to get over one bad night and still have most of the money left.


Don't need the therapy. Whether for $5 or 5 million, ya know what you are: it's only a matter of haggling over price.

Neither! Pour it on Nerm's sweaty nekid body durring.. climax!
and throw a match afterwards... hehehehe

you cheap tart :D
Meh.. ses is sex..

and throw a match afterwards... hehehehe
:p

so i would politely deline to name a price.


Aww, come on - haven't you seen the movie 'indecent proposal'? Just pretend that Nerm isn't interested in professional help...

I would have a price, but it would not be money. I'm in it for the experience. Nerm would have to offer me a sexual adventure I've never tried before.

That and peanut butter cups. *nod*

My pimp handles this sort of thing. Bring it up with him, Nerm.


ROFLMAO!

And no - I'm not Nerm. The only person I've ever paid for sex is my wife.

Oh, and FYI - I am male and Nerm would have to pay me no less than $500,000. That would pretty much be enough to add to my savings and relieve me from ever having to work again. Early retirement could definatly take the sting off of the memory of an unpleasant act.

I'd do it for a bottle of bacardi


Maybe you'd better insist on being paid up front... :)

I would have a price, but it would not be money. I'm in it for the experience. Nerm would have to offer me a sexual adventure I've never tried before.

What, no mud?

Don't need the therapy. Whether for $5 or 5 million, ya know what you are: it's only a matter of haggling over price.


A psyc professor of mine once said this;

"There are two ways a man can get sex - he can pay for it or he can get it for free. He will usually spend alot more money trying to get it for free".

I'm going to tell a story.

There was a guy in a bar who walked up to a woman and said, "Would you have sex with me for $5 million?" The woman thought about it for a moment and said, "For $5 million, I will." The man backed off for a second and said, "Would you have sex with me for $50?" The woman was irate, and started yelling, "What kind of woman do you think I am?"

The man retorted, "We've already established that. Now, we're haggling."

What, no mud?

Maybe.

I'm listening, what do you have in mind? ;)

For me it is not a money issue. I would just never have sex with a guy named Nerm.

I mean, think about it... "Oh Nerm! Oh NERM! NEEEERRRRRRMMMM!"

It is just too silly.





(No offense intended to any guys out there who are actually named Nerm)

For me it has nothing to do with money. He could be my personal hottest man alive, and I wouldn't.

I have dignity. For $50 bucks or $500,000,000, it's still being a prostitute.

My ass! I'd gladly sell myself for ONE night (gender irrelevant) in order to achieve a completely happy and easy lifetime. Unless you don't believe that money can bring happiness, I don't see why you wouldn't be willing to have one bad night (sacrificing pain, dignity, whatever...) in order to have money for the rest of your life.

I'm going to tell a story.

There was a guy in a bar who walked up to a woman and said, "Would you have sex with me for $5 million?" The woman thought about it for a moment and said, "For $5 million, I will." The man backed off for a second and said, "Would you have sex with me for $50?" The woman was irate, and started yelling, "What kind of woman do you think I am?"

The man retorted, "We've already established that. Now, we're haggling."

Wrong response.

Her response should have been simply "no", until he got back up to a sum high enough to allow her to never have to work again... maybe a bit higher so not only could she never work again, but get luxurious stuff too.

The guy in the bar was Winston Churchill. :)

This is very much like something an old ironworker did (among other things) to make apprentice lady iron workers cry.

He would pester them with increasing offers for sex until they finally agreed for some preposterous amount (like $1,000,000.00) then offer much lower saying that "We've already established that you are a whore, now we are dickering over price" and ever afterwards askling to get 25 cents worth at lunch.

Oh the joys for women breaking into the trades.

Aww, come on - haven't you seen the movie 'indecent proposal'? Just pretend that Nerm isn't interested in professional help...
as i recall, not having seen the movie, the couple in indecent proposal really needed the money.

i dont

as i recall, the man named the price he would pay, they didnt have to haggle

you are asking me to price myself in the hope of getting his business


the going price in nevada is much lower than any price i would charge. there is no way that the deal would be struck so why would i humiliate myself by making myself a defacto whore when there is no chance i would get anything but the loss of self esteem for my effort?

The guy in the bar was Winston Churchill. :)

I knew I always liked him.

Maybe.

I'm listening, what do you have in mind? ;)
Well.. it involves hoses, not for the mud, though.

Anyway.. you take the hose and out it in your mouth, you'll need to do this or you wont be able to breath.. then you..

Nevermind.. it's very sick..

Just as it was starting to get interesting. Ah, well. We'll save it for a more appropriate thread. ;)

Turkey basters full of mud are used.. south.. *points down*.. *and behin...no, Ruffy, shut up.*.. gee I can't wait to see this appropriate thread!

You have just been approached by Nerm with a proposition...

Sorry, Nerm. I love my husband. There's not enough money in the world.

(gender = bisexual female)

Now? Nerm wouldn't have a chance. It's against my nuptial agreement.

Ten years ago? I was doing this for a living. $35 for a quickie. You want an hour, Nerm? It's $75. More if there's anything kinky in it that I don't also enjoy. Oh, and there's a quantity discount if you bring your friends -- especially if they're really cute. ;)

I think what it comes down to is this: if your principles have a price, then they are worth nothing.

I think what it comes down to is this: if your principles have a price, then they are worth nothing.


Well, in that case, it comes down to whether or not selling sex is against your principles. To some people it is, to some people it isn't.

I would do it for 500, but I've already done it for less than 50. I've got no problem with that.
And I don't believe in principles. I would hate myself for missing that chance, and anybody who's proud of saying 'no chance' needs help. Just my opinion.

Well, in that case, it comes down to whether or not selling sex is against your principles. To some people it is, to some people it isn't.

Point taken.

Male. £4,321,123.40. Exactly, up front and I don't give change. If he can do that, I'll submit; otherwise, no thanks.

So, we've established that most NSGeners prefer to not think of themselves as prostitutes, but are definitely somewhat mercenary. Interesting. Me, I'm a guy and not a gay, so I'm really not interested in Nerm. At all. Plus, he's called Nerm, that really doesn't help anything.

$5,000 *everyone looks at him* What?

Female, married, age 47

My price is $400. That might seem low to some, for a married woman, but I must say, the whole idea rather turns me on too. Do you know how long it's been since I have had any strange??? LOL

It's also a price that if my husband found out, I could give him half and shut him up. LOL

I think what it comes down to is this: if your principles have a price, then they are worth nothing.

My aren't we pretentious today? lol

what is your price?
at least £5,000 and only if i was really skint with no other immediate possibility of getting any money.

I'm not for sale, sorry.

BTW, B0zzy, prostitution is legal in Nevada in the cat houses only so technically it would still be illegal for Nerm and whomever to be haggling over it.

Just saying. :D

No, I wouldnt do it. But I'd find someone who would and then split it with them.

Ugh, get away from me. There isn't enough money in the world.

There's not enough beer in the world, either.

$1.75

Who the fuck names their kid Nerm?

No, I wouldnt do it. But I'd find someone who would and then split it with them.

So you become the pimp?


I think the following things about this question:
If a guy approaches you like this, it is likely that he enjoys the contact that asking rude questions brings, rather than just the intimate contact itself.

Also, as I think that someone has sid before, it is an amount that Nerm would be willing to pay, not just an amount that you would be willing to receive. This means that people who have named figures with more than 3 zeros are unlikely to get anything.

I think I saw somewhere that a person sold their virginity on the internet for something like 45 000, so I would suggest that that is a top limit on the amount that someone would pay.

Also said, is that someone by accepting a proposal means that you are a whore, just the amount that you are asking changes. This is the thing that the money is buying, not the act itself.

A person like this could also be trawling for low offers, I heard about a guy who went around saying "fancy a shag" to any women he met and claimed that he rarely went home alone. True or not this is another way of looking at this.

As you may have guessed, I am a wordy person, but the original question has been put together by an itelligent person. I have heard a similar one:

"A person walks up to you and hits you, gives you 1000 (Currency of choice) and walks off. What do you do?"

Do you go sue, keep the money, beat the person up, call for help, dump the money, what?"

Just for the record the man whose story involves the large sum of money and then submitting 50 dollars is attributed to George Bernard Shaw. You can google it if you all like.



Male.

Politely refuse his offer.

Sorry Nerm, but my principles actually do not have a price.



From a strictly egoistic utilitarian perspective one should take the money. Arguing a general utilitarian perspective makes things much harder since you have to consider what effects this behavior on those around you. And for many people the inability to live with one's self after the act seems like an effective to deterrent, but I remain skeptical.



Suppose for a moment you are really there, and you don't think this guy is for real. You throw out some random high number like 10 million cold cash. What happens when he says: "Yes." What do you do? Seems to me like 10 million dollars solves a lot of problems in life. Heck it buys memory altering drugs so you can forget the previous night fairly readily.

NT

This reminds me of a very relevant joke, told to me by an Aglestonian.

A man walks up to a very well dressed, classy seeming woman, and sits down next to her, and introduces himself.

He tells her that he has a proposition for her, and asks if she would like to hear his terms.

The man says, "I was wondering madam, if you would sleep with me for 10 million dollars?"

The woman is surprised and says "My goodness, thats a lot of money, I suppose I would."

The man says "Very well then, would you be willing to sleep with me for 1 dollar?"

"Of course not!", she replies,"What kind of girl do you think I am?'

"My dear", the man returns, "we've already established what kind of girl you are, now were merely haggling price."

*grin* turrifik!

well i'm not willing to 'engauge him', but either way i have but one price, and that is the kind of world i would rather be living in.

while it is true we all have our price, as maslow noted, it isn't always sex or money or any other one thing.

for me it is a world that permits and encourages everyone to enjoy creating and exploring and not robbing each other of their calmness.

=^^=
.../\...

No-strings-attached sex with a guy, and get paid for it? Woohoo! I'm there! :D

Might as well make a profit from it... $500?

*Is a guy*

I think what it comes down to is this: if your principles have a price, then they are worth nothing.

No, then they are worth that price.
Assume the thing Norm offered wasn't cash, but something else.. say the willingness to donate an organ that could safe the life of your loved one. Would that price not be worth it ? Does it mean your principles are suddenly completely worthless ?

Hmm. If I were single I'd do it for a grand (£1k - about US$1600?), especially if he felt like coming back frequently.
Hey, it's indoors work, no heavy lifting, what's wrong with that? That's a month's wages!
One catch: No kissing. Sorry Nerm, it just... Ew.

As I'm not single it'd have to be significantly more - something silly, say half a million quid - so my girlfriend, who would probably frown upon shagging for cash, would get over it when she saw all those zeroes. And also the chance of him accepting is much lower.
I'd still sooner not give him a kiss, though. Even for £500k.

Male, and (when I'm picking the victim) heterosexual.

*straight male*

$50 million USD...

...odds are he won't pay it, and if he does, then I'll go for it...and take a long shower afterwards.

Christ, what a name....Nerm. :p

I'm going to tell a story.

There was a guy in a bar who walked up to a woman and said, "Would you have sex with me for $5 million?" The woman thought about it for a moment and said, "For $5 million, I will." The man backed off for a second and said, "Would you have sex with me for $50?" The woman was irate, and started yelling, "What kind of woman do you think I am?"

The man retorted, "We've already established that. Now, we're haggling."


Whether for $5 or 5 million, ya know what you are: it's only a matter of haggling over price.
Hmmm, sounds familiar, Galloism....

Because at least I can respect myself afterward. Listen to all of you -- some of you are assuming I would find the sex to be BAD, that I'd need THERAPY afterward.

Does it really bother people that some people don't have a price and are not willing to compromise their integrity?

anybody who's proud of saying 'no chance' needs help. Just my opinion.

Why?

Well, the sight of Nerm's face doesnt exactly arouse me. Far from it. He can have me for $11million NZD.

Hello, meet Nerm Neilson;
http://www.audiomotivation.com/Images/speakers/norm-smallwood.jpg
(actually - I have no idea who this really is - I'm just borrowing his face for this game so we all can go off the same standard - sorry Nerm)
Here's the hypothetical situation;
You have just been approached by Nerm with a proposition - a quite indecent one. You see, Nerm want's to 'get jiggy' with you. He says he will be glad to pay for it, but he has a catch; if your price is too high he will rescind the offer. He won't tell you what the most is he will pay; It could be $5, $50, $500, $5,000, $5,000,000 or more. (US) You have no idea what his maximum is. To complicate matters you only get one chance. If your price is what he considers reasonable you will spend the next hour 'geting jiggy' at a local hotel then he will pay it. If your price is too high then Nerm will walk and find someone else who is 'more accomodative'. You know only the following about Nerm; He is disease free, he has had a vasectomy, and his offer is sincere. For the sake of this argument you are in an obscure county in Nevada where there is no law against this and everyone involved is considered to be of legal age. You have no idea about his economic status other than what his his appearance may convey. He could be middle class, rich or broke. (Anything you may know or find out about the real person in the photo is not applicable - the picture is just a generic public domain face I am borrowing for this purpose)

If you are willing to engage him in this proposition, what is the price you would quote for your "services"? - bearing in mind that if it is too high you get nothing...

Either gender may play - please do indicate your gender if you play. (and no - Nerm won't really be calling - this is just a game) Even though this is just a game - try to be honest about your price and justify it some. Try not to let other people's respose affect yours, either high or low. There is no 'wrong' answer and you will NOT ever learn in this thread if Nerm has accepted or denied you. It's just for fun. It is anonymous - so go ahead and tell us (if you are brave enough) - what is your price?

me thinks you should come out of the closet..and tell your parents!

You too, Backwoods. ;)


Dang.

Thats what I get for not going back and reading the entire thread.

Curse you, crappy old joke!

Does it really bother people that some people don't have a price and are not willing to compromise their integrity?
It depends on what your values are. I don't see anything wrong with being paid to entertain this Nerm bloke. Free money, so far as I can see.
However, if he wanted me to lie and say I'd won it on the lottery or something? Stuff him.

Because at least I can respect myself afterward. Listen to all of you -- some of you are assuming I would find the sex to be BAD, that I'd need THERAPY afterward.

Does it really bother people that some people don't have a price and are not willing to compromise their integrity?

Yeah, besides he's a guy and just... ew.

Now if it was Nermina (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b383/DrkHelmet/pcala.jpg) on the other hand, I might consider it.

He won't tell you what the most is he will pay; It could be $5, $50, $500, $5,000, $5,000,000 or more. (US) You have no idea what his maximum is. To complicate matters you only get one chance. If your price is what he considers reasonable you will spend the next hour 'geting jiggy' at a local hotel then he will pay it. If your price is too high then Nerm will walk and find someone else who is 'more accomodative'. You know only the following about Nerm; He is disease free, he has had a vasectomy, and his offer is sincere. For the sake of this argument you are in an obscure county in Nevada where there is no law against this and everyone involved is considered to be of legal age. You have no idea about his economic status other than what his his appearance may convey. He could be middle class, rich or broke. (Anything you may know or find out about the real person in the photo is not applicable - the picture is just a generic public domain face I am borrowing for this purpose)

If you are willing to engage him in this proposition, what is the price you would quote for your "services"? - bearing in mind that if it is too high you get nothing...

Either gender may play - please do indicate your gender if you play. (and no - Nerm won't really be calling - this is just a game) Even though this is just a game - try to be honest about your price and justify it some. Try not to let other people's respose affect yours, either high or low. There is no 'wrong' answer and you will NOT ever learn in this thread if Nerm has accepted or denied you. It's just for fun. It is anonymous - so go ahead and tell us (if you are brave enough) - what is your price?

Assuming I get to define what "getting jiggy" involves, I'd "get jiggy" for $500K. If he thinks he gets to define what "getting jiggy" involves, the price doubles.

;)

Does it really bother people that some people don't have a price and are not willing to compromise their integrity?
What bothers me is the implication that accepting a deal like this would constitute "compromising one's integrity." I don't see why it would be so, any more than it would "compromise my integrity" to accept money in exchange for mowing somebody's lawn. As long as both parties agree that the fee is reasonable, I see no reason why anybody's integrity would be compromised in this situation. At least, not unless you assume that all work for pay requires that the worker sacrifice her/his integrity.

50 million US$. Hoping that he doesn't accept and with defining 'getting jiggy' beforehand.
Straight male, but memory can be erased.

My aren't we pretentious today? lol

i think i like you...maybe..yea i do

i think i like you...maybe..yea i do

You should. So far I am the cheapest "jiggey" on the board. LOL:p

You should. So far I am the cheapest "jiggey" on the board. LOL:p
Hey, as long as you know your price you're in good shape. :)

Yeah, besides he's a guy and just... ew.

Now if it was Nermina (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b383/DrkHelmet/pcala.jpg) on the other hand, I might consider it.
that pick needs an eek:eek: warning :p

$500 for him to get jiggy with me. What? It's just dancing!

OK, since I actually DO know what you're referring to, no. I don't do that. Price is irrelevant. Persuasion is futile. ;)

You are practically within my price range.

Persuasion is a novel by Jane Austen. But I'm sure you knew that.

I never said you had to define your integrity the same way I define mine.
I really wonder about the people who are saying that all that money would pay for a lot of therapy, though....

Yep! It's my second favorite (my favorite should be obvious). Obviously I'm not referring to the book when I'm saying that persuasion is futile.

For me it is not a money issue. I would just never have sex with a guy named Nerm.

I mean, think about it... "Oh Nerm! Oh NERM! NEEEERRRRRRMMMM!"

It is just too silly.





(No offense intended to any guys out there who are actually named Nerm)


Sorry, but I had to try a name which nobody would think was his real name - so I took a variation of Norm... for normal - you know - average. plain. standard. The norm...

I never said you had to define your integrity the same way I define mine.

Meh, I still say free.

Free for you too ;)

I never said you had to define your integrity the same way I define mine.

So you feel your integrity is compromised when you accept money in exchange for your labor or goods?

I have to admit, that seems a bit off to me as well, though I can't put my finger on why.

Hehe. Maybe I should read it. I've actually read P&P and Emma (it was slightly under duress, and more slightly the result of having a mother and two sisters, lol) - well written, but so far I've failed to appreciate the genre.

(I'm a straight guy)

I would probably be weirded out, refuse his offer immediately and avoid him from then on.
If I were forced to agree to his offer, my price would be $(i + 0.00037), non-negotiable. Not only would he have to procure an imaginary dollar, he'd also have to give me precisely 37/100,000 of a penny. Let's see you try that, Nermy-boy!

Nerm couldn't afford me. In fact, nobody could.

If he was youg and sexy, physically and mentally to my liking, I would offer him to get jiggy for free. But he's not, and I'm opposed to selling/renting my body. I might loan it to a friend or SO, but charging a fee is not how this kind of thing is to be done.

And I'm male, btw.

Straight Male and he couldn't offer me enough money to even make me consider the notion of getting jiggy with him.

i dont sell my body no matter how high the offer is
iam a girl btw

I was going to say that there simply wasn't enough money in the world, but now I'm trying to decide whether I'd hate myself more for prostituting myself or for holding my personal principles worth more than, say, 10 trillion dollars, which could be used to help a lot of people. Either way, I know I'd be quite unhappy, and it's difficult to determine which outcome would be more difficult to live with.

The best answer I have for now is that there is no amount of money he could give me *for my own personal use* that could possibly persuade me, but I'd at least have to consider asking for some obscenely large sum which I could then donate directly to a deserving charity.

that pick needs an eek:eek: warning :p

Dunno, I kind of like that picture. Didn't everyone else appreciate that picture?

Women rarely have to pay for sex.

Some men are so desperate to get laid that they will pay a woman to sleep with them.

Rather than this being a blot on the man's reputation, it becomes a blot on the woman's reputation.

A woman willing to sell sex is looked upon disfavourably. A man willing to buy is regarded in a fairly neutral manner. I'm sorry, but to me that seems quite backwards.

Nerm, you are one scary guy. I would assume you'd try to kill me in that hotel room. Sorry, no deal.

I have to admit, that seems a bit off to me as well, though I can't put my finger on why.
Well, if you need therapy after, it's likely because you went against your principles and were traumatised by it.

I'm a male, and more or less straight.

I'd do it with "Nerm" for $500. I'd ask for $1000, but I'm afraid it might be too much and I'd end up with nothing.

Why $500? That should be enough to upgrade my PC decently.

And yes, I am willing to "get jiggy" with a strange man to upgrade my computer.

You know, I think something might be wrong with me...

EDIT: "more or less straight" means that while I do consider myself "straight" most of the time, I do like some fantastically screwed up kinky fun from time to time.

I'm sorry Sin, but that's crap. My opinions on the matter aside, there is quite a stigma about it.

Hell - I'll upgrade your PC if you promise NOT to get jiggy with me and just do a few chores around my house - like trim 250 linear feet worth of mangroves from 12 feet down to 6 feet.

I have enough money so I'd say "No thank you." and walk on past.

no amount of money could be enough.

I'd do him for $2,000 if his name wasn't Nerm. That's just weird.

Two dolla.

So you feel your integrity is compromised when you accept money in exchange for your labor or goods?

I feel it is repugnant for me to have sex with someone I don't care about. To me, it's more than just entertainment, it's communion with someone I love.

To have sex for money strikes me as crass and mercenary.

I'm sorry Sin, but that's crap. My opinions on the matter aside, there is quite a stigma about it.
I argue that this stigma is neither as widespread, or as negative as the one that women who sell their bodies face.

Dunno, I kind of like that picture. Didn't everyone else appreciate that picture?

I did, thats an awesome picture. Something about the spider and the woman, i think.

3 fitty.

I make enough for my purposes. If you're in need though maybe we can make a deal? :D :fluffle:

3 fitty.

How bout... TWO fitty?

Well, if you need therapy after, it's likely because you went against your principles and were traumatised by it.
Yeah, but on the other hand you could look at it as a reasonable medical expense.

For example, what if the question was: how much money would it take for you to let Nerm break your arm?

Maybe I'm crazy, but if somebody offered me a million dollars to get my arm broken, I would take the deal. I'd tell myself, "Fuck, with that kind of money I can get a cyborg arm to replace the old one!"

If therapy is viewed as medical treatment, then it seems like it wouldn't be much different to talk about "repairing" the mental damage in the same way I think of repairing physical damage.

Why don't you just come clean and admit that 'Nerm' is really you?
Go on. Get it off your chest. You know you want to.

You're either trawling for some action or just get off on seeing how cheap NS'ers are.
:D
Nerm gets no Harlesburg Booty!

I make enough for my purposes. If you're in need though maybe we can make a deal? :D :fluffle:
maybe you could get my husband to pay me.......LOL not really he sorta already does....

is it strange that I said no to the sex, but would actually accept money for him to break my arm?

hmm.....

£2.50 + travel expenses. A friend of mine once stated that this was what he'd have to be paid to have sex with a sheep, simply because he thought nobody would believe that he would do it for that amount of money.

Hell - I'll upgrade your PC if you promise NOT to get jiggy with me and just do a few chores around my house - like trim 250 linear feet worth of mangroves from 12 feet down to 6 feet.

Hmm... You know, depending on how hard that is, I might - might, mind you, consider it instead of getting jiggy with Nerm.

I have to admit now, I'm a little curious as to what Nerm has in store kinkwise.

Not only that, but Nerm isn't the best looker around town.

yep. That's why I'll charge him 10 million.

:D 100 bucks and I'm yours sailor. Meh, I can put up with some buggery for an hour. btw I'm male and straight
