Someone asked the question about selling their body to pay bills. And it made me want to ask this question. Do you have a price that even if you never consider selling yourself, if someone out of the blue offered you a large sum of cash for a one night stand, would you do it? If so, how much $ is enough?

I would never sell my body for any ammount of money. My body is to important to me. You dont know if the person "buying" has any diseases or what. My husband is the only one who will touch my body sexually and I am very happy about that.

Luckliy for your husband he has a wife that thinks like you. This world would be a much better place if more women thought like that. Thanks for your comments.

Than I guess $5000 per night is your price. Lets hope you never have to pay your bills that way. Thanks for commenting.

Mayby its conceit but unless my husband was buying (and he wouldnt have to) then its worth way more than anyone could ever pay, there cannot be a price put on your pride and self esteem and what youd be giving up for the money that could ever make it worth it. I would never judge someone who sold there body to feed there children (and cant honestly say that if i was put in that position i wouldnt do the same, you dont realize what youd sacrifice for your child until your forced to do so) but i dont think thats what your asking. So for me the answer is no amount is enough not a million, not a billion, and to me even the concept of that amount of money would be foreign enough that it wouldnt be tempting, mayby if someone had already been living the good life and lost it, it would be different. I saw one qusetion asking selling your body is it good or bad, and was tempted to give a sarcastice answer but figured given the intelligence of the question the sarcasm probably would have been wasted anyways. Thanks for the good question, its hard to answer if youve never been in the position because you have to consider really what would you be willing to give up for money. +

Thanks for the thoughtful insight. I could go into why I asked the question but its not as important as your response. The part about what a person would be giving up for the money. There as so many ways to make money without having to do that. A wise person once said, "what does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul" or something like that. I personally think thats whats really sold in that type of transaction. I try not to judge myself when I see lost souls, but sometimes I can't help myself because I travel around the richest nation in the world. N.America land of plenty. Its not conceited to say its worth more than anyone could pay. Because its true. And thats the answer I was hoping to see. Well done.

Maybe I need to be a little clearer. I meant trading your body for cash. Thanks for commenting.

What a good question. I think the best answer was already given . I really honestly can't say that I wouldn't consider it though. If you think about it our bodies aren't worth anything anyway it is our souls that are eternal. And depending on the situation I think my soul would still be intact.

I just have to say that I do believe our bodies are worth something while we are here on this earth. I realize that it is just a shell that incases our sprit, but I still believe its a priceless gift from God that we are to take care of our bodies. I think God himself said that our bodies are the temple of the Living God. Just because some people don't believe this statement, doesn't make it any less true. Thank you for your great feedback.
