That would be completely your call to make.

Now, it's easy to jump onto your moral high horse and say "of course I wouldn't", but try to imagine this as a real scenario. Sex with a stranger, one time only and it's guaranteed to remain confidential.....for a potentially life-changing sum of money.

I'd be surprised if, secretly, the only real answer the majority of you will be asking yourselves is "how much would it take?".
There has been a similar thread to this before somewhere I think

It would never be 100% sure to remain a secret, I mean, for all you know, You could end up talking in your sleep even and saying something, there are millions of things that could happen to make it not a secret at any moment.

But, I dont think I would do it, as I would hope that if I was with someone, I was so happy, and so in love with them, that I would not be able to even think of doing anything with anyone else, no matter what for.

Imagine the conversation though:

Man: "I slept with somebody else"

Woman: "You ****! I'm leaving you! ... .... Who's is that Lambo outside?"

Man: "Mine. I'm now a multi-millionaire"

Woman: "Let's not rush these things, I'm willing to talk it through"

Most people know my financial situation.

If I was 100% certain the bloke did not have any std's or anything like that, and contraception was to be used, I dont see why not.

The next thing I'd obviously think of is what kind of amount of money would I want in return? It'd have to be life changing enough to make a difference to not just my life and the lives of my children, but I'd want to be able to help out my parents and put away some money for my neices and nephews too.

As long as all of the conditions met my approval, I'd be happy to lay back and think of England on just that one occasion.

Although, I think I'd have to tell my other half about it, it'd not remain secret (I wouldnt feel comfortable with that). If he had a problem with it, I'd have to have a serious think about going through with it or not.

Me: "Erm, Mrs. Feek, I've been offered 10 mil to shag this woman. She's quite pretty, no strings attached, guaranteed clean and nobody will ever know."

Mrs. Feek: "If I join in, will we get 20 mil?"

I wouldn't be able to keep it from my Faysh I'd have to talk it through.
He would agree though and it would have to be 5mil atleast.

Its a life changing amount and it would be a couple of hours (10mins if he is like Faysh ) of sex.
