So, you thought you had principles eh? - Page 3

The thing is (And no offence is intended) a lot of people on BD are couples and they all see each other's posts, and we're a close knit community of friends. If people didn't have their other halves on here or if it was a confidential 1-1 conversation I just wonder... However, at the same time I also believe the sentiments put forward by those that have answered, maybe I'm just not a principled person.

Anyway as for me, if I wasn't married or engaged, and it was guaranteed that no one found out, I'd probably do it for a suitable sum - it would have to be fairly substantial at least £1mil but probably more. However I'd never trust that the truth wouldn't come out, and I'd be too paranoid about that for the rest of my life/relationship, and hence couldn't live with it. So whilst on paper I probably would, in real life I doubt I'd be able to go through with it.

If I could see the future and knew that it would never be release publicly, I would be tempted.

Funnily enough I was reading an article in the paper the other day that Britons are generally more likely to cheat than most of the other European nations which was both sad and interesting to find out.

The BD couples I know are very honest with each other though.

I'd expect Phil would say he'd do it. So it wouldn't be a shock to me if he came in and posted that he'd do it.

That's of course true and I never doubted that for a moment. But loaded questions in front of people you care about are usually given answers to appease the situation in general.

The original post does say "and it's guaranteed to remain confidential". Guaranteed. It will never be found out by anyone.

Will · 04-10-2008, 17:02

I know it says that... but it's whether or not I could believe it.

As I said if I, myself could go to the future and be sure of it (i.e. I don't trust the person that is paying me to shag 'em) then as I said I would be tempted.

How are they going to stop me having a massive conscience (sp) moment and blabbing though! Ok it's one thing that no one is going to mention it, but another thing that you yourself know and have to live with it.

Exactly my feelings

By drowning it out with houses and cars and yachts!

Given that I'm presently single then sure, bring on the money, I don't think it counts as cheating on yourself.

If I had a partner then I'd like to think that I wouldn't do it without discussing it with them first and even then I possibly wouldn't but realistically it isn't something that could be said with any degree of certainty unless I was in that position. Effectively the question is "would you prostitute yourself", the rest of it is merely haggling over the amount of money required.

No definitely not. Strange thing is I wouldn't sleep with anyone for money (even a life changing amount) if it was just down to me. However, if my partner knew about it and really wanted me to do it, I would consider it. It would have to be a massive amount of money (somewhere 5 million+). It would depend on who the person was too.

So... as a singleton, never. In a relationship, only if my partner wanted me to but dependant on how much and who it was, I would only be doing it for my partner.
