Hehehe...A marriage counsellor and psychologist,
Paul Tripp, noted in one of his books that sex and money are two
pleasures that are unequalled in their power to captivate people’s
attention and demand their worship. Oftentimes, he suggests that people
want to enjoy both sex and money almost together. Both are also among
the physiological needs of man, according to Abraham Maslow’s ‘hierarchy
of needs’. Whether sex can be traded for money, Fidelis Chidi blog asked some people if they would give up sex for life if they’re offered N100m.
I’ll choose sex over money
Dorgu Matilda
Money is good, but if you really think
about it, there are better things than it, such as sex. In the home, if
you have just sufficient money, you’ll be good to go. Life will be fun.
You will eat whatever you want to eat, and you will have lots of sex.
The home will stay intact and there will be no problem. I have even
discovered that middle class partners have better homes than many rich
ones. What I’m trying to say in essence is that money doesn’t determine
fulfillment.
Money can’t buy everything
Olugbenga Oni
People tend to believe that money can buy
everything in life. I don’t think so. Sex is a natural urge, which I
believe cannot be quenched, because our bodies are not made of wood. I
cannot trade that for any amount. Believe me, I don’t need up to that
kind of money to enjoy life – have a good wife, lovely children, a
comfortable house and a nice car. When I have all of these, I don’t need
to give up sex for whatever amount.
Sex keeps a home, not money
Rebecca Oko
In any home, I believe sex does a better
job in keeping partners together than money. Money keeps quiet when sex
is talking. No man will perhaps be happy when a wife brings only money
to the table and stays off sex. Sooner or later, he will go and find
another woman to sleep with. You can keep bringing the money home, while
he will find his way out to enjoy sex. So, I will not take the offer.
It depends on my age
Adetunji Oduyemi
Age is a good factor here. For instance,
if I’m 80 and you offer me this kind of money to give up sex, I will
gladly accept it. I will not engage in sex again until I die. My wife
would have perhaps lost interest in sex at that age also, so it’s
definitely going to be a good offer. But while I’m still young and
agile, able to perform, I will not do that. Money shouldn’t dictate how I
live my life. With hard work and God by my side, I can make that money
before I die and still enjoy sex.
Sex is better than money
Ogedengbe Rosemary
If we’re talking about marital
fulfillment, sex is a very important factor that will determine that,
not money. Money is also key, but couples can live together without it,
as I have seen in many cases. But when a woman deprives her husband of
sex, I think that’s the beginning of trouble in the home. Even if my
husband says I should accept the offer, I will not. I believe he can
just be interested in the money. Once he has it, he will perhaps run
away and marry another woman.
Sex is more important than money
Kareem Semiu
You can never compare sex with money. And
you don’t have to be a sex addict before you realise the many benefits
of sex. It heals, money doesn’t. Sex eases your mind and makes you
relax, while having money doesn’t mean you will have peace of mind. Many
times, it even adds more to one’s worries. There are many other
benefits sex can add to one’s life that money cannot. Partners who have
more of sex will feel better than those who have more of money, perhaps.
Money can’t replace sex urge
Stella Akpan
No amount of money can replace sex urge.
Men that I know will not ask their wives to bring money in replacement
of sex. They prefer the latter to the former, and I think that is how it
is supposed to be. I think ignorance is when someone focuses more on
making money than sex in the home.
No, I don’t plan to be a eunuch
Ogunleye Gbenga
How can a young man or woman believe they
can get more satisfaction in life when they have only money? They will
be highly mistaken. Likewise, you can never get fulfillment in life when
you engage in sex only. We need to strike a balance. As for me, I am
not a eunuch and I don’t plan to be one, so let the person offering me
N100m to stay off sex for life keep his/her money. Come to think of it,
individually, one doesn’t need up to that amount to live life to the
full.
I may, but for a bigger amount
Eta Ruth
Come to think of it, that money is not
much. In just a few years, it can be spent. If you’re talking about
billions, maybe it will be a better offer. I can do much good for the
world and invest a substantial part for my future. If I get that kind of
money, I could get busy with some charity works globally and forget
about sex. At least, sex is not food and I can live without it.
I’ll decline the offer
Umar Saminu
I can never make that kind of mistake –
to think having money can quench sex urge. It is not possible, except
maybe someone is castrated. In fact, when you have that kind of money,
that’s when more women will show up, ready to sleep with you for a piece
of that largesse. In short, I will decline the offer.
