Board Game: Wealth or Celibacy

Submitted by Ghost of Hoke on

My friends and tackle this conundrum occasionally. Thought it might be fun to see peoples responses on here.

If you had to choose between wealth or celibacy which would you choose?

Parameters: 

Money- It can be whatever you want it to be. $100 million up to infinity. You have zero wants or desires when it comes to physical assets.

Celibacy-  You can talk to the opposite sex but it has to be stricly platonic. You are not allowed to get intimate, ever.

If you choose money you can not be with a woman, if you choose women you are jobless and broke. 

Which option do you choose?

More like bored game, amiriite?

Edit: Damn, missed like the third comment in here. I should use ctrl + F more often. Oh well.

Good question...don't have an answer yet. Probably money and be intimate with myself. Being poor sucks all the time, being horny only sucks until you do something about it.

Take the money. No sex would be a bummer but there is always self satisfaction. Also, with tons of money you can contribute to making the world a better place. It's not sex but would still feel good. Finally, with money you can experience a lot of what life has to offer.

The two options really ought to be (1)  Wealth and you lose your junk, or (2) No Wealth w/ healthy sex life (and by this I mean hooking up w/ model-types).  That is a better dichotomy.

This would weed out all the money takers and self-love scenarios.  I guess it still leaves you a corn-hole for the gay-way, but it certainly makes switching teams a harder selection.

 

To me, its still a tough call, but I'd probably still take the wealth, as there are so many other options for an enjoyable life and getting a rush once you have cash...sports cars, heli-skiing, eight 50-yeard line tickets at the big house with my kick-ass RV for tailgating, etc.

Is kind of the whole point of unlimited money. Just ask tony Montana (scarface) or Donald Trump. An unlimited supply of model types would be something else and I don't think it would get old. Each night (or morning) you'd walk back to your corner or box and you'd see some douche with unlimited money and you'd think "what a chump, all that money in the world but not one piece of strange and here I am homeless and bagging all the tens".

Money. No question. Easiest response I've ever given.

I'll get separate beds for my wife and I.

....

Okay, maybe this question is harder than it sounds at first. One quintillion dollars won't help much when the baloney pony needs saddled.

It depends on the definition of "sex". If I can still get handys and bj's I think I could make it. Maybe. If not, then I'll take the sex.

If only because it can get you so many things. Leisure time, education, material goods, etc.

Being a working stiff(two jobs) I would gladly forsake sex for a life where I can do as I want and answer to no one.( within legal and moral boundaries of course)

I first read this as wealth or celebrity. That would be too easy. We used to sit around during grad school beers on the couch and come up with sports related scenarios. Such as which "sport" would be easiest to become world class at given enough time. Darts, putt-putt, billiards and the like usually headed the list. Another I remember was if you were inserted into the starting lineup as an NFL running back that day what would your final line be? Would you basically get tackled once and be done, or do you think you could reach 5, 10 carries before being dragged off the field? Same for WR, could you even catch a single pass?

Money.
Don't need sex if I'm on my own island happily alone for the rest of my life! Who'd want to sleep with a no shaving no bathing pirate anyway? I would just sit on the beach all day and eat whatever I wanted that I could order whenever I wanted with all my money.

The "rules of the game" contradict the title of the conumdrum.

To wit:

if you choose women you are jobless and broke.

"Jobless and broke" adds a different layer to the question. If the choice is between "weath" and "women," I'd choose women. If the choice is "jobless, broke, starving, homeless with women," or "wealthy," my choice might be different. I would be ok with a simple job, with a modest income, and a woman who I share my life with. Actually, that somewhat approximates my current circumstances!

If you choose women, you're probably not going to be jobless...

Wealth or Celibacy is like Cake or death.  Everyone is going to pick Cake.
