I would and could and would find it totally worth it. Then again, I'm technically single, don't masturbate very often anyway, and am poor and still trying to start my career. A million dollars, even after the taxes, would get me through grad school, which would be a huge boon towards my career... plus not having to worry about gas money, my share of the rent, or groceries while I was in grad school...

Even if I couldn't masturbate, I'd probably be okay. My sex drive just isn't that high. Turning my girlfriend down would be hard... Could I still perform sexual acts for other people and just not get off myself?? I'd be okay with that.

if I can still get off then SURE! That money would solve a lot of our problems right now, I'd definitely give up sex for a year. It would be SUPER hard and it would be rough on our relationship, but I bet we both could do it.

Wow. I'm surprised at our "sex positive" community. I know the economy sucks. But, damn. Money isn't worth that much to me. It isn't my main motivator, and sex is soooooo wonderful. I cannot keep my hands off my man.

I'm surprised at the results. I wonder how many who say they would go a year without sex actually could once it was a reality, especially if they were partnered. And, I keep hearing, "As long as I have my toys." Toys ROCK, don't get me wrong. But they don't live and breathe and hold you and love you after getting you off.

Kiddies, in the long run, a million isn't that much.

Do people have to pay taxes on it, too?

I've gone years during a celibate marriage without even masturbating. This would be cheesecake. Besides, it'll give me an excuse to get back on the Zoloft since that completely kills my drive anyway.

I've never had a relationship in which the sex was awesome and worth it, so I'm not missing something I've never had.

No offense, but if you're not in the humiliating situation of living off of charity, then sex positive or not, there's not a lot of room to judge. A million dollars is not enough money to live life on forever, but careful budgeting would go a long way towards making life much more comfortable, helping dreams be achieved, and preventing a ton of stress.

I technically have two partners, but if I told them that I had a chance to be financially free and independent if we abstained from sex for a year, I don't think either of them would hold it against me. They've both seen me breaking down over the stress of being overqualified and underemployed and they've both seen me sobbing my eyes out when I've disappointed my dad (whose charity I'm living on) by incorrectly balancing my tiny, tiny budget. I care a lot about both of them, but if I was told I had to keep it G-rated for a year so I never had to go through the stress of being broke, I'd do it in a heartbeat, and if they care about me as much as I think they do, they'd do it too.

This. This. This. God, living off of other people is demoralizing as shit. This reminds me of my current situation.

Pffff easy! I don't even have that much of a raging sex drive anyway, it wouldn't be an issue at all. Particularly if masturbation is still allowed, but even if not, no big deal, in my mind anyway.

I've gone technically 2 years, had sex, and then another year. But I consider it to be 3 years. Cuz I only had sex with one person after the two years, and we only did it one time then I went another year.

I have, but I'm engaged now so....maybe if he had to as well. That's a hard question. Is it just PIV sex, no oral? What are the rules?

I'd do it in a heartbeat. I think my husband would be supportive as well.. To the one poster above ^^, sex isnt all that love offers. There is all sorts of ways to show love. Sex is just a bonus. It's only for a year!

A million could be an ENORMOUS help at the moment to give us a financial cushion with my dad not working and waiting to get a new liver, and would be a helpful nest-egg if there was any left over once he got one (and if I could somehow grab one for him with that money without cutting in line, I would). Hell, it would be 50 years' worth of my current paycheck! A million may not be as much as it sounds, but it's not a trivial amount, either.

Yes, sex is wonderful, but since I've only had sex once in my entire life up until now, it's not like it would be changing much to go without. Besides, how many of us are in situations where we may not see our SO again for a year or more?

Everyone's got their own situation, their own reasoning, their own opinion. And sex has varying degrees of importance for different people and their relationships. If someone could and would go without sex, who's to judge?

Though good call - do we have to pay taxes on it?
