Jim,

I would pay 5,000,000 for my wife to go to another man. It would have to be for more than 1 day, however.

Tom

I'd take the $5 million. Next day I'd be elsewhere.

Yes, I would. Put the question this way: List all the things you could do with $5,000,000.... all the people you could help, all the disfigured people you could set right, all the blind you could give sight to, all the misery you could assuage, all the lives you could transform. Read the list and ask yourself what kind of psychopath you would be to say, Nah, it's much more important that my husband not have sex with someone else for a day... I'd feel bad, but I'd get over it (in some lovely spot) and I'd agree to it. First I'd see if I could be the one who performed the service instead of him, though...

Hell, I might even insist he do it even if he weren't agreeable to the proposition. In fact, I'd prefer that dynamic, I think!

G. B Shaw had an exchange, supposedly, on this topic. As I remember, the punch line was to the effect of, "We are merely haggling about the price."

<For the ladies out there, would you sell your husband to another woman for one day for
$5,000,000 if he was agreeable?>

Yes, but only if they practiced safe sex. It would not be worth $5,000,000 to me if my husband got a sexually transmitted disease, or fathered a child that he would not be around to love and nurture, because it would be unfair to the child.
