A dilemma to consider...

[NakedDesire]

OK, imagine this scenario...

You are given two choices...and you must choose one:

1) You can choose any individual. They can be someone you know, someone you've never met in person, a celebrity, a random stranger you once saw on a bus, a girl (or guy) in a magazine, a top model, a pop star...absolutely anyone that you find irresistibly sexy. Once you've chosen someone, that person will be your lover for precisely one year. They will adore you, pleasure you, satisfy you and live out your ultimate fantasies. And they will enjoy it as much as you do. After one year is up, you will never see them again and your life will continue as before...except for one thing. You will never have sex again.

Or

2) Your life will continue as it is today, you can choose who you want to be with (assuming they want to be with you) and you can have sex for the rest of your life (assuming someone wants to have sex with you).

So which shall it be?

I think you're gonna have a hard time coming up with people around here who would be willing to give up sex for the rest of their lives.

Besides, who's to say that we aren't already with that person who adores and pleasures and satisfies us?

That's the nature of the dilemma. For a lot of people the satisfaction they receive from a current lover is all they'll ever need. For others, the temptation to find out what it would be like to spend a year with their ultimate fantasy might be too much. And those who've struggled to find a satisfying relationship despite many attempts, might be tempted to blow everything on a year of unbridled passion. Also, the age of individual is important -- I agree that 30 years of abstinence is a long time...but what if you were nearing your twilight years and wanted to relive your crazy youth one more time...why not? I think the dilemma is more subtle than it first appears.

There are analogies in the real world (like people risking a safe, happy marriage for a night of passion with a sexy stranger), but I'll save my philosophizing for another time!!!

So it's more of a how much are you willing to risk question...... Honestly I'd be more interested in finding out if the risk takers had any regrets afterwards or if they felt the experience was worth the price paid.

Apologies, I didn't explain myself very well previously, so I edited my previous reply. There are a number of reasons someone might choose option (1).

I see your point. Personally, I'd rather try to live out my fantasies in the life I've already got. It's not perfect, but one year of bliss isn't worth the price in my book.

So as you started the discussion, how would you choose????

I'd choose (2). But then, I'm already married to Claudia Schiffer
