The video is not really a great social experiment, Tubey, nor does it highlight anything useful. Most women asked that won't answer yes or no to the question, but to the situation. If a woman propositions a man, the man is still in a position of power. Most women would feel quite unsafe if asked the same question by a random stranger, as to be honest, a lot of women live in fear of things like rape.
Women might want to know the person they're shagging for many reasons. Social status and wealth? FFS mate. How about safety -- people not having diseases. People not being murderous rapists. People being nice people. If a girl came up to me and asked for sex, I'd still want to know these things.
You really shouldn't generalise. Your tendency to say "women are this", "women want that" -- do you think you're Hitch or something? Jesus Christ. There are women who just want security or a trophy husband, sure. But there are men who don't want intellectual equals, just sex dolls with a pulse. There are also men who want equals; partners with whom they are great friends. These aren't gender-exclusive desires.
There is sex for sex's sake. There is sex in exchange for something. There is sex as part of a healthy partnership. Men and women partake in all three.
Oh I know, that's why I've just said they'd want to know if you're a maniac before doing it, for a start!
But it goes beyond that - all women are different, all motivations are different. £500 wouldn't be an incentive for one girl, but it might for the next - but it's the fact it
is a form of incentive.
I think the video is useful in demonstrating one thing - for the obvious humour etc. in it, there's a less than 1% take up from women, 50% from men, and there's a reason for that.
To the bold bit - all sex is in exchange for something, by its' very definition it is. Whether that's as part of a relationship, or for money, or for sexual gratification, or for anything else, there isn't ever a situation where something is exchanged for it. But what I'm saying is that, for women, the "sexual gratification" reason due to sole physical attraction is well down the priority list when set against men.
For example, say a prostitute has a client lined up and he's massively attractive, and he says I want it for free. Would his attraction alone get him that? Or, say he pays the first time and he's amazing, would he get it for free in the future because of his performance?
Very unlikely. For a "normal" woman, it's even less likely. Would a woman stay with a man who battered her or cheated on her solely because he sexually pleases her?
When I generalise, I talk of the normal. I know there are women who enjoy sex for the sake of sexual gratification and if a man catches their eye, they'll want it for that reason. But they're not "normal" overall. Whereas for a man in the reverse situation, that is much closer to normal. Like you, I personally wouldn't, I value relationships, but it'd be naive of me to ignore my baser instincts and say it wouldn't be a temptation.
