Poll: Would you take the offer?

[Jonluw]

Hiya escapists.

A genie has appeared before you, offering to remove your libido completely. If you accept its offer, you will have no recollection of the episode. It will be as if you never had a libido in the first place. Do you take the offer?

Spoiler: A modification to the offer:

The genie also offers to come back, a year after making the deal, to temporarily restore your memory, evaluate the experience, and allow you to undo the deal if you so wish.

Edit: Myself, I think I would want to try it out, so I would accept the deal with the modification.

No way, not a chance. It's all I have left!

 

[Sanguinius- The Angel]

No way, I happen to like sex thank you very much.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

I'd ask the genie for a different wish, as I am already lucky enough to be nonsexual.

 

[RollForInitiative]

Hell no. My girlfriend would not approve and neither would I.

 

[Mr. Omega]

I feel I have good control over my libido.
...who am I kidding?
But still, I'd reject the offer.

 

[Lono Shrugged]

What's the point? If you don't remember it then it doesn't matter. If you can't remember having a desire you may as well not have it.

Huh? I'm not sure I understand.

The genie won't erase your memory if you decline the offer.

 

[Super Toast]

No way. I don't think there would be any benefit unless you liked illegal stuff.

 

[AssassinJoe]

Why the hell not? It's not like I'm useing it right now. lol
(Quietly sobs in a corner)

 

[Lynx]

Hell no. Sex is great.

 

[Lust]

No thank you.

I like my libido just the way it is.

 

[Banana Phone Man]

I don't have one but I'd say yes just to see if anything changes.

 

[Jonluw]

(Quietly sobs in a corner)

My reasoning exactly. It's only in the way at the moment.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Hell no! Sex is way too much fun to chat about and fantasise about and all that.

Sure I ain't actually having sex, but I'd still miss a bucketload of fun without my libido.

I'd ask the genie for a different wish, as I am already lucky enough to be nonsexual.

My mind is still trying to wrap itself around that. I mean, it's one of the most basic survival trait a creature can have.
Such an interesting question.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

So he just takes away your libido and disappears? No consolation prize? Whatever, I'm one of the couple of people who don't need a genie for that wish...

Yeah but if you have point blank no desire for sex, as in naked ladies/men don't interest you and you don't feel like you are missing out then why not do it? It's like not having to breathe or something. I like sex but if this genie removes my desire for it then whats the difference? I don't miss sex if I go for it. If the genie said I can never have sex then it's a problem. but never WANTING it is fine.

 

[Xojins]

Um, no I wouldn't; I like sex.

I have to try and wrap my head around why people would want to have sex >.>
But, of course, the answer is to continue their bloodline, etc, or just for fun.
Can't say the same of being nonsexual, but at least I can't be distracted like people who have sexual urges/feelings can.
More time for Minecraft. Or other games.

Ah, I see what you mean now.
