Between sex and money, which do you think is a greater motivating force in our society?

I’m only 13

I tend to think of money as the greater motivating force if for no other reason than most people believe that with enough money one can get sex.

I also think that money is a greater motivating factor than sex. In America, money can buy you everything.

For women, money. For men, sex.

It depends on which you have less of.

We’re talking substantially different motivations one being biological and the other social. From an individual’s standpoint, @Dog, is right on. I’d like to think, from a personal standpoint, I offer a complete package encompassing both (but sorry, I can’t offer….sccrowell has already called dibs)...wtf

I think money, I think people are so into material things they dont see the good in simple things anymore.

Good answer, Dog.

I’ll go with money.

@bluesky welcome to Fluther!

Money by a long shot. Sex is used as a tool all around us to gain revenue.

As a whole, money is easily the greater motivating force. But of course, individually, it varies.

@PandoraBoxx
oh how true

Money over sex, because, money can buy you sex.

I was in high school, in a car waiting for a friend to come out, to ride to some school function with us. The girl’s mom came out to say she would be ready in a few minutes. Our friend was really plain (homely) looking, and her mother was drop dead beauty pageant gorgeous. I remarked that our friend looked nothing like her mother.

The mom driving the car remarked, in her very best lady-like southern voice, “Honey, beautiful women often marry men for their money. Usually rich men aren’t handsome, and there’s no guarantee that children will look like their mother.”

@PandoraBoxx
It almost makes it seem unnatural..

I provide sex for money, in case you chose sex.

@SeventhSense, it does seem a little calculating, doesn’t it?

Sex for young men , money for old men. No one knows what women want.

@justwannaknow i like that “what women want” in ur answer..
i would choose money…

Money. The drive for money puts sex on the back burner until you get the money and then you want to celebrate by having lots of sex. I think that’s how it goes but it’s been awhile.

@PandoraBoxx
And I disagree with the rich men not being handsome. I’m handsome and I’m…um….well never mind…ok maybe it is true

I think money. If you have money, you can find ways to get sex. If you don’t have money and want money – find the right (or wrong, depending on the way you are looking at it) person and you can trade sex for money. It all seems to come back to money.

hmmmmm…...

@cak…For me, somehow and for some reason, everything comes back to sex. I guess that is because, fortunately, money has never been an issue and I’m a…a…a…very sensual.

@wtf me, too. Money, it comes and goes. Sex…a big and important part of my life! ;~)

Go with money. You can never go wrong with money.

How about a third option- Love.

I would have said sex a year ago. Now that I’m feeling better, it doesn’t seem so important. For me, sex is a symbol of love. It doesn’t happen without love (for me). So maybe money, which, I believe, is a stand-in for status, although it doesn’t measure status very accurately, is a greater motivator. Although, If I didn’t have any sex in my life, I’d certainly trade my intelligence to have it.

Money. cause then you can buy sex.
