    This is a question someone asked in another group a few years ago, and I thought it was interesting.

    Since I don't really fear doing it myself- I think that 100 would really be enough (although I would probably try to barter for more). Twenty seems a bit cheap, lol.

    A million dollars for me LoL! Maybe it's cause I'm greedy and maybe it's because I REALLY hate throwing up. In anycase if someone offered me a million dollars to puke I would totally do it, then I would be set for life. Get a house, a car, a dog, a cat, a flat screen TV, I'd be really happy.

    I picked 10,000 because right now, I could really use that money. 10,000 is a good number... but I would really prefer around 50,000 because that would pay off my student loans and help me get a car too


    However, I would v* 100 times at 1,000 a time to get to the 100,000. Right now I need the money.

    I can't answer this [img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img]I've been thinking about it and I don't think I could force myself to do it. If I was to v* anyway as a result of an sv* then of course I guess payment would make the experience better but to force myself to do it for cash - I'm not sure I can [img]smileys/smilies_09.gif[/img]

    I picked 1M. Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth it to me!

    I think this poll illustrates how emets are irrational when it comes to vomiting. Think how much you could do with a million dollars! (That's half a million pounds, for our British friends.) Can you really say you wouldn't "give in" and do it if someone offered you even as little as $500?



    Doug


    P.S. Something I think is interesting - on those reality shows like "Fear Factor," they have interns try out the stunts beforehand and they only pay them $50 to do the highly emetogenic ones.Edited by: gumdro&#112;per1

    I would do it for $100 000.


    Thats a life-changing amount of money and would be worth it. Thats for one session of V*ing only, and not violent or projectile either thanks! [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]

    I went for $100,000 too [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]only coz I'm feeling positive at the moment. On one of my more emetophobic days I would probably go for the 'Not even for a million' option!


    Yes, there would need to be conditions if I were to do it for cash. Like Kimmy said, only once, not violent, and most certainly not involvingIpecac or anything distressing like that...or else I'd end up blowing every cent of my hard earned $100,000 on therapy afterwards, lol!

    Someone would have to show me 100,000 before I would even entertain the idea, and of course it would be a one time occurance.

    Isn't it funny how many people said they wouldn't vomit even for a million dollars? Hmm... on the other end, what would happen if people got paid even $1.00 every time they puked. Would that lead to bulimia for some people?

    Thinking back on it, I would probably do it for 500, but someone would actually have to hand me the money and I would puke with it in my hand...LOL!! A million would be nice but I'd do it for 500...LoL!

    But back when my fear was really bad, no amount of money would tempt me to do it.

    1 million, but I would have to think hard if it was worth it. For 5 million I wouldn't hesitate...much.

    I've been told that I have a strange case, because I v* multiple times a day. If I had even one dollar for everytime I did it in a week, I would be rich!

    Even though I have been extra afraid of vomiting all this winter, I think I would still do it for $1000.

    I'd do it for a million, but I'd have to get either really drunk (outta my mind) or stoned (not that I condone the use of drugs, but this would be special) before I did it for the money.


    On the other hand...offer me 20 million and okay, where's the toilet!?

    $100. Seriously if you were holding $100 I would go puke right now. That's like 10 cds. Or some really cute new jeans. Or some jeans and shirts. Or perfume. You see my point(which ending up seeming to be how materialistic I am). [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]
