You don't have to be the richest person in the world to seek and obtain pleasures in life.
One of those urges is the act of sex.
While there is no worthy substitute for acting on our inherent sensual desires and reaching a state of euphoria, would you be willing to sacrifice making love for something greater?
Curious to hear where people place their value in life, Redditor serrafinagal asked:
"What would you give up sex for?"
People who truly found love share their thoughts.

Faithful
"My spouse. I'd rather not but if something happened I wouldn't leave him over a lack of sex."

"Same. If my partner was to get sick or for any reason our relationship was 'sexless' I wouldn’t think twice about staying with him. Until my last day."
– Gaijin-cat-herder
The things that matter most easily trump carnal desires.
Life Itself
"To continue living, and I've done it. When you have advanced prostate cancer, you need to be castrated. That takes away all ability, interest, the works."

Who knew Reddit had a deep, romantic side?
