Quick Opinion Poll

Hypothetical situation... a thought experiment, if you will. You have to make a choice:

1. You get to enjoy a full set of sexual feelings and experiences, but there's a good chance you'll have cancer by the time you're 65.

2. You live with diminished urges and drive, but your chances of cancer are significantly lower, and there's a good chance you'll live to 80 or beyond.

Delayed choice or no choice is the same as selecting item 2.

What do you choose? Why? What are the impacts to your life? To those around you?

Just trying to stir up the pot a little. Please comment.

Thanks!

  1. That's a tough one. Some types of cancer are easily treated with success, others not so much. And how diminished would the urges be for option #2? It's hard to answer without knowing specifics. But I think I might know what you're getting at with this...

  2. Survived cancer and not that keen on a second (more like a fourth) round. Also lost a good friend to breast cancer last year. Both made me look hard at quality of life.
