From Gregory Stock’s The Book of Questions: Would you be willing to give up sex for 5 years if you could have wonderful erotic dreams every night?

As someone who’s never experienced the real deal, I have to say – this arrangement doesn’t sound half bad! I mean, think about it. No awkward first times, no performance anxiety, and no worrying about STDs or unplanned pregnancies. Just pure, unadulterated fantasy every single night. Sign me up!

Of course, I can imagine some of you seasoned veterans out there might be a bit more hesitant. After all, dreams can be great, but they’re no substitute for the real thing, right? But let’s not forget the power of the mind. With 5 years of nightly erotic adventures, who knows what kind of wild scenarios and techniques you might dream up? You could wake up every morning feeling like a tantric master without ever leaving your bed.

Plus, think of all the time and energy you’d save not having to go out and find a partner. No more swiping on dating apps, no more awkward small talk, and no more morning-after regrets. You could focus on your career, your hobbies, or just catching up on all that sleep you’ve been missing out on.

But let’s be real – 5 years is a long time to go without the real thing. Even for a virgin like me, the idea of missing out on all that physical intimacy is a bit daunting. Would the erotic dreams be enough to satisfy that craving for human connection? Or would we all just end up feeling lonely and touch-starved?

I guess it really comes down to what you value most in your sex life. If you’re all about the physical sensations and the emotional bonding, then maybe 5 years of celibacy isn’t worth it, no matter how good the dreams are. But if you’re more into the mental and imaginative aspects of sexuality, then this could be the ultimate opportunity to explore your deepest fantasies without any real-world consequences.

What do you think, dear readers? Would you take the deal? Or are you too attached to the real thing to give it up for 5 years? Let me know in the comments below – I’m curious to hear your thoughts! And who knows, maybe we can all compare notes on our wildest dreams while we’re at it.
