Once upon a time, money and sex got together on a boat, while traveling solo to an island. They got on the boat and happened to sit right next to each other.

The boat ride was about half an hour, and they met as strangers. However, both money and sex realized they have a lot of things in common. For starters, money and sex, both agreed to fuck society.

Here is how the conversation went. For the sake this conversation, we will assume money is male and sex is female.

Ladies and gentlemen, money and sex once took a boat ride and here is the conversation they had:

Money: Hey, good to meet you, where are you from?

Sex: I am good, I am here only, been here a long time.

Money: Oh, great. Same, here. I have been here a long time too. Just getting bored now of the hypocrisy of human beings. These guys are just pain in the ass.

Sex: You have no idea how much experience I have with ass and associated things.

Money: How come?

Sex: Well, I am sex. Human life is dependent on me not just for pleasure, but also for procreation. If I didn’t exist, human life would have just stopped at Adam and Eve. It’s because Adam and Eve had me, and so on, the human race grew from there.

Money: And how did Adam and Eve meet? (Conversation between money and sex)

Sex: I have no idea. Some shit happened in the Garden of Eden and they then had sex, had me, I mean and the rest is history.

Money: Sounds quite romantic. You have been around for quite along. What do you think about human beings, and the way they consume you; I mean it must be exhausting.

Sex. Yes, them b******. They enjoy me, philosophize about me and also denigrate me.

Money: Sorry, what does denigrate mean?

Sex: Oh, sorry. It means criticize in a derogatory manner.

Money: Oh, sorry, pardon my lack of a good vocabulary. But why would they do that?

Sex: Oh, they are stupid. They philosophize that some kind of sex is good, and some kind of sex is not good. For example, if they have to use you to experience me, it’s immoral.  Oh, aren’t you the money that they makes the world go round?

Money (smiles with a bit of pride): Oh, yes, they use me. They can’t do without me either but some of them hate to admit it. Anyhow, tell me more about you please. Listening to you is titillating, if I may use that word.

Sex: Oh, no don’t even get there. I have no interest in you. No, I am not gay. Just that you are not my type. Heck, there are women these days, who are interested in including me, when they meet their female partners, and openly talk about it. The gay pride is for real.

Money: I know, it’s all over the place. Do you feel abused by people for their needs?

Sex: Yeah, in a way, but then, that’s what nature intended me to be, an outlet for people to enjoy life, and procreate.

Money: Are you happy, though? (Conversation between money and sex)

Sex: Sometimes, I am quite happy when people who are in love, engage in me. They find joy and happiness while having me. They use funny terms, like making love. But, having sex is what it is. I don’t know why so many people want to have me, but are shy of saying the world.

Money: Oh, don’t you bother about that. The world is quite full of hypocrisy. When are you not happy though?

Sex: Oh, there are horrible human beings out there. There are those who would have me with women against my consent, called rape in human society. That is quite painful. I don’t know what level of immorality makes people do that. What a tragedy and a shame it is.

In some cases, when men pay women for short term sexual pleasure, I have no qualms about it, because it becomes a monetary transaction in those cases, and you are involved. Wherever you are involved, it’s a transaction, isn’t it?

Money: Yes, after all, I am the medium of transaction globally. It’s quite a dry life that ways, unlike yours (winking at sex).

Sex: *Feels shy*

Money: Since you haven’t asked any specific questions about me, I know, because you are so self-satisfied being a basic human need, I will tell you a bit about myself. Is that okay with you, Miss Sex?

Sex: Oh, sorry, yeah, I am quite narcissistic that ways. Okay, let me ask you, does money buy happiness for human beings?

Money: Nah, I don’t buy people any happiness. I am just a medium of transacting human life. I know I am important because these jokers cannot live without me, but happiness is quite hard to buy with anything. By the way, like you said, money can buy sex, but again, money can’t buy love. They might say that it does, but that’s bullshit. People who think money can buy love, do not understand love, or happiness.

Sex: ha-ha! Quite philosophical you turned out to be as well. This boat ride is quite a lot of fun. You will pay for my ride as well, won’t you?

Money: Of course, I will pay for you. Anything else you want me to pay for, I will do that too. I am money, after all.

Sex: Okay, fine. I get the swagger. You can’t get me if you wanted to.

Money: Only if you were on sale, in which case, I may be able to buy your body, but may not respect myself for that. That’s the problem with money. Money can’t really buy what really matters: love, happiness, someone’s heart, meaning in life, and purpose- you know, things like that.

Sex: Yeah, the fact that you understand that makes you a deep thinker.  Not all people who have money have that level of depth. I know so many of them. People chase you, just like it is the purpose of their lives. Then, when they have a lot of money, they indulge in tons of meaningless sex, making me meaningless in the process. You know who I would like to be?

I would like to a spiritual process between two human beings who deeply love and respect each other. When they indulge in sex, it’s not superficial and meaningless. It is a meaningful, spiritual act that gives deep joy to both of them, making their lives richer.

Who do you want to be?

Money: Oh, me? I don’t know. *Takes a break and looks at the sea around*

Perhaps I would also want to be meaningful like you. What is the best use of money? I am fuel to make the world a better place. I should be used to advance missions which improve human happiness, and make everyone’s life easier, convenient and happier. We almost want the same thing. Although, you have the chance to be a spiritual experience, and me, just a transactional experience.

Sex: Oh, no, don’t think like that. Without money, sex wouldn’t exist either. Nothing would be done. People wouldn’t have the means to earn their livelihood, and raise families. What would they have sex for, just to have fun? Even if that- if they don’t have money, how would they buy those rubber things- condoms.

Money: *laughs*

Sex: *laughs*

Money: Do you think what’s common between the two of us- money and sex?

Sex: What?

Money: Both of us make the world go around. They may say that they can live without us, but they can’t. Yes, there is happiness and there is love. Those are bigger emotions which are close to the purpose of human lives, but we enable happiness, and enable love. Romantic love has no meaning without sex.

Sex: But these days there are asexual people….

Money: Oh, fuck that! Exceptions don’t change the rules. Human beings are dependent on both of us, and would crave having more and more of us. The only time they would be able to think about bigger things like happiness is when they have enough of money and sex, just as explained by Maslow. If they don’t have us in adequate quantity, they can’t get their minds off us.

Sex: That’s true. I am fascinating, am I not. Men and women dream and fascinate about me all the time. Even if they have a partner to have sex with, they would always fascinate about having me with other people, bloody jerks.

Money: Well, that’s true. Although to be satisfied and happy, there has to be an end to the search for more money and more sex. Sex is tiring anyway.

Sex: Oh, you seem to have some experience now.

Money: Oh, shut up, now, will you? I don’t intend to flaunt.

Sex: *Laughs*

Money: Smiles, awkwardly.

The boat ride is about to end, as their conversation. They get off the boat. Money pays for the ride to the boat conductor, and they move on to the island they are traveling to. Since they are both traveling alone, and Money enjoyed the company he had with Sex, he wants to take it further.

Money: So, what are your plans now?

Sex: Well, it’s evening, and I am kind of tired, so would like to go to a pub, eat and drink, and go to my hotel, and rest the night. I can’t see any of the island right now because of the dark, but have a day tomorrow to travel.

Money: Yeah, same. I am thinking the same. Well, can I buy you a drink?

Sex: *Laughs*

Money: *Smiles and laughs*

They walk together to a pub right next to the boat station.
