No sex please we're fundraising.
Fucking Amatures.
As charity challenges go, they don't come much tougher than this ... being sponsored large sums of money if they can avoid temptation until December.
Tough my ass. That's not even a full year.
“We are both single chaps and a lot of people consider it almost impossible for us to do this, but we are going to give it a good go.”
Oh boy ... well at least your ego is getting stroked. Almost impossible. Pah! I hope you die.
Twats.

Perhaps it really is more of a challenge to those actually getting some. ;)

Even so, on an absolute not a relative basis, it’s not like this is actually all that hard.
It’s not like they needed to train for this.
Now if they weren’t aloud porn or masturbation it may be a challenge.
As charity fund raising things go, this is a wankiest, egotistical pile of crap. I was waiting for one of them to call themselves “Studmuffin”
What’s next, Croydon girls raising money by not getting pregnant? (apologies to girls from Croydon, but this was where I started off living in the UK, and have never seen so many pregnant teenagers in my life. I concluded that Croydon was a very fertile area)

Imagine being little Harry Toop and at the age of five, being told that two men are not going to have sex until December so they can raise money for his treatments…mass confusion ensues. Poor kid.

As one who works for a charity, I don’t care what publicity the fundraisers get for themselves as long as we get the sorely needed cash.
If being egotistical twats and getting your story in the media means the charity gets more money, as it undoubtedly will, then please can you hold off your wishes of death to them until they’ve collected the funds because the charity would probably appreciate it.

I disagree.
There are better and more effective ways of making money for charity.
This diminishes the work that other people do for charity and doesn’t encourage people do put time and effort into good causes.
However people doing slightly more inspirational things (and I’m talking someone running a 5K for charity when they are a lousy runner) encourages other people to do this same.
These two chaps didn’t sit down and see how they could raise the most money for a charity. They got drunk and thought it would be funny.
Whilst it does help the kid, there are things that could help the kid more.
I’d rather give my money to someone who is raising money for charity because they are giving something of themselves than to someone who is on an ego massaging expedition and the charity is by the by.
Anyway the post wasn’t really meant to be a hefty debate on charity, just a comment on how giving up sex is not really the “impossible challenge of super toughness” they are implying.
I’d be more impressed with someone being paid to have sex for charity.

I’m with you on this. Ok, so they got a bit of press for their charity, but it is a bit pathetic. For starters, how is it going to be audited??

It doesn’t matter if they sat down to think about how much pubicity they could raise for themselves rather than how much money they could raise for charity, they will still raise more than the average sposored 5k runner, simply because the size of their egos and the twatty stunt they’re pulling has got them all this attention. Of course ideally everyone would be doing inspirational things like running marthons and being discreet and self effacing about it but really, the charities that benefit are the very last people to care if they’re twats.

What the article doesn’t tell you is that they’re both heterosexual catholic priests and being celibate is part of the job.
Incidentally, I’m raising money for a local charity too by attempting to carry on breathing for the rest of the year. If you’re interested in donating, send me ÂŁ50 in non-sequential and unmarked ÂŁ10 notes.
