2.03: Sex v. Charity

On the Friday after my charity question, there had been officially no responses, so I was busy thinking up a clever way of mocking you all for having a one-track mind. I can't do that anymore, but I can use the question that I came up with, because it's a good one. So here's my sex v. changing the world question:

A genie/angel/Tom Cruise comes to you in the middle of the night and hands you a box, with two buttons on it. They tell you that each day, you can press one of the buttons. If you hit the first button, you will have one of your wildest sexual fantasies fulfilled by the person of your choice that day. If you hit the second button, one random person somewhere around the world will be miraculously cured of a disease- you'll never find out who or get to meet them, but they will be cured. Which button do you press? Do you press the same one every day, or do you allow yourself a treat now and then? How would you justify either choice?
