Trading Sex Life for Technology?

Shocking.

Of course when it comes to TV, perhaps size matters, at least according to a different survey earlier this year of Britons conducted by electronics retailer Comet. Almost half of the men polled said they would give up sex for six months in return for a 50-inch plasma TV, according to Reuters.

That compared with just over a third of women who were willing to make the same sacrifice for the big-screen television.

  2. You’re kidding me.  These TVs go for, what, two or three grand? For six months?  Talk to me with ten times that amount—in cash.  Then I might hear ya.

  3. The half that said they would give up sex were probably all married.  Think about it… they probably thought… I hardly get any sex in 6 months anyway, so I’m not giving up much.

    The unmarried men know they are giving up way too much. wink

  6. Hey, I was married for 14 years once.  All I’m going to say is that the marriage didn’t end because of that!

  7. So just sex? meaning they can still pleasure themselves? How much sacrifice are we actually talking here?
