Half of U.K. men would swap sex for 50-inch TV

LONDON - Nearly half of British men surveyed would give up sex for six months in return for a 50-inch plasma TV, a survey — perhaps unsurprisingly carried out for a firm selling televisions — said on Friday.


There has to be something wrong with men in the UK. Why not just step down to say a 40 in and have your sex also?

Admitting that you've illegally downloaded movies/songs and need help to process/burn is comparable to robbing a bank, and walking into the bank the next day holding the bags of money to deposit them into your account.
Don't be surprised if people laugh at you when you make the headlines.

So with that new 150" Panasonic, they would have to give up sex for 18 months then? (Wow).

I personally would not stop making love but not every one is the same!
I wonder how many Ladies would give up sex for some Prada shoes and designer outfits?

LOL! But not everyone's price is the same.

I haven't had a boyfriend for awhile (personal choice), so giving up sex for awhile longer or even forever wouldn't really bother me much.

I think the situation is a bit different for blokes regarding actually abstaining for a time, from what I've heard

The only thing that would case me to abstain is large amounts of cash seven figures and above.

Exactly, LOL ...I think blokes need to have "it" (or at least masturbate) a lot more often than us girls. I forget how many times it is exactly, but blokes think about sex a lot more often than we do

Yes, women think about sex for maybe 30seconds, once a month.
Guys consciously think about sex for .. well... 16hrs a day. Some more, some less, depends on how long they sleep for really And then it doesn't stop there.

But seriously, women don't explode if they don't have sex

Seriously, it's not a guy's fault. We were given two heads but only enough blood to fill one at a time. Still, I'd hold out for an LCD.
