Nearly half of British men surveyed would give up sex for six months in return for a 50-inch plasma TV, says a survey — perhaps unsurprisingly carried out for a firm selling televisions…
The firm found 47 percent of men would give up sex for half a year, compared to just over a third of women.
“It seems that size really does matter more for men than women,” the firm said.
Probably the same here in the States. Except it would have to be a 60″ plasma TV.

If they gave up 6 months of beer – they could buy the TV set.
Does that exclude having sex solo? I’m in!
Considering most British women, seems like a win-win. 😉
Give up sex or give up sex with their wives? Big difference ….
Thats a trick question by the way for British men. You can’t give up what you don’t have.
In Britain the quickest way to celibacy is to get married. 😉
Off topic…
That’s a great photo! Any higher res versions available?

Oh, and know you know why there are so many ex-pat British men in Shanghai.
Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean…know what I mean…wicked aye?
😉

#7: You forgot the punchline:
“What’s it like?”
Apparently that’s why the British population is declining.

LOL Just waiting for someone else to fill it in. Didn’t have to wait long I see. Thanks! 🙂

“Apparently that’s why the British population is declining.”
Actually, it’s the British Empire that has declined. Next, the American one.
I’m willing to bet that 90 per cent of married U.S. men would do the same.It is easy to give up what you get only occasionally and at great cost.
The poll is a false dichotomy.
No doubt those men see the 50 inch high def TV as a way to get higher def sex.
does that mean I can have one now?
I bet 90% of the married women in the U.K. would buy their husbands a 50-inch TV if they’d stop begging for sex.
This sounds like a profitable time to sell TVs in the U.K. if you have the right sales pitch 😉
The price of a good 50″ TV $3500. Let’s divide this out as a mean of sex three times a week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so that is 156 times (averages in UK).
So, instead of having sex which forges emotional bonding, reduces stress and feels really good, you get to sit in front of the idiot box and get paid an average of $22.44 for the role in self induced celibacy.
Hell no!
I gave up cigarettes and used the money I saved to buy the TV!!
And I got more because I didn’t smoke…
a total win win win win!
did they ask of those that had a 50″ set would they give up the “telly” for more sex???
#15 – learn how to shop, first. You’re ready to pay entirely too much for the TV.
I know the Brits are notoriously kinky and all, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out the upside in giving up sex in exchange for a 4 foot 2 inch-tall transvestite… ???
Watching porn on a 50″ TV probably has it’s merits. More research needed to give a definite opinion…
Check out the display technology.
No loss to any women if they stop having sex…
