Sex or a Plasma TV? British Men Split 50-50

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, it might not be a good time to bring this up, but nearly 50% of British men surveyed said they’d abstain from sex for six months if it meant they’d land a 50-inch Plasma television, Vunet reports. The poll, by retailer Comet, found only 35% of women would take a similar vow of celibacy.

"It seems that size really does matter more for men than women," the firm told Reuters. Cupid isn’t the only one in trouble. Roughly 25% of the people polled said they'd give up smoking, another 25% would ditch chocolate, and 20% would give up watching soccer in exchange for the big screen. (More Plasma TV stories.)
