Men Willing to Give up Sex for a 50in TV 139

Active Seti writes "The NY Times reports that nearly half of British men surveyed would give up sex for six months in return for a 50-inch plasma TV. 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. The survey also said a quarter of people would give up smoking, with roughly the same proportion willing to give up chocolate which could make buying a plasma TV a good alternative to programs for smoking cessation or weight loss. Of course the survey should be taken with a grain of salt since it was carried out for a firm selling televisions."

    Nope, if the GP truly wanted sex, he would be able to get it with much less sacrifice than giving up TV for 6 months. Just come to a local bar with a dance floor and ask to dance with every women there in turn. Be liberal but not necessarily tasteless with your selection criteria - there are some decent looking 40 year olds that should be Ok for short term. Pick one that is moderately drunk and start taking slight and then slowly increasing liberties while dancing. If you can get to some good rubbing and petting without her backing off, offer to buy drinks until she is fairly high. Then ask to escort her home, to your place if it's nearby or book a mid-range hotel room. Make sure to carry some condoms and the rest is history. Drinks and hotel room for one night should cost considerably less than a 50" TV. You looks and conversation skills don't matter that much.

    Oh, you mean you are looking for true love? Sorry, that's much tougher and likely to take longer than 6 months.
