What is going on with the guys in the UK??? According to a survey, 50% of the men asked would give up sex for six months for a 50” TV. Say what?!? I don’t think so. A month…maybe…but the TV better be one of these.

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.

why did you pick such a lame tv to go for?

I think anyone would give it up for a Kuro, not that LG hunk of junk.
 
Been married 13 years. I'm lucky to get it once every 6 months anyway.
 
YOU GUYS GOTTA BE KIDDING!!!! about the married part. You're freaking me out.
 
Hmm 2 months passed. I can still do the 6 months with a month left still.

For a Kuro I might consider giving up the nookie for half a year. 50/20 FIOS, and an uncapped Giganews subscription would have me covered.
 
I think those of us going without should get new TV's as consolation prizes. It's only fair.

The Eastern Europeans and Continental Europeans living in the UK are way hotter on average.

Wasn't there some article that the UK are the most satisfied sexually among other nations?

It was a lie if so. Britain is the most repressed country this side of Saudi Arabia.

Maybe the US spoiled me with my 'cute brit' accent but British girls are a bit crap tbh. Saggy arses and allergies to sport does not help.


Give me the TV.
 
They should have some reality TV show that you can WIN the TV if you're able to not have sex w/ a hot chick that keeps seducing you for a week provided that you're heterosexual male and does not have erectual disfunction.
 
What is hell no Alex?

Besides my wife would kill me if it was 6 months....even at a couple weeks she would kill me.
 
I like how 66% of women would not give up sex for the hdtv. Does that mean if they were given a 50" hdtv they'd be willing to have sex for 6 months? Hahaha.

then again....if you already are going without, that 50" TV would look mighty tempting. :D

LOL! I was about to say... What would really irk them is what they'd have to go through to verify their celibacy. :p

You'll see after a few years of marriage. After a while, your favorite couch/recliner and the remote starts to give sex a pretty good run for the money. When you start asking yourself "Do I really want to get up from this spot and exert all that energy", it's over. When you do finally "get some", anything over 15 mins. and you're just doing calisthenics.

Want sex? Stay single.

I'll take the TV and rub one out. :D
 
I already have a 42in plasma. UK men must be poor. I wouldn't give up sex for 1 week, for any 50in plasma. I'd rather give up my morals for 2 weeks and flip a bird or two. That'll make me enough to buy 4 TV's!

But seriously, anyone ever wonder why half of UK men would swap sex for ~$1500 US?

Dude, when you get married certain thing happen. One you get used to the P. Two, pregnancy ruins the P. Three, the P isn't as much fun as maybe, the ESPN highlights of your favorite football team. Four, you develop more love than lust with your partner and SEX in general isn't as important as the many other things that make up life.
 
If you sell yourself like that for a TV, you're no better than a hooker on the street.
 
um no. I make decent money and I'm sure if I wanted to, I can buy a 50 inch plasma within a couple months.
 
I think most of you guys must be doing something wrong, because in our 15th year we still have some form of sex at least 2-3 times a week. :D

We don't have kids though, so that is definitely a factor.
 
Dang... no edit. Forgot to post the on topic part... I wouldn't give up sex for more than 2 weeks for a 42" tv.

:eek: No thanks! I'll keep having sex.

Also, while I am not married yet, I don't plan to stop having sex once I am. Sure, the relationship will change, but from all the married people I know, I don't really see a desire to stop having sex.

Also, WTF is the "P"?? :confused:

Ehh I think any guy will say this after being with the person for so long and have kids ect ect... I too can do 6 months hands down now. It does get to the point where you do have to ask for it here and there ...

Are you serious? I dunno if my sarcasm meter is broke or not. But assuming you are at least in high school, my attempt to not use "racey" words should not have gone over your head.

Ah...youth

I used to think that way, too. It's just that after you've done it with the same person a gazillion times in a gazillion different ways...yawn. Think of it like opening the refrigerator for ice cream. There's a box of Neapolitan. You open the box to find someone (you) has eaten all the vanilla and chocolate leaving the strawberry. "Sigh"...well...ok...so you eat the strawberry.

HAHA that made me laugh so hard.
 
Hell, I'd do it...for a smaller screen and a few cases of beer. Gotta have something to drink while your watching the game!
 
All of Europe has less disposable income than in the US. But don't you worry, once we all get Clintoncare, no one else will be able to buy a big screen either.
