What is the cost of a 50-inch plasma TV?

I mean, they're basically asking those men whether they would give up sex for six months for the cost of a TV. What if they rephrased the question: "Would you give up sex for six months for $5,000?" I wonder if their answers would be the same.

Speaking of changing the wording of the question, I also wonder whether a slightly different question would get a different response: "Would you give up sex with your wife for six months for a 50-inch plasma TV?" Undoubtedly, many men might feel they can "cheat" in a situation like that. :)

Me, I'd trade a 50' TV for 6 months of sex...

Going with Sparky_kat's idea, can we extend this so that we get an extra 50' on the TV for every half year without? I'd have to knock out a few walls in my house, sure, but it'd be worth it... :rolleyes:

For me sex is boring. (no really:angel :)

I would gladly give up sex (although I won't even ever have sex) for 6 months 4 a 50" plasma TV. TV and computers are far more awsome to me than sex. :)

Curse my naturally flirtatious nature!

The worst bit is I have quite a weakness for tiny blonde women too... :(

You are a naughty naughty kender...Those comments were as pure as the newly fallen snow:angel:, and now all I can think about is turning them into dodgy pick-up lines.

Maybe the problem lies not with the British men, but the British women?? :p

My wife read this thread over my shoulder after I pointed it out to her. Three weeks ago my mom called in complete hysterics to tell me that I was on TV! I missed the entire thing because I couldn't find any of the remotes.... It turns out neither of us had turned on the TV set in over a month! I kid you not!:laugh::laugh:

My wife is pretty happy..... :D

Having just returned from the UK, the majority of women were very attractive, I wouldn't think they are the blame.

I have a 50-inch plasma, and while its nice, I wouldn't give anything up for it. ;)

I wonder if the same men saying yes would consider it if they were asked to give up drinking beer for 6 months instead... :D

you really should replace beer with "any type of alcohol" to get a truer response. :p

i know many men that don't drink beer, but drown themselves in whiskey or similar instead.... and then a few other prefer just wine.

gotta make sure you cover all the bases :D

Heck, you'd trade a year for just the screen? Wonder how much the whole thing is worth to you? :mischief:

Considering I've never done "it," not to mention I'm abstinent by choice (not religion) and asexual, the TV would be pure profit.

Was there supposed to be an electronic bonus when I stopped getting lucky?
