...or so says a recent poll.
Four out of ten Britons would be prepared to give up sex if it meant they could live to be 100, according to a new poll.
Almost half of the women asked in the Bupa survey said they would take up celibacy to reach the milestone .
However, only 31% of men said they would be prepared to sacrifice nookie for a telegram from the Queen.

So, quick straw poll, which would you prefer: Long life or bedroom fun?
I can't think of anything worse than living longer AND giving up sex. Sounds like something an offender would be sentenced to. No thanks. Is there an option for loads and loads of sex but a shorter life?

Are you trying to pre-empt my wedding talk Andy?

I just need to clarify that you mean lots & lots of monogamous sex with your wife. Althoug I'd be tempted to snuff it tommorow for one night with Kate Bush - did I say that out loud.

No debate at all! Quality over quantity. I want great life with great sex. Jason's right, long life with no sex sounds like a terrible punishment for a criminal.

Well risky for me to comment, but hey thats me isn't it. Sex wins at the moment, ask me again, if I am still around at 75.

You might not live to be 100 without sex, but I bet it would seem like it...

Why are most men obsessed with Kate Bush???????
Posted by: christine | September 26, 2006 at 09:01 PM
Well, Christine, we can't all admit to fancying you for obvious reasons, so we just looked arbitrarily for another singer with long, dark hair.
Kate Bush was it.

Oh, /that/ Kate Bush. I thought you all meant the wifey down at the fish quay.
