Sex vs clothes: Women
prefer
clothes over sex
NEW YORK Reuters — For most women, the choice
between sex and a new wardrobe is simple — they go for the
clothes.
Women on average say they
would be willing to give up sex for 15 months for a closet full of new apparel,
with 2 percent ready to abstain from sex for three years in exchange for new
duds, according to a new survey of about 1,000 women in 10
Sixty-one percent of women
polled said it would be worse to lose their favorite article of clothing than
give up sex for a month.
"Some people say clothes make
the man, but the right clothes can even replace him," fashion designer, stylist
and TV personality Carson Kressley from the reality TV show "Queer Eye for the
Straight Guy" said in a statement accompanying the poll.
The study also suggested that
clothes often wear better than relationships.
The average woman between 18
and 54 years of age has hung on to her favorite article of clothing for
12-and-a-half years, a year longer than she's held on to her longest
relationship.
Almost three-quarters of
respondents, or 70 percent, also said they believed in love at first sight when
it came to finding the perfect article of clothing, while only 54 percent of
women were as confident in spotting the right man.
Nearly half of the women, or
48 percent, taking part in the survey by consumer products giant Unilever said
their favorite article of clothing was more reliable than their man in giving
them confidence and making them feel sexy.
