Would You Give Up Sex If You Could Live To 100?
What would people trade in exchange for a guarantee that they'd live to 100? According to a new survey, 40% of Britons would give up sex.
But that's for men and women combined. Only 31% of men would make the sacrifice, but 48% of women would.
About 40% would also give up "eating and drinking whatever they wanted" or travel. About 75% would not sacrifice "money" (how much? we can't find how the question was worded). And 94% wouldn't give up family and friends for a long life.
Of course, people say they'd give up something to ensure a longer life ... their actual behavior may vary. People know they should eat well to add years to their lives, yet McDonald's and the corner doughnut store are still in business ...

Trading in old stereotypes, headline writers around the world were keen to point out that it is Brits who are willing to trade sex for longevity. Australians seem to be especially amused.
