NO SEX PLEASE...WE'RE POKER PLAYERS
So...would you give up sex for a year for that BIG win?
Romantic evenings? Forget it - 50 percent of Americans would be prepared to abstain from sex for a year in exchange for a big online poker win, reports a recent national survey. How big is "big"? $2.1 million.
Conducted by StrategyOne, an independent public opinion research firm, on behalf of Poker Stars, the scientific nationwide survey of American adults also found that men are more likely than women to exchange sex for super-sized online poker winnings, with 61 percent of adult males going on a year-long sexual furlough versus only 47 percent of women. Another 17 percent indicated that they would need to win between $1 and $50,000 in online winnings to give up sex for a full year.
When it came to the pot needed to win, size mattered to men. The average cash amount men cited they would require to live sex-free for 365 days was $2.1 million; women were willing to sleep solo for a lesser $1.9 million.
The survey also asked respondents who they would most want to ante up with in a game of online poker. Americans selected President George W. Bush as their most-preferred celebrity poker competitor, followed closely by Oprah Winfrey and Bill Clinton. Oprah was also the favorite celebrity among women and hotel heiress Paris Hilton was the celebrity of choice among Gen-Y respondents.
