Not tonight darling, the World Cup is on!
View(s):Women across Britain are preparing for a summer of boyfriends and husbands glued to the television as the World Cup begins.
And it seems the girls really will be getting even less attention than expected as two in five men admit they would actually turn down sex to watch the football.
According to a new study even if they do get intimate with their partners, 42 per cent of men admit they will try to ‘get it over with quickly’ in order to watch an important game.
But there’s room to compromise, as more than a third (37 per cent) say they would accept their partner’s offer of sex — if they could still have the TV on to keep an eye on the pitch-side action at the same time.
More than a quarter (27 per cent) say they think about the beautiful game while getting intimate.
As this summer’s football season reaches fever pitch, the connections between football and sex are clear: the passion, the excitement, the performance… and those who are quite obviously faking it.
However, anyone thinking of taking a tumble should beware because nearly 70 per cent of football fans agreed that those who faked it on the pitch ruined the game for everyone.
