    Would You Rather Be Skinny or Have Sex?

    A new study finds women would rather give up sex than gain 10 pounds!

    -Faye Brennan, BettyConfidential.com

    We all want to be skinny, and we all want to have good sex. But, if you had to pick one over the other, which would you choose?

    Nutrisystem posed this question to a group of American men and women and came up with some surprising results. For women, weight loss trumps sex.

    According to the study, 52 percent of women and 25 percent of men would rather give up sex for a whole summer than gain 10 pounds. (Somehow, it doesn't surprise us that 75 percent of men chose the opposite).

    Nutrisystem's Chairman and CEO, Joe Redling, says the study illustrates our obsession with being skinny. "The fact of the matter is, America is obsessed with dieting and weight loss, but the majority of Americans aren't eating healthier or getting thinner.

    It's true that you usually have to work harder to shed pounds than to find someone to share a bed with, but this is some sad news for sex, ladies. We wonder if the study participants took into account the fact that sex is a form of exercise -- so you could technically use it as a weight loss tool! (Fox News)

    Tell us: what would you choose: no sex for one whole summer or gain 10 pounds?

      Sex, hands down. Hubby's in USAF, and the two and a half months of basic training nearly killed me; I dunno what I'm going to do when he deploys next summer.

      I would like to also say,with some of the ignorant comments on here from some of the men;i can somewhat understand why women would choose skinny. If they have run accross some of these men who obviousley have issues and wouldnt know how to conect if you drew them a freekin map! Saying things like b_tches and if we cant f_ck whats the point! Cmon,lets act like we have had some upbringing guys! Dont lie,with an attitude like that! You havnt so-called been f_cked in a long time bcause you are a moron! lol

      Well noone wants or likes to be fat. But being happy,i beleive is the key to leading a healthy lifestyle. Good sex and feeling connected to someone is healthy and lets face it fun! GOOD SEX! :-)

    • LALA  •  1 year 3 months ago
      SEX #1 choice. It can produce way more energy then working out for me.
    • anne  •  1 year 3 months ago
      No, it's easier to lose weight than to find GOOD sex. Who did you ask this question? The whole point of being thin is to have sex. If you are having good sex anyway, who cares? Order a pizza.
    • Caillou  •  1 year 3 months ago
      What kind of question is this????? It all depends where the 10 pounds settles! Is it going straight to my T and A? Cause that could up the frequency of sex in itself. I am going to say SEX in that case. Wait, scratch that... in every case! :)

      I have great sex now, but I rather be skinny!!!
    • Delena  •  1 year 3 months ago
      I am slim and I prefer sex! Oh yeah, sex often can burn calories!
    • Ana  •  1 year 3 months ago
      skinny all the way!
    • Kagome  •  1 year 3 months ago
      ok it seems like most of the people here are already skinny!
      Like for example, this one comment of a girl saying she only gained 5-6 pounds and figure she'll take the skinny over the sex-and she only weights 115!
      I mean come on!!!! Has the media really brainwashed us that bad? I guess so....
      The only reason why I would pick skinny over great sex is for health reasons on my part. I weight nearly 265 pounds and been struggling for years to get it off. The weight I'm at now, is slowly killing me. No amount of passionate sex makes me lose enough to be beneficial. Besides, I have a partner who loves me inside and out. Even if I'm a plus size or thinner. It doesn't matter.
      So yea, picking skinny over sex for three months. Sure!
      It just shocked me that someone who is already so tiny would want to lose an extra 10 pounds!!!! If I was even at 160 I would be happy and that not even skinny! It's a health average weight for both my height and body structure. Which I think girls and young women need to realize and work towards.

      I would have to say sex. No matter what you look like. When a man and a women are making love it is about the need of wanting each other. It is the touch, the urge and the wanting to just love each other for the moment that they are in and to have the wonderful pleasure of each other.... I wish for everyone to make love................................................................It is a wonderful act of love when two people really care for each other.
