Give up sex or your cell phone? 1 in 3 would give up sex!

A survey done by Kelton Research for Samsung Mobile in several US cities shows that on average 30% of men and women would put their sex lives on hold for a year, rather than give up their cell phones for the same period. Overall, a greater percentage of women than men were willing to give up sex for a year than their phone.

The choice -- communication or sex -- was put to 300 people in several major cities. The results for some of these cities are below, drawn from different media reports.

In Denver 33 percent of women would put their sex lives on hold for a year to be able to use a mobile device. Only 20 percent of men would choose a cell phone over a steamy night.

In Boston, 31 percent of men and women would give up sex for a year rather than forfeit their telephones for the same amount of time, according to a study released this morning.

Only 19 percent of men said they would be celibate.
