Poll Says Women Prefer New Clothes Over Sex

For most women, the choice between sex and a new wardrobe is simple � they'll go for the clothes.

In a new poll, women on average say they would be willing to give up sex for 15 months for a closet full of new clothes, with 2 percent ready to abstain from sex for three years in exchange for new duds.

The survey included about 1,000 women in 10 U.S. cities. Sixty-one percent of women polled said it would be worse to lose their favorite article of clothing than give up sex for a month.

The results also revealed the average woman between 18 and 54 years of age has hung on to her favorite article of clothing for 12 and a half years, a year longer than she's held on to her longest relationship.

And almost three-quarters of respondents, or 70 percent, also said they believed in love at first sight when it came to finding the perfect article of clothing, while only 54 percent of women were as confident in spotting the right man.

"Some people say clothes make the man, but the right clothes can even replace him", fashion designer and TV personality Carson Kressley from the reality TV show 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy' says about the poll results.
