Women across the country 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.
With the footballing elite preparing to
perform on the global stage, discussions about the feigning of injuries
are sure to take centre stage along with the all too familiar, and often
quite acrobatic, dives.
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.
One in three even went as far as claiming it was worse to fake it on the pitch than in the bedroom.
Researchers found that whilst plain speaking was favoured by most, many are still likely to fake illness or injury this summer to get out of having sex.

Saying ‘I’ve got a bad back’ or ‘I’m too
tired’ made up the top three excuses, with ‘I’ve got a headache’ and
‘I’ve been working late’ completing the top five.
The poll of 2,000 men from 72 Point was
commissioned by Durex to highlight how a summer of football will affect
the nation’s love life with their #DontFakeIt campaign.
A spokesperson said: ‘There is a well-worn
stereotype of women making excuses to avoid sex but it seems that when
the football is on, the tables are turned.
‘Excitement levels for football fans across
the globe are reaching fever pitch and for some, the passion they feel
for the beautiful game is on a par with, if not greater than, that for
their partner.
‘But they need to ensure that once those 90
minutes are up, all attention is redirected solely to their loved one…
otherwise there may be penalties!
‘There will always some who are guilty of
faking it whether it’s on the football pitch or in the bedroom and we
think now is the time to stand up and declare – great sex is like great
football; it’s betting without the faking… and it looks like the public
agree!’
