One Out of Four Fans Would Give Up Sex for a Super Bowl Win According to New
AreYouRomantic.com Sports Lovers Poll

 



-Thirty Percent of Men Think They Are Better in the Sack After Their Team
Wins-


LAKEVILLE, Pa., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- One in four men surveyed in a recent
poll of sports fans would be willing to give up sex for at least a month if
their favorite team were guaranteed a Super Bowl win, according to the new
Sports Lovers poll from AreYouRomantic.com. The survey, commissioned by
Caesars Pocono Resorts, asked sports fans and those in love with sports fans,
how their number one team impacts life with their other half. From better
lovin' after a team win to postponing sex till the post-season, the poll
determined that sports can act as the ultimate "delay of game" for warm and
fuzzy couple time.
According to the Sports Lovers poll, many male sports fans would be willing to
sacrifice their ability to "score" for their team's ability to...well...score.
    --  Fifteen percent of men would give up sex for at least a whole football
        season for their team to win the Super Bowl. Of them, 11 percent would
        give it up, "for however long it takes!" (Side note: 15 NFL
        teams have never won the Super Bowl.  Woe to the partners of those
        fans!)



    --  Out of non-sports fans: a whopping 40 percent believe their partner
        would give up sex for at least a month if their team was guaranteed a
        Super Bowl win! And one in four thinks his or her partner would wait
for
        however long it takes.



    --  Nearly 30 percent of men think the sex is better after their team
wins!
        Ten percent think they have bad sex after a loss. (Hey non-sports
        fans--now you're interested, huh?)



    --  Many fans believe it's difficult to be romantic during the football
        season. One even said: "The game is turned on more often than my
        wife!"



    --  Sports un-enthusiasts have their concerns too. Some said they felt
left
        out of the fun, while one even stated: "I could be on fire in the
        room right next to him and he wouldn't notice." (Could you
        grab me a beer while you're up?)




        "Balancing the attention you give to your partner and the attention
you give to your team can be an art form," said Caesars Pocono Resorts Romance
Concierge Tracy Getz. "It's a give and take process that requires some work,
but ultimately it's a lot of fun too. Sports really can equal quality couple
time!"
       In an effort to help couples navigate the interference of the football
season, the romance experts at Caesars Pocono Resorts have put together a list
of Top Ten simple ways to keep romance alive (and still root for your favorite
team).
    --  Instant replay - The next time your partner is watching a game, hit
the
        pause button on your DVR and ask for just 15 minutes of his time. You
        can go for a walk, chat a little (or whatever else you happen to think
        of--wink, wink). It's just enough time to reconnect without having
        to miss a single play.



    --  De-Fense (clap-clap) - Go to a game with your partner. Even if you
        don't totally understand the plays (or even really like the sport),
        you can't help but be caught up in the fever of the cheering crowd.
        It's a fun chance for you and your partner to root for his team and
        bond over hotdogs and draft beer!



    --  Suit up - Buy the football jersey for your partner's favorite team
        and use your creativity (and scissors) to turn it into a cute fitted
top
        (or sexy piece of lingerie). Surprise your partner when you're
        alone by wearing it during the next game.



    --  Support the tailgate - Instead of being upset that your man is
spending
        a day with his buddies watching football, embrace it! Plan a party and
        whip up some treats. Your man will feel proud of your ability to
        schmooze with his friends (plus the snacks are great too)!



    --  NFL IQ - Learn more about his team. Show your partner your knowledge
of
        the quarterback's passing record or use football "lingo"
        when cheering during the game. He'll appreciate that you made an
        effort to be interested in his hobby (and he'll be more willing to
        become interested in one of yours).
