Germans prefer money to sex, a new survey for Playboy magazine shows.
Asked whether next year they would prefer more money, more regular sex or extra free time, 62 percent of the 1,000 Germans polled opted for cash, compared with just six percent choosing sex. Twenty-six percent plumped for free time.
The full survey results will be published Wednesday in the German edition of Playboy for January.

There are plenty of legal ways of using either one to obtain the other...so what's the difference? ;)

Well, what are the taxation levels in Germany? I'd say one could understand them easily...

There is a German version of Playboy? How can I ask this question without offending? Do German women use razors?

I'd take the free time.
Funny thing about sex--show me a hot chick, and I'll show you some guy tired of having sex with her.
Free time, though? That never gets old.

Maybe 62 percent of them feel they get enough sex and have enough time. They didn't suggest that they wanted no sex or time, just more money.

Well, what are the taxation levels in Germany? I'd say one could understand them easily... Wouldn't it be interesting to re-phrase the question: "What would you like -- lower taxes, more sex, or more free time?"
It's really the same question, but I bet the numbes out of Germany would not be identical. 'Cause people are funny, and socialists are reeeeeaaal funny.

Indeed, very German.
The French would all say "more money", as the other alternative is available in surfeit.

Free time, though? That never gets old.
I beg to differ, FRiend. I left my job last month, and my new job doesn't start for another couple of weeks. All the free time was great at first, but now it's really getting old. I've come to realize that free time is like any other commodity; the more you have, the less you value it. That being said, I know in a few months, after I've been working hard week after week, I'll be wishing I was in the spot I'm in right now....
To: k2blader
I'm with you. And I want to be a better friend to Jesus Christ who loved me enough to die for me. Neither money nor sex can make me that.

Yeah, but it makes it look like you wouldn't discriminate between Helen and Anna. And what's up with spelling it "fourty"?
To: ClearCase_guy
Typical socialist mindset to inquire from the perspective of anticipating the lowest expectations. Settleing for just one of these three lofty dreams. (LOL LOL)
All three are totally realistic, if you really want all three. ....in America.
jmh 2 cents...
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
Hmm...I want more of all three: sex, money, free time.
Maybe I really want to be a Democrat! How else can you justify not working, getting more money and sleeping around?
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
Money, I've been married so long that I no longer remember the mechanics of the other choice.

Could be. You always have to have something to keep yourself entertained, whether it's playing golf, putting around on the computer, or building rube goldberg contraptions in your basement.
but you make a fair point.

Germans prefer money to sex, a new survey for Playboy magazine shows.
This statement could be highly misleading, I think. Saying that they'd choose more money over more sex could just mean that they're already getting plenty of sex now. I mean, when you only work 30-35 hours a week, it's reasonable to assume that you're spending at least some of that time doing the horizontal mambo, if only out of sheer boredom.

To: Publius Valerius
Actually, the main thing is, while I have all this free time, my friends don't. So all my quality time is still on the weekends, but spending most week days by myself is getting boring. I've been playing a lot of golf at my uncle's course alone, but it's not as fun without friends.

You sound like a fellow I work with who frequently says "It's been so long, I've forgotten what arm it's under."

And what's up with spelling it "fourty"?
It's an older way to spell "Forty". I used to be able to prove that when I first signed on here, but the only online dictionary that has the spelling now is a subscription service. Oh well again.
To: Welsh Rabbit
I'm married - I don't even remember what sex and money are anymore?
