Celibacy Over Soccer: England fans would give up sex for World Cup win.

According to a recent poll from UK-based milkshake brand Frijj, male England fans are so desperate to see the national team win the World Cup that 12% say they would give up sex for a year if it happened. About 10% said they'd dump their girlfriend. A third of the respondents are so keen for a first win since 1966 they would do the housework for 12 months.

Neuropsychologist David Lewis said the reason why fans would give up sex for a year is to be found in a region of the brain called the nucleus accumbens. "It floods mind and body with 'feel-good' chemicals when we anticipate something pleasurable," he said. "So you could say that fans are giving themselves an intense but perfectly legal high as they anticipate an English victory."
