50% Of Americans Would Give Up Sex For This One Thing

But would you? - by Anna McClelland
  • 18 Jun 2018

Every woman dreams of a wardrobe to rival Carrie Bradshaw’s: walk-in, with a wall of Manolos and ample space for all the designer outfits you could wish for. But we have to say we’re shocked by just how high a value some people place on their wardrobes, as revealed in a new study.

Conducted by US storage company MakeSpace, the study surveyed more than 1000 American men and women about their space requirements, Stylecaster reports.

One of the questions asked whether they would be willing to give up sex for six months in exchange for more wardrobe space – and a staggering 50 per cent said yes.
