----------------------------------------------------------------------- Chocolates and sex: survey shows the link ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WASHINGTON, Dec 6 (December 6, 1997 5:53 p.m.) - Five percent of Americans believe that giving a box of chocolate improves their prospects of having sex, according to an industry survey. Men are twice as likely as women to believe boxed chocolate increases their chances of getting sex -- eight percent of men versus three percent of women. Nonetheless, 68 percent of those surveyed said giving chocolates will not improve their chances. "There is a correlation" between chocolates and sex, said Chip Huggins of See's Candies, one of the companies involved in the survey. "We wanted to know how many men or women would acknowledge that fact. Some did, but there were quite a few who probably believe it, but don't admit it." The survey of 1,122 adults held last month was commissioned by boxed chocolate manufacturers and suppliers.
