Valuing Your Valentine: Which Body Part of Your Lover Would You Insure?

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to insuring a spouse's or partner's body parts, Americans would go with the head or the heart.

A survey conducted on behalf of InsuranceQuotes.com by Harris Interactive indicates that cupid's arrow strays far from lips and smiles, butts, breasts, legs and other body parts that some celebrities have insured for millions of dollars. Among those in relationships, Americans say they would prefer to insure a spouse's or partner's brain (23 percent) or heart (22 percent) when asked to choose only one body part. The survey was conducted in January 2012 among 2,625 U.S. adults.

"Intelligence and emotion are two of the qualities that we look for most in our spouses and partners. The brain and the heart are very closely associated with those qualities. It makes perfect sense that Americans would want to protect the brain and heart of their Valentines," says John Egan, managing editor of InsuranceQuotes.com.

The survey asked: If you could insure only one body part of your spouse, significant other or partner, which of the following, if any, would you pick? Aside from the top two vote-getters (brain, heart), options included eyes, chest, hands, legs, teeth, lips, rear end and hair.

Among people in relationships, these are other body parts that they say they would single out to insure:

  • None -- 23 percent.
  • Eyes -- 8 percent.
  • Chest -- 3 percent.
  • Hands -- 3 percent.
  • Legs -- 3 percent.
  • Teeth -- 2 percent.
  • Lips -- 2 percent.
  • Rear end -- 2 percent.
  • Hair -- 1 percent.
