Almost Half of Women Prefer Internet to Sex, Study Finds
We've recently seen how British housewives are indicating that they spend the majority of their free time online. But, we didn't realize just what women were giving up in order to get their Facebook fix. A new study is showing that roughly half of women would rather give up sex for two weeks than go without the Internet for the same period of time.
The study was commissioned by Intel and shows that 46-percent of all women would rather give up sex for two weeks than the Internet for two weeks. When looking at the 35-to-44-year-old age group, that number increased to 52-percent. Among men, the number was much lower, 30-percent on average, and just 23-percent in the 35-to-44-year-old group. Perhaps that disparity has given rise to the great sex with robots debate.
How about you, which would you rather give up? [From: The Wall Street Journal]

Sheesh, they must be with guys who don't have a clue what they are doing between the sheets. How sad for them.
MariaDec 12th 2008 5:08PM
I concur with Pam. If they were with a man that knew what they were doing they wouldn't care about getting on facebook. It is really sad. Good sex is hard to find unfortunately.

Sad to say I would agree with this study. There are 2 real issues here. 1. bad in bed. Even if the guy was the best and made you want to call your friends to brag, you would still just lay there. 2. The net. I have seen this first hand almong the "soaps." Women want to watch or read about "drama" more then have sex. It is all about the who and what. We all need to do a study on texting too. "INTERNET AND PHONES ARE REPLACING SEX FOR WOMEN!" Funny when this happens and they want to know why the guy is cheating on them! Look at yourself first and how many hours you spend "not" with him.

I am not surprised by these findings because I am one of those women that would prefer to talk on the internet. If a man was meeting a woman's emotional needs..perhaps she wouldn't be looking for that emotional connection on the internet. The one thing most women love to do that most men don't is talk..and the internet provides a great opportunity to talk to people from all over the world. I believe it has little to do with whether a woman's partner is a good lover or not. Great sex is the product of a thriving relationship..and to most women that would include communication.

Pam,
You've hit the nail squarely on the head. You'd think these guys would learn something beyond "push in, pull out, repeat if necessary".
AdrienneDec 13th 2008 12:49PM
This article isn't set up well. The question should be: if you only have 30 minutes a few times a week to either have sex or go on the internet what would you choose? The results may be different. The internet may fill up more of their time and it can be scary to give up a habit like that because you are left with finding a new way to fill your time. Where sex is more spontanious and doesn't fill time like a hobby. And giving up sex for two weeks means that when you hook up two weeks later, it'll probably awesome so there is a reward in waiting.

Sex or internet?
what a question?

Life isn't about us it's about what God wants from us and what he wants us to do to further his kingdom!

And secondly, it fits like a glove!!!

I think this article is completely untrue. I know firsthand that it is not even a valid question. Furthermore, I think this article demeans women by making women seem unnatural if they are not completely happy with their sex life. If women would really rather have the internet over sex, I am sure it is not because they like the internet more than sex. Contrary to Aaron’s believes, I am fairly positive it has something to do with men not getting the job done or the fact that sex is the only thing many men want from women. Women don’t prefer internet over sex, they prefer great sex and great men over okay sex, which is not easy to find. P.S. In my experience, men who are great at sex don’t feel the need to say they are Aaron! Sounds like you are one of those men turning women to the internet.

I haven't had sex in a very long time, and I would take that over a night on the computer any time. My goodness, sometimes my libido makes my head wanna spin. What are people thinking?????
sharDec 13th 2008 12:05PM
This is for you, Keith. Why is it that you think at age 49, a 30 year old woman would want you in bed? I see your age range for requests is 30 -50. You only would take a woman 1 year older than you, yet 19 years younger? How about a 70 year old woman? What's wrong with that? Your body and face age too. I can't wait for real equality between the sexes. And keep in mind -- that 30 year old that hops into bed with you is thinking about your wallet, nothing else. Sex with Keith or 'sex' with the internet. Hands down, the internet. Don't even need to see a pic of you.
CrysDec 13th 2008 10:44AM
Keith, that makes me wanna eat my words. Geez, with the way some guys act, it's little wonder some women would prefer to not have sex with them. I think I might sound really harsh here, but I think I would sooner have a root canal that pick up some guy on a forum.
MandiDec 12th 2008 3:21PM
Wow, you guys must be horrible in bed if all that women do with you is surf the interest and watch tv! Perhaps the two of you should look into a course on sexual relations because it is obvious you two don't know what you are doing. Its you not women!
crysDec 12th 2008 3:21PM
Ok, correction.....
If I had a guy like Aaron, I would choose the Internet. LOL

There's a lot of things I'd rather do than have sex. Including watching paint dry.
johnDec 13th 2008 9:43AM
