Almost Half of Women Prefer Internet to Sex, Study Finds

I'd never give up sex with my husband for the internet!!! My exes, yes, but not this one! He helps around the house (a LOT) and talks to me all the time and listens to me when I talk to him. Our time together is special and I wouldn't give up our weekends together for anything! He works all week and on the weekends, we hang out with each other and do whatever we want! These men who are surprized that women prefer the internet should learn how to do it correctly--if she's just laying there counting the dots on the ceiling, then dude, you suck in the sack.

I like reading posts on the spanking groups that yahoo has.

Maybe they should have asked would women rather give up a "divine"f*ck, you know hot filthy dirty toe curling SATISFYING sex or the internet? No woman would ever give up that kind of sex IF she were fortunate to have someone in her life that was able to bring it on!!!!!!! Sex and the internet are two very different sources of stimulation/satisfaction for us women. I "do" the internet a lot more frequently than I "do" hot nasty fun sex. BUT to be honest,for me if the sex is not going to be really hot nasty and animalistic then I do not want to play at it.Why bother if it is just mediocre? I don't think I am the only female who feels that way either? And I do not think it is the man's job to do all of the work.It is all about fantasies,role playing,stimulus, and fun in bed.

“Mon” -You have it so right in every way. You said -"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." –I agree with that totally. I’ve been married 25 years (Im 42 -he's 43) and I feel like my sex life suffers. When not working or sleeping, he's either too tired or doesnt feel good or busy doing this or that (watching tv -sports, outdoor shows, or going hunting, fishing, etc.) He's happy the way things are -with a quickie now and then -but that just makes me more and more angry and feeling like I'm being used. I’ve told him over and over but it makes no difference. We’re not that close anymore in our relationship, either. We don’t talk, share intimacy, etc. He seems to be happy the way things are and just doesnt get that I’m not. But after 25 years its not going to happen. I’ve given up trying and just accepted it. THAT is why I spend time on the internet. I don’t go to chat rooms or things like that. I just read stuff. It takes your mind off not having a satisfying relationship. If I could have even SEMI-good sex once a week (maybe twice!) or even a close relationship, I would definitely give up the internet for THAT!

Re: the comments about "she must be having bad sex." FYI, all you guys who think you are great lovers, you know who you are, we still get bored with YOU after awhile. And with women, it has little to do with how good a guy is and very much to do with how she sees you in her imagination. Once reality intervenes, your greatness in bed is still not as good as a vibrator (pure imagination). HTH :)

I think it has more to do with the need for an intellectual/communication fix rather than lack of sex drive, women need to feel emotionally and mentally connected ... online time with friends seems to make up for a lack of mental/emotional stimulation which for most women is integral to good sex...most people I assume would rather have the internet for two weeks than 5 minutes of bad sex.

I'd prefer to give up the internet, but it is hard to give up something that you do for 3 hours everyday day versus something most people do for 1 hour every other day for 3 weeks out of every four.

If the choice had been between "great sex" and the internet, the study results would be surprising. I think anyone, male or female, would rather have "great sex" than surf the net. But women have to settle for what we're most likely to experience - less than "great". I'm surprised that only half of the women voted to keep their internet connection. I would have expected more. If you can't have fun physically, why not at least satisfy your cravings for social contact, conversation and knowledge? Really guys, "great sex" isn't so tough, why don't you just ask what we'd like? If your woman is too embarassed to tell you or doesn't know for sure, buy a book and find out for yourself! And ladies, if you'd like better sex, please stop faking orgasms. Too many guys out there think they know what they're doing because we're been faking it for so long.

I won to women sex nolage
