Sex or the internet?

[walterick]

A recent survey sponsored by Intel found that 46% of women and 30% of men 18-34 would choose 2 weeks without sex over 2 weeks without the internet. The numbers went up as the respondents got older.

The same survey found 65% could not live without the internet, while tv, shopping, and the gym fell behind in priorities.

Where do you fall?

Survey says...

I suppose it depends on why....

For example, if I have the flu for a week, I probably am going to pass on sex, but the internet might help with the boredom. Of course, the puking would help with that as well....

We have cable internet, but no cable tv. However I'm pretty sure that shopping and exercise are above internet, although I (and dh) need the internet for work....if we can't work, we can't shop...it's a vicious cycle.

Sadly, for our everyday life, we need the internet. I think most people have become dependant on it as well. I can't order prints or get/respond to email without it. Dh literally can't work without it.

However, if we are specifically not working and don't have it, then we do okay.

I would go for Sex every time. When I go on holiday I don't usually have access to Internet and that's just part of the break.

Of course working in the computer industry and on messaging systems in general the Internet - and how to use it - is connected to my work. Wheras sex is much more connected to photography which is a non-work activity.

Does this survey take into account the people who use the internet FOR sex?

[Greg McCary]

Sex, I am not that old. Yet.

[A.M.D.A.]

Definitely...

[SmartWombat]

2 weeks without sex or 2 weeks without the internet

Is that the presidential definition of sex ?

I'd have to say without sex rather than without the Internet.
I would miss you all too much !

see you all in two weeks :devil:

But in all seriousness, the interweb is a pretty lousy way to spend energy. I'd have to suggest that it sucks most of my free time just because it sucks so much. I seem to remember doing more before the interweb was something to do. Now I can write off a whole morning to oblivion without even thinking about it because I spent the time doing something on the world wide interweb. That's the one with email.

And Adina, two weeks without working (or the interweb) sounds way better than the alternative to me - two weeks with working and the interweb....

Depends on who it's with ...

As it is, I'm not having sex anyway so I'll pick the internet, it is always available for me and rarely turns me down. BUT, if I get to pick a specific "who" to have sex with, I'll pick sex, because his company is WAY better than the internet!

I'm 60 and there would be no question in my mind. Have you guys seen my wife! See you in a couple of weeks.

Great pun Didache,
As for the question, I am almost 70 and still get excited about sex, especially with a new partner. I can live without the net, but not without the ladies.As long as Willie is "up" for it, then I am up for it.

I just can't believe I didn't get one comment about the video. Surely I'm not the only one here that can appreciate a fine film when they see it or does the content hit too close to home, :cryin: :cryin: :cryin: Jeff

Finally got time to take a look and laughed my buns off. Yeah some of us can identify with this guy.
