Almost half of women prefer Internet to sex

Unsexy survey results
Friday, 12 December 2008, 16:13

WHEN IT COMES TO getting through the tough times, there's nothing like a bit of good old fashioned lovin', except of course if you're amongst the nearly half of all women who reportedly said they'd prefer a good wibble around on the Internet instead.

So says an Intel survey of some 2,000 obviously sad and bitter female respondents anyway.

The survey, conveniently carried out online and probably taking longer to complete than the average bunk-up, found that 46 per cent of women would rather go without sex for two weeks than give up the joys of the Internet for that long.

Broken down by age group, men get an even harder deal as they and their partners get older, with 49% of women aged 18-34 preferring the Internet to sex and 52 per cent of women aged 35-44 admitting to preferring .orgs to er... (ok, that's enough, this is a family friendly website. ed).

Surprisingly, a full 30 per cent of men also admitted they'd rather lose two weeks of sex than losing their, er, connection, with 39 per cent of men aged 18-34 willing to take up temporary celibacy compared to only 23 per cent of men aged 35-44. µ

This research, combined with Durex's recent revelation that sales of condoms have rocketed in the wake of the credit crunch, suggests people are desperate not to soil their keyboards.

I blame it on the porn and the bad internet hyperfast food diet.

My wife prefers washing the dishes to sex

Its no surprise that half of all women don't care about sex. But look on the bright side, they probably won't cheat either. The horny ones usually do cheat, so there is a silver lining!

Some analysis here

Most men would PREFER to have two weeks of good ol' lovin' than two weeks of internet, but since the women in their lives won't give them that much joy they realise it's better to have two weeks of internet/pr0n than 12 out of 14 days of staring at the ceiling.

Additionally a survey of 2000 women is really not enough to give proper estimates, especially when it does not survey women offline.

Amusingly, women are suppose to reach their sexual prime 'round 30 - 35...naturally those women surveyed haven't, for some odd biological reason, the would rather stay at home & blog...additionally blogging is cheaper than going out, chatting on the phone etc...and guess what? people that sit all day & chat, especially women (which have a higher tendency than men to store calories...) are inactive people...inactive people are less horny, fact.

Let's not forget the fact that most "hotsxy28F" in a chat room is either a guy or a bored, obese & fugly female.

So here is my 2 pence...

Drink less (if at all, alcohol) start moving your coach potato ass & get humping.

Mr.

Are they asking about the next two weeks, or the last two week period in which you were able to score at least once? If it's the former then WOOOT the internets!

HAHA, I enjoy the humor of The Enquirer writers and I had to crack up about some comments. Obviously the 50% women that said internet over sex have guys that don't know what the heck they are doing lol
