Nearly Half of Women Surveyed Choose Internet Over Sex Kristy Erdodi - December 16, 2008 7:56 PM

Close to half of women surveyed said that they would choose to abandon sex for two weeks rather than give up their Internet access.

Almost half of women questioned by Harris Interactive said that they would choose to abandon sex for two weeks, over sacrificing their internet access, according to a study released Monday by Intel, which delegated the survey.

The survey results, comprised of 2,119 adult respondents surveyed last month in the U.S., make up part of Intel's broader commissioned study on Americans' reliance on the internet in today's economy.

Although nearly 46 percent of women respondents showed their willingness to give up sex life over Web access, only 30 percent of men surveyed would do the same.

The age bracket ranging from 18 to 34 years old displayed even more differences between women and men. Women in this group responded 49 percent favorably to choosing internet access over sex, and 39 percent of men respondents answered similarly.

I supervise a huge computer lab(300+ systems) on a university campus and get to observe thousands of young students each day. A lot of the young women(20-25) have three or four chat boxes open, email, shopping sites, etc., and will sit there for hours, seemingly oblivious to the world around them. Several of the female students on my IT staff have little interest in guys other than to see if they are also into technology. It's weird and I can't explain it!

I don’t know who would answer the questions. But I sure would like to have the grant money for such a goofy survey.:)

With a market like that, somebody could make a mint inventing a left-handed mouse for right-handed men.
