Men and women have used every excuse in the book to get out of sex — I'm too tired, I'm not in the mood, I'm stressed, I have to get up early, etc. Well, now there's a new excuse — "I'd rather surf the Net." Yep, Intel did a survey and discovered that "46 percent of women would rather go without sex for two weeks than give up the Internet for that long." The numbers are slightly lower for guys, only 30 percent of all men would swap lady lovin' for the Internet for the same amount of time. Either these people are having some pretty bad sex, or the web addresses they're visiting are way more exciting than an earth-shattering, orgasmic love session.
These stats depress me. I love technology as much as the next person, but how can it be more important than a real-life, personal, intimate connection? Tell me ladies, would you rather give up sex or your Internet connection for two weeks?
