Sex or the Internet: What if You Had to Choose?
What if you had to choose between two elements that are part of your life? According to a survey released by Intel Corporation, around half of women eighteen and older would rather go without sex for two weeks than without access to the Internet. Are they crazy or right on? Which would you miss most? Give us the scoop!
At least if I chose the Internet I could stimulate my *mind.* Oh, and there's always Internet porn, so you've got all the bases covered.
Easy as pie...I'd go without sex no problem! See, I've been separated for 14 years, divorced for 13 so celebate for 14 years. I cry when I lose my internet connection. There's a joke that floats around out there about all my friends being in my computer...well, many of mine are. I have to live with chronic pain and many people run don't walk away from you when you have to say no to lunch or other commitments. So suddenly you find your friends are those who are like you, living in pain, up at all hours of the day and night, and their friends are inside the little box on your desk. Sex or the internet. Well, since even a hug hurts like holy he!!...I'll keep my internet and let you other ladies have the sex back after the two weeks.

Give me the internet. No email, just mindless surfing at all hours. Oh wait, that's what I do now.

Sex OR the Internet for 2 weeks, huh? Sorry hun, Internet would win...IF it is only two weeks. More than that, it would get a w-h-o-l-e lot harder.:D Good thing my Hubby loves me!!

I think that if I gave up sex for two weeks, I would suddenly only have my Internet because my husband would be pretty ticked off. And as life without sex is no fun... My choice would be to live without the Internet for a couple of weeks.

As addicted as I am to my website and my blogging and networking and everything, it still rides shotgun to my marriage and all the benefits therein. It's all about balance.
I would absolutely go without internet before going without my sex life. No doubt about it.

Why must I live in this world? How about adding cheese to the equation... cheese, sex, internet... choose two.

This reminds me of the cocktail party book, "Would You Rather?"

That depends--would I be expected to check email, or could I set up an away message about a romantic getaway?
