    Women prefer internet to sex: survey

    16th December 2008, 6:15 WST

    Nearly one out of two women would rather give up sex for two weeks than go without the internet, according to a survey.

    Far fewer men would choose to go without sex, according to the survey of 2,119 adults carried out by the online research firm Harris Interactive and sponsored by Intel Corp, the world's biggest computer chip maker.

    Forty-six per cent of the women polled said they would rather go without sex for two weeks than give up access to the internet for the same period of time, according to the survey, Internet Reliance in Today's Economy.

    Only 30 per cent of men said they would rather forgo intimate relations than cyber ones.

    Ninety-five per cent of those surveyed said it is "very important, important or somewhat important" to be able to access the internet.

    Sixty-five per cent of those surveyed rated internet access above other discretionary spending items such as cable television subscriptions (39 per cent), dining out (20 per cent), shopping for clothes (18 per cent) or a health club membership (10 per cent).

    Sixty-one per cent of the women surveyed said they would rather give up watching television for two weeks than give up access to the internet for one week.

    Harris Interactive and Intel said the survey was conducted November 18-20. They did not provide a margin of error for the results.

    So which would you prefer to go without for 2 weeks? A quickie or boards?
