46% Percent of Women Say They Would Give Up Sex for the Internet

46% of women and 30% of men would give up sex for two weeks instead of giving up access to the Internet for the same period.

That's slightly different than the implied, "Sex; Interwebs; choose one!"

A more interesting question would have been, "Given the choice between giving up sex or the Internet in perpetuity, outside of sex engaged in strictly for procreation, which would you choose?"

How about, "Given the choice between only having sex for procreation, or only using the Internet for productive activities, which would you choose?"

Damn, I could get the whole Internet if I could just pick "have sex for procreation" but procreating would almost certainly be worse than losing the "fun" Internet.

You've created the impossible question.

i'd give up internet for sex ... for an hour

Heh, yeah...log off just long enough to have sex, then go back on the internet. As opposed to surfing while you're having sex.
