Not Tonight Dear, I’d Rather Blog
An online survey commissioned by Intel has found, among other things, that 46% of women would rather go without sex for two weeks than give up the Internet for that long. The numbers get bigger for certain age groups; 49% of women aged 18-34 would make that choice, and 52% of women aged 35-44.
Not that males are immune from the siren call of the Web, but the numbers aren’t so dramatic. Some 30% of all men would swap sex for the Internet for two weeks, if they had to, with 39% of men aged 18-34 willing to make that sacrifice, according to the survey. Only 23% of men aged 35-44 said they would do so.
Intel, it should be noted, did not set out to prove a point about modern sexual behavior. And some people might try to poke holes at these findings; for one thing, respondents of online surveys are typically drawn from panels of people who sign up for them, which could make them imperfect proxies for all Internet users. (In this case, Harris Interactive conducted the survey for Intel, putting the questions to 2,119 adults last month).
The company’s goal, not surprisingly, was to show how essential the Internet has become to people–even during tough economic times. That’s important to Intel, since many people get online with computers that use Intel microprocessors.

Simple, Pagans don’t see homo sex as a sin.

Focus, m’hijoto, focus. We were talking about heterosexual sex. You claimed that heterosexual sex for any purpose other than procreation was a sin in the eyes of “the church”.
If you’re willing to admit that you were mistaken, we can move on to the homo stuff, as there are churches that accept the ass bandits and the carpet munchers too.
Unlike Kuzconia and its Catholic guilt-ridden, self-loathing culture, there are many religions that do not take such a draconian approach to pleasures of the flesh.
I’m an internet addict, so being forced from the internet for 2 weeks would be good for me.
