Aaaaaand what about the UK study that showed 50% of men were willing to give up sex for 6 MONTHS if it meant they'd get a 50" plasma TV?

And I thought my mom was cool.
As to the question it depends. If I'm here in the states, going two weeks with out sex is a (often misserable) walk in the park. I just don't get the opertunity I used to. If I'm having a grand holiday in Ireland, well neither one of us missed the net nearly as much.
Besides that, the net is how I stay connected with Jounar.

can you be my mom????

The problem with this survey is that most people look at two weeks (the either/or period in question) as a very short-term period. Most of us do without sex for a couple weeks at a time at least occasionally, but we'd be hard pressed to do business or even conduct our personal lives with email, online banking, online purchasing, and so forth.
Flawed research always produces flawed results.
2 weeks? Try 7 months =/
and then some (Jounar is having a "once a month" kick again when it comes to how often I'm allowd to cum. *sigh*)I feel your pain.and then some (Jounar is having a "once a month" kick again when it comes to how often I'm allowd to cum. *sigh*)
I've gone a week and a half so far. I'm allowed to play and I have to tell Sir when I do, but I'm not allowed to cum.
I'm hoping he will soon, but that said I've not played for a few days either lol, stupid period.

see, my maso really shows with this. I will play and tease until I feel like I'm going to explode, then stop so I don't break the rules, knowing that he'll have no sympathy for me. I just enjoy being on edge.![]()

Insane. There's not a TV in the world worth 6 months with no sex.
And I am assuming the internet use in the study is casual/entertainment use of the internet. I chose "sex > internet" because I like sex more, but if it were a real life, forced to do it, 24/7 ban on the internet, or sex, for two weeks, I'd have to choose the internet as I quite literally cannot do my job without an internet connection. No job means no food, no bills paid, etc. Food is actually more important than sex if only because no food means no living. No living means sex.
And, since this was the actual question: no Internet use of any kind versus no sex of any kind for a limited period, it's easy to see why folks chose to give up sex. The Internet is simply too closely wound into the fabric of our daily lives to be relinquished without a great deal of pain.
I still can't believe 50% of men surveyed say they'd give up sex for 6 months for a frikken TV.
Your own experience may make it hard for you to imagine the frequency with which such long dry periods occur in ordinary marriages and relationships. Even if the usual dry spell for a guy was only two or three months, who among us wouldn't at least claim to be willing to put up with a little more deprivation than usual for a television set that might cost a couple months of earnings?
*blink* Nope, can't conceive of it. Then again, I can't conceive of allowing such a dry spell, nor of wanting a TV of any size that badly. I don't watch TV.
And, as an aside, I've never had a dry spell even remotely that long even in my previous normal relationships. I'm not one to need sex constantly, but that is excessive beyond any reasonable definition of the word IMO.
My point exactly. Most people put up with dry spells of a few weeks at a time at least occasionally and some, for their own reasons, put up with longer periods. I'm quite sure that it's such experiences that make the survey results entirely unremarkable.
Now, had the question been: give up sex entirely or give up the Internet entirely, then the responses would have been much more interesting.
I guess. I just don't value TV that highly. I don't really value it at all, seeing it as sort of tolerable evil mostly.
Yeah, my head would explode. Er, both of them would. I think I would have to give up the internet. I could find another job.
