In a study released by Intel and Harris Interactive, 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.
The study was titled “Internet Reliance in Today’s Economy” and essentially states what we all pretty much already knew, which is access to the Internet ranks highest among the discretionary spending items that we cannot live without. The Internet was followed by cable, eating out, shopping (clothes), and gym memberships.
Also included in the study, 61 percent of the women surveyed said they would rather go without TV for two weeks than go without the Internet for one week.
Intel released this statement about their survey:
“The survey revealed that 65 percent of adults feel they cannot live without Internet access, and even more — 71 percent — responded that it is important or very important to have Internet-enabled devices, such as laptops, netbooks and mobile Internet devices that can provide them with real-time updates on important issues including the state of the economy.”
This isn't surprising at all. The Internet is a strong, habit-forming activity for most people in the developed world, and the contacts and information gleaned from the Internet provide powerful internal and external rewards for most users. People develop friendships online; apply for jobs; seek housing and goods; sell their own products; conduct business; and look for dates online. Those are all powerful reinforcements for maintaining one's Internet activity at the expense of many other activities.
ReplyDeleteMost women can perform masturbation in lieu of partner sex, so sex can be theoretically dispensed with. There really is no substitute for the Internet the way there are substitutes for partner sex, so it's plain that many women would find it easy to give up sex rather than the Internet.
