Nearly Half Of Women Would Rather Go Online Than Have Sex

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

But according to the same survey of 2,119 adults carried out by research firm Harris Interactive, far fewer men would choose to go without sex.

Forty-six percent 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."

While thirty percent of men said they would rather forgo intimate relations than live without online access.

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

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

Sixty-one percent of the women surveyed also said that they would rather give up watching television for two weeks than give up access to the Internet for one week.
