Study: third of men would prefer to play video games rather than sex - Image 1 


Are you a guy who prefers to play a video game rather than have sex with your girlfriend? Well you are not alone. 32% of men prefer the same thing, or at least that's what this new study suggests. The study, made by UK PlayStation 3 site PS3PriceCompare, questioned 1,130 men in relationships.

Of those who took part in the study, 32% answered yes to the first question which went "Which would you prefer; sex with your partner or an evening playing video games?" A solid 72% answered yes to the second question, which goes "Which would you prefer; sex with your partner or an evening playing a new video game?"

Remember, these are men who are already in relationships, so sex isn't in short supply. Would have wanted to ask another question though. "Would you prefer sex in video games than in real life?" I dread how many will say yes though.

» If 72% said yes to videogames over sex...

Then that would be 2 thirds, and not a third like the title says ;)

I'm confused. Either its way too early in the morning for me or that doesn't make sense.



72% of men in relationships must be having some really really bad sex

» WTF!?!?!?!?!

Even then that would be closer to three quarters then two thirds.



Also, the first question and second question are identical!!! WTF is this BS?



This entire article is a fat bowl of fail. Not to mention a down right lie.

That is quite badly worded. They aren't even yes/no questions.

» For commenters

Reading sources always helps with confusion.



For QJ umm were u half asleep doing this lol.



The second question is not identical as QJ makes it look.

Its actually.

And an even larger proportion - 72% of those questioned - said they would forgo sleeping with their other halves for the chance to play a brand new game.

» uhhh

this is complete bullsh*t, ofcourse thats not true. That or they probably surveyed virgins, hahahha.

» well when i commented

they added new video games in bold. So fixed. Unless they bolded new video games to make it seem like it was always there and to make it seem like it wasn't a mistake to begin with. Since I had two of this page opened for some odd reason. -.- Tricky QJ up with ur dirty tricks

» Actually

Yes, I was half asleep. I was dreaming of a new video game.



Well, I'm in trouble when I get home then. No sex for me.

by sickofitall - 2009-04-02 07:32
» could be true

when you have been with someone for a long time, some of the excitement goes away, unlike with a new video game maybe.

by Volomon - 2009-04-02 07:32
» Actually

Well actually if you think about it, people in their 20s have sex around 100-300 times a year. Missing one day isn't that big of a deal. Hell I would. ***** if Modern Warfare 2 came out tomorrow, it would cross my mind. Though it depends on if she starts out with her mouth. I'm a sucker for BJs.

by auronvi - 2009-04-02 07:33
» ^^ prolly a virgin.

I would totally rather play a new video game than sex with my gf.



It would have to be a new game tho. I might just be oversexed though... hehe

Video games don't talk back.

» Read it...

They're all in a relationship. I got dumped twice for not going to dates and staying home to play games with dudes. You'll all understand that f****** doesn't let you escape reality but rather live it. It's probably because I'm one of those guys that hide the nerd inside and only show a fake face to every chick that I think this way.

and don't ask u to be faithful and not play with another videogame xD

» hm..

Well I prefer the sex but my lady don't make me choose anyways.

» if you REALLY prefer a game

To smacking that A** and pulling hair, son turn in your system. what the game is for is when she WON'T or can't.

by roddollente - 2009-04-02 18:00
» funny thing

first of all, the questions aren't yes-or-no questions. so how can 32 or 72 per cent of men answer 'yes'?



it's like asking, "which do you prefer, apples or oranges?" and answering, "yes."



if not for the title and the first paragraph, i won't get it. seriously.

by Justingraziano - 2009-04-02 23:40

LOL, seriously? If someone (hot) said "you wanna have sex" I would drop that controller faster than a prom night dumpster baby would start crying.

» It's

in a relationship, not a random person lol.. I'm assuming they mean their partner. Sex gets boring after a while I suppose, I know I chose staying at home to raid or beat Dead Rising over my ex when we were dating haha I just made up an excuse.. I'm pathetic I know. :(

by DigiTalDeaD - 2009-04-03 16:21
» Meh..

Sex never gets boring when you throw in different positions + locations ;) you need to bump up your skills m' boy.

» it does when u get enough

as anything u do in a regular basis it DOES get boring, i cant live without sex but neither can i without playing, i agree its stupid to "choose" one when u need BOTH its like asking what do you prefer breathing or eating... duuuuh

» I prefer the horde over the whore

FYI I am married with 2 kids... I take my 360 for any cold nights. At least it gave me the ring once not like I had to buy one for my wife *LOL*

by muramasa655 - 2009-04-05 06:51
» Right on.

@papajag



Right on man. I hit girls now again with the fake face just to make sure I can... But then I'm sad, i'd rather be with my friends playing video games.

» You do realize

This only counts for 72% of the people on the site?

by b2dub2 - 2009-04-09 03:51
» All I know

is that I've been with my girl for 3 years, we have a 1 year old son, and we have sex (or you know, that uh, other thing) at least 5- 6 times a week. AT LEAST. Sometimes 10-15+. (rare) And to this day I would WAY rather get some ***** from my hot ass fiancee, than do just about ANYTHING else, definately beats out video games. Dont know how those guys choose games over sex. Although I do admit the prospect of a new cool game IS kinda enticing....... What I wouldnt give for GOW3!!!!! But I wouldnt give my precious sexy time, i tell ya that fa sho.
