The tallies are in: video games more popular than sex in UK - Image 1 


Video games are fun, and becoming more popular over time, but who knew it could actually beat sex as a past time in the bedroom? According to a new survey in the UK, people spend more time playing with video games than have sex in their bedrooms.

From a poll of 2,000, sex only ranked at 10th place. Now, while this is an interesting result, let's think about it for a minute. We have to take into account that the survey ranks according to how long people actually spend on the activity.

Taking physical exhaustion into account, people (at least, at large) just can't spend as much time having sex than playing video games because they can't. Even bunnies can't last as long as most people spend on a single go at Final Fantasy.

Some may actually find it funny that people can spend more time on the phone than they do on video games. The most popular activity, according to the survey, is (surprise,surprise,) sleeping.

Here are the rest of the results of the survey, ranked according to how many minutes per week people spend doing the activity:
  1. Sleep (3,150)
  2. Talking (193)
  3. TV (132)
  4. Net surfing (122)
  5. Reading (114)
  6. Listening to music (105)
  7. Using phone (81)
  8. Work (77)
  9. Computer games (57)
  10. Sex (35)

Perhaps the reason they're frigid is because you blokes don't know how to lay the pipe right! LOL Limeys.

I guess this confirms that when people say "UK is gay" they are telling the truth.

Makes no sense. It said games are more popular than sex in general, so how are people gay just because sex isnt as popular as gaming?

I spend the most time sleeping when i'm in the bedroom. Next most time is sex in the bedroom. I live in the US though. When I want to play video games, surf the net or watch a movie, I do it in the living room.

I guess that makes sense...It must be because girls from the UK prefer Americans seeing as how most guys from the UK (and probably some of the girls) are too ugly and they don't want to have sex with each other.

Yay, now it's time for Americans bash the British again because they have a superiority complex. :)

# Really doubt itCharlybob 2008-03-10 13:51
You do realise how Americans are viewed over here don't you?



They're the most sexually unappealing thing possible, no girl would prefer Americans over here.



This was a really badly worded title, it was just asking for these idiots to come along and try make smart comments.

haha 30 min per week on sex? I can knock that out the window in just 1 morn. Me and my gf have sex for about 2 hours per day and rarely miss a day. Blargh ii wonder if they got this info from 30 year old married couples. Or from just premature ejaculators.

# You know that list has GOT to be fake....Ginjin 2008-03-10 14:56
Because masturbation isn't ANYWHERE on it.

I'm sorry but if your not having sex then you have GOT to wanking it. I don't care WHO you are........

I've sat and played a game for 16 hours straight before... not exactly a record breaker, I know... but not a short battle either.



If I was to have sex for 16 hours straight... I think skin would start peeling.

Americans, think about this,



Britains population: 60,776,238

Britains Area (km): 242,900

Britains population density (per km): 246



Americas population: 298,212,900

Americas Area (km): 9,629,091

Americas population density (per km): 31



Now who's been busier? The arguement of "we have more people than you" is invalid because it all comes down to the density.

# Uk is GayElDiablo 2008-03-11 11:42
WOW that rhyming of UK & the word gay is amazing. It's good 2 know that u Yank's have such razor sharp wit.

Lot's of funny thing's in the UK...yeah we got fat people, ugly people, people with bad teeth etc. In fact I don't know any nation on the planet that does not. Only America has hillbilly's tho.

I'm also glad that we don't believe/teach that evolution is not the way life evolved. I myself am open 2 different theory's on this but the fact over 60% of American's believe God created the earth 6000 years ago shows the mentality of most of your population.

Also we get taught in school not shot, most Americans speak English but just not as well as us in the UK. Only in America would u change the way English word's are written just to suit the way they are spoken.



I also got taught the correct dates of world war 2 in school.

We got rid of guns when a guy shot some kid's in a school but you fight for your right to own one when they kill so many of your population. WAKE UP.



Listen I do really like a lot of u crazy yanks (& your TV shows) but u have so many pig headed, bigoted & 2D personality's in your country it brings you all down in the rest of the worlds eyes.



Lastly since u like rhyming soundbites I always think

FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM is an ironic masterpiece.
