As a Newark Man, have you faced challenges when it comes to romance? Here’s a sign that technology may have raised another roadblock.
An online survey commissioned by Intel has found, among other things, that 46% of women would rather go without sex for two weeks than give up the Internet for that long. The numbers get bigger for certain age groups; 49% of women aged 18-34 would make that choice, and 52% of women aged 35-44.
Not that males are immune from the Call of the Web, but the numbers aren’t so high. Some 30% of all men would trade sex for the Internet for two weeks, if they had to, with 39% of men aged 18-34 willing to make that sacrifice, according to the survey. Only 23% of men aged 35-44 said they would do so.
Intel's goal was to show how essential the Internet has become to people–even during tough economic times. That’s important to Intel, since many people get online with computers that use Intel microprocessors. But they ended up demonstrating how important blogging, chatting, and surfing are to women. And that many of them think the Internet is "better than sex."

No sex for 2 weeks? My ex hated computers, yet we had no sex for years!
I'm glad you're not focusing on the bar scene. I am looking forward to reading more.
I guess the question is is it sex everyday for 2 weeks. or just sex 1 time for 2 weeks of internet. I would definitely go for the first one!
