Doritos says female online gamers prefer games to sex photo

In what can only be described as hilarious news, Doritos -- yes, the people who make pointy snacks -- conducted a survey to reveal that women who play online games prefer clicking mice to getting a firm one right up themselves. In other words, they like games more than sex.

2,052 ladies were polled (haha, innuendo) and 49% of them were found to be gamers. Considering 50% of males game, the difference is negligible at best. The 49% was discovered to, on the whole, prefer gaming to taking a bath, shopping, or having sex. 

84% prefer online gaming, 75% enjoy baths, 71% enjoy shopping and 70% enjoy sex. Oh, and 62% enjoy working out. This really just proves that women are as capable of being slovenly nerds as men. Equality truly has taken a step forward this day, thanks to Doritos!

To be fair I think I would prefer to play games than have sex.

All that mess. Having to do a hug or talk nice afterwards. No thanks.

To be fair Doritos has published like 3 Arcade games, so they do have some reason to be surveying about videogames.

My girl enjoys sex and videogames. In fact a Rockband session always gets her worked up!

Why would doritos even do this? They make crisps, not bath tubs or sex toys.

My unborn son works at Doritos and he will attest that his mother enjoys having sex as much as she does screaming obscenities at idiots in Left 4 Dead 2.

And by that horrible generalisation I mean that they are munters, not that they're having sex with munters...

People still have sex? I was misinformed. Unless she meant I wasn't going to be having sex anymore?

I’m calling shenanigans on this poll. The question was “which do you prefer - gaming or Late Night Taco flavored Dorito’s"?

Wow, that is the saddest statistic I've ever heard, right behind the fact that a group of young teens surveyed would give up a sense before their gadget (i.e. iPad/Phone). NOTHING is better than sex, if you think there is something better than sex, you may want to assess what is happening in your life (or get someone to assess you) and check your pulse to make sure you are still alive.

Well at least with games they tend to not disappoint as much as men do I guess. Though Duke Nukem Forever did disappoint, so it really is a manly game XD

Anyone have the spicy sweet chili doritos in the purple bag? Those are soooooo damn good. The fiery habanaro ones they had a few years ago were good too, but got too painful after a few of them.

I'd rather have video games than sex but It's unfair to add my own opinion. As I'm not a sexual person. I'm asexual aromantic and I would rather have plenty of other enjoyable activities and things over sex.

This study sounds absurd to me. Hahaha, I mean, who here actually thinks that DORITOS has scientific credibility? I could see any woman who loved Doritos enough to take a survey like this for them as being, as you say, "slovenly".

Anyway, it would depend on what game vs. who you're having sex with, obviously.

Statistically your point Jim is flawed, as there is no comparative statistic. In order for this stat to be meaningful you need to know the % among all females that enjoy sex as well, Perhaps only 65% of the female population enjoy sex and thus female gamers are among the most sexually active females. There needs to be a base statistic since what is meaningful here is the delta from the norm, not the absolute....

But you can't compare the two, so it's a pointless statistic.

Mmmm a nice bath does take a close second to gaming for me. Both at the same time, preferably.

One of these women enjoy having sex in a bath while playing videogames on a computer and shopping on amazon at the same time, and she is the one.

These women weren't being pleased right by their men in doritos study. I have been hardcore gaming since I was 5 years old (i'm 28 now) and sex always wins out over videogames. ALWAYS!

Well, most girls don't like sex very much, even today most women still have their first orgasm by giving birth. Thats a pretty sad fact...

If you consider the belief that "most female gamers are drawn to MMOs," this isn't too surprising. They don't have time for sex, they're too busy raiding dark, dank, caverns.
