If you love rampant sex, then you might not want to visit Canada during the launch of a big game. A recent survey has concluded that more women than men would choose interactive entertainment over good old fashioned intercourse, with 29% of Canadian females claiming they would give up sex for a month instead of videogames.
By contrast, only 19% of men did the same, proving there are more stereotypical sex-driven males than stereotypical game-obsessed males.
When asked how many hours in a row respondents' have spent playing video games, 57 per cent of women claim to have played between 1 and 3 hours of video games, while 21 per cent of men confess to gaming for over 15 consecutive hours. It is no wonder women would rather give up sex over video games - with this many hours logged, they're left with no choice!
What about you? Would you rather spend a month collecting golden rings, or penetrating brown ones? What kind of warp pipes do you prefer to sink into, and would you rather your hands around a DualShock or a ...
Right, I'll stop.

Of course it's all with the same girl and it's always amazing... I'm no slut.
Either that or you've never seen a vagina (obligatory anti-sex joke).
Why did you stop, Jim? Those lolz were about to become a lolercoaster.
As for me, I'd give up sex for two months if someone would make another epic storytelling RPG like my beloved Planescape: Torment. Otherwise, no longer then three days.
AHAHAHAHAAAA!!! What a failure! Believe it or not, women actually have lives that are not obsessed with throbbing cocks and like other shit too. Something like this can say only a man who never had a girlfriend and probably believes that sex exists only on teh interwebz, lol.

Obviously they only interviewed Duffy for this survey.
ya it's true. You can't really tell but that's a picture of me and I dyed my hair blonde =P
I totally give up sex for video game launches...I'm surprised Liz has actually stuck with me for this long because of my second girlfriend (videogames!)
but I don't want to and don't have to and I won't.
Bear with me on this:
It's an enormous country with a fraction the population of the US. Particularly out West/North, there are a lot of tiny towns with small populations. Sometimes these towns are separated from the neighboring town by a several hour drive. In Canada, Videogames may represent more of an escape than in the US for many female gamers. Particularly with MMO's, it's a way to reach out and make contact with more than the same ~5000 people that you see day in, day out. The folks on the internet don't know you, aren't in your business and aren't going to start gossiping to your neighbors about what you're up to the moment your back is sturned.
...cause you know were naked, having sex and dancing, drift been caught?
Lol, never done that.....
Worth noting that women have vibrators so giving up sex for a month is probably not that big of a deal.
Case Solved.
But a generous helping of both is preferrable.
