Women gamers have more sex than non-gamers ... apparently

Women gamers have more sex than non-gamers ... apparently screenshot

Games Industry dot biz recently posted a press release from Gametart.com (the largest online games rental company in the UK) claiming that according to a study they conducted, women who play video games have more sex than women who do not. They found that female gamers have sex an average of 4.3 times a week while non-gamers have sex 3.2 times a week.

As the Internet's leader in ackowledging female gamers (and not cowering away from them in terror), Destructoid remains unsurprised by these findings. Many of our female gamer friends have often been described as "Sex Kittens", "Sex Minxes", "Sex Orangutans" and all manner of other sexually charged wildlife. We applaud Gametart for embarking on, what one can be assured must be, valid scientific study based on this hypothesis, and we eagerly await further study in the field of "joysticks + ovaries = mad secks".

I'm sure the comments below will be a haven for enlightening, thought-provoking discussion, only rivalled by the French salons of the 19th century, but before you all start posting stories of "that one girl you met at the LAN center who could tie CAT5 cables into a perfect knot with her tongue", I must ask; if female gamers are having so much sex, who are they having the sex with? Have stereotypes failed me yet again?

I'm going to my room for a good, long cry now.

@ Futuris 7 - Actually, if you have decimal sex, you end up with decimal children. Thus having sex 3.2 times per week results in 2.3 kidss.

In the words of my great grand pappy: a tisket, a tasket, a condom or a casket. Or worse, ankle biters.

And what the study didn't uncover was that all this female gamer sex is directed at one man: Fatal1ty. PWNZORED.

Here's the rub. Gamer girls can pick up nerds like it's nothing because of sheer numbers. 10 to 1 at least. And when I was dating a gamer girl, we were at it every night at least. But after a long and stupid story involving a car and me getting hit with one, it was over, and I'm looking for another of these Gamer Girls. Please send your resumes and measurements to my e-mail address and line up around the block. It's a very nice block.

Are we taking people of all ages into account here? Most gamers do fall into the <= 30 age group, and I suspect that the average 20something gamer girl has more sex than the average 80-year-old non-gamer, for example.

Also, as others have stated, it's ridiculously easy for a gamer girl to get laid. Trust me on this -- I am one. I could be monstrously fat and incredibly ugly, and desperate guys would still beg me to play with their Wiis.

Makes sense:

Gaming = Guy
Shopping/Nagging = Girl

Testosterone = Guy
Estrogen = Girl

Testosterone = SEX, I LIKE!!
Estrogen = Sex... meh.

So by solving this simultaneous equation, girl gamers would have more testosterone than usual, and thus, more sex.

So wait, confusion here. Did we factor in single women into the number of times per week? Sure, when I'm seeing someone sex that many times is kosher, but are they saying that gamer girls have sooooooooo much sex that they balance out for their single peers complete lack there of. The sheer thought of it hurts.

P.S. Horrible post to put up near Valentines Day... if your single.

Oh, Wait... They could be talking about having sex in a wide fashion, as in -self sex-.

Don't know about you, but in that case, I have sex +15 times a week :)

ps.: maybe they're just talking about real sex. I'm a sad puppie - it's been a long time since the last gamer girl I dated.

Most girls don't play console games unless they have a boyfriend who does. I think some people are confusing said girls for hardcore gamer girls, the latter of which probably have sex as often as their male counterparts (almost never).

Gamer girls are horny as hell, I had one in college, but then I had to break up with her because she was too demanding, always ordering me to give her head while she played Tetris against her friend who was in the room (because it didn't get better than that), refilling her beer, cigarette runs...oh wait...no...strike that...reverse it...*

*This is totally true, and I shoulda married that whore. Any chick willing to give you head in front of other people will do ANYTHING you want for the rest of your life and like it. I miss her... Happy Valentines Day bitches.

If it was 3.2 times per night I think I figured out how the .2 thing happens. Or at least how it would for me.

After the 3, I fall asleep while trying to be brave looking dehydration in the eyes and give it another go. OH YEah that fe..ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZz

Same might still hold true for the 3.2 times per week thing. *shrug*

I dunno about this whole thing. As a gamer girl, I probably get as much sex as my male counterparts. Because to be a real gamer you spend most of your life indoors, sitting in front of a computer/tv. This does not make for the most attractive physic. I agree with the person above who said you'd have to look at casual gaming versus hardcore gamers. Casual gamers have boyfriends that they play video games with once in a while. Complaining the whole time. They're just going to have more sex than nerds anyway.

Well let´s explain the decimals..

is just an average number from the answer of all the gaming girls divided by the number of interviewed gaming girls.

and it´s totally true... my girlfriend isn´t a hardcore gaming girl, but she love´s to play super mario world, DK country, snes games overall, and every time, except one when her dad called her and i ahd to drop her off at his house, we played snes emulated on my ps2 we had sex... and it was good... pretty damm good, there must be an aphrodisiac frequency on the amrio song that messes up with the girls sex desire. too bad she´s in istanbul, turkey right now, and i´m here.. in brazil all alone... well life sucks...
