Americans are trading in sex lives for the Internet
Categories: Reviews & Products, Motivation
Technology has added so much to our society, but it's also taken away a lot -- including our friends and our sex lives. According to new studies, Internet is taking away from many offline activities like socializing and sex, with as many as one in three people saying that they give up time with friends and spouses in order to spend it on the Internet.
What's more, people can't seem to live without the Internet. Only 7% said they could go a week without Internet access, and 48% of people say they feel as if something important is missing if they have to go without Email or the web.
While I don't think I sacrifice time with my friends and family for the Internet, I have serious trouble going without it for a few days. But then again, it's the sort of the basis of my career. How important is the Internet for you?

Yes...trade it in trade it in. The internet won't give you AIDS, or unwanted pregnancies. No one to nag you, spend your money, then try to get alimony once you've gotten sick of them nagging you and spending your money. The internet is the best thing to come along since sex.

To Linda - Freakin' A! I'm 52, and I agree! That's why older women rule in the bedroom.

I work online, so yeah, the net does take away from time from socializing and hanging out with friends. I have deadlines, and sometimes sacrificing party time is required. However, the net doesn't take away from my sex life half as much as having kids at home does. You can shut the laptop a lot easier that you can convince the grandparents to watch the little ones so you can have alone time with your spouse.
