talkpoliticsCanadian baby boomers prefer television over sex: poll
Oz hotel guests prefer TV to having sex with partner
1 in 5 Women Prefer Facebook Over Sex
Young Men Prefer Facebook And Email Over Sex
Study: Married Women Prefer Sleep Over Sex
Study: Brits Choose Reading Over Sex At Bedtime
Women Prefer Computer Games over Sex: Survey
...But special attention to these two:
Happy Valentine's Day: 36 percent of Americans would rather give up sex than their remote
Remote Controls Over Sex?
The results for the US are probably no surprise (if we're to talk about stereotypes), but this is particularly striking in the context of France, presumably the home of French love (uh huh huh), the French kiss, ménage à trois, etc. Nearly 1/5 of the French prefer watching TV to making love. (That per cent is more than 1/3 in the US). The stats doesn't specify which particular TV programs they prefer, but for the sake of preserving the fame of the French madames et messieurs, let's assume those are erotic channels. Oh, keep the wishful thinking, Luz! No, not really. Most probably they're watching comedy series and Big Brother, or why not the morning women's coffee chat... where they probably sometimes talk about sex, heh... but more often about clothes, celebrities, recipes and hair styling. Believe me, I know that. Dozens of bored ladies pass through my saloon every day. And you'd be surprised what things I've heard from the gentlemen, too!
The last link is about a survey specially made by Logitech, the same company that invented the first TV remote 60 years ago, which changed the life of millions of TV maniacs and significantly contributed to the overall level of obesity around the developed world.
It's also telling that 18% would reach for the remote if you pointed a gun to their head and forced them to choose between the TV remote and the toothbrush. I suspect the percent is considerably higher in Britain, by the way. ;)
Curiously, these 18% tend to be a separate segment from those 1/5 of the polled (1/3 in the US) who regularly click around the various TV channels with a bowl of popcorn beside the armchair, rather than causing sleepless nights full of earthquakes for the neighbors with their mini Eiffel towers...

Date: 3/12/11 19:48 (UTC)True story: About 4 years ago I was having some problems and my Urologist told me I had to quit eating chocolate....I had already given up Coffee and sex (ever try with a catheter?) I told him to cut my wrists...he knew I was mostly serious so he did cut (not my wrists) but I am now back on all three. :D
