Cosmo magazine did a study to see if women would rather give up sex or Facebook for a week. According to this article, 2,000 women were surveyed and a surprising 20% said they would rather give up sex rather than miss out on Facebooking for a week! Another surprising finding was from a survey conducted by TeleNav. 514 participants were included in the study and nearly 1/3 of them said that they would sacrifice sex for a week over giving up their phones. Finally, MSNBC added a live poll to the article and out of 4,829 voters who participated in the poll, 13% said they would give up sex for a week over Facebook.
I am actually not surprised by these findings. Technology definitely plays a more prominent role in our lives today, especially our social lives, so of course it would have some affect on our carnal relations!! I remember when Myspace was very popular and I must admit I was completely addicted to it. I actually had a bet with my boyfriend to see who could refrain from logging on to our accounts the longest. I won but we both only last a little over a week haha
In conclusion, this article was very entertaining and it goes to show how strong the relationship is between computers and humans when some humans choose their computer over a significant other! I wonder if the number of people who choose their Facebook over sex will increase in number in the next few years.

This is very surprising to me I find it sad how people are so addicted to technology. I would never give up sex to talk to some people on Facebook I don't even have a face book but Im sure if I didi that it would not be that important. This just lets me know that either a lot of people are single or they are in unhappy relationships. I would give up my phone for a week even if it had nothing to do with giving up sex for a week. Because most of the time people are call you to talk about things that are not important anyway so Im like who cares.
