Reuters is pimping a study conducted by advertising firm JWT concluded that one out of every five people sacrifices sex to spend more time online. More than a quarter of the surveyed say they interact less with friends and acquaintances in face-to-face situations. JWT concluded that we've turned into a bunch of "digitivity denizens," people who opt for Wi-Fi over television and have intertwined their online and offline lives to the point where a fifth of the populace can't go without the Internet for more than a couple of days. Fifteen percent can't last unplugged for more than a day. Of course, JWT only polled 1,011 people — most likely interrupting a really rocking World of Warcraft guild meeting. (Photo by Lucas)

WHO Sacrifices sex for internet?????
Yes, I should be having sex right now, but instead, I choose to post witticisms online. From my mom's basement, of course...
@cv: It's okay, I'm taking care of your mom.
Yeah, that's right. I totally *choose* the interwebs over sex. It's not like my dweebiness has any effect on my nookie frequency. Nosirree.
@nick douglas:
I'm sure you -- as a resident of San Francisco -- will be able to handle the fact that my "mom" isn't female.
:)
@nick, not to pile on, but it's "yermom". Rookie ;)
If you're choosing Internets over sex, then I've got to wonder what sort of websites are better than sex, or what sort of sex is so bad that you'd rather pound in a URL.
