1 In 5 Women Choose Facebook Over Sex (VIDEO)

First Posted: 10/18/11 12:22 PM ET Updated: 11/23/11 01:56 PM ET

Is it so shocking that one in five women would go without sex for a week if they had to choose between a hot date versus status updates?

Maybe this is a sign that men need to get their act together if online friends are more rousing than the real thing. But this does raise a good question, is it men that are lacking or Facebook that's packing a more satisfying experience? What are women getting from their online social interactions that they aren't getting from their partners?

The Doctors put this statistic to the test in the video above and are astonished by their audiences response. One male doctor jokes that you shouldn't have to choose between the two and just combine them, while another laments women's neglected partners. If previous research is an indication, like this study that proclaims dieting women think about food more than sex, women have a lot on their minds.

With women working long hours, only to grab a few in the evening for their own interests, Facebook and other social media may be more of a threat to relationships than that flirty co-worker...

Sex is great at any age===== you just have to adapt.positions. When the male is young he can make love in any position. When he gets old there are nights when the female has to stand on her head and let him drop it in. What ever you dont quit trying.

I was married 45 years when my wife died of lung cancer. I promised my self I would never get married again and take a chance of suffering such a great loss again. I was single for 5 years before remarring. I cant stand old people, esp. women. I met this 26 year old tour guide a year after my wife was gone and we saw Italy France and England together and I became educated in the facts of life in this day and age. Thanks to her and Cialis I began to explore women of different ages and found what most want from a man. I am now married to a woman 22 years younger than me. It doesnt take much to keep a woman happy, being secure with securities ;

Sex last for minutes, you can get on Facebook and converse with people about ideas and opinions for an hour or two or more. Need I say more?

I've done it, it's sex it's not intellectual thinking and conversing. Screwing takes no thought process.

What's so shocking there?

Not everyone enjoys sex. Haven't you've heard of women who have never had an 0r5@sm? Maybe they've given up on finding it.

Hubby and I are acting like loons, just this morning, while half-asleep, we were embracing, petting,kissing, saying lovey-dovey things...It just never gets tired.
Thing is...or the twist is....... we've been married for 7 years now, so this is not "normal" behaviour.
Is there smth wrong with us???

Absolutely not. You and your husband are very lucky.

Would have made sense if the answer was shopping. Could believe that. But facebook? Not likely

This is a rather silly finding. Never in my wildest imagination can I see Facebook preferred over sex. I am a woman and I believe that the survey has been done with a lot of bias and consequently erroneous results.

When facebook creates an "orgasm ap" it may possibly be something I choose once in a great while over sex with my man. Or at least when he's away on business.

They've got their work cut out for them!

Hilarious! An 'orgasm ap' - I love it!

I would take THAT over any of the winners that I've have crappy relationships with the last 2 years...

Real studies indicate it's not the content but the light emissions from computer and TV screens that diminish desire. Turn them off and get more!

I don't think Facebook is the culprit. The other side is that their man isn't making it happen, or they're off doing something else.

"Women work long hours and have a lot on their minds" Quit making excuses. Men have been working long hours for centuries. Women wanted to be equal, so shutup and be equal. Quit blaming someone else.
