i never thought of sex as having to be "fun", in the... pure meaning of the word. for me, it was always more about the pleasure of intense proximity (even "less than zero proximity", you could say) to the other person which i like to be close to. and, as I kind of have a long-term lack of presence of people i like/love, but quite an abundance of games, when I get the choice, i prefer sex.

I voted for sex, as if i had to choose what to give up, it would be the games not the sex. Both are things I enjoy doing with my bf and both are just not even close to as good when done alone, but sex just gets us closer and has a way bigger satisfaction-factor (and works during power outages).
But well as relationships often go, after a year youre not 24/7 locked into each other anymore and especially when days been exhausting, just playing something is easier for us lazy bums.
And for the discussion about girl who just dont get satisfied, male and female sexuality seems to have some unfortunate differences. Like the emotional satisfaction of having a well going relationship seem to make him need it less, while stress increses his need for releases, while I want him more due to the same feeling of connection in a well going relationship and stress just makes me want to sleep a lot. When we get to it, which is still allways good, even not allways the same, he gets satisfied, but it makes me just want more after an hour or so. So it comes down to keeping a balance so noone feels pressured.

Yep, thats usually the way to go.

I still have no experience in the latter, so I am unable to make a fair judgement call.
Buuuuuuuuut, I can still take a swing at figuring it out logically. I will spend more time playing video-games across my life (simple fact I can't deny), I can consistently play them, and they'll remain just as enjoyable as I age, so I gotta side with games.
Honestly few things relieve stress for me better than video-games and indulging my inner film-buff watching movies, so when I have down-time I need something to chill with.

Personally I wouldn't call it sad as much of a personal choice/preference. Although I personally enjoy social interactions over gaming, I wouldn't be too surprised to find someone who didn't. Different strokes for different folks.Raioken18 said:
I'm inclined to say I prefer sex, since recently that's been increasing in frequency compared to my game playing, but if I had to choose one for the rest of my life, I'd probably go for games. They are a constant companion, can be played for extensive periods, and potentially offer much more intellectually satisfying content. Also, no risk of kids and/or disease. I can always masturbate to keep other urges at bay.
Take that idea to Nintendo! You could make millions! Just come up with a catchy title. What's a catchy title for a Wii game that involves sex?Jazoni89 said:
Have an pseudo-intellectual argument about something game-related...then have sex to settle it. That's the best.
As a virgin I can't say anything.
Except video games...
Video games are something I choose to play at a time and place.
Sex is something that can happen at any time or location (Depending on your kinks.) with your lover.
So video games because I haven't even tried sex yet...because I am ALONE! D:

Deep down my honest answer is that if it was sex once with a random person or getting say a copy of a game I know I'll like I'd say the game, if this involved any human interaction at all, like someone said would you like this or this, I'd say sex every time. I'd want the videogame, but I know thats the 'wrong' answer.
If you said more a long term thing though or a videogame, I'd take the long term. I want a girlfriend damnit...

The only sex ill ever have is with my right hand, the same hand I use to play video games and I'm definetely better at, so video games are better.
Of course you would be, who wouldn't? There's a big difference between being willing to try and actually succeeding. There comes a point where a man simply can't physically perform any longer without pain - the type of girl we're talking about won't even stop there.disgruntledgamer said:
...rape turns you on? That's pretty weird, dude.disgruntledgamer said:
Then I'm very sorry for you. Historically, fucked up has been my type, but that's because they're drawn to me; I've had enough of the psychotics, the dangerous, the suicidal and the alcoholics to last me a lifetime thankyouverymuch.disgruntledgamer said:
Theres more than enough of us out in the world. Too many if you ask me. For me sex, or the avoidance of it, is a mental challenge. To prove that I am above base instincts, that and a £30 bet. Even when I die then I'll haave spent more time playing games than having sex therefor I will be better at games. People have been saying alot of stuff about love and the right partner but I don't believe in love so by default it goes to me. I've been tempted once but declined the offer because I wanted to go see a movie.FalloutJack said:
To be frank the idea of two slabs of meat slapping off eachother is just disgusting.
So far I'm proud of the large number of people saying games are better. Rise above those instincts. Choice over biological force anyday.
The fact that you tell people they get your symphathy because they haven't had sex is offensive at worse and misguided at best.Divine Miss Bee said:
Not everyone is interested in sex. You saying that makes you look down upon that group of people. To who i belong to as well(for me sex with be physical and mentally painful so no thank you).
I would pick games over sex any day(although nothing beats icecream).
Also I do not pick games over interaction with people (like most who picked games) WE just prefer games over sex and only sex. Since the question is between games and sex NOT games and human interactions.
edit : 2 massive typoes
It depends on which game you would be playing, and which sex you would be having with whom. Games are mainly mental stimulation, whereas sex is physical stimulation. Physical stimulation on it's on is VERY powerful and pleasing, but it has to be with someone who you value, and knows how to do it well. Games are a great source of mental stimulation, but of course there are many just plain mindless games out there that just plain de-stimulate your mind.
This topic reminded me of an editorial I wrote back in April of 2009. After finding it, I was reminded that this very website inspired the column. Perhaps some of you will find amusement in it:
Playing video games is a lot like sex: it involves a series of repetitive tasks with a progressive build-up that usually leaves a guy happy and a girl bored. In fact, a recent survey on www.escapistmagazine.com claims that one in three men in relationships would rather play their favorite console than engage in fornication. Better than that, 72 percent of these same men would give up a torrid evening with their lover in order to play a new game.
Some people might question why any male would rather shoot at digital aliens instead of their misses, but when the situation is analyzed, it makes sense.
Let's face it: video games can keep a man engaged in pleasure for longer periods of time. Guys can play video games for hours and afterwards, they don't fall asleep.
There is never anything awkward about playing video games. No guy ever has to sheepishly explain that his Xbox does not work that night because of the "red ring of death," and that it is still beautiful to him.
Video games also never leave a mess. Finishing a session of "Call of Duty" won't leave an annoying wet spot, leaves no sheets to rearrange and never results in any marks that have to be hidden from a person's boss.
Nobody needs to smell good to make playing video games more enjoyable. Along with that, nobody ever feels the need to shower afterwards.
Think of some of the technical aspects. A couple does not walk out of their room after playing "Resident Evil" with messed-up hair, flushed faces, obvious grins or the loud cat calls and knowing smiles of those they are living with.
They can both be enjoyed while intoxicated, although this is another situation where video games win yet again. There is nary a moment with a video game where the guy has to pretend he has not forgotten its name. Plus, there is no such thing as "whiskey-stick."
Anybody can have multiple video games at a time, can get a new one whenever they feel like, and there is no social stigma when playing "Counter Strike" if a buddy joins in.
When looked at in a professional, non-judgmental sense, it seems pretty clear why many men in relationships prefer video games to sex. This ongoing phenomenon should be embraced by the population, men and women alike.
Instead of buying that completely overpriced see-through bra from Victoria's Secret, a girlfriend should instead invest her money in something that will truly make her man happy, and at this point it should be clear what that something is.
Video games should really be marketed for what they are: the greatest alternative to sex that has ever been created. Easy way to do this - stick the newest releases section in the "feminine hygiene" aisle in Wal-Mart. That way a lustful, sex-filled night can be replaced with something even better.

I have to say sex, it's a biological drive.
Obviously, I wouldn't give up games in "exchange" for sex if someone demanded I do so.
But I would be very sad to give up games for it. I certainly couldn't fill all my "game time" with having sex. Eventually the pen runs out of ink.
