Survey: Female gamers enjoy gaming more than sex

Do they enjoy sex IN videogames?
Doritos found in a scientific survey of 2,052 people that 49% of women play video games online, compared to 50% of men, but those women also spend more time than men online; 23.1% of their games are spent online as opposed to the male 22.3%.

In the more interesting part of the survey, 84% of female gamers "enjoyed" gaming, as opposed to the 75% enjoying taking a bath, the 71% enjoying sex, and the 62% of them enjoying exercising. 17% of female gamers played online games... in bed.

Now, this isn't to say women prefer games to sex, but that female gamers say they enjoy it more, and "enjoy" is pretty subjective.

Regardless, it's further proof that the videogame demographic is more than teen boys, which developers and publishers seem to forget.

Now, how many female gamers enjoy Doritos?

Pathetic! No more real man out there to satisfy a woman... they need to use a game.

Had a GF once who was as much into RTS's as me. It was great. I believe the only true weirdos you meet are those that 'get into' the creepy "Second Life" (and treat it as their first life).
Play flight sims with several female gamers atm, and they are vicious rivals in MP. Good "wingmen", ferocious opponents and very passionate gamers.

@MindCoil, surveys don't have to contain billions of people to be accurate. They ask certain population segments, in relation to their proportion in the overall population. That way, they have a pretty good estimate. Election polls don't ask millions of people either :P
That said, I bet people wouldn't say "hey, cool", but "I told you so" if a study showed that men liked games more than sex.
