I can't believe the video games is so damn close in the poll. It's like bringing a knife to a gun fight. As much as I love video games, I'd even take a five minute quicky over a lengthy video game session any day.
Poll: Who here prefers Video Games to Sex?
- Thread starter ShakyFiend
- Start date
"A little of both. Never vanilla sex though, it gets boring after a while."
Says me (in the far future), but who's currently a minor.

Whichever one I have done less recently.
For me, sex isn't about fun, it's about enabling myself to think rationally for another day.
The less regularly I get action, the more clouded my mind is, and humanity needs my mind.
As a result, humanity needs me to have sex.
@The OP: Could you edit the poll to include options for Virgin, and I like em' both, why choose?
I'm seeing them pop up a lot in the thread, and the poll should reflect these opinions.

If a girl were doing that in my direction, my pants would be off before my computer monitor.lisadagz said:
OT: Well now, it's not every day we actually get an interesting question like this on The Escapist. Though I imagine there are a fair few people in the "foreveralone.jpg" court around here, so the results may be skewed a bit...
Anyway. I think it depends on the type of sex we're talking about, personally. Random sex with strangers, no, I'd rather have video games. Sex with the lady I'm currently seeing and/or in love with? Yeah, I'll turn the game off.
I voted sex because I still have the whole kinky spectrum of shit* to explore. Meanwhile I have experienced practically all the key genres and sub-genres games have to offer and only a minuscule amount of them achieve anywhere close to the euphoria that sex can have.
So, sorry sony, mircrosoft, nintendo and valve... but unless you really step up to plate, the vagina is by far the superior platform for me. It's miles ahead in terms of interactivity, mechanics can be a bit naff, but once you get the hang of them it's a pleasure.
That said, I hope that such an event where I would have to choose 1 or the other, will never happen.
*"Shit" as in stuff... I'm not a fecalphiliac, that and other taboos are of no interest to me.

Well, for the sake of passing on my game-loving genes, I'd like to say I'd quit videogames in favour of sex. On the other hand, though, I have certainly had more fun with videogames than I ever had with sex (also compare time spent: >1000 hours on videogames vs. <50 hours of sex - foreplay not included, but might as well...).
Maybe they were playing Halo and copping an eyeful of Cortana's arse... -_- Or ME2 and Miranda Lawson... too much sculpted arse in modern games! =Plisadagz said:
OT:
Yeah, pretty much that... but I'll add the audio, the physical feedback and basically infinite replayability rather add to it, I think...(!!)Spinozaad said:
Multiplayer can be pretty awesome too if you ever get the chance/right people!
...
Yeah, I'll slink away now... -_-
Well I'm an asexual so my vote's superfluous, but I'll try to think of ways one's better than the other.
[GAMES] If you fuck up you can always reload a save, If you stick the dongle into the wrong port it doesn't matter, If you have children in a game and decide to kill them you don't have to find a black guy to blame it on, A game's easier to start up, You can do it with your little sister and not wind up on a list, If you fall asleep right after a gaming session you don't called an asshole, And unexpected rumbling in your hand is welcomed.
[SEX] It's a good source of exercise, It propagates the species, It helps prevent prostate cancer, It can promote mental well being, You can use it to get back at your parents, It helps blood pressure, it relaxes so you can get a full restful nights' sleep, it increases dopamine and serotonin in your brain, The music about it is better, And lastly it's cheaper.

sex is very much overhyped and overrated. games are much better. cleaner. no emotional baggage. no commitment. you can play whatever you want. you can play as long as you want, and stop whenever you're satisfied. you can play as many different games as you want and no one will bat an eye at you. you can stop playing a game whenever you want and no one will care. you can refuse to play a game whenever you want no one will be offended or suspicious. the list goes on.
This thread is funny.
I don't even feel like adding anything. I just wanted to say that this thread and the replies in it made me lol.
Ok, I guess I have to add something. So I'm going with neither, and taking Tyrannosaurus taming. If I could tame then ride a Tyrannosaurus, well then screw everyone and everything else.

I voted sex but I reckon sex is easier to get tired of than games. Games are less fun but you can have fun with them for longer/more often.
