A survey of over 1,000 American web users has shown that many are giving up on friends and relationships because of the draw of online life, specially those users from Curefans.com
Almost half of respondents said that without the internet they feel that something important is missing from their lives.

Oh i just thought they had sex via internet, like the rest of the busy 'singles' world,
....although i believe it is not as satisfying for us girls, as it is boys....
I tried it a few times, via web-cam, felt shy, didnt 'get off' myself, so disconnected,
You cant even try reason with a guy with the 'big hard one' taking up your computer screen hehehhehehehe
OOps lost my connection..... LOL
And had more fun all by myself on that occassion, with no internet devices :smth023
nice to spoil yourself, and enjoy being selfish sometimes ;)
^
I don't think , the article is in refernce to cyper sex. It's stating that some Americans rather spend time on the internet than have sex.
And this was only done with 1,000 Americans. A very small amount. And I don't included myself, in this catergory. I do use the interenet, on a daily basis. But, becasue I have an online art gallery(site). I have many artists contacts through e-mail and myspace. My boyfriend, lives in Australia. So we have to communicate, online. Usually through msn and myspace. But, I don't make it my life. I do have friends, a social life. I don't watch much TV. But, do enjoy movies. And I have my art and hobbies, as well. And I would rather have sex than be on the comp,anyday. :smth001
Alot of people, especially guys wont or dont like to admit to cyber sex,
but all guys visit some porn and do get off- Definately. All of them ;)
never, ever met one that hasnt. And why wouldnt they have web-cam sex
if the opportunity is there, or eerm inspiration.
We are all human :lol:
But also if especially a guy has had cyber/cam internet sex, he is definately
less likely to have to urge, as much to have real sex. That was what i had
meant.
sure i understand that we all spend more time online, especially if it is also
work related.
But there is sex, and there is cyber-sex........ know what i mean ?
As per normal relationships, i still see people as per usual- but instead of
before when i would make phone calls- I use web instead for business too.

I like Birdy and Discus- must be hard to keep tropical fish so healthy ?
I know changing subject, but Birdy so cute :smth051
Surfing the internet is closest to "getting any" than I've ever come...
Surfing for women? Hard when you look like I.
I'm sorry for being a downer, but I love me my internet...

Yes, the water has to be changed regularly and the tank has to be cleaned,too.
Birrdy is swet. He can tslk. Only the males can imitate speech. The females can,only, do sounds.. He says Hello, hi,what and night night, They live from 15-20 years.
And thank you. :smth001
And now back on topic, Sorry.
Cyber sex?
HA HA HA!

:lol: I know waste of time for females- Thats for sure, hehehhehehehe Once you turn 'em on you cant
turn em off hehehehheheehehe
The 'high an mighty one' takes over the screen, Even if you just wanna see who you are talking to and you
go on web cam, all of a sudden, The one eyed beast is staring at you...............oops lost connection.. :roll: again....
I rarely use web-cam for chats with guys now, they act like you are committed to getting them off, just because
you wanted to say hello. :smth011 Trick me once, shame on you, Trick me twice Shame on me.......
I want a birdy, Night Night -so sweet. :smth023
Carnage V ~ I bet you are attractive, just shy, If its pimples (iam not sure if that was you) they will go away,
but personality counts for ALOT, alot of guys look like gods-that makes me spew, and when you get to know
them they are internally
yuck,,. And the guys that are more interesting- Always get my attention, especially a sense of humour, and
kindness, My boyfriend has acne scars, he is late 30's- still self conscience about it, But i love him, because his
personality is just beautiful !! Definately not the usual beauty- I wont go into it- Because i know him, and he is
beautiful !!! Inside and therefore outside,
But beauty on the outside, doesnt last 2 hours if you are not nice on the inside. :D TRUE
it's always the same with all these surveys, they don't really tell you anything. because you can't rate things (any kind of things, really) in such a "which one is ultimately better?" kind of way imo. because it depends. i mean, some sex is surely better than surfing on internet but still i don't hesitate to say that yes i'd rather spend good time on internet than be having some bad tedious sex. so i really don't know what these kind of surveys are really trying to tell most of the time. they just lack all kind of perspective. they can only depict a "yes/no" kind of world which i think everyone knows doesn't really exist in real life anyway.
(sometimes i just get a feeling that the surveys were made by some beavis&butthead kind of dudes - if you know what i mean.)

First on-topic ~ Was an American survey so, dont know, but iam sure of one thing, that jacking off infront of porn sites will disrupt the urge for sex.
RE: Australia - God all guys are like that, but at least its still masterbation....same as a magazines really, least he is not seeing anyone.
But iam not incouraging that, only wanted to say hello, and the guys took it as an invite To unzip, and show me something I really didnt wanna see :shock:
not that there is anything wrong with internet sex, just not for me.

Or perhaps not EVERYONE is getting some, and therefore have nothing else to do but use the internet. I know I spend all day online...
It's fun!
I don't think the not having sex is a choice on their part, they're probably just geeks and can't get the girl!
^ That's my excuse. ;)

ok with 'good time on internet' didn't mean internet sex. i was trying to give an example of how it's not possible to rate things like this, any things. surveys like this lack perpspective because it almost seems like the starting point
has to be that having sex (and obviously any kind of sex) is above all else. like it was a value as itself. whatever it was about, sex or internet or something, i just find it strange when people feel the need to rate things this way, whatever those things were. it's just like if the survey was "do you prefer to take a bus or drive by car?" - hey, it all depends where i'm going. but of course the "right" answer should be "by car" - because everyone "should" prefer driving their own car and not travelling with some public transportation. yet, if you really think about it, if you really think about which one is better, you'd notice it depends on the situation. yes one's own car is often surely comfortable, but i can think of a lot of situations where i wouldn't like to have a car with me, where it would only be dragging me down. for instance if i'd be going to somewhere that i know is going to have problem with finding parking space. or if i know i'm going to get pissed as hell - so why would i bring my car? so, it all depends on the circumstances.
sometime one is better, sometimes the other. so what i mean is that i always dislike the general idea that "yes/no" kind of surveys (whatever the survey question was), because how could actually provide any real information that's "based on facts"? because the facts change according to the circumstances. the answer's are no absolutes from which to pick the right one.
I thought it referred to sex because of the heading " RE' Americans give up sex for the internet", But people are just generally more busy now days, more to do, less time, inflation, etc.
offtopic- love Byron bay, Beautiful ahhh relaxing :D And no i dont know any guy like that from there :D
and in Byron Bay, all everyone worries about is the next ellusive wave.

of course it was a reply to this topic but i meant when i said 'internet' i only referred to internet in general. people seem to read every word 'internet' in this thread as meaning 'internet sex'?
I know- thanx, :smth033 Just wanted to cover myself aswell, - I suppose i like to talk and joke about sex, but doesnt mean iam a full-on pervert, Just a perve, thats all.
:lol:
Also surveys are crap- never specific enough. I guess i cant comment, iam not American. :smth020

I also didnt mean you mean "internet sex". Actually I think this topic went a little bit out of context. I just posted a news about americans (actually US people, not all american -southamericans, etc.-) dedicating more time to the Internet than other things (among them, sex). I also was not refering about cyber sex in this case (altought was interesting to read some girl's experiences about this matter :smth047). Anyway, I just guess anything where the word "sex" is involved will always get some polemic...

I have had cyber-sex (veeery long time ago, by the way) and I don't consider myself a frustated person. Actually I think people (like many of us) who spend so many hours in the net probably have done something like this in the past (maybe still now), it wouldnt be a surprise. Anyway, no reason to call someone "frustated" for doing this I think :roll:

Sex is SIMILAR to spam, as it is both sticky and contains questionable ingredients...
Okay, that sounded funnier in my head. But what does my head know, right???
Cyber-sex? What's that? Is that like, porn games? Because my friend plays those alot and I never really understood...
Anyway, ugly people can't get sex. That's why I use the internet to talk about it.
Simple...or is it?
Comparing sex to internet usage is nonsense!

It appears, all, who posted in this topic are spammers.
I love how threads, on this forum, go off topic so easily.
I dont know why some people get so uptight about sexual conversations, Nothing wrong with a giggle, but females i suppose are always aware that too much of that subject can lead to a bad 'reputation'.
I just love watching Euro T.V. shows, much more liberated, nothing wrong with sex, if it didnt exsist we wouldnt be here. God i love to state the obvious, I know, heeehhhhh, . . .. ....
but life-sex, death are all subjects that are avoided or stopped. ? or make people uncomfortable.
Nothing wrong with being sexual, at all. Just wanted to say that, while iam awaiting my chocolate cake to bake -(friends b'day 2mrw)
I don't mind talking about sex. I'm a very sexual person. But I don't like to talk about my sex life. That is too personal and private.
I'm not surprised really. IMO, I'd take smexin over the internet any day. & not to lose weight either. :P
America has a big problem with obesity & it's a fact that smexin can help burn off those calories & also curve people from wanting to overindulge.
There is many articles out there that prove this.
Just some examples but there are plenty plenty more out there. Just do your research. ;)
