The U.S. survey, which queried 2,119 adults last month, found that the gap grew even wider for both men and woman who were 18 to 34 years old. For woman, the percentage of those willing to skip the sheets in favor of the Web rose to 49 percent, while it climbed to 39 percent for men.

And for women 35 to 44 years old, the figure jumped to 52 percent.

THE Internet already comes with my Singledom and refusal to date.

My time is ALL mine to do with as I please without answering to nobody!

I'm an Internet junkie obviously , but I don't like what I've turned into at all. Would I give it up?! If it were for a really good and loving relationship or even a great fling - more than gladly (don't miss it on vacations one bit). If it were for "bam, bam, thank you, ma'am" kind of sex, no way, Jose!

Better being an internet junkie than lets say a drug junkie.

I would give up having sex with women ever again if I was guaranteed for example $1 million dollars a month for the rest of my life. I may be a heterosexual but for me money trumps over women when it comes to what is imprtant to me in life.

Ha-ha, I'd give a serious consideration to such an offer, too.

Not me. That would pretty much mean I'd be single and lonely for the rest of my life....and you can't take it with you.
