Daily Mirror claims Brits prefer bedtime gaming to romance
The Daily Mirror reports that Brits spend more time playing computer games in bed than they do having sex – in fact, sex is apparently only the 10th most popular activity between the sheets.
Sleep is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the most popular bed-based pursuit, though it is followed by the likes of talking, TV, reading and web surfing.
Gaming was named the ninth most popular gaming pastime.
The survey results, in minutes per week:
1. Sleep (3,150)
2. Talking (193)
3. TV (132)
4. Net surfing (122)
5. Reading (114)
6. Listening to music (105)
7. Using phone (81)
8. Work (77)
9. Computer games (57)
10. Sex (35)

35 minutes of sex a week? That would be amazing. Don't get me wrong - I have sex nearly every night. It's just that... well... guess you can out 2 and 2 together.
Re: Sexy mutha
because it lasts longer and is more enjoyable?
Re: Sexy mutha
OK - maybe you can't put 2 and 2 together...
What was the question asked?
Over 3000 people said 'sleep', and at number two 193 people said 'talking'. That's a heck of a difference. Was the question possibly "What's the most common thing to do in bed?" because that would explain it.
What a load of nonsense.
Re: What was the question asked?
I am more concerned with only 77 minutes working. I work 10 hours a day!!
if you had sex whilst playing a game, would you add both minutes together (70 in this case) or only include them once?
oh and "Gaming was named the ninth most popular gaming pastime." Surely GAMING is the most popular GAMING pastime?
