I might have problems, but I'm wondering exactly who would give up sex for two weeks in order to have the internet in their home? Almost half of women, and less than a third of men apparently would.
I'm guessing either these people aren't in a relationship or don't get jiggy with their partners/friend's partners/random people that often. Now, maybe it's just me, but I fail to see the benefits of this. I mean, sure, a lot of people need the internet for work and such. It's an interestingly sad commentary on our society that people are more interested in their jobs, facebook, and internet porn than spending some love time with their significant other.
On the other hand, intimacy is the important thing, not the sex.
Now, here goes my [not so] wholesome image... and Theron's (sorry hun).
I love Theron with all my heart. We have a wonderful relationship. I'm pretty sure that the internet could never match the intimacy that we share, with or without sex. The sex isn't important, but the intimacy is. Still, I think that picking the internet over Theron is the wrong way to go in any situation.
Maybe it's just because I'm a romantic hippie, or because after almost a year and a half I'm still crazily head over heels for him, but love should be the most important thing in our lives. Can anyone imagine how the world would change if that were the case? If we all actually started practicing the teachings from all the great religious figures {The Buddha, Jesus, Muhammed, etc}? I think we could actually have a good chance at world peace if people stopped looking out for their best interests and started looking out for others.
So if you were asked, what would you do? Pick the person you're supposed to treasure or the internet that seems like it gets in the way enough already?

Ok, admittedly my relationship is different from yours, since I've been living with Laura for almost five years now, but if I had to choose between not having sex for two weeks or taking the internet out of my house, I'd keep the internet.
And in all honesty, I don't think the question says all that much...it doesn't ask if I'd dump Laura to keep the internet, it just asks if I'd sacrifice sex, for two weeks. That's a no-brainer for me.
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like it'd put me in a position where I have to deny the person I love the intimacy that we share sometimes. Maybe I'm envisioning it the wrong way, but I don't think that I'd be able to a) turn Theron down, and, b) survive that long. :-P
The internet seems so much of a one-person service - people on their laptops, ignoring each other. Intimacy, making love, spooning - whatever you want to call any of that - benefits so much more.
