  • Snoogs, on 10/06/2009, -3/+109I have a feeling those "3" aren't getting laid too often anyway.
  • inactive, on 10/06/2009, -3/+77Those 3 are ugly chicks who have good vibrating cell phones.
  • syst1k, on 10/06/2009, -3/+599 out of 10 digg users don't have the option of choosing between the two
  • Rain12913, on 10/06/2009, -2/+32Kind of a stupid article. To quote GregLoire above, "Preferring not to go without something is different from simply preferring something. Most of us prefer sex over brushing our teeth, but I'd rather give up the former for a year than the latter." Giving up cell phones for a year would simply not be possible for most of us. I would be unable to perform the duties required by my job and I'd lose touch with many of my friends and family who don't live nearby. Also, I'd imagine that many of us would have a difficult time meeting/keeping in touch with/courting people of the opposite gender without a cell phone and thus would have a much harder time getting laid anyway.

    Giving up sex, while unpleasant, would not result in as many consequences. Sure, it would be horrible and all that, but we would still be able to continue living our lives virtually the same (some of us moreso than others), whereas we're all so dependent on cell phones that giving them up would simply not even be feasible.
  • victorycig, on 10/06/2009, -0/+22In a related study, 30% of cell phone subscribers can now access Digg on their mobile devices.
  • MeatPlow, on 10/06/2009, -0/+21If I talk dirty to a girl, it's sexual harassment.
    If a girl talks dirty to me it's $3.99/minute.
    not fair
  • dma1965, on 10/06/2009, -0/+18Hey! I can get porn on my phone. Try making a phone call with your sex partner. Not so easy, is it?
  • GregLoire, on 10/06/2009, -0/+18Preferring not to go without something is different from simply preferring something. Most of us prefer sex over brushing our teeth, but I'd rather give up the former for a year than the latter.
  • tdmeth, on 10/06/2009, -0/+17"Men do things for women without expecting sex."
    "Those would be men who just had sex."
  • absolutelytrue, on 10/06/2009, -0/+15yet you just did.
  • iimjpii, on 10/06/2009, -1/+16That might be a bit optimistic.
  • lucasftw, on 10/06/2009, -0/+14I'd like to see a correlation between what phones people had and what they answered.
  • enderpressure, on 10/06/2009, -0/+11try inserting your penis in your phone
  • dlan4327, on 10/06/2009, -0/+11Give up sex for a year? That would mean... It would be just like every other year of my life.
  • norman619, on 10/06/2009, -0/+11I'm pretty sure if they took masturbation away for a year as well those 3 would change their minds.
  • inactive, on 10/06/2009, -0/+11Until I got my new cell a couple weeks ago, it had been a year and counting for going without either.

    I can sure tell all of you, the cell phone wasn't my first choice :-/
  • badqat, on 10/06/2009, -1/+11I'm guessing these folks prefer to be the master of their own domain...and cell phone, too!
  • BlindingDawn, on 10/06/2009, -0/+9That low?
  • Madrick, on 10/07/2009, -0/+9Perhaps they're married.
  • MeatPlow, on 10/06/2009, -0/+8And I bet those "3" also use that number in place of the letter E.
  • elliotys, on 10/06/2009, -1/+9America: Our priorities are *****.
  • hatepaste, on 10/07/2009, -0/+7You mean the best 10 seconds of your relationship/lives.
  • jrm125, on 10/06/2009, -1/+8Jerk off and keep the cell, or bang but not talk on the phone.

    If they can't get in touch with you, you won't be getting ass anyway.
  • jax1492, on 10/06/2009, -0/+7I have a solution ... phone sex?
  • Boofster, on 10/06/2009, -0/+7That's a bunch of *****.

    The people surveyed probably weren't gonna get sex for a year anyway.
  • Adude09, on 10/06/2009, -1/+7I rather have the sex
  • DaneGleesac, on 10/06/2009, -0/+6<insert joke about it not mattering to diggers due to the fact no one on here has sex>
  • FLarsen, on 10/06/2009, -1/+7Protip: If you're going to make an argument, base it on something that isn't made-up.
  • lazenby, on 10/06/2009, -0/+6Done it before, can do it again.
  • Quaestor44, on 10/06/2009, -0/+6yeah its not that bad once you get used to it
  • grbruner, on 10/07/2009, -0/+6Or maybe they think their sexy iPhone 3G is the only reason they get laid and feel like the question is a trap.
  • callinthelaw69, on 10/06/2009, -1/+7Proof that at least 30% of people are retarded.
  • alxnfl, on 10/06/2009, -2/+7so apparently 3 out of 10 the surveyed are digg users
  • the2989, on 10/06/2009, -0/+5So, 7 out of 10 prefer sex over a cell phone? I never woulda thunk it!
  • ricemonster, on 10/06/2009, -2/+7They prefer to mastur something else.
  • Denominator88, on 10/06/2009, -2/+7In other news, 3 out of 10 people in the world are Digg users.
  • spworm, on 10/06/2009, -0/+5Cell phones really aren't that essential.

    You can stay in touch with people perfectly by checking your email once a day and actual social interaction.

    I haven't used my phone yet this week.
  • HurricaneDC, on 10/06/2009, -1/+6Let's see. I've gone 18 years without sex (though that'll be changing soon...). I could last one more year.

    Besides, masturbation is pretty good.

  • lava, on 10/07/2009, -0/+5My dad is not a phone!
  • SkinnerBox, on 10/06/2009, -1/+5Or chicks in relationships.
  • BotchaMcCoola, on 10/06/2009, -0/+4Perhaps that vibrate mode has a social downside.
  • elitexero, on 10/07/2009, -0/+4I'm an adult!
  • BxBoy, on 10/06/2009, -1/+4Meanwhile, 7 out of 10 are feeling the good vibrations not coming from a phone.
  • kjones555, on 10/06/2009, -0/+3This just in! Studies show that 90% of that 30% that chose cell phones over sex are average diggers!
  • Csaliture, on 10/07/2009, -1/+4payphone, land line, email, social networking site, randomly stopping by
    yes, clearly there is no other way to get a hold of anyone without your cellphone
  • ZhiZaki, on 10/06/2009, -0/+3This thread worked out perfectly!
  • Dustin00, on 10/07/2009, -0/+33 out of 10 are failing at sex.
  • Mship, on 10/07/2009, -0/+3Chance are either you guys would have sex well before you got to that one year mark or one of you would cheat on the other for the lack of the emotional connection that you have when you make love to the person that you love.
