We've told you time and time again technology in the bedroom is a bad, bad idea. Not only does it keep you up at night, but these days, more and more people feel that being online is more important than having sex. An online survey commissioned by Intel found that more women than men would rather go without sex for two weeks than give up the Internet for that long. That's 46 percent of women compared to 30 percent of men!

Older women are more willing to make this trade, whereas the opposite is true for men. Only 23 percent of men aged 35 to 44 said they'd endure two weeks without sex, compared to 52 percent of women who felt the Internet connection was more important.

The Wall Street Journal has a few more fun statistics derived from the Harris Interactive survey conducted on behalf of Intel. Apparently, 95 percent of respondents feel it's important to have devices that access the Internet, and 84 percent said they've saved money by comparing prices online. Sounds like we're a little too obsessed with the Web.

What do you think? Any of this ring true to you?
