"Surfing the net has become an obsession for many Americans with the majority of US adults feeling they cannot go for a week without going online and one in three giving up friends and sex for the Web," reports Reuters.
The report is based on a survey of 1,011 American adults conducted by advertising agency JWT between September 7 and 11. It says:
More than a quarter of respondents -- or 28% -- admitted spending less time socializing face-to-face with peers because of the amount of time they spend online.
It also found that 20% said they spend less time having sex because they are online.
The article doesn't say how many people have sex while they are online....
Update: The Scripps Newspaper Group's Knoxnews has more info: see Other findings from the survey.
