		<description>Lol, on the other hand, if you switch to just thinking (or reading/watching) about sex for 2 weeks and then go back to the real thing, it probably will feel amazing. Well, it would for me anyway.

I&#039;d have a harder time giving up net access than e-book or even p-book access for 2 weeks, and I do a large amount of offline reading.

For 2 weeks I&#039;d certainly rather skip my approx hour a day of reading (non-work related reading) over my approx hour a day of sex.</description>

		<description>&gt; that is not a convenience worth giving up sex

It wasn&#039;t about giving up anything, merely to put something on hold for two weeks.

Also, consider that if you read only p-books for two weeks then when you go back to e-books it probably won&#039;t feel particularly amazing.</description>

		<description>E-books or sex?  Sex, hands down.  I have no problems reading paper books.  Sure, e-books are more convenient but that is not a convenience worth giving up sex. :-)</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;From Marcus Sundman...pulled out of the stomach of our anti-spam Doberman...&lt;/em&gt;


Those are disturbingly small numbers! If someone has a problem with two weeks of sex-abstinence then there&#039;s something wrong with him/her mentally (even hormone-driven teenagers are not instinct-driven like some lower form of animal). OTOH, if someone has no problem living off the net for two weeks then both that person&#039;s job and social life must be very physical. (I&#039;m assuming one won&#039;t get to choose which two weeks of ones life it&#039;s going to be, or otherwise so many factors suddenly come into play that the real question will get completely lost.)

As for e-books vs sex; although they are both pleasant, I don&#039;t think either is very important to have within the next two weeks, so I guess it depends on what mood one happens to be in.</description>
