Why should you choose between sex and video games? Find a guy who's into both! | Source: Shutterstock
In what’s either a brilliant or a bogus marketing move, a sex toy shop in France is giving away a free vibrator to anyone who may not be getting laid since Diablo III came out this week.
This comes with a few implications: One, that the company is either sympathetic towards women who they assume will be lonely, or two, that the company is a little sexist in assuming that women and girls don’t have any interest in one of the most badass and engrossing video games of the year. In any case, we think if the guy you’re dating is always more interested in video games–no matter how addictive–than he is in you, you probably wouldn’t want to sleep with him anyway.
Which brings us to an important question, gals: Which would you rather have–video games or sex?
Not gonna lie, I’d go with video games.
Think about it: You never have to worry about them texting you back about your plans and then spacing or flaking. You don’t have to worry about your makeup smearing on them or whether or not they like the flavor of your lip gloss. They don’t get too handsy with you before you’re ready or engage in locker room talk with their friends after spending the night with you. And with video games, you have way more control, so if a happy ending is what you want, you’ll get it–even if you have to reset a few times. Frankly, I wish dudes were as predictable as the algorithms within a PS3 game. And hello? They come with a manual. And if that’s not enough for you, you can cheat–and get away with it–with a walk-through.
Sure, guys can be okay. Some of them are really nice to look at, a lot of them smell good (maybe because their deodorant is so cheap), and a few of them are good with their hands (or other things). But the drama, the arguing, the douchebag friends, the mind games–it’s a little exhausting after a while, isn’t it?
Obviously, if you have a good guy, he’s not going to make you decide between video games and sex. Hell, he wouldn’t pressure you into either (though he’d likely be delighted to engage in both). But if you’re on the fence about a dude? Go with the video games. Unlike with guys, you can turn them on and off without them getting pissy and whining about blue balls. There’s no gross stuff to clean up afterward, and no STD or pregnancy risks. If you have a Kinect or a Wii, you’ll still get a workout, and you can pause them when you have to pee without stuff getting really awkward.
And if you fall into the category of girls who need a little sexy help to get through the debut of Diablo III? Dude, you know what to do.
Have you ever dated a guy who was more into video games than hanging out with you? Are you, you guy, or your friends hooked on Diablo III? What do you think of the vibrator offer? Do you prefer video games to sex? Tell us in the comments!

This or That
Sex beats video games, and I really like video games.
If im in the middle of the game and my hubby wants some sugar, I might not even bother pausing it.
I would SO take advantage of that free sex toy if I lived in France. And when it comes to choosing either sex or video games, I could TOTALLY give up video games for the closeness and intimacy I share with my significant other.
Which would be really hard, as I am a hardcore RPG fan. But I would do it.
I get after my boyfriend about his video games all the time. It has to do with age. We are both 21 years old. Plus we only see each other maybe 2 days every two weeks because of distance. I don’t have time to sit around and play video games with him. I would rather go outside and play a sport than sit and play a game. However out of these two, sex definitely wins.

Haha I for one know my boyfriend is going to be spending a lot of time on Diablo 3 once he gets his hands on it, but I don’t really mind. I know he’s been waiting for this game for a long time and is super excited about it, so I’m gonna let him spend the time he needs with it. Doing so will earn me girlfriend points and I know after a week or too he’ll be less engrossed. Hell, I may try the game myself, I haven’t played the rest of the series but I love videogames. And I know that if I got really upset about him playing the video game instead of hanging out with me, he would chose me. I’m just not gonna stoop to bitching him out for it – I’ve got my own things that I wanna do too
I found this so true, I once dated a guy who at the time I thought was completely perfect. We didn’t hangout as much as we should have, but I just thought it was because things were busy, he had a job, and there was school and we lived pretty far from eachother and neither of us had a car. But then he broke up with me because he wanted more time for video games, he worded it differently then that, just saying he didn’t want a girlfriend and didn’t have time. But he told his friends, and I knew that the real reason was because of video games. So, after we broke up, I found out all the times he had cancelled on me were because he didn’t want to leave his room, he just wanted to play video games. This was around the time Skyrim had just come out too… I think it was a stupid decision on his part, not trying to be conceded or saying I’m better then him, because I know that’s not true, it’s just, for a guy like him.. Girls don’t come around often. I was his first anything. I find it hard to believe how someone can choose video games over a person. Games are fun and all, but I think having a special person in your life is much better.
I agree like having someone who loves you is so much better then video games
I would go with video games too:)
