A new British survey has found that one in three men would rather play video games than have sex.
The study of 1,130 British men was conducted by PS3PriceCompare.co.uk. The results of the poll may surprise you, but they didn't surprise Genie James, executive director of the Natural Hormone Institute. She said hormonal imbalance and stress are as much to blame as anything for choosing Wii boxing over going to bed early with your wife.
“It is very likely," James said, "that these men are suffering from a hormone imbalance at a cellular level that causes them to lose interest in sex."
James has ideas on how to fix it in a book due out in January. It's called, appropriately, "In the Mood Again," and explains how natural hormone balancing, diet and lifestyle changes can help adults of both sexes regain lost libido.
She also explores the causes of low libido. She believes that when testosterone levels begin to decline in a man’s 30s and 40s, libido – or sex drive – is compromised. Other symptoms of declining testosterone levels are fatigue, lethargy and weight gain.
“That is why many men come home, plop down on the sofa and pick up the remote or engage in video games," James said. "They just don’t feel up to doing much else.”
James is seeing this lack of interest in sex even in men in their 20s.
So, what’s a Madden-loving guy to do?
“Exercise naturally boosts lagging testosterone levels,” says James. “Also, clean up your diet. Go organic when possible. Give up the nachos and beer while sitting on the sofa. Remember that all those pounds packed around your middle are literally decreasing your ‘manliness.'"
“To get ‘in the mood again,’ all you need is a pair of sneakers and a trip to the health food aisle of your grocery store,” says James. “The results will be less time in front of the TV and more time enjoying another form of entertainment.”

Video games don't cause STD's or those expensive, exhausting, imprisoning little things called children. Sounds good to me. Should I go with PS3, Wii, or the latest X-Box?
Maybe they have disgusting wives. Seems alot more realistic than giving up sex for the Wii.
Hummm!! Wonder what the men's choices were? I can think of a number of women I would rather not have sex with (online poker for fun or bridge online) but no videogames either.
I can also think there are very likely even more women who would chose options other than moi!!
Maybe the guys are just better at video games than the other??? More practice at it????
Video games don't talk back.
Reminds me of the saying "Take the hottest celebrity you know, and there's some man out there tired of ****ing her."
Video games don't complain if you don't pay them attention..
I'm one of the one in three. In fact videogames/computer time win out over anything else.As far as sex....I rather have a biscuit.
Wow..Looks like I'm not the only one!! You don't have to worry about satsifying a video game time and time again after you have already gotten your rocks off.. I find more pleasure in playing video games.. It's my competitive nature always wants to compete, even if it is online playing madden..
Video don't know the meaning of the word no.
Real men do women and not hours on games- how else would the human race of made it this far! As a rule I tell my friends the first thing to look for is controls for the video games...if they are present leave right away as it is guaranteed doomsville....why date someone who is only there physically on the couch. I write this as my current victim to be (he hid the controls and xbox when we first met) is on his 7th hour of Sim City aka no sex in this city!
