In Britain gaming is better than sex. That's according to a poll of our favourite bedroom activities by Bedroom specialist Sharps, which brings the state of the country (and its sex lives) to a horrible light.
The Daily Mirror quizzed over 2,000 Britons on what they like to get up to in the bedroom, and embarrassingly shagging ranked at the very bottom of the list, under net surfing, using the phone and work. Lazy gits.
Sleep came top with the most votes, with TV and listening to music also grabbing ample hours in the bedroom.
Chris Gooding of Sharps said: "The results show we do far more in bed than sleep - some even work."
Worryingly, talking and work also placed highly in the list, with gaming and sex placing at number nine and ten on the list respectively. Clearly The Mirror hasn't been quizzing enough blokes on this one.
The top ten (in minutes) includes: Sleep (3,150), Talking (193), TV (132), Net surfing (122), Reading (114), Listening to music (105), Using phone (81), Work (77), Computer games (57) and Sex (35).
Wtf?! Who the hell did they survey?! Sex comes right at the top of the list! Sleep and games can battle it out for 2nd place. Britain can be so odd sometimes...
Dear god that is horrible. I mean, i'm all up for a few hours of gaming but show me a naked lady and the console will be turned off faster than i would be turned on... Seriously this is awful news. Or maybe we've all been playing Tomb Raider so much we've forgot not all women can look that good
I find it more disturbing that work beat ANYTHING?!?! Who the hell wants to work in bed? I don't want to work at work...
Besides, why limit yourself to doing just one thing in bed? Whats wrong with sleeping, then waking up and jumping the misses, wiping yourself off, and rolling over for some CoD4 action. If you can stay awake that is.

I'm with you Albert. When I'm not thinking about sex, I am asleep. And even then I dream about it. Kelly Brook or COD4? Toughie....
I think it's a list of what we spend most of our time doing in the bedroom. Not what we like best. And it's not like we can just have sex whenever we want it. Everything else in the list can be done alone and whenever we want to. So sex is bound to be bottom of the list

That is not a toughie at all man. I'd give up gaming entirely for a look at Kellys lady bumps and a go at her front bottom.
Well, Im glad that there was still a huge majority that said Sleep was number 1 in the bedroom. But those figures dont factor in the people that love in flat shares, and those that actually have larger than a 1 bedroom house. Back in my flat share days, I only had a bedroom so everything was done in it, now i own a flat and everything gets done in every single room (some more than others)
This is the best news I've heard in ages. Daily Mail readers aren't breeding. It will do wonders for the Gene pool.
It was the Mirror not the Mail (even though they're just as bad)and I don't think Mail readers play video games, considering how much abuse they aim at gamers and games in general.
lol @ people trying to look cool. "gaming in the bedroom? ive never heard anything so stupid, my gf gets nailed 10 hours a night by my 10 inch piece" .... please. you're only kidding yourselves
Video games more popular than sex in the bedroom? Also, sex is at the bottom of the list too! At least it was only a poll of 2000 people not 20 million.
Did they survey 2000 virgins? I ain't got a gf at the moment so I would admit that I ain't getting much right now but surely masturbation would be up there, my eye sights starting to deteriorate because of it
It just says there's not much sex in the bedroom, it doesn't say anything about sex in the other rooms in (or out of) the house....
Yea I thought that, but then I remember it was Daily Mail readers. So anything other than standard missionary in bed, in a dark room, would be considered wicked.
I dont get achievement points for sex, just a sneer 'is that it' or 'my last boyfriend was bigger'.
I say more sex in video games, whatever happened to them dodgy under the counter Amiga games where you rubbed a pair of titties, or waggle your joystick to make a girl cum?
Thank god for freedom of speech. There must be something disheartening about going to university for a few years only to end up writing articles like this for the rest of your life.
