    Is Gaming Better Than Sex?

    Of course it bloody isn’t… but gaming comes (pun intended) a pretty close second in my book.

    In this week’s podcast, Pete and I discussed this at some length (pun intended). As regular listeners will hopefully know by now, I am a happily married man with a hot wife and three awesome kids.

    Which means I don’t get to have sex or game as much as I’d like. (Let’s face it, I’d do both EVERY night if it was up (pun intended) to me.)

    The other night, I FINALLY got to game with my online gaming legend Ronnie Corbet. We hadn’t gamed in around 5 weeks, and had a ding bloody dong (pun intended) game of Ghost Recon.

    It got to 10pm and I was confronted with that eternal question that most gamers with a partner face…

    • Do I game on and not worry about some bedroom fun?
    • Do I play one more mission and hope we get through it as quick as possible?
    • Do I call it a night and quit whilst I’m ahead (pun intended) and try and guarantee some action in the bedroom?

    I like to fly by the seat of my pants (pun intended) and went for the one more mission. Why bloody not!

    So, Ronnie and I smashed out another cracker in the game, then at 10.20pm, we called it a night and I sprung up, hopeful that I could get two bites at the proverbial cherry (pun intended) that night.

    Guess what… Hot wife was fast asleep. Like FAST asleep.

    So, I chucked on some Netflix and chilled (pun intended) – in that, I literally chilled, watching The Hangover 3 for the umpteenth time.

    It is an interesting dilemma though. Anyone familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs will know that sex rates pretty high in any person’s “needs”…

    Is Gaming Better Than Sex?

     

    I reckon gamers could argue that gaming is up (pun intended) there in old mate’s Hierarchy as well.

    Is Gaming Better Than Sex?

     

    It’s never a perfect world so, this week at least, gaming won the battle.

    All I know (and I made mention of this in the podcast), if my virginal 17 year old self knew that I chose gaming over potential sex, he would have slapped me and slapped me HARD (pun intended).

    We’re talking Slappers Only, in the Facility…
