If this had emerged a day earlier, I’d have dismissed it as an April Fools joke. But it didn't, so I accept no liability if it turns out to be bogus.

It seems a study of 1,130 British men conducted by ‘the UK’s only specialist PS3 price comparison site’ PS3pricecompare.co.uk has found that two-thirds would rather play video games than have sex.

To be fair to the UK’s male population, the study was conducted on a PS3 site, and the damning figure only applies to new games. Only 32 per cent of respondents said they’d rather play video games generally than have sex - it’s only with the qualifier ‘new’ that the number shoots up to 72 per cent.

Amongst the reasons the men gave were that their partners were ‘hard to please.’

It’s not that hard, boys. You just need to learn the right combos and finishing moves. If you get stuck, there are numerous strategy guides online. Four player co-op is good fun, although versus mode can get a bit sticky. A good quality joystick is essential.

And so on.
