SURVEY: Sex or Ice Cream?

Written: April 5, 2010

Just after April Fool's Day, I posed a question on Twitter and Facebook, inspired by a silly conversation with someone close to me. The question was, which is better, sex or ice cream? I left it up to the reader to define "better", but I intended it to mean "more enjoyable". I figured we'd get a few silly responses, and that'd be it. Much to my surprise, there were a lot of semi-serious of responses, with some interesting demographics. So I decided to keep them for posterity.

Overall, there were 18 responses (10 on Twitter, 7 on Facebook, 1 via phone), plus my own input (it's a close call, but it's hard to beat ice cream), with the answers pretty close to even:

Sex4
Ice Cream 7
Both*7

However, if we break these down by gender**, an interesting trend forms:

Male
Sex4
Ice Cream 1
Both*6
Female
Sex0
Ice Cream6
Both*1

Thus, we now have statistical proof that women enjoy ice cream more than they enjoy sex. So, if you like girls, rather than trying to sleep with them, buy them ice cream instead!
