Doritos not only make crisps they think women play video games just as much as men...

A study, carried out by Doritos, found that while 50 per cent of men readily admit to frequent gaming, a surprising 49 per cent of women confess that they too are addicted to games.

    Surprisingly, the study showed that not only are women just as keen on gaming as men - but that the majority would rather spend time playing on their gadgets than having sex. Technology may be keeping us in touch with the world, but it’s also isolating us from our partners — whether it’s a wife who spends hours on Facebook or a husband who can’t be separated from his video games. And more studies showed that gaming habits are cited in 15 per cent of divorce cases, with women saying they feel they come second to their partners' computer games.

Facebook, where many of the games women prefer are based, is cited in one in five divorces, according to lawyers, while a survey by website Divorce Online found that the phrase ‘mobile phone’ occurred in one in eight divorces citing unreasonable behaviour.

Even if a couple share the passion for gaming, there's no doubt that with both parties turning their focus to virtual reality, a real-life bond can be harmed.

Technology is interrupting our relationships and allowing us to avoid each other. It has become a way of avoiding real relationships and intimacy.

Some of our interviews also showed that relationships are effected by more men and women participating in gaming.
