College males play video games three times more than females and violent video games eight times more. In the study, males had a greater propensity to use the internet for entertainment, news and pornography. Females, on the other hand, used the internet for email and school work.

Reuters adds, "However, regardless of gender, clear correlations were seen between frequent gaming and more frequent alcohol and drug use and lower quality personal relationships, as well as more frequent violent gaming and a greater number of sexual partners and low quality personal relationships."
