Would You Give up Sex for Your Smartphone?
Sadly, at this point this article doesn't even surprise me. Apparently, 15% of people said they would give up sex for a weekend rather than go without their iPhone. Not total abstinence or even a month, 48 hours. That to me is pretty amazing however I'm actually beginning to think that number would be even higher depending on the demographics you select for the study.
- Asked which device or platform they would not be able to live without, a majority (65%) chose iPhone, while only a few (1%) report not being able to do without Facebook.
- More than 25% of survey respondents report that they "almost always" use their iPhone while in a social setting such as during a meal or while at a party.
- Nearly 4% of respondents report having used their iPhone while having sex. (Emphasis ours.)
The second one is something that astounds me whenever I'm out for dinner. I can't help but laugh hysterically when I see someone on a date and both are buried in their phones barely even talking to one another or even when kids are sitting at the table paying no attention to what's going on. It's also somewhat hilarious when people are on their phone and run into things while walking around. But really. What the hell does this mean for our society? Do you guys fall into any of these things, willing to give up sex for your smartphone?

What's more important?
What's more important? Maintaining your job or having sex on the weekend? I agree some people are obsessed with their phones and online social life, but for those that work, it's not an option for them to leave the smartphones.

Oh man! Facebook shares are going to take a huge hit from this high profile study.

Other way round, I'd imagine.
Why are you people even surprised by this? I'm going to take a guess that 95% of the males on this site would claim otherwise, but I'm not ashamed to admit that in my case, my sex life isn't quite so packed that I never go for 3-day periods without having sex. Going without my smartphone, however...
This is completely stupid.
This is completely stupid. Some of you act like you're star athletes living a models and bottles lifestyle at all times. It's two days. The tradeoff is having zero contact with any of your friends for the weekend (unless you live in 1995 and have a physical phone book), no access to work email, texts, etc. If this was an iPhone v sex for a month article, then it'd be more interesting.
This guys are just stupid.

Nah, I've got an LG eNV. I don't need a phone for work, and this old phone is still kicking.
I'll probably buy myself an iPhone 5 on release (unless someone decides to finally release a non-terrible Android phone that isn't the size of a fucking iPad).
