Sex Life Influenced by Cellphones

Cell phones are maybe a great and convenient addition to the modern life, but they can affect it in some aspects we don`t really want it to. According to a recent study by The Carphone Warehouse, which included 16,000 surveyed, six out of seven Brits do not turn off their cell phones before having sex. Only 14 percent said they switch their cell phones off, another 11 percent switch them to silent, meaning one in four people disable their device " one way or another " before having sex.

It was also found that more than half of the young people sent or received sexually explicit text messages, and a quarter sent or received a sexually explicit picture or video. 25 percent of mobile phone users said they did not think that sending a flirty text message was a form of cheating.

In addition, 55 percent of the young women said they use their cell phones to prevent unwanted advances from men. It was also found that young adults find their cell phones more important than television, and sending text messages has surpassed talking as the most popular cell phone activity.
