Title: Most adults always have smartphone close by, 1 in 10 use it during sex
Post by: Ralph Wiggum on July 12, 2013, 12:50:42 PM: We already know many people are addicted to their smartphones, but a study released Thursday gives a clearer idea of just how much users can get attached to their device.

Nearly three in four American smartphone users surveyed said they are within five feet of their devices the majority of the time, according to the 2013 Mobile Consumer Habits study conducted by Harris Interactive for Jumio, a mobile verification and payments company.

More than a third said they use their device at movie theaters and 12% said they even use it while in the shower.

But perhaps most unusual is the fact that almost 1 in 10 users, or 9% of respondents, said they have even used their smartphone during sex.

"So it should be no surprise that 12% believe their smartphone gets in the way of their relationships," the press release for the study said.

The number of adults using their smartphones during sex rises to one in five when looking only at the 18 to 34 age group.

And for all those wondering, the study does not mention how exactly they are using their devices during sex.

Technically, I qualify for that too. I'll listen to the radio on my phone while in the shower. Of course, it doesn't actually enter the shower with me. :)

Yeah, the phone either sits on the back of toilet or on the counter, not actually in the shower. I would prefer that my phone actually continue working :-)

If she starts texting...that's it, she's out.

None. You have to be literate to respond to a written survey.

Now that is the first thing to come to mind for me.

I have been playing around with the idea to get a cell phone and the benefits of them. Himmmmm
this may be the final push to get one. I may be old but I ain't dead.
