160Characters Association reports that
the mobile has penetrated so deeply into our lives that one in ten Brits would answer their mobile while making love. Mobiya have called this a new form of contraception ‘Mobilus Coitus Interruptus’.
In a recent study from Mobyko.com - men came off worse in the ‘love stakes’ as 15% more women openly confess to taking a call on their mobile whilst performing ‘bedroom athletics’. Overall, one in ten Brits openly admits to having answered their mobile phone during sex – and cutting the act short.
The research also went on to look at adult content stored on our mobile phones. It found that over 70% of mobile users in the UK confess to having ‘adult’ content photos, videos and texts saved on their mobile phones – which they wouldn’t want anyone to see.
What is your experience with mobiles interrupting your life.
Just this weekend the husband of a wife giving her thanks speech at a 60th birthday party took TWO calls during the speech, much to the annyance of the audience (he was sitting next to her at the time.)
