15 percent of people would rather do without sex than without their iPhones

Gazelle.com, which buys old iPhones, asked 1,000 of its customers a few questions about iPhones and sex.
Guys and gals, watch out. You’ve got some competition—and it’s not another human being. About 15 percent of the respondents said they’d rather go without
sex than without their iPhones for a a weekend.
And pity the 4 percent of lovers who have that magic moment interrupted by someone who used the phone during sex.
Lovers should feel relieved though about one thing. Facebook fairs even worse than lovers. Mashable reports that “when asked which
device or platform they would not be able to live without, a majority (65 percent) chose iPhone, while only a few (1 percent) report not being able to do
without Facebook.”
Here are some other facts from the survey
press release:
-
About 40% of those responding want a larger screen on their iPhones.
-
People often get rid of other devices when they get an iPhone, like iPods or mp3 players (70 percent of respondents), cameras (55 percent) and GPS
units (40 percent).
-
And, even more disgusting, only 15 percent of those surveyed say they haven’t used their phones while in the bathroom. Do you think it’s really even
that high?
