Mobile in bed is number one of all sex problems

It’s always on. It always goes with us. We are always busy with it, even if we think we’re not. Guys, the time has come. We find our phones more important than our men.

You can secretly deny it, shout loudly that it’s really not true for you, cheer that you truly love your man the most, but believe us: it happens to everyone. It happens to every soul on this earth, because every soul on this earth has roughly a mobile phone. And we always take that beeping thing to bed. And we lie in bed with the thing in our hands, instead of having something else in our hands. That’s where it goes wrong.

According to telecom provider Ben, which has researched mobile usage between the sheets, the phone is the number 1 distraction in bed (in 50% of the cases, that is). That’s a lot more than Netflix distracting us from sex, just to name something. Only in 12% of the cases does a series ruin our sex life. But that phone has already caused a lot of sexless nights. Sexologist Kaat Bollen on the results: “People nowadays know better via social media what a vague acquaintance cooked in the evening than how their own partner’s day was.’

You can laugh about it, you can cry about it. Either way: there is obviously a kernel of truth in there. We don’t like it, by the way: according to Ben, 9 out of 10 people find it incredibly annoying when their partner reaches for that miserable thing again when it’s time to go to bed. Just a little scrolling before sleeping, reading news, shopping and liking. But a quickie? No, no, no energy left for that. Phew, busy, busy. Tired. From all that scrolling. At least 70% of people also think that their sex life is suffering because of that whole mobile life.

So, wise lesson, if you want some action in the taxi: throw that mobile hard out of your bedroom. Put it in the living room and turn it up loud: then you’ll definitely hear that alarm in the morning. And getting up after a night full of fun in your pussy is actually a lot more fun than getting up after a night of checking timelines on Instagram. Just saying. So that your man can read this article too.

FACTS

• Funny: Ben has designed a phone condom. Or rather: a rubber for your phone. Put it on, you can’t use it anymore. You surprisingly have a lot of time left for physical activities.
• 1 in 8 people admits that they miss a lot of beautiful moments, like at a concert or during a wedding, because they are busy taking photos.
