This many people have checked their phone during sex

Are you guilty of this?

Be honest.

Are you guilty of this?

Maybe you were waiting on an important email to come through?

Or perhaps your Just Eat order had just arrived?

Either way, there are plenty of reasons why people might check their phone during sex – some of them, arguably, more important than others.

We don’t have the stats on exactly why people would be having a little scroll during sex, but we do have the number of people who have admitted to doing it.

And it’s a mere 7 percent.

Honestly, thought it would be higher.

A new study by mobile company iPass has revealed that just 7 percent of people have checked their phone during sex.

The survey also showed that 11 percent of people have whipped out their phone while attending a funeral and just over one third have checked it during a date.

(The real number has got to be more than one third though, like come on, who doesn’t check their phone during a date? What kind of people were this company surveying?)

iPass collected their data from over 1,700 people in the US and Europe.

Essentially, what came back was the knowledge that we are all absolutely addicted to our phones and that we (maybe) need to stop being so reliant on them.

One day, lads.

One day.
