Do You Tweet After Sex?
Plenty of us — especially men — reach for the iPhone afterwards
Yes, it’s sounds like a bad joke but according to a recent survey by a data-tracking company social networking and sex are the latest bedfellows. They examined how much and how often we use sites like Twitter and Facebook. (Answer: a whole lot.) Buried beneath the data is this crucial finding: People are reaching for Twitter after sex.
In fact, they found 36 percent of people under the age of 35 who responded to the survey admit that they update their status after they get busy. Of those, far more males cop to it than females, and iPhone owners do it much more often than BlackBerry owners. Three times as often.
There you have it: The iPhone is the new cigarette.
We did a quick pole amongst the Supreme69 girls and we seem to buck the trend as our girls obviously concentrate on the job and don’t fall foul to technological distractions. They told me their clients don’t either but they put this down to them being rather preoccupied. :O)
If you think about how incredibly often we log on to social networks these days, it’s not that big of a surprise. After all, if 64 percent of us admit to logging onto Facebook and Twitter at work, and just as many do it on vacation, why not after sex? Get this: 40 percent say they log on in the car. That’s gotta be more dangerous than doing it in the comfort of, well, wherever you’re getting lucky.
In this age of instant information about everything, the survey teaches us at least one thing: We now know why they call it social networking. XX
