iPhone > Sex?

W

e all know that people are crazy about their iPhones. Heck, we’re crazy about ours. But did you know that there are some people who are so crazy about their iPhones that they may in fact be crazy, as in certifiable, as in bats in the belfry? According to a survey conducted by the electronics website Gazelle.com, 15 percent of people would give up sex for their iPhone.

Gazelle.com surveyed more than 1,000 people and found that their iPhone obsessions run deep. 

iPhones are nifty and all—you can play games on them, listen to music, watch movies, send emails and texts, and they can even be used as phones. But better than sex? The only thing we can think of that is better than sex is, frankly, more sex. But Gazelle surveyed more than 1,000 people and found that their iPhone obsessions run deep.

Sixty-five percent of those polled said they couldn’t live a day without their iPhone. That may or may not be surprising to you, but when asked what they would choose, a weekend without sex or a weekend without their iPhones, fifteen percent said they’d rather snuggle up with their smartphone than with their loved ones.

Not only that, four percent said they actually used their iPhones during sex. We can only speculate as to whether they were tweeting their positions or playing Angry Birds. Maybe they were using the cameras.

Least surprising among the results was that 25 percent of respondents admitted that they “almost always” use their phones during social occasions. Based on our personal experience, we think the real numbers are much higher. Most likely some people were too busy texting to properly read the question.

But as for the 15 percent who choose to love their iPhones over loving the one they're with, we can only assume that these people are already not getting laid.
