We’re all guilty of occasionally thinking about other things during sex. Maybe it’s that you’re not really into the person you’re screwing. Maybe it’s that you’re stressed out because of work, school, or family. Maybe it’s that you feel self-conscious cause you haven’t been to the gym. And I guess maybe it’s that you haven’t checked your Facebook in two hours and what if something exciting has happened?

Thinking about Facebook during sex is one thing (lame) but actually USING FACEBOOK, MID-COITUS? NO. According to Metro.Co.Uk, though, a good %5 of Brits confess to logging in to Facebook while they’re doing the deed. A survey by Durex polled a group of 2,000 sexually active folk, and the numbers are pretty grim:

Never mind answering the phone during sex – more than five per cent of British people have actually used Facebook while getting frisky in bed with a partner.

Furthermore, it seems London-based lovers are most frequently guilty of this offence… and that men are twice as likely to do it as women are.

Social media aside, over 15 per cent of people in the UK say they would answer the phone or read a text message during sex, while 20 per cent of people living in our techno-obsessed capital would.

Around 33 per cent of people say technology is now actually getting in the way of their sex life, according to research by condom brand Durex, with 40 per cent of us accusing mobiles, computers and the internet of adversely affecting our relationships.

Some 30 per cent of respondents confess their own partner has been distracted by some sort of smart device while having sex, and 60 per cent admit spending more time playing with technology in bed than playing with their partner.

I admit, sometimes I’m that jerk glued to her phone if I’m bored at a restaurant or bar or while watching TV. But the idea of logging in to see if “Caroline went to the DMV this morning” while gettin’ mah freak on? Crazy, guys. Just CRAZY. Put the phone in the other room, turn it to silent, and tune your LCD-blinded eyes to sexy time.

This weekend, pledge to be present in the moment, whether it’s at the gym or with your friends or playing between-the-sheets-Twister. No Facebook, no Twitter, no text messages. Just sex.

Happy weekend!
