Social networking leads to sex faster: Survey

Nearly 80 pc women and 58 pc men surveyed by a US mag feel social media tools lead to sex faster

NEW YORK: Facebook, texting and other social networking tools make new couples to jump into bed faster, reveals a new US survey. According to the third annual sex survey by Shape and Men’s Fitness magazines, nearly four out of five women and three of five men say that digital intimacy leads to having sex faster, reports a foreign news agency.
   However, only 38 per cent of women said they have actually slept with a date any sooner because of online intimacy.
   Smart phones and laptops are the new toys that lead to the bedroom, it said, with nearly 80 per cent of women and 58 per cent of men saying social media tools leads to sex faster. Moreover, texting is the topmost way lovers keep in touch, with men texting 39 per cent more often than calling and women 150 per cent more.
   As many as 65 per cent of those polled said they had been asked out by text and 49 per cent through a Facebook message.
   And as soon as the relationship clicks, 72 per cent of women reported scouring a current partner’s ex-girlfriends’ Facebook pages.
   Even in the heat of passion, some people just can’t get enough of their digital devices, the survey found. When a call or text comes in during sex, five per cent of respondents said they glance to see who is calling and one per cent said they stop to answer the phone.
   And when the spark is extinguished, digital dumping is the new way to break up, with 43 per cent of women and 27 per cent of men reporting getting a text along the lines of “It’s not you, it’s me.”
