SMARTPHONES make TEENS have SEX with STRANGERS Teens with internet-enabled phones will have more sex with fewer condoms, research at the University of Southern California has found. And the mobe-inspired jigjig was more likely to be with a stranger they met on the internet. Having a smartphone opened up "a risky avenue" said the researchers: finding a correlation between …
"Must be a lot of insurance claims for damaged smart phones - cant imagine its just the one guy who stuck his Iphone in a vagina, of a cow"
Well; he was having reception issues and Apple said he was holding it wrong, while friends told him that only C&^%s use iPhones anyway, so he put the two and two together...
Sounds to me like the great statistic "Most accidents happen at home" yes, because we spend most of our time at home.
"People with smart phones were 1.5x more likely to find people to diddle on the internet" yeah, because they spend 1.5x more time on the internet thanks to the smart phones.
"And the ones with smart phones were twice as likely to actually do something with the strangers they meet" of course they are. The kids with smartphones are probably the ones who got a ferrari for their 16th, while the kids with normal phones are probably the mouth breathers who wno't get laid until their 30's anyway.
Teenagers are roaring maelstroms of hormones, many of which are screaming "SEX" at them, so yes, teenagers want sex and they will look for new people to have sex with. So I don't see why "teenagers with smartphones have more sex" is remarkeable, it's the same as "teenagers who are better connected have more sex"
The lack of condom use is what should be concerning, but then again, good old US of A and it's 'abstinence-only' sex-ed classes!!
This just in, teens have sex too. (I didn't get to when I was a teen, but I tried!) Often with strangers even before smartphones and instant nudie pics. They go to parties, get drunk and bone someone, always have, always will. Adults seem to forget that 16 year olds think they are grown up and do stuff all the time that would not make their parents proud.
Sex with a stranger does not require a smartphone. Studies like this are stupid and completely ignore human nature and cultural pressures.
So LGBT kids - at school generally either firmly if precariously in the closet or at the eye of the bullying storm - show an elevated tendency to find sexual partners over the internet. Anybody surprised by this result needs an empathy transfusion pronto - we should celebrate the fact that modern kids have better and safer ways of exploring central parts of their lives than their parents ever did!
...except of course for the fall in barrier protection - too many impromptu decisions? And how should we address that?
(a) delete the internet, or at the least restrict mobile phone ownership to over 20s
(b) preach many more hellfire sermons
(c) do some decent sex ed. Make it blunt, frank, universal - and get the message across that nice girls and boys carry condoms, if not always for themselves then for their less prudent friends.
...the responsive slightly delayed pulse of the answering Tx, data windows sliding, expanding, engorging, going faster yet faster, smell of warming plastic...it all started with a little handshaking, a quick probe for responsiveness
...ah! it is just me then. Glad to have cleared that up, thanks for your help!
I was a member of match.com and I have an Android phone. I can tell you now why iPhone users have more sex: the application works on iPhone and it is impossible to download the android version. With no users able to use their match.com app on Andoid - the playing field is full of iPhone users...
I would ask anyone thinking of using match.com to use another service as they are a bunch of thieving *****! I cancelled my account and they automatically renewed it and took £30 for the pleasure. A stern talking with my credit card company and it was sorted - but that kind of underhanded business really pisses me off.
Of course, there could be other correlations here:
Do teenagers from better-off families (thus: more likely to have a smartphone) have more sex?
Do teenagers who's parents don't disciplinary them (parents who spoil their kids being more likely to give the kid a smartphone and data plan) have more sex?
Do the socio-economic leanings of the parents have an impact? (more modern-liberal parents being more likely to give the kid a phone than more modern-conservative parents)
