Hey Apple, your new app is killing our sex lives

The New York Post reports:

Smartphones aren’t even 10 years old. Everybody lived without a smartphone until late into the last decade. Now they’re somehow more important than sex. Which is only the thing that keeps us going as a species.

A Durham University study this year found that people are reporting having sex three times a month, down from four times a month in 2000 and five times a month in 1990. That’s a huge decline within a single generation.

Is it a coincidence that this gigantic loss of interest in sex just happened to take place during an era when entertainment and communication options went from limited to virtually infinite? In the same survey, 40 percent of adults admitted to putting off sex to send a text, check e-mail or goof around on the Web.

Sexual activity has competition.
