Insane number of people who admit to checking social media or texting during sex

There is an insane number of people who have admitted that they check their phones during sex.

It’s up there with some of the more major faux pas you could make while getting busy but some people have shared that they have multitasked by checking social media or texting while in between the sheets.

This comes after a new survey by social media platforms Yik Yak and Sidechat has revealed just how many are guilty of this act after asking 10,000 students across 480 campuses in the US.

As reported by People, the poll unveiled that a whopping 35% of college students have admitted to checking social media during sex, while 24% revealed they had stopped having sex to text their mothers.

Meanwhile, when asked about how they met their partner, a surprising 70% revealed that they had met in person, while 29% met their significant other online.

In other news, it was revealed that a couple had sex in an MRI machine all in the name of science.

Back in 1991, Ida Sabelis and her boyfriend Jupp decided to do the deed under the watchful eye of Menko Victor ‘Pek’ van Andel, a Dutch scientist who wanted to look closer at what happens to your body during sex.

The results were published in a 1999 British Medical Journal entry, with the photographs becoming something of an iconic collection in the medical world.

Decades later, Sabelis spoke to the What Was It Like podcast about her unexpected fame and how it helped advance our knowledge of women's bodies.

Explaining how things came to be, Sabelis said: “This was one of the first MRI machines ever, so taking the photos took some time.

“There was a command from the control room to keep in position for, I don’t know, a minute.”

Referring to the whole experience as ‘hilarious’, Sabelis said how the plan for missionary had to be changed when they realized that they couldn’t fit: “Jupp and I wriggled into that machine and started doing our thing.

“It wasn’t romantic, it was more like an act of love and a performance.”

Now a professor of Organisational Anthropology at Amsterdam’s Vrije University, Sabelis looks back at the whole thing fondly. While it might not be for everyone, Sabelis reiterated: “Thankfully we didn’t get claustrophobic.”

This led to a formal study that ran until 1999 and was published in the BMJ.

All’s well that ends well, as the experiment was also something of a love story. Even all these years later, Ida and Jupp are still together.
