Канадское исследование: гаджеты разрушают интимную жизнь мужчин

A new Canadian survey has revealed some amusing data about the intersection between device use and sex lives. MedExpress Canada, a digital service that connects people with healthcare providers, surveyed 1,000 Canadian men about their screen habits before and during intimacy to gauge impacts on “arousal, performance, and presence.” To start, the survey found that 83 per cent of respondents have used a device or screen during sex, with 58 per cent of them saying being more likely to report performance anxiety accordingly. And while the most common forms of device/screen usage involved media playing in the background (music, TV, and/or porn), 26 per cent said they took a photo or video during sex, 15 per cent said they answered a phone call or stopped to look at a notification and 12 per cent noted they simply checked their phone in general. What’s especially funny is that these habits of interrupting sex differed depending on the device in question. For instance, iPhone users were more likely to have checked their phones during sex than Android users (15 per cent vs 10 per cent). Meanwhile, 22 per cent of PlayStation users were on their phones during sex compared to 10 per cent PC gamers. Sadly, there was no word in the survey on the screen habits of Xbox and Nintendo gamers during intercourse, but the survey did find that 45 per cent of console gamers need more stimulation than they used to in order to get aroused. This is above the 37 per cent of PC gamers who said they require the same. Overall, 29 per cent of respondents said they felt their tech habits of negatively impacted their sex lives. MedExpress says it surveyed 1,032 Canadian men throughout the year, with demographics breaking down to 47 per cent millennials, 31 per cent Gen Z, 16 per cent Gen X, and 5 per cent baby boomers.
