Are Phones Ruining Your Sex Life? New Study Reveals a Surprising Culprit in the Bedroom
Ever find yourself mid-romp, staring at your phone, thumb hovering over TikTok as if your sex life depends on a trending dance challenge? Yeah, me neither—in unrelated news, does anyone know if it’s normal for a phone to autocorrect “moan” to “mobile data”? All kidding aside, I have to wonder: When did scrolling through memes become more vital than, you know, actual human contact? According to a new Georgetown study (and honestly, some deeply concerned pillow talkers everywhere), Americans might want to—brace yourself—set the phone down during sex . Intrigued? Mortified? Just hoping someone finally settles the “phone or partner” debate? Either way, this research dives right into the heart (and, ahem, other parts) of our digital devotion—and the findings are spicy, awkward, and perhaps the jolt we needed before our love lives slip into airplane mode for good.

WASHINGTON—Shedding light on the negative effects of excessive screen time, a new study from Georgetown University published Thursday found that most Americans would benefit from cutting down on phone use during sex. “New data suggests setting down your phone during intercourse can positively impact your life, even if it’s just for a few thrusts,” said lead researcher Dr. Barry Vekic, explaining that all the short dopamine bursts people get from scrolling social media or playing games during coitus can permanently alter the joy receptors that are triggered when one’s genitals are being stimulated in real life. “Volunteers in the study who underwent a digital detox in favor of participating in sociable activities like eye contact and dirty talk during lovemaking reported feeling 75% more satisfied with their orgasms compared to those who remained on TikTok through the point of climax, clean-up, and beyond. We also found a much higher rate of general well-being and increased self-esteem among those who used the time they might have spent on their phones while fooling around more constructively, accomplishing tasks from their to-do list mid-bang instead of browsing.” Vekic added that before smartphones, the average adult spent only about one hour on their device while having sex per week, often opting for healthier cognitive processes like reading a book or crocheting a sweater while receiving oral, manual, vaginal, or anal pleasure from their intimate partner.
