Tech Hit It And Twit It
Posted by Eli Sanders on Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 3:26 PM
A new study has found that 36 percent of people under 35 admit to checking Facebook, texting, or Tweeting right after sex.The survey found that guys are twice as likely as women to use social media after sex, and that iPhone users are three times more likely to check Twitter or Facebook after "doing the deed" than Blackberry users.
I think I just became three times more likely to sleep with a Blackberry user.

Yes, but how does this reconcile with people who step out for a smoke after fucking and in outside-alone-smoking boredom whip out the celly and check in on their fake life? I think that a fair degree of these people can attribute the habit more to time-filling than to outright narcissism.

I think you've misinterpreted the numbers.
The hidden truth here is that Blackberry users just don't have much sex.

well it's not considered kinky in this day and age to use your ifuk to facebook someone, butt twittering with your blackberry is still thought exotic by some...

People use social media after everything these days. And everything includes things like sex, taking a dump, doing the laundry, etc. And iPhone users tend to be obsessed with their iPhones, a super fancy, cool toy. Surprise, surprise. These findings are not profound.
Now, a study that reveals how social media has changed the nature of our interpersonal relationships and created a reliance on technology as a means for intimacy when there never before was one, would be a much more fascinating topic to explore.

I'll take "bullshit" for $500, Alex.
That's some study. What does "after" mean, anyways? If I checked Facebook just now, and I last had sex in 1979, that's "after", right?

What does "right after" mean? Like 10 minutes after you've kicked them out of your apartment? Or like sorry I won't cuddle, I need to update my FB status to "Getting laid"?
13
ok I admit it, it was 25 minutes ago, but I had to drive home. I still internet the old fashioned way
15
These study conducters realize that what the other 64% do right after sex is roll over and fall asleep, right?
17
my brother once texted my dad and dad texted back, "getting laid, call you later"
that's messed up
that's messed up

I don't tweet right after sex, but on the rare occasion I get some, I do run down the street high 5-ing the neighbors screaming "GOAL!"
