Twelve percent of women use their phones during sex, according to a survey.
The “Moms & Media 2” survey was done by Meredith Parents Network, which publishes several magazines in the United States including “Parents” and “American Baby.”
A spokesperson for Meredith Parents Network told the Today website that they had wondered how such a scenario played itself out. “Unfortunately we don't have any anecdotal data about the how's or the why's.”
The behaviour comes from mothers between the ages of 18 and 35. “There is no part of their lives that is media free,” the company said in a statement.
And 21 percent of these moms use their phones in the bathroom.
Among the other findings:
•81 percent said shopping was the No 1 way they use their smartphones
•They have an average of 13 apps on their phones, and two-thirds say that fewer than half of those apps are for their kids.
•They have a “love-hate relationship with Facebook.” While more than eight in 10 moms use the social network, 72 percent are frustrated by “all of the recent Facebook changes to its format and privacy policies,” and 53 percent said they feel Facebook “wastes their time.”
“Today's moms are media omnivores,” said Carey Witmer executive vice president and president of Meredith Parents Network, in a press release.
“Controlling their voracious diet is so important to them that they are constantly creating new rules about how and when media intermingles with their busy lives via their various devices, screens and networks.”
The survey was done last November and December by Zeldis Research Associates for Meredith Parents Network. A “nationally representative sample” of moms, with children from infants to age 12, was taken, and 1,041 complete questionnaires returned. - IOL
