back to article iPhone users get more sex than Android fans

When it comes to getting laid, put your Blackberry back in your hip holster and don't get caught touching an Android. The iPhone gets results. iPhone users are getting more sex then their counterparts on RIM or Google devices, with women iPhone users getting more action than their male counterparts. Women iPhone users are …

    Rule of three

    Does this survey take it into account?

    Have huge amounts of lead entered the UK water system?

    Brain damaged or what?

    For a second I thought this b*llshit was spouted by phones4u again. No, it's OKCupid. I see. So you've just wasted 5 mins of my life on article thats pure crap.

      Obviously!

      Why do you let your obvious feelings of inferiority towards us British get the better of you so often?

      You really are a pathetic little attempt at a man, aren't you?

      Don't blame Reg; they got it from CNET (USA)

      And CNET drew the same asinine conclusion:

      "Study: iPhone grippers have more sex than Android clutchers"

        No we didn't!

        The source for this silly survey released in the silly season is OK Cupid, not CNET.

          Then you independently parrotted CNET's and OK Cupid's' unfounded inference?

          that more partners = more sex? Though CNET readers had pointed out the fallacy? The more's the shame.

    And who do you believe

    Or perhaps it's more of a case of Iphone users are more willing to "say" they have sex more regularly because in actual fact they are sad, lonely fanboys. Whereas Android users don't give 2 hoots about some report and just tell the truth.

    Then again...

    Maybe what this means is, if you have an iPhone, you spend so much time playing with it, that you can only have one night affairs. Lots of them. He/she dumps you right after, when , instead of cuddling with him/her, you grab your iPhone.

    An android user, on the other hand, gets to keep his/her sexual partner. And still bang a lot. But with the same person :)

    If not having an iPhone means not getting laid then

    I for one consider it a bargain.

    Interesting

    My line manager keeps on about her iPhone and how it's wonderful etc, trying to get me to justify my Android.

    Dear LM, you are officially sluttier than me.

    Hold on

    Only problem is the iPhone 4 owners have to grip it in a special way or no result.

    Not an SLR

    The Panasonic Lumix micro-4/3 cameras may be inter-changeable lens but they are not Single Lens Reflex.

      Thanks for that.

      Bet you don't even get laid as much as a Blackberry owner

    10 sexual partners for men with an iPhone.

    You could sleep with 10 prostitutes for the price of an iPhone 4 on contract.

    Granted, for that money the women wouldn't be too "fresh". You'd probably have to do it on a dirty mattress while her prospective clients watched, shooting up heroin and whipping you with a length of surgical tubing.

    Probably Better If

    they said that peolpe who sleep around more also tend to blindly follow fashions.

    I bet about 50% of the "partners" were had before the iPhone came out.

    I had an iPhone, got very little, then got an HTC Hero and got a lot more. Mind you that may have been sympathy sex. I've since replaced it for a Nokia and am still getting plenty :)

    Hmmmmm - What was the question they asked?

    Marketeer: Excuse me Madam! I notice you are using an iPhone. If you don't mind me asking you this question, have you have been screwed by Steve Jobs?

    Madam: Yes!!!

    what does.it say about their partners?

    If the select their partners based on having an iPhone or not?

    Really?

    I swapped my old iPhone 3G for an Android last year so does that now mean I'm finally settling down?

    In any case, I've had more phones than iPhone girls have had guys.

    Just need to add up my Nokia's, Motorolas, Ericssons, Sony Ericssons, iPhones and Androids together and you might be able to work out just how much sex I've had.

    Playmobil construction...

    or this survey never took place!

    Can any useful info be gleaned from this? Why, yes...

    That's an interesting chart, but I'm not sure what it means. While the difference appears to be statistically significant, it's possible to draw differing conclusions...

    Since the chart indicates number of sexual partners, and not necessarily frequency, it's not necessarily a metric for who's getting laid most often, but more cloesly related to who's more likely to give it up on short notice.

    So will buying a iPhone help get you laid? Perhaps not. While it does have it's appeal as a status symbol in some circles, it will probably take more than that to close the deal.

    It's a known quantity that iPhones are popular with people who find trendy stuff important, and Androids are popular with geeky types, so I'm sure that skews the result... the trendy types are most likely more into going out and being social, and thus collecting more conquests...

    Or perhaps hos just prefer iPhones...

    But one bit of useful info can be gleaned - as closing time is approaching and it's time to make that last ditch effort, look for the skank tying to drunk dial on her iPhone...

    Exaggerating?

    It does seem a little odd that the gadget users that have most sexual partners are Panasonic SLR owners... especially considering Panasonic don't actually make any SLRs.

    new model

    It's obvious Iphone users have to get the latest shiney model as soon as it comes out, if its 3 months old it is past it. If it apllies to phones it applies to partners.

    The article may be a load of bollocks...

    ...but the comments are a fascinating sociological study in contemporary attitudes about sex, complete with the requisite slut-shaming, assumptions about fidelity, and speculation about partner selection criteria.

    The original OK Cupid correlation is utterly worthless, but the comments here are pure anthropological gold.

    Number of partners

    Um...current...or total? If current, that’s a little high. If total, those are some depressingly low numbers. Especially by 30.

    Wrong conclusion

    All this study really shows is that iPhone users are more enthusiastic imbibers down at the pub...

    I have owned a Panasonic XB70 for 11 years.

    During which time I have had sex 4,685,237

    ALL originating from 1,

    Even now the hurds of tinkering nerds are looking at ways to put down the iPhone...Maybe if they focus on their own pathetic lives and stop tinkering they realise there is a world out there ;-)

    Put down an iPhone?

    Jean-Paul - You appear to have a light grasp on the concept, old boy...

    Here's how you put down an iPhone...

    Place it on the floor

    Remove your hand,

    then take a mallet to the damn thing.

    Easy.
