Post-Sex Phone Checking Replaces Traditional Cigarette Habit

A survey of 2,126 adults reveals modern behaviors after sex have dramatically shifted from past traditions. Only 8% of current or former smokers light up following intercourse, while one in six now check their phones instead. The research found just 29% regularly engage in pillow talk after sex, with 22% saying they rarely or never do. Men are three times more likely than women to check phones immediately after sex at 13% versus 4%. Instead, 38% fall asleep and 18% clean up right away. Nearly half of casual sex participants leave immediately to avoid emotional discomfort. Despite this, 50% would feel more emotionally connected through post-intimacy conversation. (Story URL)
