The iPhone has changed our lives in countless ways. We never get lost anymore, we can see our loved ones who are on the other side of the world, we can Google anything from anywhere, and we no longer have to wait until 6 o’clock to hear the latest news from the world. But one of the most noticeable changes for adults has been to their sex lives. Whether it’s for the better or for the worse, there’s a noticable difference between the sex lives of the past and that of our new, technologically advanced lifestyles.

Our Sexperts have looked into the ups and downs we’ve seen since the iPhone broke onto the market, and it’s obvious that the Apple product has both hindered and helped our lives.

iSex Pro: We’re more educated on sex as a whole.

Studies from Washington University have shown that apps like the iKamasutra and iPositions have given the general masses easy access to knowledge about sexual health, lifestyles, and new ways to spice up bedroom life. Because people can now learn about sex in a discrete and intimate manner, they’re more likely to seek answers to questions they would have otherwise been to embarrassed to ask. The Washington study showed that the average adult is nearly twice as sexually educated than people of the same age and lifestyles a decade ago.

iSex Con: It’s lowered our standards.

We all expected technological advances by 2012, but who knew those advances would actually lower our standards when looking for a match? A survey taken of 30-year-old smartphone owners showed that people who own iPhones have had more partners since purchasing their phones than people with other devices. Just how many more? The average iPhone user has 12.3 partners. The average Android user just 6.1.

iSex Pro: We can discretely bring our sex on the go.

In 1990, the NYPD had nearly 230 reports a month from residents making complaints that people had inappropriate material in public places– AKA people were whipping out their copies of Playboy while riding the A Train. In 2011, less than 10% of that original number is made in calls to the department, but experts say more people than ever are looking at porn in public. So how are they getting away with it? Thanks to the iPhone, people can take their viewing with them anywhere they go. That might sound creepy to some, but experts say that the ability to have mobile access to sexual images is actually decreasing impotency conditions like ED by nearly 20%.

iSex Con: It’s vastly increased the number of ‘accidental’ nude pictures.

Before we had devices in which we could instantly see the pictures we’d take, only the extreme risk takers would take nude photos. But now that we can snap a pic, judge its worth, and have the choice to delete it and take another if it’s bad without having to worry about wasting $10 on film each time, it seems like more and more people are willing to take nude shots to send to their partners. Last year alone, there were nearly three quarters of a million complaints made to the police from Americans who found their nude photos post online without their consent.

iSex Pro: You can now bring a vibrator on the go.

Nothing would be more embarrassing than having someone find your vibrator at the bottom of your purse, but thanks to the iPhone, that will never happen again. The Apple Store promotes several apps that can turn the vibration of your phone on full blast so you can use it as a sex toy and have your friends be none the wiser.

iSex Con: The iPhone has destroyed the after glow.

Despite all the advantages that come along with owning an iPhone, there’s one major downfall that’s seen by nearly every iPhone user: The post-sex intimacy issue. North America has become so addicted to their smartphones that the average person only waits 4 minutes after intercourse to check their device. As small as that number is, it seems even more insignificant when being compared to the 1.2 hours post-sexual boding time would last in 2001.
