The New Phone Sex
PHONE SEX
(it ain't what it used to be)
Everyone knows what phone sex is, right? It's been around forever. From the get-go Alexander Graham Bell would've surely been making heavy-breathing calls back in his lab in 1876. Subsequently phone sex morphed into Internet sex, and more recently into smartphone sex.
The other day I read an article that tickled my fancy and by association it led me to the subject. So I delved in, albeit from an oblique angle. Wikipedia offers us a boilerplate definition:
"Phone sex is a conversation between two or more people by means of the telephone which is sexually explicit and is intended to provoke sexual arousal in one or more participants. As a practice between individuals temporarily separated, it is as old as dial telephones, on which no operator could eavesdrop. In the later 20th century businesses emerged offering, for a fee, sexual conversations with a phone sex worker."
The above definition is fine as far as it goes, however, after reading the results of a recent poll telephone sex has taken on new meaning. In a survey with a large sampling (sorry I can't remember the source) forty percent of the respondents admitted to regularly using their smartphones during sex. I guess one has to stay connected in more ways than one these days.
You might find this mildly disconcerting. However, from my point of view, we should be reassured that there exists a steadfast cohort of resisters who've remained unscathed from the relentless assault of EDCs (endocrine disrupting chemicals) and are still engaging in the physical act itself. Not to worry, she’ll be right, soon the strenuous, smelly, futile practice of copulation will be abandoned since fertilization through any means other than a test tube will no longer be viable. By the grace of God humanity continues to advance by leaps and bounds through the marvels of technology.
