The Gadgets that Get Us Off
These connected gadgets are so sexy and shiny that some would give up sex for them

Gadget_sex_intro_shTwenty percent of Americans admit that they spend less time having sex because they are online, according to a survey conducted by advertising agency JWT.

Say what?

That was our reaction, but it turns out many would choose to spend time with their connected gadgets rather than engage in sexual activity. (Check out our investigation here.)

Take Paul. He admits that he chose his new, just out-of-the-box BlackBerry Pearl over having sex with his girlfriend who was clad in black lingerie. “At the time, the sex had to wait. The BlackBerry was all that was on my mind,” he said. Turning down a sexual experience to spend time with a gadget or on the Net seems crazy, but certainly not unheard of.

This begs the question: What gadgets make us give up the big O? Here at LAPTOP, we’ve taken a look at some of today’s hottest hardware and assessed their sexual fulfillment. In our opinion, no device is worth giving up the ultimate pleasure, but we found eight that made us think twice.
