The world’s leading sexual wellbeing brand has released an honest yet moving video with couples discussing how technology has affected their relationship. Durex is reminding us that improving our sexual relationships could be as easy as turning off our phones or tablets…
A survey conducted found that 40% of participants had delayed sex because of technology, and a third had answered their phones during sex (!). See the video here:
In response, Durex have created a smartphone app that synchronises our phones to sleep together, so we can too. At agreed times or by spontaneous agreement, the app will simply mask your phones’ home screen, removing all distractions.
