Um... have you ever texted during sex? Would you?
I haven't, and I can't imagine feeling compelled to, but then again
Jennifer Connelly reads and shops online during sex so, uh, I guess anything is possible.
10% of Under 25s Think It's OK to Text During Sex

10% of Under 25s Think It’s OK to Text During Sex
Oh dear. From the “there’s never been a better time to worry about the future of civilization” department comes the disturbing news that one in 10 people under the age of 25 deem it perfectly OK to send SMS messages during sex. It certainly adds new meaning to the term “sexting.”
A recent survey by consumer electronics shopping and review site Retrevo uncovered the disturbing statistic along with a few other generation gap metrics, including that the under 25 demographic is far more likely to think it’s OK to text during meals or while in the bathroom — something Charmin would surely approve of.
We all know multi-tasking even in social situations is becoming more culturally commonplace, but are there limits? If there are, it looks like they aren’t in the bedroom: a whopping 76% of millenials report checking Facebook or Twitter after getting into bed at night and/or before getting out of bed in the morning.
What do you think: Are there situations where we should be drawing the line? When is it not appropriate to be text messaging or social networking?

What about the other things mentioned in the survey? Do you text/etc during meals? In the bathroom? Before/after sleep?
I don't often use my phone before or immediately after sleep, but I can see how that might change once I upgrade to the HTC Evo 4G this summer. Texting during meals is something I have done on occasion, but I don't think it's a very mindful use of one's time, not to mention it's rude if there are other people sharing the meal. In the bathroom, oddly enough, is where I see the least problem. The person on the other end (if you're texting; browsing is a solitary activity) has no idea where you are, and it's an otherwise wasted moment of the day. That said, it's still not a very mindful use of one's time: I don't necessarily live it, but I believe it's better for one's mental health to live life a little more slowly and not be multitasking at all times.
How about you?
