Repost from Mashable. "Survey: Cellphones vs. Sex – Which Wins? [INFOGRAPHIC]"

As one of those users who cannot live without my phone, I have done some dastardly things for the sake of getting a fix. My phone is an addiction. I've gone through church Tweeting. Driving down the highway, picking it up for no real reason just to check it. In the middle of intimate moments, I've definitely checked Words with Friends or answered a business email. SMH. I got it bad... I'm not sure what I could give up for a week over my phone.


Survey: Cellphones vs. Sex – Which Wins? [INFOGRAPHIC]

by Charlie White

It’s no secret how much most people are attached to their cellphones, but now TeleNav has released a survey showing just how willing Americans are to give up the finer things in life so they can still hang onto that handset.

Think about this hypothetical situation for a moment: What would you be more willing to give up so you could still have your mobile phone?

Not only does this infographic give you insight into mobile-device love, but it also helps you sort out general priorities as well. For instance, one third of the US population would rather give up a sex for a week than a mobile phone, but 70% were willing to give up alcohol for that phone?

Or who would’ve guessed that smartphone users had worse manners than their cellphone counterparts, with 26% of smartphone users frequently pulling out their handset at the dinner table, compared with 6% of cellphone (“featurephone”) users?

Worse (and this one’s not included in the infographic) — According to TeleNav’s survey, “Smartphone users were twice as likely as feature phone users to give up hot showers rather than their phone for one week.” Now that’s got to be love.
