1 in 3 college students admit to having done this shocking act during sex

They’re phoning it in.

More than one-third of American college students say they’ve scrolled on their phone during sex.

The shocking stat was uncovered during a survey of 100,000 US students aged 18 and over conducted through the social media apps YikYak and Sidechat.

35%, or roughly 35,000 of those surveyed, admit to whipping out their device to send a quick text or watch a TikTok video while doing the deed — proof of just how screen-addicted Gen Z Americans have become.

The survey also asked the Zoomer adults other sex and relationship-related questions to gain a picture of what is happening on contemporary college campuses.

A whopping 23% of respondents confessed to having had sex with their partner while their roommate was in the room.

Meanwhile, a surprising 72% of those surveyed said they met their current or most recent partner in person. 

The survey results initially appear to contradict widespread claims that Gen Z is in a “sex recession” — however, they actually yield more nuanced and interesting insights.

Most reports about sexless youngsters actually focus on those aged 22 to 34, whereas the YikYak and Sidechat surveys focus on college-age students, usually between 18 and 22.

Many of those now aged between 22 and 34 did their college and crucial early work years remotely due to the Covid pandemic, fueling a lack of socialization and anxiety about sex.

The new YikYake and Sidechat survey indicates that a return to the in-person college experience has resulted in younger Zoomers not having the same hang-ups about sex that their older counterparts do.

Last year, the National Survey of Family Growth reported that rates of sexlessness were climbing from coast to coast among adults ages 22 to 34, with 10 percent of young males and 7 percent of their female counterparts saying they’re still virgins.

“In sum, for young adult males, sexlessness has roughly doubled across all measures over the last 10 years or so. For young adult females, it has risen by roughly 50 percent,” reported the Institute of Family Studies (IFS), which published an analysis of the study.
