Fifty-nine percent also said that they, their partner or both have too much screen time, and more than half of those respondents felt their relationship suffers as a result. Seventy-two of the 2000 respondents even admitted to using phones during sex.

The results of the survey were released to coincide with brand’s #DoNotDisturb campaign, a social experiment video looking at the effect of tech and smartphones on couple’s bedroom activity while on vacation.
