Never mind answering the phone during sex – more than five per cent of British people have actually used Facebook while getting frisky in bed with a partner.

Furthermore, it seems London-based lovers are most frequently guilty of this offence… and that men are twice as likely to do it as women are.

Social media aside, over 15 per cent of people in the UK say they would answer the phone or read a text message during sex, while 20 per cent of people living in our techno-obsessed capital would.

Around 33 per cent of people say technology is now actually getting in the way of their sex life, according to research by condom brand Durex, with 40 per cent of us accusing mobiles, computers and the internet of adversely affecting our relationships.

Some 30 per cent of respondents confess their own partner has been distracted by some sort of smart device while having sex, and 60 per cent admit spending more time playing with technology in bed than playing with their partner.

Durex quizzed 2,000 adults as part of the study into how technology is impacting on our sex lives.
