SMS and Mobiles 'linked to teen sex'

An article in The Daily Mirror points to a study from the om the University of Oslo in Norway. In the Study 10,000 teenagers were surveyed revealing that those who use mobile technology were 50% more likely to have sex than those who weren't wired. Flirting by means of SMS and quick phone access play a part in why mobile access might be to blame.
"A team from the University of Oslo in Norway studied 10,000 youngsters aged 13 to 18. Around 60 per cent of teenagers who use mobiles a lot had sex. Only eight to nine per cent who seldom or never use mobiles, had sex. The team found kids as young as 13 with mobiles were having full sex. Professor Willy Pedersen said mobiles had a "substantial influence" on sexual behaviour. "We can attribute the early sexual encounters directly to the use of mobile phones," he added."

Do you think mobile access leads to more teen sex?

No....that's implying that just having a mobile phone induces sexual behavior among teen agers...If we didn't have mobile phones then I'm sure the study would be about something else....like teens with their own cars have more sex....or ....teens with more money have sex.....or teens who communicate with teens of the opposite sex have more sex.
I think this study is ludicrous.

bkbroil is right.
I think that the news article was published to boost sagging PPC sales.

But do you have SMS messaging? That's probably what's holding you back.
