As a completely unabashed hater of cell-phones and other such superficially alluring technological entrapments, it’s kind of amusing to think that there’s a connection between my somewhat archaic, semi-Luddite tendencies and the notion that eschewing such inane gadgets and technological doo-dads might appreciably enhance my sex-life. Which, I’m quite happy to report, there apparently is — so there! 🙂
