MBAs Interrupt Sex to Check Their Blackberries

Ivy League graduates struggle to get down to business in bed

Not such good vibrations

Being “always on” interrupts the sex lives of busy MBA graduates from Ivy League schools, according to a mystery online report.

Details of the report were published on an internet medical journal and in an online press release, though it was attributed to different authors each time.

Researchers supposedly surveyed thirty anonymous MBA graduates from Ivy League universities, and found that 40 per cent of them have interrupted sex to answer their BlackBerries and other PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants).

The results also show that an astonishing 45 per cent of those surveyed prefer work-related activities, such as attending business meetings and dinners, and playing golf, to sex.

Among the research participants, 27 were men and over half were married.

But if they’re skipping sex for golf, are they having enough of it? The answers are divergent: 60 per cent say they aren't, with 25 per cent stating they’re getting way too little, and 20 per cent saying they're getting too much sex.

As for the duration of sex when they do find the time, 55 per cent say it's “just right” and 45 per cent claim it's “too short”.

With 45 per cent claiming they wished sex lasted longer, it seems that MBA students need to make time for intimacy. Turning off PDAs when it’s time for sex could be “very effective”, according to the report.

Since busy executives are tied to their BlackBerries, the authors suggest it “may not be wrong” to schedule some loving time in your BlackBerry calendar and then keeping the appointment.

The results have been deployed by the sponsor company, Pittsburgh-based DeLithe Nutraceutical, to promote its sexual performance drug Prolasta.

In the press release, the authors of the report are cited as Dr. Frank Costa of the Pittsburgh Urologic Institute and David Dato, “a college student interested in entering a top MBA graduate school.”

Neither of them could be reached for comment.

There is an iphone app that tells you how good you are in bed by analyzing the noise levels and sounds made, call me old fashioned but wtf is the world coming to!?

students i have slept with, in descending order of performance

Masters in Film - oh wow it's true what they say about artsy guys
Undergrad in business (checked phone right after) - at least knew what he was doing
MBA 1 - much inflated view of his capabilities
Economics undergrad - possibly had viewed too much porn
Economics grad - good aesthetics, sorely lacking in technique
MBA 2 (did check blackberry during) - roadkill

Ms Anonymous, you seem accessible. Are you a student loan officer or a fitness coach??

They're using the blackberries to check wikipedia - at least they care enough for some on-the-job improvement.

Unfortunately no. I'm pretty much a professional student - to my suprise successive masters in individualized study haven't helped me find my calling. i had hoped by now to progress from sleeping with students to sleeping with employed, or even unemployed guys but it hasn't worked out that way.

by the by the universities covered by my list are columbia, mcgill, harvard, bocconi, cambridge, princeton and stanford.

Ms Anonymous,

Can you please rank the performance by students you slept with from different schools? I am curious if top schools really educate on... everything.

Can you give me the names and numbers of their hot wives who don't get enough sex?

Saturday 26th September 2009, 02.42 (UTC)

I am pretty sure they ain't married yet (as they are only students) so perhaps you are asking their girlfriends' numbers?
