students engage in sex while talking on their cell phones.

collegelife.gif Postcards from the Pug Bus writes about a new College student fad: talking on the phone while having sex - with interviews of professors debating the issue. A fun (if not entirely truthful) read.

"According to the dean of the college of education of Millersville University, we can add sex to the burgeoning list of activities that students engage in while talking on their cell phones. [via Postcard from the Pug Bus].

""We're used to seeing students talking on their cell phones while walking across campus, doing research in the library, and eating in the cafeteria," said Dean Kenyata Miller, "but the phenomenon of talking on the phone while engaging in sex is a disturbing trend. It suggests a fear of intimacy and an unhealthy reliance on peer approval."

Denise Miller, an elementary education major, disagrees.

"I don't think sex is anything to be ashamed of," said Miller. "It's something beautiful that I want to share with my friends, like telling them about a new CD or a movie I enjoyed. Besides, if I call my roommate to tell her I'm having sex right now, it avoids the embarrassing possibility of her walking in on us."

Harlan Miller, coach of the men's basketball team, warns that students who use their cell phones to film themselves while having sex "run the risk of overexposure."
