Yesterday CBS did a feature on how technology is destroying sex lives and marriages because people refuse to leave it outside the bedroom.
Even I, as an advocate for using tech as a Force For Good in the realm of relationships, know that there are limits. Of course you don't use sex-tech all the time. Of course you don't bring your work – and it's not the laptop, the cell phone, or the Blackberry that's the problem, is that you're bringing your work into the romantic space – with you to bed unless you and your mate agree ahead of time that's a work time but you're going to do it while playing footsie in bed.
I suppose you could pretend you don't have work on your mind while you're cuddling and having sex, and that's less intrusive than having the computer on, but still. When your job or your recreation or your attachment to your mom or your online love affair starts making your partner unhappy, well, you better open your eyes and decide where your priorities lie.
