Are gadgets bad for your sex life?

We all have SO many gadgets - even self confessed technophobes have at least one teeny, weeny mobile phone. But is having all sorts of gadgetry in the bedroom and (I’m not talking sex toys here) bad for our sex lives? So many of my friends have a TV *at least* in the bedroom which they will watch with their boyf or hubby before nodding off, and furthermore if the telly weren’t there would you be more inclined to get down and dirty? And how many of us are guilty of sending one last tweet or Blackberry IM from the comfort of our cosy beds hmmmm. 

Should we make our boudoirs a ‘gadget free’ zone (*shudder*) or does it make no difference at all?

Tweet us what you think @girlgeekchic and we may even send you a gadget of your very own to spice things up!
