I want you to picture the scene. You have a woman sleeping next to you in your bed. It might be your long term partner, whom you share every night with, it might be the girl you only met yesterday at the local dyke bar. Either way, you've had a fun night of frolics and have spend glorious hours of sleep spooned together in sexual exhaustion. Now morning has arrived and light streams through the curtains, stirring you both from pleasant dreams.
The woman beside you mutters a good morning, then begins to reach across you. You think maybe she's still frisky and was so impressed with your sexual prowess she wants a second helping. Maybe she wants a hug to share in some final intimacy and morning chatter before you both get up. But wait...
it's none of those things as she reaches over and grabs... her mobile phone. And it's not just any phone either, it's an iPhone, Android or Blackberry. You hide your disappointment, knowing what this means.
I've noticed a new phenomenon seeping into the lesbian bedroom that is the new threat to cuddles, intimacy, morning sex and breakfast conversation. With mobiles more akin to mini computers, our friends and on-line life are now ever present in the bedroom with us. Even whilst getting down to it, the beeps and chimes from our little handheld devices tell us we've got incoming messages and texts from a world going on around us, pulling us away from the moment.
Morning arrives and the girl next to you is now responding to that world that's been waiting. Conversation is non existent with you, except may be your astrological stars for the day from an app she's got. You may be lying there naked, but the hand sized device is the one getting touched and fingered.
Even after getting through the texts and messages, she's now checking out Facebook - "oh", she tells you. Her mates have littered her wall apparently. "They're all meeting up for Sunday lunch in an hour". Better get up she informs you with a quick peck on the lips as she leaps out of bed.
