Thanks to mobile phones, a fling is just a ring away

Mobile phones have created a sexual revolution in Japan, making the communication devices as much about flings as they are about rings, according to Shukan Bunshun (4/19).

Gone are the days when nervous lovers had to make calls to a family phone, running the risk of an irate relative getting on the other end of the line.

Instead, with over 100 million Japanese now using mobile phones, people can now get in touch with whoever they fancy at any time from any place, especially through the phones’ e-mail functions, which ensure 24-hour access.

“Without mobile phones, I don’t think there’d be as much infidelity going around as there is now,” a 37-year-old woman tells Shukan Bunshun.

While mobile phones have paved the way for easier starts to relationships, they have also opened the door to more blunders, as one 30-year-old woman can attest after her phone played an integral part in her having one last fling before she married. Though she used it to contact the guy she was playing around with, the woman was also in the habit of sharing her phone e-mail messages with her fiance.

“I forgot one day to wipe out an e-mail I’d received from my lover. It was a really racy mail and I accidentally showed it to my boyfriend,” she says.

A 29-year-old woman underwent a similar experience after her partner found a steamy mail from her bit on the side hinting at trying out some S&M.

“It was saying he’d tie up my arms and feet,” she says. “I couldn’t make any excuses. I told myself that I need to come up with some sort of code.” – From the Mainichi Daily News
