it seems, in the Technology obsessed noughties, Making up is all about pressing the right buttons

Forget a bunch of flowers or tumbling into bed with each other, it would appear that ‘making up’ in the technology obsessed noughties is all about pressing the right buttons… According to a survey¹ released today, it seems couples too hectic to say sorry in person are increasingly turning to text (66%) or opting to ‘ping’ an e-mail instead. What is more, two thirds of us prefer text as a means of communication, especially when it comes to flirting. Linking into this ‘virtual reconciliation’ trend and the fact that psychologists believe that non verbal communication is often easier, is 84Luv (84588), a new service which claims to help solve any relationship or sexual problem, by offering professional and confidential help and advice at the touch of a keypad.

Set up by Paula Hall, renowned Accredited Sexual and Relationship Psychotherapist, 84Luv (84588) is a text messaging and email service which gives consumers access to personalized advice from trained professionals 24/7/365. It’s simple, all you need to is text 84Luv or log-on to 84LUV.com. Recognizing the need for fast, factual and accessible information 84Luv(84588) provides up-to-date and accurate information for a range of problems from conflicting views on bringing up children and the impact of work on relationships to worries about sex or sexual health.

Findings from the research revealed over 50% of couples experience sexual problems, the top five most common problems are:

• Loss of libido (38%)
• Difficulty reaching orgasm (18%)
• Experiencing painful intercourse (18%)
• Erection problems (17%)
• Ejaculation difficulties (9%)

For couples who complain that technology gets in the way of their relationship, the top six reasons for a break up are:

• Either partner spending too much time surfing the net (31%)
• Playing computer games rather than being attentive to an attention starved partner (27%)
• One half absorbed in texting sessions, rather than talking to you (12%)
• Refusing to switch off from work mode and switch on to family mode by keeping the work mobile on in leisure time (9%)
• Talking on MSN instead of talking to each other (7%)
• Draining your partners patience as well as the money pot with mammoth on-line shopping sprees (5%)

Says Hall, “With over 12 years experience, I know first hand how difficult it can be for people to find the time and the courage to ask for help concerning sexual or relationship concerns. For many, these issues are the most intimate and distressing part of their lives. Today’s frantic lifestyles leave little time to deal with even those minor relationship niggles and when left unaddressed they can develop into bigger and more entrenched problems. That’s why we’ve devised an easy to use, highly efficient and effective service that offers affordable personalised help and advice from trained experts simply by logging-on to 84Luv.com or tapping 84Luv (84588) into your mobile”

Other interesting statistics from the survey were:

• 52% finding it easier to flirt by phone or email rather than face to face
• 52% of people in the UK complain about the amount of time partners spend on their mobile or surfing the net
• women are 2x more likely than men to use text to flirt
• Londoners are the shyest flirters with less than 50% feeling comfortable with sexual innuendo in a face to face situation

So, for expert advice on any relationship or sexual problem, simply pick up your mobile and text 84Luv (84588) or log-on to 84Luv.com. It is the modern day answer for men and women across the UK who are looking for advice at their fingertips.
