The accompanying graphic should appear when the iPone 4 users cruise these sexsites for hookups, or a video clip of jobs the morality police should pop up and warn these sex addicts of the possibilities of STD's and the Gift That Keeps On Giving... Herpes.

Given Apple CEO Steve Jobs' determination to keep his products squeaky clean, he might not be happy with this news.
Does the smartphone you carry help your chances with the opposite sex? According to research from dating site OKCupid.com, people who own iPhones are having more sex than those who use BlackBerrys or Android phones.
Of the 9,785 people with smartphones polled by OKCupid, men with iPhones had an average of 10 sexual partners by age 30, compared to 8.1 partners for those with BlackBerrys, and 6 partners for those with Android-based smartphones.
Among the women, iPhone owners had 12.3 partners, BlackBerry users had 8.8 partners, and Android users had 6.1 partners, on average, by age 30.
Of course, this is from a dating Web site – an area of the Internet not usually synonymous with honesty, so take those stats with a grain of salt.
The results were part of an OKCupid investigation into what types of photographs got the most positive results on the Web site. Not surprisingly, photographs taken with interchangeable lens cameras, like DSLRs, took more attractive photographs than point-and-shoot cameras, and using the flash instead of soft lighting could add up to seven years to a photograph.
What cameras took the nicest photographs? Panasonic Micro Four Thirds devices came in at number one, as did DSLRs from Canon, Pentax, Nikon, and Sony. Not recommended – cell phone photographs – unless you're using an iPhone, of course.
The site also found positive results for photographs that had the main subject in focus, while the background was blurry.
OKCupid's conclusions sparked a fierce debate on the site, with one user named "James" insisting that iPhone users actually had less sex than the study claimed.
"It's more likely that they actually have less sex but with more people, thus exposing themselves to a risk of catching an STD," wrote James.
"[Meanwhile], people who have fewer sexual partners are likely to have a more stable, long lasting relationships (with regular sex) than their iPhone touting counterparts. [So], in essence, having an iPhone increases your change of an STD."
However, another forum participant known as "Kimberly" concurred with OKCupid's rather disturbing findings.
"Apple is known for having a customer base made up largely of artistic types; photographers, videographers, graphic designers and so forth.
"That's not to say all iPhone users are artistic. [But] if you compare iPhone's customer base to Android's, android tends to be favored by asperger types - you know, geeks who don't shower, can't look anyone in the eyes, and never kissed anyone of the opposite sex.
"Yes, [of course] I am stereotyping here but Android attracts gearheads more than the iPhone."
