CHILDREN with mobile phones have sex earlier - and more often - than phoneless friends.
Researchers found flirting with SMS messages and the "speedy contact" of mobiles led to closer and more frequent encounters.
A team from the University of Oslo in Norway studied 10,000 youngsters aged 13 to 18.
Around 60 per cent of teenagers who use mobiles a lot had sex. Only eight to nine per cent who seldom or never use mobiles, had sex.
The team found kids as young as 13 with mobiles were having full sex.
Professor Willy Pedersen said mobiles had a "substantial influence" on sexual behaviour.
"We can attribute the early sexual encounters directly to the use of mobile phones," he added.
He lumped them with internet porn sites and top-shelf magazines as influences on teenagers.
VODAFONE is barring customers from accessing porn sites through their mobiles in a move to protect children.
