TV in the bedroom halves your sex life - study

ROME (Reuters) - Thinking of buying a TV for the bedroom? Think again -- it could ruin your sex life.

A study by an Italian sexologist has found that couples who have a TV set in their bedroom have sex half as often as those who don't.

"If there's no television in the bedroom, the frequency (of sexual intercourse) doubles," said Serenella Salomoni whose team of psychologists questioned 523 Italian couples to see what effect television had on their sex lives.

On average, Italians who live without TV in the bedroom have sex twice a week, or eight times a month. This drops to an average of four times a month for those with a TV, the study found.

For the over-50s the effect is even more marked, with the average of seven couplings a month falling to just 1.5 times.

The study found certain programmes are far more likely to impede passion than others. Violent films will put a stop to sexual relations for half of all couples, while reality shows stem passion for a third of couples.

Great. The men see this thread, and TV sets are going to be moved.

Or at least the remote is going out the window.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I've got a tv in my bedroom, yet, it's hardly ever on... and there is absolutely nothing wrong with my sex life. Guess that I'm one of the lucky ones.

They blame everything on TV. Hell, people have more sex when there is no tv- boredom sex. Yes, it happens. Look at the birth rates 9 months after major power outages.

Power outages are the best. The women have no escape, there's no more excuses, no reasons for headaches.

I wouldn't be surprised if most city-wide black outs aren't caused by husbands who just haven't gotten it often enough.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, that's a sure possibility, Grant!!!

You can just imagine the husbands all congregating outside afterwards, high-fiving one another, paying off the guy who did the dead.

I've got to start up a service like that - I could make a fortune!

I bet that you could become a gazillionaire, Grant... and, ummmmmmmm, you will need someone to manage your money, right? Good thing this sister of yours is an accountant, you know.

I told ya TV was evil
