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.

"Honey, wanna have sex, or watch "Everybody Loves Raymond?" After consulting the handy Kama Sutra illustrated desk reference, I believe there is an opportunity to accomplish both at the same time.

Those shows, along with the advice articles in Women's magazines have caused more subtle issues than people will ever realize.

Then again, when I got married, it cut my sex life in half - I think...what's half of zero?

Cause and Effect alert.
Did they stop to think that the reason for the TV in the bedroom might be the lack of sex occuring in the bedroom, and not the other way around.

A completely unscientific study, with a sample size of 1 married couple, recently found that, after getting rid of all TV in the house, 'it' went from 2-3x per week to 10-15x. Despite the small sample size, those conducting the study are eager to flesh out the long-term trend.

Wow, Doubles with no tv, then if I get rid of my TV that means I might have sex once a year.
