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.

Of course I guess it depends on WHAT you watch on TV...somehow watching "Roseanne" probably has a more detrimental effect than "Desperate Housewives..."

If we put TWO TVs in every school classroom, would it result in total teen abstinence?

#1) I refuse to have a television in the bedroom because the bedroom is supposed to be for husbands and wives...not to watch TV in!
#2) Italian sexologist made me giggle.
To: RockinRight
Which came first, the lack of sex, or the TV?

TV in the bedroom halves your sex life - study Half as often or half as long?

Interesting question...
The idea is to cuddle up in the living room, watch a movie, then head up to the bedroom where there's no TV and entertain one another in more intimate ways...

A single male parent with a seven year old daughter in the house completely eliminates a sex life. I'd be happy with what the folks with the TV in the bedroom are getting.
To: RockinRight
On the other hand, if you see a good commercial...

TV comes with a power switch. Unless it is the superbowl, show me a man that would choose a sitcom over sex.

I think it's the women watching Lifetime that is causing the problem. Women generally don't want sex after watching "The Golden Girls" or the movie of the week about the latest battered woman...
