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.

My spouse and I have never owned a TV. When asked by shocked friends "what do you do in the evenings?", we just smile.
I think TV causes negativity, lethargy and depression, regardless of what types of programming you watch.

"'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."

This drops to an average of four times a month for those with a TV, the study found. If you can guarantee me four times a month, I'll put in the TV!

Lack of sexual desire increases with obesity.
Food is the culprit.
Lean and fit couples enjoy each other far more than lumpy ones!

Who cares if it halves the sex life....as long as I get my half .
To: CROSSHIGHWAYMAN
Absolutely 100% true. However, if you take it too far, there starts to be a negative effect. Women who are obsessive about staying perfectly fit are often too neurotic to have good sex lives, and they tend to use sex as a weapon.
So I've heard...

Four times a month? So if I get a TV, my sex life will about double?
