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 programs 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.

You are such a pack of cynics.

Doesn't the musical tones of Petticoat Junction or Ripley's Believe it or Not get the old juices flowing?

Who can resist Great Air Disasters or Milton the Monster? "Six drops of the essence of terror" just got me off again.

Ahhhhhhhhhh. Bedroom TV.

Personally, I just think it depends on what is on T.V.

For me the TV looses all interest when a hot body is in the bed. Just something about a warm body in my bed that just attracts my hands to it...like magnets....they just have to touch it.

WANTED: a moment when you kiss someone and eveything around you becomes hazy. And the only thing in focus is you and this person and you relize that he is the only person your suppose to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift. You want to laugh and you want to cry. Cause you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared it will all go away at the same time.
