I Hate You
An Italian sexologist did a study and concluded that having a TV in the bedroom cuts your sex life in half. I was floored. The study says that the married couples surveyed that did not have a TV had sex 8 times a month, while couples with a TV had sex 4 times a month. Are you fucking serious? 4 times a month?!? And this is among the under-50 crowd! Over 50 drops to 1.5 times per month for couples with TVs.
Is this seriously what people have to look forward to in a marriage? I hear from my married friends (guys mostly) that there's a substantial drop-off in activity once you slip those rocks onto a girl's finger. But I don't understand why that is.
Granted, I am well aware that there is a whole lot more to marriage than sex. Tons more. I would even go so far as to say that sex isn't in the top 2 priorities in a marriage (holy shit, did Chris really just say that?). But the 35-year old mind in my 24-year old body cannot comprehend "being intimate" with your spouse a mere two times a week. That's completely ridiculous.
Now, I will say this. What if you and your partners watched erotic shows on your TV? I bet that would increase your sex life. And then, what if you put a fish tank in your bedroom? Well, that might just freak her out (this is an inside joke to 2 people). But I would argue that the mere presence of a TV is probably not the cause of the decline. Maybe the Italian guys were just really hairy and their wives just weren't attracted to them anymore. There must be other reasons for the drop-off. This Italian study is flawed.
Logan and I have decided to start our own consulting firm. I am working on the incorporation papers this week, and TDD, Inc. will formally launch operations on February 1st. We will service individuals and small groups.

did it ever occur to you that maybe it's the guys who want it less? I think guys get tired of plowing the same field all the time so maybe they are just not giving it up at home. Maybe their plowing the secretary's field instead.;-)
I don't think a TV in the bedroom is the problem. I think it is all the damn stress of having a JOB!! I just think people have to get their priorities straight in life, sex is essential :) and people start taking life too seriously and forget to have fun. I am married and the reason I think my marriage works so well is because we can still laugh and joke like we did when we dated. The only reason "activity" would ever decrease is because we are a part because of our jobs or working late hours, not the TV. Working sucks :) Sex is wonderful, and true love makes it that much better.
a TV in the bedroom can do more harm than good...if you and your sig-o are really into a program, the only 'sexy time' is during commercials!
