您是否考虑过在卧室内摆放一台电视机呢？如果答案是肯定的，那最好再仔细想想--因为这样做可能会对您和您另一半的性生活造成极大的干扰。

据路透社1月17日报道，最近由一群意大利性学专家进行的一项研究调查表明，与其他夫妇相比，那些在家中卧室内摆放电视机的夫妇的性生活频率仅为前者的一半。参与此项研究的塞蕾内拉·萨洛莫尼说："如果其卧室内没有电视机的话，那么这些人的做爱次数将会翻上一番。"共有523对意大利夫妇接受了这次调查。

从该项研究的最终结果来看，那些在卧室内不摆放电视机的意大利夫妇平均每周有2次性生活，也就是说一个月有8次之多。而对于那些非要在卧室内看电视的夫妇来说，这一数字则会降至每月4次。电视机所带来的这种副作用在那些年龄超过50岁的夫妇身上表现得尤为明显，其性生活频率可由正常情况下的平均每月7次锐减至每月仅为1.5次。

通过本项研究人们还发现，某些特定种类的电视节目会在更大程度上阻碍夫妻间的激情迸发。那些宣扬暴力行为的影片会让多达一半的夫妇"性"趣全无，而真人秀节目也会使三分之一的夫妇再无那方面的冲动可言。

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.
