Seriously folks, you can't make stuff like this up. Researchers claim that we are having less sex because we are binge watching Netflix. Oh yeah, before I forget, binge watching TV also leads to depressions and chronic disease. So much for your plans to binge watch Family Guy. :(

In the 1990s, says David Spiegelhalter, a professor and statistician at Cambridge University, couples had sex about five times per month. Today it's down to three — and Spiegelhalter says binge watching is partially to blame. (In fairness, he also points to people's obsessions with their phones and other digital distractions.) A seeming combination of obsessive watching of shows and the ensuing lack of sleep results in a lowered libido.
 
Hah, jokes on them I stopped having boners long before Netflix. :p
 
That is total bullshit. I've gotten way more sex with Netflix than I did before -- it's the perfect excuse to get a girl to lie in the bed with you.

These dudes need to up their game.
 
Is one depressed so they watch TV or does one become depressed from watching too much TV?
 
If I'm binge watching Netflix, I probably don't have any use for an erection anyway.
 
Ok then, fuck Netflix, I will have sex instead............

Ok, all done, back to Netflix.

Honestly, I can see the point. Though I do not just blame Netflix. We have a ton of distractions these days we just did not have in years past. There is only so much time in a day, so I suppose that anything that distracts you from sex could reduce your sexual encounter count. However, things that to some degree or another replace, or substitute, for sex, things like porn, are likely far more to blame for less nooky nooky time than Netflix.
 
Binge watching Netflix leads to binge watching xnxx, leads to.. everyone knows that.

There are not enough shows worth not interrupting on anything. Really.
 
Well, for one thing binge watching does not effect my boners, they come and go at will. As for binge watching vs sex, the perfect solution is to just find a partner who does not mind all of the work, or better yet alternate. When one is is watching a show the other does not care for for, then the one who doesn't like it gets to do the work. I mean come one, 2 birds with one stone.

I'd honestly have to question how much they wanted to have sex with each other in the first place. When I'm with someone and we both want to have sex, chances are we'll find a way to make it happen. Even when there are very interesting things happening, like a new season of Daredevil.
 
Didn't have to read much past this:

"There's not a lot of hard clinical data on binge watching to date. Most psychologists and researchers haven't had time to do long-term surveys."

It is definitely true that if we didn't have any distractions we would have more sex. Hell, I'm sure the invention of the light bulb had a massive effect on the amount of sex people where having.

They chose to pick on binge watching for this article because it's trendy. They could have picked phones, TV (in general), books, electricity, etc. and it would have been equally true.
 
I like articles like this. Makes me feel great about myself. Not only do I binge watch Netflix, I watch it with my wife. 2 for 1. AND, I'm having sex a lot more than their figures indicate. Married 18 years, I'm 41, we binge watch TV shows...
 
So sitting around and not doing anything is bad for you? You don't say...
 
Before the invention of electricity people had a lot more sex than they did in the 90's. I think the frequency is proportional to how bored people are.
