A variety of household electronic devices have become an indispensable part of life. However, while people enjoy modern life, they are also increasingly concerned about their impact on health. On March 31, the MSNBC website of the United States wrote an article, treating television, computers, mobile phones, etc. as invisible "third parties" and "watching them depriving us of our sex, but there is nothing we can do about it."

Want TV but not sex

At the beginning of this year, a British survey shocked many people: half of British men said they were willing to sacrifice sex for half a year. to get a free 50-inch plasma TV; and 75% of men claimed that if they had to choose between chocolate and sex, the former would be more tempting. Earlier, an Italian sexology expert surveyed more than 500 couples and came to similar results. He found that couples who watched moderate amounts of TV before going to bed had sex twice a week on average; those who watched TV for a long time before going to bed had sex significantly less often. The National Sleep Foundation also stated that addiction to television programs is the main reason for the severe decline in sexual desire in one-quarter of Americans.

This all shows that watching TV in the bedroom can significantly reduce people's interest in sex. Especially watching movies and TV shows with ups and downs of plots or nostalgia and sadness before going to bed will make people overly excited, and their minds will be filled with TV images, making it even more difficult to calm down and enjoy sex.

Electronic devices affect sexual function

Many studies have pointed out that excessive human exposure to electronic devices, especially mobile phones and laptops, may affect male sperm The quantity and quality of food increase the risk of the fetus suffering from various diseases and even reduce people's sexual interest.

Multiple medical surveys also show that the longer a cell phone is used, the lower the number and activity of male sperm. Animal experiments show that mice exposed to electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones for more than 6 hours a day will have sperm cells mutated, the central nervous system will be suppressed, and male erectile function and female sexual arousal will be impaired.

The famous American "Answer" research organization stated on March 31 that 63% of people in the United States also use mobile phones for a long time when going to the toilet. 37% of Americans regularly use computers in their bedrooms. A recent report from a British research institution also shows that 8 out of 10 people in the UK use computers or mobile phones before going to bed, and 1/3 of people are used to sending and receiving text messages or emails while lying in bed; these people also said, As long as you have your mobile phone and computer with you, you can go without communicating with your loved one for a long time. Sexologists from both countries have pointed out that the use of computers and mobile phones will promote anxiety, make people pay too much attention to the information coming from mobile phones or computers, distract people from sex, and ignore the heartfelt desire for sex of the person next to them. .

Change starts with self-control

Although modern electronic products have many negative effects on sex, American sexology expert and MSNBC staff writer Brian ·Alexander proposed that it is people's own choice to be burdened by electronic devices.

There is a British proverb, "A husband who watches sports reports at breakfast will definitely ignore his wife." In this case, the effect of the husband reading the newspaper is similar to using electronic devices, which is to neglect his lover. Alexander believes that there is no "good or bad" issue in high technology itself. The key is how people use it and learn to control their behavior.
