Netflix Is Killing Couples’ Sex Lives, Study Finds

netflixandchillWhile the expression “Netflix and Chill” used to be code for casual sex, it might have taken on a more literal meaning. New research suggests that couples are getting into bed to watch shows on their iPads, instead of getting it on. “A study by researchers at Lancaster University in the UK reveals that the busiest hour for internet use is now between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m., driven by those watching streaming services such as Netflix, iPlayer and YouTube,” reports NY Post.

Evidence from nearly 400 devices shows that viewers are prolonging the “traditional” hours of TV watching, to the detriment of their sex lives. A University of Cambridge professor warns that the research supports his theory that couples are less interested in sex because they watch more TV in bed. In 2016, he blamed figures showing falling rates of sex on the “mass of connectivity” we have now “compared with just a few years ago when the TV used to close down at half past 10.” Netflix and Chill—more like Netflix and Kill (Sex).
