Netflix, smartphones may ruin your sex life

Live Mint  

Mumbai: “Netflix and chill"—the viral catchphrase that is often used as a euphemism for casual sex—seems to suggest that watching soaps and sex complement each other. But a new National Bureau of Economic Research research paper by Adrienne Lucas of the University of Delaware and Nicholas Wilson of Reed College suggests that screen time can be detrimental to sex lives.

Such recommendations may appear a bit far-fetched but the connection between screen time and sex life deserves more scrutiny and research.
