Electronic devices affect men’s sexual interest

　　A variety of household electronic devices have become an indispensable part of life. But while people are enjoying modern life, they are also increasingly paying attention to their impact on healthy influence. 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 sex, but there is nothing we can do about it."

　　At the beginning of this year, a British survey shocked many people: half of the British male Said that they are willing to sacrifice sex for half a year to get a free 50-inch plasma TV; 75% of men claim that if they have to choose between chocolate and sex, the former is more tempting. Earlier, an Italian sexology expert surveyed more than 500 couples and came to similar results. He found that couples who watched a moderate amount of TV before going to bed had sex twice a week on average; if they watched TV for a long time before going to bed, the frequency of sex would drop significantly. 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.

　　All this suggests 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 men sperm quantity and quality, increase fetus suffering from various disease The risk may 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 mutations in their sperm cells and damage their central nervous system. nerve The system will be suppressed, male erectile function, 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 their 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 every 10 people in the UK are sleep Before using computers or mobile phones, 1/3 of people used to lie in bed to send and receive text messages or emails; these people also said that as long as they were accompanied by mobile phones and computers, they could not communicate with their loved ones 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 husband's effect of reading the newspaper is similar to using electronic devices, which is to neglect his lover. Alexander believes that there is no question of "good or bad" in high technology itself. The key is how people use it and learn to control their behavior.
