TV in the bedroom....

[SillySchnook]

The end of a marriage or a necessary indulgence when tired and living with full-time tv-hoggers?

I am resisting but DH has just put one in our bedroom since our electricity has been redone and we now (miraculously!!) have a TV point in our room.

Is the bedroom tv the nemesis of having sex? It certainly won't be involved in that before anyone gets any ideas haha.

nah!

we'd watch a tv show and got into the habit of looking forward to our evening ritual of watching tv and having a cuddle which always resulted in fun.

Sadly, it was only for a month--while our living room was being redone. We would love to have a tv back into our room.

we have a tv in the bedroom but it never really gets switched on.

The end of a marriage! I'm 100% against a TV in the bedroom. My DH works long hours in a very stressful and responsible job so often wishes he could come home and watch TV in bed- but I wont allow it. When he's in bed it should be to relax- and that should either be to sleep, read or have sex. If we had a TV in our room I would probably fall asleep and DH would just flick through the channels. Or I'd be too engrossed in a programme and ignore his advances. I like the bedroom being a technology free area and somewhere we can enjoy one another. I probably sound weirdly controlling (I promise I'm not).

Like a PP we often go to bed to watch tv and end up having sex, and it's great for weekend mornings, where Sunday Brunch with a cup of tea also often ends up in sex.

We don't have small children at home at the moment though...

Definitely not the end for us.

We've never had a TV in the bedroom as we thought it was a passion killer and our sex life completely died anyway, obviously different for everyone

We have 2 preteens in the room next door - definite passion killler - don't need a telly for that!!

Coming down to breakfast to "Eeeew - just eeewwww!" tends to dampen things for a while.... Though we do tend to have a big smoochy kiss right in front of them from time to time and that elicits the same response!

Sleep killer, most sleep experts advise against having a TV in the bedroom and reserving the bedroom for sleep and sex.
I like silence when I'm getting to sleep so would rather my husband stayed downstairs if I'm tired and he wants to watch TV, If we both want to watch TV then the sofa is more comfortable

TV never stopped us from having sex in the living room

We've always had a TV in the bedroom - I go to bed much earlier than DH and like to watch rubbishTV for half an hour before I go to sleep. He waits till I'm asleep to come to bed as he snores like a pig. To be honest it was unlikely to kill our sex life anymore than it already has been with my mother sleeping in the room below us (for the last 5 years)

We've lived together for eight years and have always had a TV in the bedroom! Not a passion killer at all, we might cuddle up for a movie and then have sex, have sex then laze in front of it, or - shock - not have it on, or have sex in the morning/middle of the night/another room.
Why would a TV kill passion? If that's all it takes to ruin a sex life, you must not be hugely passionate to start with, surely?
