British sex life is declining compared with the past, according to a new study in The Lancet, a leading medical journal. The number of sex in the 16―44 age group is only 5 times per month, and the average is only 3 times a month. Compared with the beginning of the century, the sex of the British people decreased by 20%.

In this respect, the researchers have several theories to explain that the current number of people living together is less and more, the number of single housekeeping is increasing. Professor Kaye Wellings, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, says high unemployment directly leads to sexual apathy. "This phenomenon is related to people's inferiority and depression," Kaye said. So it can be said that the recession has triggered a sex crisis.
A more interesting sign is that, on the other side of the recession, commuters bring computers and smartphones into their bedrooms, blurring the boundaries between office and family. The impact is obvious: if people are checking emails after midnight, it will make it difficult for them to have time to do other things. Busy they have no time to enjoy sex. In addition, even if people are not working, they will also stare at the glowing screen to play games or to see the microblogging, still ignore the living around breathing love.
In fact, the impact is much more than that. I have already written evidence that the web world has changed our sex life. Because of the existence of internet pornography, young people are easily exposed to pornographic images or videos that they have struggled to obtain. For most people, real sex is likely to be disappointing compared to erotic shows--not giving people the same dopamine stimulation on the screen.
Meanwhile, smartphones also invade our lives in other ways. Another survey found that one-tenth of Americans used the iPhone or BlackBerry when they were having sex, a figure that doubled among young people. What do people use potential energy phones for when they're having sex? Do you take it as a camera to shoot a series of restricted-level photos of yourself? Or is there any other effect?
An online adult actor has written a high-profile microblog on Twitter, and she says in post that the relationship between people and smartphones has grown intimate. These smooth, shiny gadgets confide in the deepest desires of the people.
At the same time, she put forward a new generation of human concept-a half flesh, half electronic equipment biochemical person. It sounded disturbing, but she did realize something. She mentioned the high penetration of electronic equipment, and the dramatic decline in sexual activity in Japan, a Eve man is still a virgin, only to watch similar to the Diamond Warrior, computer games female robot, can trigger his libido.
Maybe it's a bit over here, but the internet revolution is really changing our work, our way of remembering and our family life. Why can't it change our sex life at the same time?
