Couple have less sex and the internet is to blame.

A survey was made in the uk to find out about how many times the average British heterosexual couple get intimate under the sheet, they found out that the number had dropped from four times a month in 2000 to three times a month now. In 1990, it was five times a month.

 According to Professor David Spiegelhalter of Cambridge University, it’s the internet that is to blame.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, he suggested that our constant connectivity reduces the time couples have together.

‘We used to have a very big separation between our public lives and our private lives,’ he said.

‘Now they are so mixed up and integrated. People are checking their emails all the time. You do not have this same sort of quiet empty time that there used to be.’

Professor Spiegelhalter’s new book Sex by Numbers also includes data on the average number of partners British men and women have.

Men claim to have had 14 sexual partners while woman say they’ve had seven. However, Professor Spiegelhalter says that ‘there is a suggestion’ that men might ‘make a vague stab upwards’ while women might ‘make a vague stab downwards.’

‘When people start getting to 10 or 15, they always start getting a bit vague frankly,’ he said.                   Culled from,Metro.
