I have one in my bedroom, but the only time it gets turned on is in the mornings when my BF is not there, and I am getting ready for work. My BF has no TV in his bedroom.

In my 19 year marriage, yes we did. It was a ritual for us to go to bed and watch The Tonight Show. We also had a great sex life together so the tv didn't bother us at all. But I do know couples whom it does affect somehow.
My wife and I are now in our early 60s----we found that we didnt have a tv in our bedroom way back when.
As we advanced in age we placed a tv in the bedroom----we love each others company but certain drives change-----I will stop here before I get in trouble.
No. One TV is plenty enough for us. The bedroom to me is a "sacred" space. Music yes. TV , absolutely not. I would hate to have a TV in the bedroom , a place I associate with complete , pure relaxation, be it sleeping, or reading as well as the most comfy place for nookie !
To me TVs are a distraction. They have a way to suck up energy from a room, they distract and somehow entice you ( well entice Hubby anyway , ) . I am already not keen on having this hideous machine in my living room ( it had to be encased in a TV cabinet first ) and as much as I enjoy certain programmes I will never associate the bedroom with watching TV.
I am sure once it is there, it becomes part of the "furniture" so to speak, and one gives in to the temptation of watching it in bed simply because it is there and you can. I prefer not to be presented with that choice.
I am sure it would start arguments as well , with me wanting to read and Hubby wanting to watch something mindless. I prefer to opt for other "distractions" in the bedroom personally.
People who have TV in their bedroom have less sex, so, NO, we do not have a TV in the bedroom, and never plan to! So far, it's worked very well to keep the bedroom a sanctuary for sleep and sex.
This is exactly what researchers have said for a few years now.
Of course, that's a broad generalization and doesn't apply in every situation.
We do. It's lovely to occasionally go to bed early and watch a movie together snuggled up in bed, or if one of us is sick.
I guess it might get turned on once every couple of weeks if that.
We could easily live without it but we have a plasma built in in our house which was there when we moved in - the previous owners liked tvs, we also have a small plasma in the bath tub and another in the basement.
Surprisingly we use the basement one daily for P90X workouts.
They're fine now they're there, but we probably wouldn't have put them in ourselves.
