Is Netflix a Romance Killer?



A 2017 paper in “Archives of Sexual Behavior,” which revealed that Americans were having less sex, on average, than they did three decades ago, offered streaming video as one possible culprit.

An evening full of romance is a treasured memory
to many an old geezer, and I certainly include me!
Those nights of passion with my spouse; those were the good old days.
We didn't have the internet to tempt us with delays.

And so our fam'ly grew apace; the kids just kept a-comin'.
It was our way to keep the GNP up high and hummin'.
I guess that's 'chauvinistic' now; unpopular and trite.
But let me tell you, buddy, we looked forward to each night!

But nowadays with Netflix and those other streaming views,
couples sit around at night and wind up in a snooze.
No wonder that our birthrate is in nugatory zones,
what with ev'ryone addicted to that "Game of Thrones."
