Binge-Watching Reportedly to Blame for Falling Fertility Rate According to a 2017 paper called ‘Archives<br />of Sexual Behavior,’ Americans are having<br />less sex now than they did 30 years ago. Lead author Dr. Jean Twenge believes the decline<br />in sexual activity is due to increased content and<br />decreased commercial interruptions. Dr. Jean Twenge, via ‘The Wall Street Journal’ In a survey of more than 1,000 people conducted by<br />‘The Wall Street Journal,’ one in four people have<br />turned down intimacy in favor of binge watching. Even the phrase “Netflix and chill”<br />has lost its prominence, with it’s<br />search popularity peaking in 2015. Clinical psychologist Dr. Megan Fleming<br />believes the issues stretches beyond streaming<br />and encompasses all technology. Flemings pointed out that technology demands<br />undivided attention and can make people feel<br />isolated even when they’re not alone. Netflix has released a statement denying<br />the role of their streaming service in the<br />country’s falling fertility rate. Netflix, via ‘The Wall<br />Street Journal’
