Social media addiction hurting young Indians’ sex lives...

Is sending 'kisses' on WhatsApp or posting intense love emojis on Facebook to your spouse replacing the real act between the sheets? It would seem so, according to leading experts on sex and behavioural sciences.

According to them, many young and working couples in India are now getting hooked on to smartphones and tablets, even in the bedroom, and this is having a paralyzing effect on their sex lives.

Digital intimacy, it would seem, has diluted the physical connection between sexually active partners.

"There has been a sudden surge in young couples, especially working professionals, who come to me for consultations after facing weak sexual desire owing to social media addiction that gobbles up night hours," says Dr Prakash Kothari, the nation's leading sexologist based in Mumbai.

 Kothari told IANS that at present he is counselling 20 young couples "who blame late-night social media snacking for their low sex drive." Kothari is the founder professor of the departments of sexual medicine at KEM Hospital and Seth GS Medical College, both in Mumbai. Full story...
