The 10 Worst TV Shows to Come On While You’re Having Sex

In honor of the beginning of the fall TV season, we present our top picks for the most sexy-mood-destroying TV shows:

  1. Gossip Girl — Because who can possibly compete with fantasy, airbrushed sex like that? It’s enough to make your own sex life feel positively black and white.
  2. The Office — The butt-clenching stress that results from all the second-hand embarrassment makes for good comedy...but bad sex. Especially if you’re knocking on the back door.
  3. Supernanny — We guess that this show could be classified as the best contraceptive device ever, but one episode might be enough to convince you that even a condom plus two back-up methods isn’t safe enough.
  4. The O’Reilly Factor — If we need to explain this one, you need more help than we can provide.
  5. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit — Unless you’re a necrophiliac, this show really should not turn you on. Please tell us it doesn’t.
  6. The Family Guy — Because it would really suck to learn that your relationship fails the Stewie Test; i.e. is the sex more engrossing than a baby with a football-shaped head and a British accent who’s bent on world domination?
  7. Sunday Night Football and/or Dancing with the Stars and/or The Bachelor – The only thing worse than both of you wanting to watch TV instead of having sex? When one partner is really into the sex, and the other is watching TV over their shoulder…
  8. Madmen — This show makes us crave whiskey and cigarettes and equal pay for equal work, but we have yet to see an episode that has made us crave sex. Then again, we suppose some people might consider this show an excellent springboard for roleplaying.
  9. Lost — We can barely chew gum at the same time as trying to keep up with all the plot twists in this show — forget about having an orgasm!
  10. The View — Do you really want to risk any of these women accidentally becoming part of your fantasy life?

    I can agree to all except sunday night football... Both the hubby and I spend all day watching. We can concentrate on each other while it's on..and when our team's up it's even better!

    If you get distracted by what's on TV then the sex probably isn't that good anyways.

    I agree with Isha-Chan--why would anyone have the TV on while they are having sex? Seems a little odd to me.

    Why on Earth would you leave the TV on while you're having sex?

    Unless you're both watching porn while you're going at it...THAT'S always fun.

    But apart from that....pretty stupid.

    My boyfriend and I always turn off the tv when we're starting to get hot and bothered. Sex is about intimacy, connecting, and oh yeah..FUN. Having the TV on I imagine are for people who get bored while having sex so they'll have something to watch in the meanwhile.

    Haha. This really made me laugh because its happened to me. My ex and I were having some fun before our show came on and here Family Guy came on tv. It wasn't distracting or anything, except it was the episode about abstinence and they started the fad of doing it in the ear. Real disgusting yes, but it did catch us off guard. I mean it's sort of hard to stay focus on having sex when when the background is a show talking about abstinence!
