Every other minute?! I thought it was supposed to be once every six minutes? Anyway: both are false. It seems bizarre that people would take such things at face value without, you know, actually questioning where the evidence is (though this is true of the `women are better at multitasking' statement also).

Well. the answer is a bit more complicated than that; but if an attractive girl is around and we haven't had sex recently, that will be all we're thinking about.

No. Unless they are diseased in the head. I am a male. I think about sex probably.... once a day, if that. Sometimes I don't think about sex all day. I have other stuff to worry about. If I am planning a series of assays to carry out or figuring out where an experiment went wrong, I don't think about sex while I'm working on the problem.

It's a complete myth that Men think about sex every minute. If we did so, we couldn't function - our very lives would be impossible to live.

I always assumed the statistic was just a clever trick.

You see, say a dude masturbates for half an hour every morning. That's 30 minutes out of his day, means he spends 1 in every 48 seconds 'thinking about sex'.

There are few mental tasks that can be completed with the kind of interruption 'thinking about sex' every minute would cause. So unless every male in your life is a complete moron, then you'd be foolish to think it possible.

My mathematical proof
30 * 60 / (24 * 60 * 60) > 1/60
:. It averages to more than once every minute.

So in short. HERP DERP EXPLAIN YOUR QUESTION BETTER

That seems too unliekly, but I guess the more sexually active the individual the more likely this is to be true, but from my experiences, it is very occasionally every other minute and every other hour is a better timeframe.

But surely unexplained old derogatory stereotypes are true?

Men are all sex crazed barbarians and women are all designed for breeding right? I have a vague understanding of what the word evolution might mean, so I'll make these assumptions and cherry pick for evidence in my surroundings. That's proof right?

A lot of the girls I am around talk about sex a hell of a lot more than my male friends do.

As for thinking, It depends, there are days where it just won't cross your mind and there are days where...
Although just because it is the second day doesn't mean you talk about it.

Although what the article seemed pretty accurate on normal days.

I would say: Not every other minute, but still probably more than you'd think.

Then again, I know quite a few girls who talk and think about sex more than I do (by their own admission).

You're extremely intelligent, you should work for NASA with that brain on you...

OT: - Nah, it simply isn't true.
How is satirising internet stupidity a reflection of my intellect?

I imagine you simply enjoy "putting smug smarty-pants back in their places".
hopefully you can see this is sarcasm

You should go work for the FBI with your ability to profile people based on reading one post!

See how that works?

I guess you can't fathom why anyone would take offense at these sorts of insulting generalisations.

Yes, i'm a bit of a lad. Sex is one of my main goals when I go out on a piss up and it is generally on my mind when I am out and about. Thinking about it makes me ask women out, get there numbers, emails and generally ends up in going back to their place. Every other minute may be an exaggeration, but depending on the circumstances, it could deffinitly be about that or not like that at all.

Just noticed, you spelled intelligent wrong.

The irony hurts man. Go download Google Chrome, it has a built in spellchecker, so that you don't embarrass yourself further.

I think about sex as often as I think of food.

It's a really good comparison, now that I think about it. Flawless.

Nope. On the rare occasion it comes up in my circle of friends, it's usually completely in jest.

Pointing out a fact: It's women who read maganizes like Cosmo. Food for thought.

It depends on the threshold of thinking about sex.
I don't talk about sex much, I don't commonly consider it an important thought when it is brought up, I wouldn't necessarily call it "thinking about". It does not become the forefront of attentive thought every other minute, it rarely does take such a center stage. But at some barely conscious level I believe it comes down to curiosity, the mind's latent draw to just follow every thought process based on the elements it has at it's disposal.
Every other minute doesn't mean sex is more then 0.1% of what has been thought, it just means it is easy to follow a trail of elements back to the aesthetics of a subject (in this case to the human form) or to the mechanics of a subject (in this case of reproduction).

It's sort of like if you tried to discuss games without mentioning the graphics or the developers.
As soon as you look at it you have accepted its graphics and your opinions on them.
By accepting that it is not reality you have accepted a thought of how it was developed.
You can't think about life without it circling back somewhere to the act that creates ours, or use your visual sense without consideration for what things look like. This may be a more infrequent circle if it weren't for the fact the mind resides in just such a vessel and interacts with the counterpart components quite often while possessing a subconscious evolutionary response to perpetuate the species.

Short version: I would say no, I don't "think" a verb implying I pursue such thought anywhere near so often.
But yes it is a latent element of possessing eyesight and the ability to think that no matter what you do, you will in fact see and will in fact think.
What you see and think is entirely of fluctuating nature an encompasses a volume far to large to speculate upon.
