Poll: Do men actually think about sex every other minute?

[Rusty pumpkin]

I'm a guy, and I don't. Usually I think about games, or make up stories in my head.

 

[Iron Mal]

Do all women think non-stop about shopping, chocolate, shoes and getting their wine fix?

I rest my case.

 

[LiquidGrape]

Could it be considered a Freudian slip that I voted yes when I intended to vote no?

 

[Naeo]

Personally, no. It definitely crosses my mind a lot, but so do particle physics and linguistics. I have my bouts of when I am actively thinking about sex, though, but that's about once a day if even. Said bouts don't last very long either. So no, not every other minute.

 

[bassdrum]

First off, no. Well, not quite. Yes, men think about sex on a pretty regular basis (or at the very least will think about women if not the specific act of coitus), but it's hardly every other minute. I suppose it's one of those things that your mind just sort of drifts to if you're not using it for anything else and there are attractive women around.

It's not true. I don't remember exactly what brought about this number (I knew what the math from the study was once, but I've forgotten), but I think it may have something to do with thinking more about it (a longer continuous period) than averaging it over the entire day, but I can't remember for sure, sorry.

Going by that method someone thinking about sex for a single second in 100 years is also thinking, on average, about sex every single minute.

1 out of 100*365*24*60*60 seconds are spend thinking about sex. As such every minute that person spends, on average, 1/876000 seconds thinking about sex.

By the same way if you spend 24 minutes a day thinking about sex then on average you're spending 1 second per minute thinking about sex.

If you have actual sex with your partner once every 2 days and from foreplay to cuddling it lasts for 48 minutes or more then you're also spending 1 second per minute thinking about sex.

If they really got the numbers that way then I can only say: *insert your favorite facepalm picture here*.

ps. Not criticizing your posts, merely working out how what you said would play out.

 

[sheogoraththemad]

not every minute, but I am in my puberty so sometimes I think about it

 

[ssgt splatter]

Usally, no. I am now but only because of the thread. I think about it once or twice every other day or so.

 

[derdeutschmachine]

while I can't speak for anyone else I can say that I do think about sex quite often, it can be involved or something as simple as a random thought.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I don't think that claim is necessarily only dealing with your conscious mind...

Not everything that happens inside my head is processed properly by my main consciousness. Often I'll have a gut-feeling-conclusion about something a few seconds before my main consciousness has caught up in understanding why.

I don't stop every 2 minutes to think about sex and subsoquently fight off an erection, but I'm not convinced that disproves the claim.

 

[LittleChone]

Of course not.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

For me, its very, very rare and I never think of it in a positive light.

 

[chunkeymonke]

As a girl I originally just rolled my eyes when I heard this, but then i recalled back when I still rode the schoolbus and it really did seem that every conversation always looped back to sex or rape. The way I think of it, a person would have to be concentrating really hard on sex to actually think of it that often in a day but then again, I'm not a guy. What do you think about this?

Are you just trolling here? I mean really cmon think about it, if i go watch say an episode of Extra Credits do you think while they are takling about gaming merit in education all i can think is sex sex sex? If i take a class where i cut open a shark while i'm cutting it do you think sex is on my mind? If i read an article about mass murder in other countries do you think sex runs trough my mind every single minute iim reading an article about mass murder? Grow up.

 

[Veldt Falsetto]

I don't thought most of my friends do I think...I dont really know what other people think, maybe it's a pretense on the false thought that it's cool to be sexually obsessed.

 

[Adventurer2626]

Erm...fairly often. I'd say a several times a day. At least once a day.

 

[Lionsfan]

Not even close. This is just one of those often quoted "statistics" that usually tend to paint men as piggish and sexist. Up until I read your Thread Title sex hadn't crossed my mind at all this morning (for the 8 hours I've been up) and likely about 3 minutes after I post this sex will have left my train of thought again. You think guys who are exercising or rock climbing are thinking about sex? Or what about guys who are doing school work? It's a bullshit stat

 

[hensethe1]

For this particular thread i'd like to quote Mr. Crowe who elegantly quoted someone else in Body of Lies:

If you're not thinking about pussy, you're just not concentrating

 

[Gamer_152]

Personally, while it's something that certainly plays on the mind I've never thought about it anywhere near that often. In fact I think that kind of pattern would probably be indicative of some kind of mental disorder.

 

[emeraldrafael]

there are men out there with the self control to think about it every other minute and not every other second?

but seriously, no, they/we dont. And to be fair, there are women whoi are like that too. its called being a nympho.
