What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex

[RA92]

This is a picture of Ken Mattingly, one of the Astronauts of Apollo 16.

Things he is probably thinking about: Xenogeology, the Origin of the Universe, Aluminum oxide compounds, how far he is from the Rover, the substance of being one of only 12 men who ever walked the Moon, the awesome beauty of the surface of the Moon, what might John Young (the Astronaut who took the picture) be thinking about, citrus food packs on the Lunar module, how kickass he'll look to his kids and other Earth observers

Things he is probably not thinking about: Dying a slow agonizing death of leprosy, limousines, William Howard Taft, Strawberries, the Roman prefecture of Hispania, Casual sex, Minimalist composition theory, pork, the future of Politics and the Economy, Superman, Movies that haven't been made yet, Gregor Mendeleev etc.

Every man thinks about how cool they are (and possibly what John Young is thinking about) at least once in their life.

Bullshit. He was probably thinking 'Maaan... zero-gravity sex here would be awesome!'

OT: I would probably fill that book with pictures of archaic giant mechanical space monsters being destroyed by fleets of star fighters while making whooshing noises and weirding out everyone around me.

Is it available on kindle?

 

[Agayek]

There are no words.

The "male" he's referring to is the cultural stereotype of the middle-class white male. There has never been a point in recorded history (in European descended countries anyway, which is nigh everywhere) where White Men were systematically oppressed, enslaved or otherwise hampered socially/finanicially purely because they were White Men.

Oh god. Going that far just for a "men are pigs" joke? Sexism towards men is way higher than sexism towards women in the modern day civilized world. I guess that means that fathers never think about their children and male fire fighters never think about saving lives. If I wrote a book basically saying all women think about is makeup shoes and dildoes, I would be branded a sexist, and rightfully so. Why double standards, why?!

Simove has no testacles. He had sex on his mind when he came up with this idea.

I think you're wrong about that. People are equally sexist toward both genders it just different things that they're sexist about.

Bullshit. He was probably thinking 'Maaan... zero-gravity sex here would be awesome!'

If you would have done your homework, you would know that A: there was nothing about the Apollo programs that lent itself to sexual endeavors, especially the suits and modules and B: The moon has reduced gravity, not zero-gravity.

 

[duchaked]

I thought it was pretty darn funny
...and I kinda wanna buy it

but yeah, anyone who might get offended...
pshh get over yourself! the joke's on you
blank slate for you to write/draw in it :]

And if you had a sense of humor you would not take my post literally. In fact, in that respect, it was rather shoddy criticism on your part as you failed to point out that making 'whoosh whoosh' sounds in space is obviously ridiculous since there's no air in space.

Simpsons alrea...

FAMILY GUY ALREADY DID IT.

God, I never thought I'd actually be able to make this joke.

I have humor. I'm not taking this entire thread seriously nor this quote because the entire precept that constructs the OP is highly tongue in cheek.

I just think spacetravel kicks several different varieties of ass.

"Professor" Sheridan Simove has asked himself, what men think about apart from sex and then after a long research, he wrote a 200 page book and it has become a bestseller on amazon.co.uk and it's really popular with british students.

Now you probably wonder what his conclusion is, what do we men think apart from sex? According to "Professor" Sheridan Simove, it's absolutely NOTHING. The whole 200 page book is completely blank.
It's ranked as number 253 on Amazon's Bestsellers Rank. The british students use it to take their notes during lectures.

So what do you think about the book and its content? Do you agree with Sheridan Simove or do you think he's wrong?

Edit: To anyone who's offended, like many have pointed out, the book is supposed to be a joke. If you use it as a notebook and write things in it that aren't about sex, you show that you DO actually think about different stuff.

That's a fucking great idea. Why didn't I think of that?

 

[RowdyRodimus]

Well, I think about how it is apparently my duty to rid the world of the Kardashians and the cast of Jersey Shore.

 

[Peteron]

Sex, Coca Cola, Cybornetic Dinosaurs, you know how it is.

 

[KingofallCosmos]

While I do think of sex every other second I think we should just let women think that; maybe they'll underestimate us and we'll have a better shot at those freaky mindgames they play..

 

[UltraXan]

I hope those pages at least have lines for neat writing...

 

[figday]

lets see.. sports, games, grades, deadlines, food, drink, rest, lvling up my char in various MMO's, etc etc

umm, did the professor include gamers in his research? and what kind of students did he experiment with?

if he didnt then he's missing out TONS of resources

..and i hate recaptchas

 

[Plurralbles]

really? He assumes to know what I'm thinking?

: (

And he's making money off of it.


Shit.

dude...it's a joke

 

[Wharrgarble]

Wow... And here I was thinking this was a way for him to "show" what men are thinking other than sex.

After all, if you get a blank book titled "What Men Think Other Than Sex" and fill it with your own ideas... Isn't that something else you're thinking about other than sex?

I really don't think this is an attack on men at all. I think it's a humorous title to a journal/notebook that leaves you to fill it up.

Unless you just write about sex in it. Then it kinda defeats the purpose.

 

[ZydrateDealer]

That very sexist, and it's wrong to assume that all men think of sex constantly just because he does; it'd be like me assuming everyone in Britain is a Celt because I am...there are English people here too and they deserve some recognition.

Jumping off the morality for sensible people for a second I think it's a dinner party joke gone too far...and it's fucking brilliant!
Things like this remind us that there is still room for fun and madness in our increasingly Orwellian global nightmare society run by pigeon holing councils and health and safety committees.
