Due to our large testosterone drive, men tend to think about sex a lot. This has been used as the central idea for many hilarious jokes at the males expense, example (http://www.funnyjunk.com/p/malebrain-gif.html) I was just wondering how much women think about sex compared to men. So if you could complete the poll and if you wish, make any comments on the matter.

Other, not often, but not rarely.

I voted, as Male, no I don't which is true. I don't think about it often, quite rarely actually. I don't have that much free time to think about anything besides my next exam or swimming. That's also why my post count is so low. Plus, considering the average male thinks about sex every eight(8) seconds, I really don't think about it compared to others. I still don't understand how some can actually think about it that much.

I'd imagine women, on the average, probably think about it as often as men on the average, assuming we're talking about actual thought and not just random grunting.

Now the big question is, do they think about it as often as I do, and if they do, you better get out of their flight path, because you're liable to get injured. :D

as a female, i think about sex quite a bit. i actually think about it more than my husband does!!! i'm a healthy 24 year old married woman, there is nothing wrong with thinking about sex alot. that's something that keeps a marriage strong. not the main thing, but a big thing!!! :fluffle:

Any more at home like you? :D

not in my home, but come to Daytona and you'll find someone! lol

As a sexually-driven male and a hopeless romantic, I find myself sometimes constantly thinking of sex, whenever I see any female other than my mother, and other times I find myself working in the yard or something where there are no stimulations to make me think of sex. I have seen plenty of girls with dirtier minds than some guys, though.

my personal experience with women is that that seems to be all they think about.

yeah....that'd be me!!! i'm married to an ex-NAVY man, and I make him blush. that's baaaad!!!

my personal experience with women is that that seems to be all they think about.



it beats thinking about what to make for dinner, the laundry, and paying the bills!!!!!!

it makes me feel bad though like they're thinking that's all I want them for.

what if that's all they want from you?

what if that's all they want from you?
then I'm not interested. I want more.

:D

I'm a guy, I think about it often.

yea, well, everyone thinks about sex some of the time.

Define "often".

Define "often".

Often: At least once in three days

Often: At least once in three days

OK. Who the heck voted no then?

The way the media behaves, even if you were totally uninterested in sex, you'd still think about it often.

eh.. what if you think about it like once day minimum?

eh.. what if you think about it like once day minimum?
The whole thing about "men thinking about sex often" is from those scientific studies that say the average male thinks about sex like evry 10 seconds or 8 seconds or 15 or whatever the case may be. So several times a day is often. Besides, how could one not think of it several times a day? Merely several times a day seems low to me. Maybe I'm just a horny college student, but

eh, just about everytime I see a female I think bout it.

eh, just about everytime I see a female I think bout it.
Yeah, that's the thing. And actually, it pops up randomly, too, in weird places even when I'm all alone, like on a hike or on a long drive or something. Like, "Hey, you haven't thought about sex in too long a time. It's time for you to think about it again." And I'm like sure, why not?

I was watching the Discovery Channel a few years ago and they were doing a series about the human anatomy. Naturally one of the episodes was about sex. The scientist they interviewed cited studies that show males, on average, have a sexual thought every fifteen minutes. The doctor they were talking to said that the idea of men thinking about sex every 8 seconds was foolish because, if that were the case, nothing would ever get done. I agree. As a young male, I know I only thing about sex when nothing else is going on to distract me.

I think that the survey for men thinking about sex every 8 seconds is true, but the amount of time is less than one second. I mean if a man thought about sex for 3 hours(once) in a 24 hour period, One could say he thinks about sex every 8 seconds.

As for the question, I am male and I think about sex far more than anyone I know. So thats an often vote for me!

To be honest i think it all depends on how you are personally, i mean i'm in a relationship, but if i see a lass in the street, i don't get all shy and act like a celebate monk, i mean its only natural. I still reckon the 8 seconds stuff is rubbish though.. i mean its just too often, nothing would happen in the world.

Just so there's no misunderstanding, when I say 'think about' I mean 'feel the urge to have'.

that just complicates matters :)

The thing is, is it so wrong? i mean ok if you get about harassing people yeah, you need to sort yourself out, but if you keep it to yourself / your partner, wheres the harm?

I think in the long run, you need to have a partner who's like minded, that way your on the same level and know you can get away with saying what you want without fear of a beating ;)

Anyway that must have taken more than 8 seconds... hmmmm :fluffle:

holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just woke up cause of some one kocking on my door and there was this fine looking female standing there. She said she wanted to have sex.
I have no idea who the heck she is.

I think I am fully awake now
What the hell was that about? :eek: :eek: :eek:

my hands are shaking a little.

I never seen her before but she looks like that one chick the Staff Duty was telling me about a few days ago. She fits the description. She tried to get the Staff Duty to let her into my room.

I just heard say say she wanted to "f....".

eh...eh....may be she drunk. :eek: :eek: :eek:

maybe all girls do that when they drunk?

but she not look drunk. She must be drunk.

I've heard about that study, no one seems to know where it came from...
My ex used to say this: "Men think about sex n times a day, but women only think of sex once a day. All day." :)

Yay, my first post!

also, if your still in the barracks and this happened, chances are, yours is not the first door she knocked on, she's a barracks ho.
that might be it too.

there are lots of those but this is the first time I've actually seen one

I think she very drunk

dang it I can't do anything..due to me still recovering from that operation which was in the groin area.

stupid medical procedures.. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

stupid moral convictions, now I shall be virgin forever and ever and ever

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Up here in Canada there is a case in the news regarding a Barracks Ho who who knowingly had unprotected sex while carrying the HIV virus. She infected at least 2 men, others are awaitng test results.

Maybe you really did get lucky, albeit in a different sense.

Well, at the moment the ratios of not-oftens:oftens is 1:16 for women and a disappointing 8:63 (about 2:16) for men. Looks like it's the ladies here who are more likely to find their minds wandering...

Though the numbers are hardly scientific just yet.

We'll all go.

My girlfriend's succubus-like, on that issue...

Male, yes I do 71
Male, no I don't 8

Female, yes I do 18
Female, no I don't 3

The ratio is about the same.

71/(71+8)=89,87%
18/(18+3)=85,71%

I think bout sex constantly. I am a female. I am thinking about sex right now. as a matter of fact if my ole man didnt have to be to work so early, i'd wake him up right now and go get me some!

According to research, yes. Women think about sex about as often as men, though they tend to REPORT that they think about sex less often than men. Women also are just as arroused by pornography as men. The myth that men naturally like sex more than women is precisely that: a myth. Women are socialized to not like sex, or to not admit they like sex, and are taught that liking sex or thinking about sex means they are sluts. Men are taught that being sexualized is manly and good. Hence the disparity you see. But it's 100% artificial, the result of social pressures rather than innate biology.

muhahahahahahaha Sex :D

female and yep I think about it loads - especially when my other half is home at weekends - and ESECIALLY those weekends my son is at his fathers

just like this weekend ;)

Yep...I'm in the 99-person majority here

I crap you not.
Sure you do, you crap us in every thread you post!

In Soviet Russia, sex thinks about you!

Is it? I thought girls think more about the romance or the build up to it rather than just the sex. Like "what should I wear when my boyfriend see's me tonight for dinner", but for the guys, "yeah tonight i'm going to have a humpity hump" :p.

i have never understood that "thinks about sex every 8 seconds" thing

supposing there are thoughts about other things in between (how else could you divide them up into seperate thoughts) it means you are having inferior sex fantasies (any fantasy that can be finished in 4 seconds isnt very sophisticated) NOR are you having quality thoughts about other things since its being constantly interrupted by quick thoughts of sex (and they say men cant multi-task)

how would i know if i think about sex as much as a man does? im not a man, i dont time my thoughts.

but they DO tend to take more than 8 seconds to complete

i have never understood that "thinks about sex every 8 seconds" thing

It's even less true than "goldfish have a six-second memory".

That's a social thing as well... girls are taught to think that way. Once they grow up, they find out that having sex is more fun than clothes. But until then... hell, what do you expect if you let Barbie raise them???

Naaaaah... I used to be a hardcore punk (but I've slipped up and become obsessed with my study) and in the punk movement it was very easy. No one thinks about it at all, as it's just something that happened whenever we want it to. Punks are much more free than everyone else mentally speaking and that's what it narrows down to. When people are sexually liberated, it's thought of as, say, part of a daily routine, like breakfast. In sexually oppressed cultures, like mainstream Australia, people constantly think about it because they can't realise their fantasies. You'll find that in the 3rd world, where the people are deprived of food, they think about breakfast a hell of a lot.

.....jeez I can't wait 'til my studies are over so I can get back in the movement!!! Female, btw.

Doesn't sound to satisfying to me. In fact, it sounds rather boring. So, you don't think about it, you just do it?
I think there's nothing as nice as coming across a new sexual fantasy, adding one thing or the other to make it just perfect, and then maybe share it with your partner, make it real or just elaborate it further... endless possibilities! And most sexual activity starts in the brain...

Yes, we do... at least I do. (And yes, I get it regularly...) I think it depends on age and hormones. Women also have testosterone. You don't have to have a mustache to think about sex! :p

The idea that men are the only ones who think about it daily is sooo wrong. I can't imagine any woman who doesn't think about it at least once a day. If I recall, I read a study that proved that.

We women just don't talk about it constantly! ;)

Barbie dolls are eeee-vill!!!!! :mad:

I think the only difference is that men tend to be more open about it.

Barbie dolls are eeee-vill!!!!! :mad:

Yes. And yet look what a role model they have become... it's so sad. Little girls in pink frilly dresses actually believing that being taken out to dinner by Ken is the best life has in store...

Thank goodness they grow up sometime

I think the only difference is that men tend to be more open about it.

Honey, you've NEVER heard what women will tell their best friend. No way men are more open, they are just more public.

go idea but a few suggestion for improvements
Gender and how often
gender and sexual preference
Gender and age
that and some more women answering would be nice for objectivity,

If the trends continues
87.3% of men think about sex often
90.7% of women think of it often
therefore more women think about sex often than men

I'm open about what i say about sex, and where i say it. i'm embarrassed my bestfriend on MANY occasions. I'm married, not dead. so when i see a hottie, i make a comment.

if hubby ain't putting out, i just get the BOB out. (bob-noun- battery operated boyfriend) no need to join the darkside! lol

i'm a very sexual/sensual person and i'm not afraid to show it. well, to the hubby that is! lol

as far as women talking about sex alot, you'd love to be a fly on the wall when girls get together. we talk about stuff that men never think of saying. trust me, i know!!! i clue hubby in on what's being said and he just sorta blushes and stutters....

women are taught at a young age that 'good girls' wait untill they are married to have sex. and back in the day (like 1800's) it was improper for a wife to actually enjoy sex. but, why shouldn't a 'good girl' have sex when she wants??? i waited till i was 18, and yes, i'm sorry i lost my virginity to that jerk. but, i had fun! and BOY did i get mad when i realized what i was missing!!!!!!! :headbang:

The average man certainly does not think about sex every 8 seconds
Next time you are conversing with a man, count to 8 over and over again, you will see what i mean, while yes men can think about sex quite a lot our thoughts are also used for less pant shrinking purposes

while yes men can think about sex quite a lot our thoughts are also used for less pant shrinking purposes

TFF!!!!

No way men are more open
How do you know, "honey"?

89% of the men who responded think about sex often.
91% of the women who responded think about sex often.
I guess that makes women hornier than men. Another myth destroyed.

It's irrelevant if women think about sex less often, because they find it easier to just ignore sex.

Honey, you've NEVER heard what women will tell their best friend. No way men are more open, they are just more public.

lol. and you really haven't heard a gaggle of queer boys with a chick flick and a few bottles of wine... I know pretty much every single detail of every single one of my friends sex lives up to and including most of their current/past partners...

this is important in somewhere like Brighton because the more you know about people on a scene like this the more you can blag when you find out where they work. You'd be amazed at the number of places I get guest listed entry and discount drinks ;)

women may gossip but they ain't got nothing on queens, darling

It's irrelevant if women think about sex less often, because they find it easier to just ignore sex.

Well that's to be expected. Women can just pull out that BOB and have fun and noone cares. (well, not me anyways) and if they want it they just have to pull a guy aside, have a couple of choice words and it's 15 minutes or it's free; male tries the same stunt on both counts and gets labelled a deviant or worse. :mad: Not that it's happened to me but I've seen it happen.

It's irrelevant if women think about sex less often, because they find it easier to just ignore sex.

oh and sometimes ignoring sex is a really usefull skill... but then you've never met my ex... sometimes the best thing to do was just ignore it and hope he got bored or something

That's just a lie, studies have shown that women are less visually aroused by images of nude men when compared to the arousal of men to images of nude women. They measured the response of arousal in the brain waves.

This rests on the assumption that all men are willing to have sex with a stranger and that all men what all the sex they can get.

I know numerous guys who would not only reject such an offer, they would do so in manner that would verbally berate the woman for being so loose.

Pfff. Not from what I've heard.

dude images of nude women ain't gonna do jack for me, but then again neither would images of nude men especially, porn's always seemed slightly pointless to me, a bit like buying a car to drive to the bus stop. Right idea but didn't quite get all the way there... why bother watching other people have sex when u can just have sex urself?

Women think about - and enjoy - sex as much as men, but they don't let on so they can control us with it! :p

I voted, as Male, no I don't which is true. I don't think about it often, quite rarely actually. I don't have that much free time to think about anything besides my next exam or swimming. That's also why my post count is so low. Plus, considering the average male thinks about sex every eight(8) seconds, I really don't think about it compared to others. I still don't understand how some can actually think about it that much.

Every eight seconds? That would mean sex is all you think about, I mean can you really think about something and than forget it 8 seconds later?

The poll is about the same both around 86% think about sex often, interesting
