Do Men Have Sex On The Brain?

[dgridley]

The idea that men think about sex every seven seconds, like the claim that we only use 10 percent of our brains, is often repeated but rarely sourced. The number doesn't bear up against scrutiny. According to the Kinsey Report (Sexual Behavior in the Human Male), 54 percent of men think about sex every day or several times a day, 43 percent a few times a week or a few times a month, and 4 percent less than once a month. Even though the Kinsey Report relies on men to self-report on how often they think about sex, it's still eye opening to find that just under half of men aren't even thinking about sex once a day. Clearly, the seven-second rule may be a tad hyperbolic.

I think about it here and there

but I do think the 7 second thing is alittle over the top.

i kind of laugh at that 7second thing, think about it, us guys don't think about it all the time, think when were watching the footy, to busy, eating, drinking, talking, watching to think about sex :hehe:

I don't think about sex too much these days since I have lots on my mind.

I think 7 seconds is a bit over the top as mellowmasher said, I really don't think there's a regular schedule :lol:

I want to know how old these men where that they surveyed. I am sure that the 7 seconds is overrated, but I also think that it would be more often depending on the ages of the men they interviewed. Just my opinion

Glad I'm a woman! :lol:

I disagree with the statement of men think about sex every 7 seconds, because really, when were focused on something, every 7 seconds the thought of it just doesn't pop into your mind. Maybe once every 7 minutes or something, but definitely not every 7 seconds. Besides, if you thought of it every 7 seconds, after a week, what else is there left to think about it?

ye, 7 seconds does seem over the top but i think it would be a bit more accurate if it was domains being the subject :hehe:

 

[champ_rock]

disagree with that time of 7 second. i would say 6.9999999
