Do men think about sex every seven seconds?

Do they? This is a very popular belief along with the one that states that men are on the average more sexually charged than women? If so then does this mean they think about having sex with any random woman they see or find attractive? Please answer honestly. Go anonymous if you want.

  • Do I think of sex every second? No!
    Do I think of sex everyday? Yes!

    A fact often overlooked by women is: men do not choose to have sexual urges. Sexual thoughts are involuntary responses, which sometimes are not caused by exposure to a woman. These responses get amplified when he goes for weeks and months with no orgasmic and ejaculatory release. I think it's the same for women but perhaps of not of the same intensity as men. [Correct me if I'm wrong]

    The male's sexual tendency is a biological programming to compel him to initiate and engage in sex with a female. It's nature's intelligent design to force him to have sex to ensure survival of the human race.

    Hence, men are more likely to sleep with a woman for whom they have no physical attraction. Similarly, guys tend to be overtly sexual in their interactions with women. Likewise, guys often hasten for sex at the start of a new relationship.

    Equally, good guys understand women's concern for sexual exploitation. They understand women bare the burden of pregnancy, including unwanted pregnancy. They understand not every time women are in the mood for sex.

    • A good answer!

  • No, men don't actually think about sex every seven seconds. We literally would never get stuff done if that were true. Most of us do think about it several times a day though.

    On average, I would agree that men are more sexually charged than women because we've got testosterone to deal with. I remember listening to a podcast of a trans male. He had just started hormone therapy so they injected him with a lot more testosterone than is typically found in a male body and his sex drive shot through the roof and he basically turned into a complete horn dog. In subsequent therapies where they gave him normal dosages he still couldn't walk down the street without being stimulated by every attractive woman that walked by and getting tempted to look at her. Now, to be fair, this was his first exposure to testosterone, most men are able to handle it better due to the simple fact that we grew up with it and so we've already developed methods to control it. However, that does give you some semblance of an idea as to how much testosterone influences us and how large a role it plays in our sex drives.

  • I think guys are more visually stimulated than women and have a better sexual imagination. So if they see a nice girl they might famtasise about having sex with her. I think its also a societal thing that guys are allowed to be players while women if they enjoy lots of sex are sluts.

  • I read a study that men know within seconds whether the girl he sees is someone he would want to have sex with, or not. Yes men think about sex every 7 seconds

    Come at me bros

  • If that were the case, we would never get anything done.

  • I highly doubt that.

    • No no nooooooo It can't be

  • There are portions of the day when I may go as long as 5 minutes without thinking about sex! When I was younger, I usually didn't go more than 4 minutes without thinking about sex, but of course, I am Older (and Wiser!) :)

  • No but now that you've mentioned sex , I'm thinking about sex.

    • LOL quite understandable. But may I ask hiw many times on an average do you have such thoughts during a day?

    • About...5...7... times? Spontaneously really. Don't really think of it much , and not like every time I think of sex I immediately springs a stiffy LOL god no I'm 22 , not 14 damn it XD

  • it is not that we do it every 7 seconds, it is that we think about it a lot. and if you divided the total time we thought about sex, it comes out to an average of every 7 seconds. Average is the key word.
    and that is only for young people. us old people still think about it a ton, just not as much.

  • Hmm... well 30 second passed and there is not an erotic thought in my mind... yet... so no, not every 30 second but in the next 5 minutes i think yes... also everything is sexualized nowadays so you need mental fortitude or at cynicism to resist it

    • Agreed. The society and media is hyper sexualized!

  • Ah cmon! I'd never say 7 seconds, but yeah it's presented in our lives and thoughts a lot

  • Maybe not every 7 seconds but often enough...

  • yes thank us your alive and the world is able to repopulate

  • I am at university. So every 7 second i think "when will i stop being lazy and go finish proving that equation" but then i forget about what i thought.

  • No, we actually think about sex approximately every 7.47781352801 seconds.

    Jeez, get it right.

    • Oh thank you for correcting 😁

    • No problem 👍

  • I definitely do baha.

  • Every 7 SECONDS? No, that's way too often. But they still do much more often than girls.

  • Nope, I think about women a lot but I only think of sex when I'm in my bed. If my libido is high, I might think about sex a lot though.

  • Lol, I wish. Between having a 8 to 5 job, cooking my meals, doin' basic chores, hitting the gym, hitting the shower and sleeping for a bare six hours. I mostly fantasize about being in the Fight Club and yelling to my boss how I don't wanna talk about it. But... Life. Sigh.

    • Your life sounds tough!!

  • Nah it's more like every 6.9 seconds so you're close.

  • I'm older, so its down to every ten seconds. In fact there are whole minutes when I don't think about sex. I got pulled over for speeding a couple of months ago, and I didn't think about sex for maybe 15 minutes.

    • P. S. I did say fuck a lot though.

  • I don't

  • Nope, some think about other stuff.

  • I've gone hours in a day without thinking about it
