I would like to debunk the so-called statistic or myth that every man thinks about sex every six seconds.
Think about it: would society evolve at all if we thought about sex that much? Probably not. I love women and all, but every man has his priorities on other things than sex. There's food, after all.
But more importantly, SCIENCE. So excuse me for trying to make the world a better place, and not focusing solely on my primal mating instincts.
Mancouch Says: Hear, Hear!
Most men will openly admit that they enjoy sex and think about it on a regular basis, but the real interval is probably closer to a few times per day, not every six seconds. Really, who the hell came up with that number? Look at
these statistics:
Every 24 hour day is equal to 86,400 seconds. 86,4000 / 6 = 14,400. Assuming our brains are doing some sort of thinking even while we're sleeping, that would mean men are thinking about sex nearly 15,000 times a day, in some form or another. How is that even possible? How could any of us get through the day without having our respective poles pointing north all the time?
That said, it's a natural thing to think about, but not to the excessive point the numbers seem to suggest. Obviously, our frontal lobes have allowed us the ability to do more than constantly act on our carnal instincts. We develop interests in music, art, science (as suggested above), and any other number of productive, non-sexual fields.
Frankly, it sounds like someone rigged the numbers to make all men seem like brutish, salivating pigs. A scorned woman, perhaps?
Either way, this statistic doesn't really mean anything. Someone could've taken a random sampling of men hanging outside a strip club and skewed the language. In the end, all that matters is the individual. I know I don't generally think about sex more than a few times a day, at least not consciously. And if that's the same for men across the board, then these numbers mean nothing.
So another two cheers for interests that aren't sex, men! Let's show the world we're more than just a good lay.
How often do you think about sex?

Well... I'm thinking about it now.
Not every six seconds that's for sure
I'm a girl... I think about sex maybe.... 6 or 7 times a day? hahahaha more or less depending on the day.
I have more of a sex drive than my boyfriend, and I probably think about it more, too. Soo... I kind of doubt this statistic is true. My guess is that they hooked some guys up with electrodes, and whenever there was activity in the area of the brain that deals with sex, they marked it down. The problem with that is that that area has to do with a whole lot of other instincts - hunger, thirst, other biological needs - so every six seconds, hell yeah guys think about how hungry or thirsty or horny they are! I just don't see how else they could have gotten that statistic. Could be wrong though. In any case it's a flimsy number.
I knew that statistic was made up. About 46% of statistics usually are.
(c wut i did thar?)
more than a dude xD
LOL That picture cracks me up. That's like me and my husband when he's playing World of Warcraft. I can literally prance around in very hot lingerie or stark naked and then sit down near him and unless I make a big deal to get his attention he won't notice what I am (or am not) wearing for as long as several hours. WARCRAFT. IT IS TEH ANTI SEX.
In regard to the "food for thought" question, I think about sex probably once every 5-15 minutes.
nothing but nothing gets in the way of Super Science

who ever come up with every 6 second is dumb-____-'' is purely impossible!
My boyfriend thinks about Magic the Gathering every 6 seconds. He probably thinks about sex once a day, maybe.
it's probably more realistic to say a girl thinks about shopping or her bf every 6 seconds
for me anyways =]I am mildly amused by the typo in the title (unless it's not a typo and is supposed to say 'sex seconds'? In which case, I am still amused).

Preposterous. We men have more troubling matters to think of every six seconds. Certainly not sex.
I know men do think about sex more often than women but it is no where close to being every 6 seconds. If I can remember correctly the average for men was 6-8 times a day and for women it was something like 4-6. But I haven't read about that in a long time so my numbers could be off.
Haha. I'm sorry, I laughed. Should I laugh? Oh darn. Haha
I don't even think about sex every day. I guess I'm not a real man. Recommended. And subscribed.
Oh, and this horrid myth also perpetuates the erronious notion that women do not feel sexual desire. What a hideous idea. Women want sex just as much as men do; they've just been socialized into believing that sexual desire is shameful, by the threat of being thought of as a slut.
someone probably just randomly chose "six seconds" to exaggerate the fact that most men tend to think about sex fairly often.

@burn_journal@xanga - Exactly.
^^;; Quite abit honestly. Haha! Not sure how much though.
Well... I think about sex every six seconds.
Once every sex seconds, up to a maximum of six or so times a day (average).
And yes, the typo here is intentional.
I think about sex every six seconds. Its not impossible :)
