Do you think about sex every 7 seconds?

It’s been estimated that men think about sex every 7 seconds. If we believe the stats, thinking about sex every seven seconds adds up to 514 times an hour. Or approximately 7,200 times during the waking day. Is that a lot? I’m not sure, but to give us a laugh about this little titbit… I mean tidbit of information, check out this humorous video by College Humor, titled The Date.

And here’s another interesting question: how is it possible to count the number of anyones thoughts (sexual or otherwise) over the course of a day? Wouldn’t counting thoughts be considered a thought?

If you want to go deeper, the scientific attempt to measure thoughts is known to psychologists as experience sampling. It involves interrupting people as they go about their daily lives; asking them to record the thoughts they’re having right at that moment and place.

In fact, a research team at Ohio State University did this experiment using clickers. They gave them to 283 college students, dividing into three groups. They were asked to press and record each time they thought about sex, food, or sleep. Using this method they found that the average man in their study had 19 thoughts about sex a day. That’s far from every 7 seconds.

So what are your thoughts on the subject?
