Men Think About Sex

-- every 7 seconds.

I was having a debate with a friend recently (a girl) who kept telling me that guys think about sex every 7 seconds. She kept insisting it was a fact because she had read about it in her biology book.

My question is this; how can it be a fact if there is no real solid evidence to back this up? And if there is solid evidence, how can you prove what a person is or is not thinking?

It's a load of BS, men think about sex EVERY second, except when being bathed by the mammy.

PS, women know nothing.

Did she say "FACT" really loudly after she told you this because then its a FACT

It's bull. As you point out, how do you quantify it? Thought isn't a series of distinct ideas, it's a general train/flow.

Even if it was true I highly doubt it would be in a biology book....

Life would be a very different if we did

Funny how all these 'FACT's are always involve 7 somehow. Goldfishes memory? You guessed it! 7 seconds!

I think of sex occasionally, maybe even frequently, often fervently but every 7 second seems a but much.
Maybe it's supposed to be "7 times/day on average"?

This is true!

As for the 7 seconds thing I googled it and and "urban legends" website came up saying it's fiction. I'd say some women think about sex more often than some men and probaly alot of men think about it more than women, but every 7 seconds is ridiculous when you take into account the fact that a man can't multi-task (well alot of them) every male driving a car/bus/plane would probably be dead by now if they let their mind wander so often.....

Due to recent budgetary constraints, all second level biology books have been replaced with Cosmo and free bibles.

Every 7 seconds? Is that possible. I would have said every 12.

If you looked at AH as evidence, you'd be inclined to think so. Seems every 4/5th thread has a sex related slant.

wow nice observation

i think it depends on the situation though, if there are zero feminine women around and busy doing work or something then minutes could possibly go by

7 * 7 = 49

49/7 = 7

Coincidence?

I don't think about sex every 7 seconds, more like every nine seconds and for 10 seconds each time.

rossie1977

every 7 seconds :eek:

that equates to approx 5 times a minute taking into account thinking time
300 times an hour
nearly 5000 times a day assuming awake for 16 hours

no way is that possible, in fact its plain ridiculous, you would never be able to think or do anything else if that was the case

Sounds a bit more accurate but still a bit high for me, at least if we keep it to the realm of conscious thought.

It is complete rubbish. Seven seconds?! I think about Batman every seven seconds, but that is as close as it gets!

I've got some solid evidence for you!!1!!!


Sorry.

But yeah, 7 seconds is a tad extreme. Sure we'd get nothing done if we couldn't concentrate on other tasks.
