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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    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....

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    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! :D

    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.....

    (please note - I am female and as well as typing on the computer, at the moment I'm doing th ironing, mopping the floor and filling the dishwasher as well as grooming the dog, mowing the lawn, hanging clothes on the line and checking my diary for tomorrows tasks.....) :D

    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.

    Answer is in the question, tbh ...

    Depends how big your friends tits are.

    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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭2 stroke


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,376 ✭✭✭✭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 :D

    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.

    Well maybe it's a decent average then?

    Personally i think about sex consistantly. No matter what else i'm doing, at least 15% of my cognitive ability is dedicated to thinking about ****ing someone.

    How much of your cognitive ability is used in working your favourite hand? Cause you're going to need to be relieving yourself a hell of a lot.

    I think about sex, once a thought.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,497 ✭✭✭✭Dragan

    Why?

    Do you mean to tell me every time you think about sex you need to rub one out?

    Surely you can have a little more self control than that? :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 203 ✭✭blindman


    I'm thinking about, thinking about sex now.

    Yes and no. I find it is a bit cumulative. If I sat down for the 3 hours constantly thinking about bumping the uglies, I'd be ready to explode. If you are 15% dedicated to it at all times, I'd say a stroke of the arm would set you off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    I've been awake for about 3 hours now... I've probably thought about sex twice.

    Monkeys is another matter entirely though....

    What? somebody is quicker than 2 stroke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,967 ✭✭✭✭Zulu


    I have a taught every 7 seconds when I'm having sex.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,745 ✭✭✭doonothing


    7 seconds is such bollocks. It's more like every 20 min - an hour. Realistically.

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

    I know for a fact that when somebody says "I know for a fact" they DON'T know for a fact.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 451 ✭✭Lawless_Samurai


    She kept insisting it was a fact because she had read about it in her biology book.

    People like that really annoy the crap outta me! They hear or read about something and in an instant they're an expert on the subject and only they're opinion matters! What a load of crap!

    My friend says this too which again is REALLY annoying!!! :mad::mad::mad:

    Anyway back on topic I reckon its a load of bull unless its the Todd :D:):D

    It depends how horny you are obviously, which leads me on to a question.

    I don't think I've gone a week without masturbating since the day pulling my foreskin back wasn't painful. Usually once a day is enough. The next day I'd probably feel the need for another. Sometimes not. If I go 2 days I would certainly be looking for any opportunity to pull my togger. Eventually I simply have to do it because I'm thinking about it so much.

    Does this feeling get stronger and stronger all the time or does there eventually come a point (after a couple of weeks) where you get over it? :) Also, when does the white stuff stop building up because if I've gone a week without doing it I'm not far off hitting the bloody ceiling.

    I probably think about sex every 7 seconds but only watching porn. In between thinking about sex, I tend to mentally scream at the characters on screen telling them "NO!!! THAT'S NOT HOW YOU FIX A BLOODY WASHING MACHINE!!!"

    Probably more than just thinking about...:D

    And lets be honest, lads only actually think about sex ONCE per day, it's a very long, rambling thought that can last all of up to 24hrs, but we still only think about it once per day.:D

    Inspired by the most logical race in the galaxy, the Vulcans, breeding will be permitted once every seven years. For many of you this will mean much less breeding, for me, much much more. :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 266 ✭✭froosh69


    complete and utter bull****.

    it's too much of a generalisation. However, when you do think about sex, it releases testosterone, which makes your facial hair grow faster...

    so if you have to shave twice a day, like i do, then i'd say seven seconds is about right...

    however..i'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    The only accurate thing about this thread is the title. Men think about sex. FACT.
