There has been a lot of attention in the media about a new study on the frequency of sexual thoughts in men and women The scientist who led the study agreed to do a guest post. Do women secretly think about sex just as often as men There’s a common belief that men think about sex more than women, but recent studies challenge this stereotype The frequency of sexual thoughts research suggests that while men may report more frequent sexual thoughts, women also experience them regularly—often tied to emotional or situational factors. Women think about sex and food less
They think about sex 10 times a day and food 15 times a day There seemed to be a couple of sexual overachievers in the study too One male tallied 388 and one female tallied 140 sexual thoughts in a single day The study also showed that men think about sleep 2.5 more times a day than women. Sex differences were much smaller in the lie detector group For example, when they believed peers would see their responses, men reported masturbating much more often than women did.
