Recently there has been a lot of attention in the media about a new study on frequency of sexual thoughts among men and women. The scientist who led the study, Dr. Fisher, agreed to do a guest blog and describe the important findings in her own words. Read More

Remember a healthy male who actually thinks about sex for anymore than a few seconds will start to get an erection which is not good in polite company!, just because men are not thinking about sex at any one moment does not mean they are not feeling sexual urges, I would wager that the majority of men feel sexual urges when ever they see a practically good looking women or if they hear a sexual sound from a women (smell taste and touch are less important), put simply men get very aroused very fast but have the ability to quickly suppress their arousal to avoid what could be public humiliation. I’m quite sure men and women in this study were not correctly interpreting and tallying their sexual urges to their sexual thoughts.
Hey, Libido, Ditto. As a
Hey, Libido,
Ditto. As a woman, if I see an attractive man or woman, I think about sex for more than a few seconds, and I get distracted by the arousal, so I suppress it.
And yay you for being "quite sure" that men and women were "not correctly interpreting and tallying" their sexual urges. Heaven forbid that the researchers both asked them to self measure and then also did controls to evaluate how honest those self-measures were ...or did you miss the multiple controls the included?
Got a better survey design? Tell us about it!
A Little Clearer
This post has made things a little bit clearer on this subject. I have always had the notion that men think about sex more than women, and I even found it annoying almost because I know a lot of guys flaunt their sex lives when they should just keep it to themselves.
I also find it to be really cool that they came up with the golf clicker idea. It's very innovative and cheap. Are the results accurate? Probably not. But, I do believe it gives decent figures and somewhere to start in a difficult topic to research.
