Report finds sex always on men's minds

[Gman]

NEW YORK, Oct. 24 (UPI) -- Researchers at the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University say most men are always thinking of sex.

A study released Tuesday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Scientists found 54 percent of men and 19 percent of women admit they think about sex every day -- or several times a day -- in a society where they are bombarded with subconscious erotic images.

Scientists at the University of Minnesota found sexy subliminal images competed for attention in the brain even when the images were not right before a subject's eyes and most people are not consciously aware of them, ABC News reported.

Duh! "Dog Bites Man!"

[lostnotforgotten]

1. And This Is News Why?

eom

[acmavm]

3. Exactly. The biggest non-story of this, or any , year, decade, or

millenium.

edit: Damn, that's a lot of commas. (At least they're not george w. bush** type commas.)

[Wilber_Stool]

13. Commas,

they look like little dicks.

[SharonAnn]

55. Spend their entire lives trying to find places to stick it in. That's news?

Goodness, I didn't know one needed and "official" statement on that.

[Subdivisions]

2. Bullshit.

[Kutjara]

5. Quite.

We also think about beer.

[Subdivisions]

6. And sports...

[leftchick]

20. lol!

:)

[Toots]

31. Yes especially those cheer leaders.

Love them sports thingys..

[Nikki Stone 1]

4. They needed a study for this?

Probably took the money from breast cancer research.

[Retired AF Dem]

23. Since the numbers of occurance is so close

how about some of that money going to prostate cancer research?

[Nikki Stone 1]

62. Hey, as long as they don't spend money researching the painfully obvious

I'm all for it.

(And, yeah, prostate cancer awareness is still a little behind the curve, but it's catching up.) :)

Cheers!

[ixion]

7. not to be crude, but men masturbate (and have intercourse) so they don't

have to think about sex all the time.

A man is not thinking about sex after he has an orgasm, at least until it's time for another orgasm, at which point he thinks about sex. :evilgrin:

[Homer Wells]

29. Maybe not for the first ten minutes

after sex, but then it is back to the lustful thoughts once again.



:woohoo: :woohoo:

[ixion]

32. true, but in those moments after, we're NOT thinking about it

hence the 'all the time' claim remains bogus. :rofl:

[Homer Wells]

33. Picky Picky Picky

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[newportdadde]

38. True its also why we get sleepy afterwards its a defense mechanism.

For those few minutes its the only time we are truly honest so our bodies try to fall asleep to protect us from saying anything stupid :evilgrin:

[Gman]

42. Like "I love you!" LOL!

[Hav]

8. .

No way! That's such a bulltit! Is that the breast they can cum up with after pumping all that money in it again and again?

[NotGivingUp]

9. "in a society where they are bombarded with subconscious....

erotic images." there's your important sentence. and i would add "conscious" and "in your face" images all the frigging time. it's just the corporations trying to turn us into a nation of idiots and to keep our minds on other things while they strip us bare of everything that matters.

and i wouldn't call thinking about sex once a day or a few times a day "all the time".

[liberal N proud]

10. We think about are cars now and then

[SalmonChantedEvening]

11. Could you repeat all that please?

My thoughts were otherwise occupied...

[Daphne08]

12. Well, Duh. n/t

[Retired AF Dem]

15. Damn

I was going to post that. :)

[seabeyond]

14. once a day, 54 % males= do NOT equal ALL men ALL the time

that is a stupid as subtitle... and the rest of the report, o.k.

i think about sex with hubby or some other reason at least once a day or often enough for me to not know exactly... so. because it goes into my brain, takes about a second or two, then on with a zillion other things

[michaelwb]

25. THANK YOU!

Plus let's throw out the notion about this half of those surveyed once of day out of how many thousands of thoughts you have a day?

And let's ignore that the fact that it is "admitted to." Should we be surprised that men are more likely to admit that than women are given the cultural attitudes about sexual thoughts for men versus women?

For comparison, you could also have a study where 54% of women think of buying something at least once a day - thus "Women think about shopping all the time!" Which I imagine would actually evoke a more realistic and properly critical assessment of this "story."

[unpossibles]

16. this study is making me horny....

and what's wrong with thinking about sex daily? I like thinking about a variety of things I enjoy.

[Totally Committed]

17. I think this IS news.... if it is seen correctly......!

Men are always thinking about sex? Then what, pray tell me, makes them better leaders than women? What makes them more able to tend to matters of state, war & peace, poverty, and the welfare of humanity... (that red button)... if all they have on their minds is the next schtump? Think about it.

It's just further proof that women should rule the world.

Am I right or am I right?

TC

[DiverDave]

36. Heck yeah, the women should run the world

it'll give us more time to think about...you know...and cars and sports and fishing...sigh.
Fine by me, take over, you gotta be able to do a better job then us.

[hunter]

64. Women think powerful men are hot...

:eyes:

[Dob Bole]

18. Kinsey Institute: Give me your extra money from now on...

I could find something more useful to society to do with it.

[Nickster]

19. DUH! I could have told you that for a much smaller grant! n/t

[Retired AF Dem]

21. The 54%

must be the men that have been married five years and longer. That is all we can do, think about it.

[Binka]

24. That's Terrible. Send Me Your Wifes EMail And I'll Mail Her Some Of My Horniness

iness...I have MORE than enough!:evilgrin: She will thank me and YOU will too!:evilgrin:

[gatorboy]

27. You can email that these days???

"You've Got Horniness" :rof:

[Binka]

35. The Flag Is Just Pointing At A Slightly Different Angle! n/t

[seabeyond]

30. who is to say it is the "wifes" problem???? i want to know. n/t

[Retired AF Dem]

40. Went through a ten year period

of doing it about once a year. I decided to let her make the next move and went four years without any. Due to jobs we live apart at the moment and see each other maybe twice a year. No sex in the past three years. Of course it didn't hurt when I over heard her say to a friend "Rick is the nicest guy in the world, but I don't really think of him sexually" (This was about 20 years ago) I keep my self in good physical shape, good hygiene don't drink or smoke. And I'm always ready. I love her dearly but resigned myself to a celibate life.

[seabeyond]

28. shame on you.... hubby and i get it way more than when we were single

to continue a bash on marriage, the same ole whine is as boring as this supposed study

[woodsprite]

22. What it doesn't say - the guys they surveyed were repub congressmen. nt

[wicket]

26. I must be a man, then

:evilgrin:

[TahitiNut]

34. I need help on my math. How many times does 54 go into 19 again?

:evilgrin:

[Saphire]

37. as many times as it takes.

[Alamom]

39. 19 % for women seems a little low.........

:*


The real news would be an accurate report of what women really think about anything.

[alarimer]

56. The other 81% were lying

I never trust surveys like this because the respondents usually tell the questioner what they think they should say. I would guarantee that the answers for both are closer to 100%.

[progressivebydesign]

41. Last night a married man with kids in van, was ogling my 14 year old..

No one needs to spend a dime to tell me that sex is always on a man's mind. Do people actually waste time studying that?

As far as the jerk in the mini van... my daughter and I were coming out of the store last night. A man sat in a minivan with his two children in the back, waiting for his wife. My daughter had her volleyball uniform on, which is shorts and a sweatshirt. I got a vibe right away and noticed him staring at her legs and butt as she was walking to the car and getting in.... he looked up at me with this sheepish grin and I wanted to slug him. I mentioned it to my daughter, and she was like.. "OMG I got a vibe immediately when I came out the door, that he was staring at me, and I was thinking god, he's looking at my butt as I'm getting in! GROSS!!!!"

[Raine]

43. How do men ever

get anything else done. :shrug:

[misternormal]

46. We plan things around sex of course... lol... n/t

[treestar]

53. Maybe women should take over

A woman president would not be so distracted, for example.

[misternormal]

44. I don't have... (o )( o)... sex on MY mind... not at all... n/t

[Deja Q]

49. Really? 8======D Thought not.

:crazy:

[mmonk]

45. How many times are they going to do this "study"?

I seen this or similar "studies" many many times.

[Deja Q]

47. It took them thousands of years to figure that out?!

:wow:

:eyes:

[The Straight Story]

48. it's not always on my mind, only when I am awake...

Oh wait, when I am dreaming as well.

[leftofthedial]

50. I know I am

:evilgrin:

[lumberjack_jeff]

51. Depends on how hungry I am.

Not that I've every been that hungry, I suppose.

[porphyrian]

52. That makes me want to fuck. - n/t

[treestar]

54. Does this include Dubya?

Just wondering.

[MrSlayer]

57. In other news, water is wet. Hmmmm......wet.

Yep.

[Quantess]

58. Only 54%?

That seems too low.

[Kat45]

59. Wow! I guess I'm one of only 19%.

But that's cool because my boyfriend is definitely one of the 54% :bounce:

[Withywindle]

60. Here's what makes me go bzuh?

A study released Tuesday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Scientists found 54 percent of men and 19 percent of women admit they think about sex every day -- or several times a day


That's a ridiculously low number!

You mean there are people of any gender who can get through a day without thinking of sex? I assure you I do at least once an hour, and I'm a woman!

[BootinUp]

61. I would take the time

to comment, but I have other things on my mind.


:evilgrin:

[Radical Activist]

63. What's wrong with the women in this survey?

Only 19%? They're either sexually repressed, or lying.

[kiahzero]

65. RTFA

From the article linked:
Researchers at the University of Chicago reported in 1994 that 54 percent of men and 19 percent of women admitted they think about sex every day -- or several times a day. - emphasis added.

[warrens]

66. Several times a day is not "always"

And I doubt women have a far lower incidence. I can't even imagine a day when I don't think about sex at least ONCE. As Lenny Bruce once said, guy in the hospital, having his leg amputated, and he's making a play for the nurse at the same time.
