Every day is NOT "always".

I try and have sex everyday, with a fair degree of success. But I don't think of myself as ALWAYS having sex. that's a little extreme.

Where were you the day you found out bears shit in the woods?

Every minute? I don't think about it every minute ... oh, wait, every day.

Um. Never mind. I was just going to say sometimes I don't think about it for at least 10 minutes.

Hang on!

As I read this, 64% of the human race doesn't even think about sex a single time in a full period of waking. Isn't that the story? If we are to assume there's any story at all.

Agreeing with Neil... ONLY 54% of men and ONLY 19% of women think about sex every day? Seriously... only once per day?

That means 81% of women go entire days at a time without even THINKING about sex! What I consider to be normal, healthy sexuality aside, how can you exist in society without thinking about sex once in an entire day? Do you see NO commercials or print advertisements? Do you not listen to any music at all? Do you not see/read/hear any 'news' whatsoever?

I wonder what they define as "thinking about sex"... hrm.

Good point, Neil.

Are they also saying that homosexual women are primarily bisexual to varying degrees?

No, they're just confirming what Cosmo discovered decades ago: Girls are pretty.

The headline should be "46% of men and 81% of women are goddamned liars."

Actually... aren't they, if anything, confirming that boys are pretty?

That seems pretty dubious, so I suggest the odds are better it says something about the general bisexualness of lesbians.

Or that the survey is crap, because it found that 64% of people don't think about sex at all for entire days at a time, which strikes me as completely implausible and suggest that the question was not designed properly... either for the person answering to understand or else for the survey results reader to understand. Either way, I'm not taking much from this.

I'm off to think about sex.

I think it really depends on who they asked the question of, and how it was phrased. I mean, I do know new parents who would cry if you made them think about all the sex they don't have the energy to pursue. People in the throes of serious depression are quite often incapable of thinking about sex. People who are seriously ill often don't have sex much on their minds.

On the other hand, if they're getting that response from relatively young, healthy people who aren't under humongous stress or suffering depression, then obviously they talked to my ex-husband. I think he went two years without thinking about sex. The two years before we were divorced.

That same article goes on to reveal that, "according to the Kinsey Report, every average man you know much prefers to play his favorite sport when the temperature is low. But when the thermometer goes way up and the weather is sizzling hot, Mr. Adam, for his madam, is not."

I'm paraphrasing.

Ouch, Geni. A man's nightmare, as far as Manliness goes.
