Yes When people talk to me, I try to connect what is said to sex. Something like; Me- Hi, How was work today? She- Work was hard today. Me thinks- She said hard, I’ll show her something hard. It’s a sickness, I need help. Not really, I only think this way, I rarely verbalize these thoughts, at least not loud enough for anybody to hear. ---

While I think about sex plenty when single, it definitely occupies more of my time now that I’m in a sexual relationship. Too much time, actually. It doesn’t help that my girlfriend will drop me e-mails all day at work that, while they don’t focus on sex, won’t shy away from making a blatant sexual reference about once a day. Not that I mind. I’m getting laid more than I ever have in my life. 🙂 Keep in mind, “thinking about sex” doesn’t always entail thoughts that are actually sexually arousing. I think heterosexual guys are just wired to consider every female a possible sexual partner, even if there’s only a .00000000000001 percent chance of us actually wanting to have sex with a given woman. In that case, the sexual thought may come and go in less than a second. However, I’d agree that guys spend a lot of time LINGERING with sexual thoughts, too. Billions of dollars in productivity are lost that way. ---

I don’t know about this, I’m on my second marriage, and BOTH guys [who didn’t know each other] said, I was too much for them, and that it is intimidating to have a woman like sex so much. Maybe guys think of sex in a more general way, or perhaps, I’m just highly sexed, and TERRIBLY deprived [possibly, depraved too!] now, making the whole situation depressing as all get out! ---

In that case, the sexual thought may come and go in less than a second. I think you’ve got that backwards. There’s a very, very good chance that we guys will want to have sex with a given woman. There’s a very, very small chance that she will want to have sex with us. So small that it’s within the margin of error. And have I mentioned that I worship the ground my girlfriend walks upon? ---

I’ll also give the “whenever my brain doesn’t have something better to do” response. During class, when the lecture gets boring, I’ll start noticing where the attractive girls are sitting. ---

I’m male, **Dolores Claiborne**. And the answer to: > [@](#): > > And just why the hell don’t you have a picture there? is, **Shayna** ’s too distracted by her Great Dane to update the pages. I sent her my picture weeks ago. (That’s not a complaint, **Shayna**! I love ya, you’re great, take your time!)

DO men think about it all the time? Not all of us. Am I undersexed? Yes. If you’ll step through this door . . . 😃 Am I just married to an exception? No. Or are all guys like this? No. I don’t think about sex all the time; I do have dreams that don’t involve sex:) But seriously, no I don’t think about it all the time. For example, as I was writing my pit thread OP this morning, I didn’t think about sex once. Last night on AIM, though, I think I made up for that. Talking about penis size counts double:D ---

I wouldn’t call it thinking. Sex is more like the musak that the limbic portion of my brian is playing in the background for my higher brian function. _man I’d like to nail her!_ I mean while I am thinking about the task at hand _bite her!_ and doing complex things _rip her shirt open!_ there is this background noise _bend her over flip that skirt up and take her!_ that plays and only occasionally _who cares what her face looks like look at her ass!_ comes to the surface. _DO HER! DO HER NOW!_ I feel the need to be alone now. ---

I think about during any idle moment, but much to my frustration I find it nearly impossible to dream about it. When I was a kid I was told that my first orgasm would be nocturnal, both schoolbooks and movies confirmed this. I waited and waited and since then I have only had a couple of mildly erotic dreams and very little in the way of actual nocturnal emissions. So, what the hell gives? Am I getting too much relief in the real world (I seriously doubt it)? Sorry for the hijack btw, but someone mentioned that the only time he didn’t think about sex was when he was sleeping and it got me thinking: “Hey… me too… what gives???” 😃 — G. Raven ---

The other day I was getting my tooth drilled by a female dentist, and all I could think was “Ooo Ooo, she’s touching my tongue! YES! She’s checking out my tongue! I know it!” I check out every woman I see and imagine her naked, ALWAYS. Sexual thoughts are like elevator music in back of my mind, no matter what I’m concentrating on at the time. I love women. All kinds. You all have unique characteristics that make you one of a kind. Keep up the good work women! ---

In my experience, the average women thinks/talks about sex considerably more than the average man. Of course (IME) the average women thinks/talks about just about anything more than the average man… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/men-do-you-really-think-about-sex-24-7-what-about-women/62280.md?page=2)
