**Enola Straight** , I don’t think women are “hardwired for superhighways of communication,” as you said. I agree that it seems women are bigger into communication (though not always, my father is big on communication and my mother isn’t), but I don’t know if that’s a societal thing, that the women are the ones who tend to do it more. I know that for me when I was younger, I always WANTED to communicate more, but was very bad at it and never really did because it was awkward and all. Now I’m making myself do it and it becomes easier. Also, sometimes when something is bothering me, I don’t sleep well if it’s still weighing on me. I’d rather discuss it and get it out of the way so I can sleep well then have funky dreams and be tired the next day. I won’t wake my boyfriend up at 3 in the morning about it, but if we’re lying in bed before we go to sleep I might bring it up. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by insider \* > \*\* What thoughts come in second and third in terms of frequency for men? \*\* My Second Frequency is a harmonic of my first, of course. My Primary is 44.02 mHz. Therefore, my Secondary Frequency is 88.04 mHz. My Tertiary Frequency is 132.06 mHz. Does this help answer the question, I’m sorry, yes? Okay, couldn’t resist. When I am out and about, I will fully confess to pretty much thinking about sex a heck of a lot of the time. If I’m absorbed in some solitary activity, I can go many hours and not think about sex. I printed a nude photograph this week, and it was of an ex-g.f. to boot ! I spent about 10 minutes getting the exposure and print time just right, and cropping out all elements that didnt’ work. I was highly focused, and yet didn’t think about “her” at all , I was thinking about making the image work well. I spent roughly 7 hours printing in a darkroom on Tuesday in Chelsea, in NYC and didn’t think about sex once. 1. Sex/Romance ( sometimes the twain shall meet, sometimes not). 2. General overall mental white noise issues. 3. Food. Cartooniverse 🆒 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by EXTREME \* > \*\*Well I don’t know about most women but I think about sex everyday. It’s not just the guys, in my opinion, that think about it alot. I think about other things, don;t get me wrong. But sex does cross the mind more then it should, :). \*\* Same here. It’s a fallicy that women don’t think about sex very often. It’s just harder to tell when we’re doing it… ---

Just to provide the exception that proves the rule, I’m a guy and I think about sex maybe once a month at best. to be fair, however, I went through my slut period in college, had lots of sex, got bored with it and moved on. I know it’s cliche, but sex is overrated. ---

had lots of sex, got bored with it and moved on. I know it’s cliche, but sex is overrated. BORED with it? OVER\_RATED?? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mens-thinking/127747.md?page=2)
