Inside a Man’s Mind : How Often Do Men Think About Sex?

Alright, let’s get straight to it: how often do men really think about sex? You’ve probably heard jokes about men thinking about it all the time, but is that the full story? Today, we’re breaking it down in the simplest way, with insights, real stories, and the facts.

The Stereotype: Are Men Always Thinking About Sex?

There’s this stereotype that says, “Men think about sex every seven seconds.”

Now, if you’re doing the math, that’s over 8,000 times a day!

But let’s be real — that’s an exaggeration.

Studies show it’s not every seven seconds, though it’s frequent enough.

In a survey done by researchers at Ohio State University, they asked men how often they thought about sex.

Their findings?

On average, men reported thinking about it 19 times a day. Sure, that’s still a lot, but it’s nowhere near every seven seconds.

Why Men Think About Sex Often

So, why do men think about it so much?

To understand, you have to look at basic biology.

Testosterone, the hormone most responsible for sexual drive, plays a big role.
