Ponder Men think about sex 5,000 times a year

Men think about sex almost 5,000 times a year – but only get down to doing it 104 times, a new study has found.

Hey, two times a week. Good for their hearts, or so I've heard.

If I did ANYTHING as many times as I thought about it I think that would be very bad.

Pft. I think about sex about 50 times during an episode of 'The Good Life'. Nigella's Chrismas Special probably put me over the top

Watcha watching?

Nigella.

What's she cooking?

Dunno - I'm watching Nigella, dumbass...

Mmm, Felicity Kendal. That's now 5001, and it's only the 12th of January. Damn you Jay Tea.

Hmmm.
5,000 / 365 = 13.69 times a day.
Do I think about sex about 14 times a day?
Yeah, easily.

Where I work, it's rather impossible NOT to think about sex 14 times a day. Add to that the fact that I'm just a slutty, slutty girl, and I bet I blow that 5K times/year out of the water.....

Did I tell you about the time she was doing a radio interview about her new book (or new here, anyway, about comfort food), and I was listening to it over my headphones while at work...

I was worthless for the rest of the day.

I think about football 14 times a day.

There's never a match on though, unless I'm lucky.

I might think about it 5,000 times a year - I've not been counting. Unfortunately everyone I know thinks about it with me 0 times a year.

While I totally agree that thinking about it 5000 times is fairly low (I'm at least double this number myself), how about the idea that having it 104 times per year is low?
