I have to chuckle and shake my head when I hear so many people other than Suzanne use either this quote or something like it. What I want to know is who conducted this landmark study that determined how often men were thinking of sex. How did they know they were even thinking about it? I couldn't begin to ask someone every 8 to 12 seconds if they were thinking about sex in the first place let alone tabulate the results. If this is the average, could it be interpreted that some men think about it at a much faster or slower rate as well? Maybe there are some really quick witted, super men who can knock out a 5 second average. Whew, I must be really below average because in 8-12 seconds, I couldn't decide which color socks to wear.

Alas Suzanne, your final question is fair enough. I think more about feminine things and so many others instead of sex. I can decide which color pumps to wear in 4.5 seconds flat.
