Do you agree with the "fifteen seconds" fact... - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Otsuke · 30th Jul 2009, 02:31 PM

Haha, not sure if this thread has the right to be here, but if not, just tell me

So... We actually heard a lot about "Guys think about sex every fifteen seconds" ...

The question is: Do you agree with this fact?
This topic is also for girls :P

I'm curious about what you think

Oh and... Do you think it is "normal" or "disgusting" if you agree with the fact?

I'll give my own opinion later

<3

Shevanel · 30th Jul 2009, 02:35 PM

No I don't agree with it. and I don't really care what other people think about I guess. I just know I don't.

carrie90 · 30th Jul 2009, 02:38 PM

I don't think people or guy's think about sex that much but i don't see anything wrong with thinking about sex i'm sure everybody doe's

Z3ni · 30th Jul 2009, 02:39 PM

I highly doubt thats true.. Don't know why they said its a fact. More like every minute

Lychee · 30th Jul 2009, 02:39 PM

I don't think about sex every 15 seconds, I have better things to contemplate... like how to solve global warming, or how many permutations there are if you take each letter of the alphabet and put them in a different order each time... I don't have time to think about sex xD

Black Cat · 30th Jul 2009, 02:42 PM

I don't agree with it. Personal experience has proven otherwise to me. Besides, I don't really care how often other people think of sex, unless I am involved in having it with them.

Do you have time to HAVE sex? O.O ... lol joke :O

Hm ... I think that is mostly true. Maybe it goes with the age, I guess... What I know is that I think about it sometimes, but I mean, some people don't get over it O.O Sometimes it is too much, and at some point it can get disgusting. Anyways... this is my point. I stand in the middle.

30th Jul 2009, 02:52 PM

Not me, at any rate. Maybe every fifteen minutes is more like it. And not sex per se but things pertaining to it.
Everyone is different though, and people with higher sex drives are naturally going to think of it more often, male or female. Nothing wrong or disgusting about it, as the Dad from american pie said, " it's all perfectly natural..." :-)

I've heard this factoid tossed around for many years, but honestly, I have my doubts as to whether guys really...

...sorry, what was I saying again?

L|L · 30th Jul 2009, 05:26 PM

I don't know about every 15 seconds.

I'm just a hornball, so sex and naughty-thoughts are often on my mind.

thevre · 30th Jul 2009, 05:42 PM

Meh, I think it's a reasonable statement.

Maybe I'm just a freak.

stratavos · 30th Jul 2009, 06:34 PM

For me, I tend to get really involved in video games and cardgames, and with those, I don't really relate them to sex unless the art shows gender on the card(s) or the character's design.

Quick example, figuring out damage calculation has nothing to do with sex, so it doesn't really count, and if it's a bigger problem (weapon comparison for battle strategy) but at other times I guess i make up for it... while i was on the treadmill today I found I was unconciously staring at the crotch of a guy who was working on his ams on the mats on the other side of the room... so I guess it's about right, but definitely at different intervals and settings and times in the person's life.

MusicIsLife · 30th Jul 2009, 07:27 PM

15 seconds is for straight men, gay men its every 9

- a la Queer As Folk.

Jose Carioca · 30th Jul 2009, 11:12 PM

I highly doubt it.

Cheria · 30th Jul 2009, 11:29 PM

I honestly thought this thread was about how long can guys hug before they're suspected to be gay, just by reading the title.

But no to the real question, I don't think so and that's a lot coming from me if you ask anyone in EC chat.

Jace · 30th Jul 2009, 11:52 PM

oh definately
i think everyone has some thought at least remotely pertaining to sex every 15 seconds for sureee

something as simple as

"oh did my penis just shift position?
hmm...
yes it did."

that pertains to a sexual organ
and therefore sex

and if you actually count it fifteen seconds is a longgg time
lol

so yeah it's probably true

mattypants · 30th Jul 2009, 11:55 PM

i think its an old male stereotype... or else how would men have done anything if thats what their minds though of most of the time?!

old wives tale :P

Jekko · 31st Jul 2009, 01:15 AM

i think people use that line when they're sexually aroused by someone in the room :P

**Ben** · 31st Jul 2009, 01:19 AM

I would love to know how they measure this.

fallendream · 31st Jul 2009, 03:33 AM

in a book (calledc 'stuff') some guy told his friend that men think about sex every 5 seconds, his friend then goes 'no, i think about it every 2 seconds!' stuff says 'prove it'

-several minutes pause-

'see!, told you!'

but yeah its funny.

and i thought it was every 5 seconds 0.o
