The number of times women think about sex each day is pretty impressive.

It turns out that women think about sex around 18 times a day.

While it’s often said that men think about sex every seven seconds, it seems women linger on the topic pretty regularly too.

In a recent study, researchers asked 283 US college students between the ages of 18 and 25 to keep track of how often they thought about things including food, sleep and sex over the course of a week.

Every time a sexual thought passed through their heads, the students made a note of it – and the results were pretty interesting.

The results showed that while men do think about doing the deed more than women – with the male students’ minds focusing on sex approximately 34 times a day.

Women, on the other hand, thought about sex about 18 times a day – still a pretty impressive amount.

The research seems to suggest that men don’t really think about sex every seven seconds – it’s more like twice an hour.

In comparison, women think about doing the deed once every hour, so there isn’t really a massive difference between genders.

Interestingly, the study also found that men pondered about other ‘needs’ like eating and napping more than women too.

During the average 24 hours, men thought about food 25 times and sleeping a whopping 29.

On the other hand, women wondered about food 15 times and sleeping 13 times a day.[SOURCE]
