Men are horny goats, right? Remember that old urban myth about guys thinking about sex every 7 seconds?
Anyhow, I had several conversations with different people recently, and I was surprised to get a very different point of view on sex and lusting. I thought that I'd heard the whole spectrum of reactions to sex, from near nymphomania to total prude.
Heck, I figured even my hard-core christian friends were thinking about sex all the time and were just holding the urge at bay through faith and willpower. I guess sex just didn't come up around them because we all knew it was a touchy topic. But recently some of my male friends have said something that I never considered at all.
The question I posed: "Don't you wish you had easy access to fucking hot girls you could just call up and poon? "
I was told by several guys that they didn't have the same urges as I do. I was puzzled. Aren't we all just big sacks of testosterone?
The answer I got: "Well you don't really crave what you've never gotten"
Seriously, I had never even considered that other guys don't think about sex all the damn time. Personally, my libido has been on hyperdrive since I was 12. When I see hot girls on the street, by the time they're out of view they've been through my entire mental kama sutra.
So I did some reading. I guess I really am strange. Link to The Times Online.

The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University suggests that 54 per cent of men think about sex at least every day, 43 per cent think about it a few times a week or month, and 4 per cent once a month or less. All men are different, though; some, Waterman says, will think about sex many times daily.
