A forthcoming study in the Journal of Sex Research documents that while college-age men think about sex a lot, they actually think about other things, too. The study -- led by Terri Fisher, a professor of psychology at Ohio State University at Mansfield -- found that the median number of times a day college-age male thinks about sex is 19. (The students were given counters to record the number of times they thought about certain things.) Sex only narrowly beat out food (the subject of thought 18 times a day). Further behind was sleep, at 11 times a day. Female college students think about all of those things too, but their daily medians were lower: 10 for sex, 15 for food and 8.5 for sleep.
