A LanguageLog post on "The Female Brain", new edition.

What really struck me is the quote from the book...:

"Thoughts about sex enter a woman’s brain perhaps once a day, but in a man every time he sees an attractive woman."

Really?

Let's have a quick, informal poll....

I think age may be more indicative than gender. I think about it maybe once a day, tops, in the morning. When the physical urge hits me. It's almost like having to pee or sneeze. Take care of business, I'm done, and that's that.

And I bet Dan doesn't think of sex much either. Despite being so far apart, we've had trips together, where he's come home, and we've gone the entire time without any. We just have little interest in sex.
