The myths
Men do not think about sex every seven seconds
That would be 8,000 times a day. The measured figure is 19.
19 ×/day
the measured median
The claim has no traceable source, which is itself a clue. When researchers actually measured it — by giving 283 students clickers and asking them to record each thought about sex, food or sleep for a week — the median for men was 19 times a day, and for women 10.
The spread mattered more than the average. Individual men ranged from 1 to 388 thoughts a day, and the ranges for men and women overlapped heavily. The study also found men thought more about food and sleep too, which suggests the difference is partly about how readily people notice and report any need at all.

Did you know
Seven seconds would work out to roughly 8,000 times in a waking day. The figure appears to have been invented for a magazine and repeated ever since, which makes it a rare example of a statistic with no original study behind it whatsoever.
The sex-toy guide
A shop has two hundred of them. One of them is right for you.
Seven questions: who it is for, what sounds appealing, how quiet it has to be, what it may cost. Out comes one type — with what to look for, what it costs, and what nobody prints on the box.
Sixteen types, from a bullet vibrator to a blindfold
No brands, no shop, nothing for sale here
Two minutes, and nothing is saved
Start the seven questions
For the two of you
Find out what you both want — without either of you saying it first.
You each answer twenty questions on your own, and neither of you ever sees the other’s answers. Only what you both said yes or maybe to comes back. A no and a maybe look identical from outside, so saying no costs nothing — which is what makes the answers honest.
Six sets of twenty questions — three by depth, three by subject
