Irish men think about sex twice the amount of time women do in a day, a new survey has revealed.
The survey also revealed that men’s most common thought is to reminisce about sex with a previous partner - while women most often think “I’m not finished yet.”
The results are revealed in a new survey by IllicitEncounters.com, Ireland’s leading affairs website, which shows big differences in what men and women think about when they are making love.

The survey found that men think about sex on average 16 times a day or once every waking hour while for women it’s half the male average at eight times a day.
Women’s second most popular thought during sex is ‘slow down’ and third on the female list was ‘this is amazing’. Fourth place went to, ‘how much longer is this going on?’
Second place on the male list was, ‘this is amazing’ and third place went to, ‘I need to calm down'. In fourth place on the male list was sex with a celebrity and fifth place was sport - specifically thoughts about the team they support and how they are doing at present.
Jessica Leoni, sex and relationship expert at IllicitEncounters.com, said: “No one has a blank page in their minds during sex. Many of us are very happy with our sex lives and our love making thoughts are filled with warm feelings towards our partner.
“But sex becomes routine for many couples and they try to make it more exciting by fantasising about sex scenarios they wish would happen. Both sexes think about sex with a desirable ex and there are other popular fantasises about sleeping with celebrities and sexy work colleagues or friends that they might fancy but are unavailable.
“There was a popular myth that we heard about for years that men think about sex every seven seconds. Once an hour seems like a far more realistic figure and every two hours for women seems about right.”
