JAKARTA - So far, men are considered as parties who think more about sex than women. However, this assumption is not entirely true.

In research conducted at Ohio State University, it was found that in a day men can imagine sex 34 times or arguably every 28 minutes. While women think about sex every 51 minutes.

The findings were obtained by conducting research on a number of students aged 18 to 25 years. They are asked to reveal whenever they think about sex, eating, and sleeping every day for one week.

The highest score for women thinks about sex 140 times a day or every 7 minutes. For food every 62 minutes and sleep every 72 minutes.

This is different from men who think more about their body needs. If they think about sex every 28 minutes, then they also think about food every 38 minutes, and sleep every 33 minutes, which means the frequency of the three things is the same often.

With the results of the study, it shows that men and women both often think about sex. This means that sex is indeed an important part of everyone's life.

"Sex is the most basic need of everyone," said psychologist Seema jurisprudence, quoted from the Times of India, on Wednesday, December 10, 2025.

Regarding the thought of this sex if it is done with boundaries and does not interfere with daily activities, it can have a positive impact on men and women. Starting from supporting self-confidence to calming the body.

"Sex has healing power. This produces positive emotions and makes a person feel more confident," said the psychologist, Sunaina Bajaj.

"Sex involves a lot of deep breathing and touch and hormones released during the action, which helps calm you down," continued psychologist Reena Kapur.
