space travel is money well spent

One more thing:

Depending on which version you've encountered, the amount of time between naughty male thoughts will be stated differently, with "every three minutes," "every eight seconds," and "every fifteen seconds" giving "every seven seconds" a run for its money as the top finisher in this category. The number itself doesn't matter; it's the aura of authority with which the claim is invariably stated, as if this were an undisputed fact backed by scientific research.

Though steamy-minded men might be a nice concept to be enthralled by (also to come home to, but I digress), the theory doesn't hold up. According to the Kinsey Institute's FAQ, "54% of men think about sex every day or several times a day, 43% a few times per month or a few times per week, and 4% less than once a month." Though no one can swear to how often a particular thought flashes through any one guy's head, it's pretty clear from the Kinsey statement that the majority of the gender is not being overcome with naughty imaginings every seven seconds, as slightly less than half of them don't think about sex even as much as once a day.

Here is the part of the study they refer to:

· 54% of men think about sex everyday or several times a day, 43% a few times per month or a few times per week, and 4% less than once a month (Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, Michaels, 1994).

· 19% of women think about sex everyday or several times a day, 67% a few times per month or a few times per week, and 14% less than once a month (Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, Michaels, 1994).

I don’t think we need to consider mass lobotomies.

Jeeze! People should be able to think about what ever pleases them!!!
But the harassment and the oppression part is still not good….
I really think that the only answer is to keep men home! They should not be allowed outside their home without a female guardian!

Recently J.V.S. (she knows who she is) asked: “if we can put one man on the moon, why can’t we put them all?” and I have to say that it is a pretty good question. We should spend more money in space travel….we really should!!!

Note: I refuse to go the way of "sex" + "rocket" + "men" = joke, it is just too easy, too obvious!!!!
