sex

The Telegraph published two linked stories this morning. The first is about how often men think about sex

Researchers found the average male turns their thoughts to sexual intercourse 13 times a day – a total of 4,745 times every year.

But when it comes to actually having sex, men have to make do with it an average of just twice a week, or 104 times a year.

Things looking grim for men then? They're thinking about shagging all the time but only actually getting to play hide Mr Sausage twice a week. However if you cross reference the story published a few minutes later

The results, published in the American Journal of Cardiology, showed men who made love at least twice a week were much less likely to have heart disease than those whose sexual encounters were limited to once a month or less.

Men who think about sex all the time are less likely to suffer heart disease? My heart must be extra healthy then .......
