The reason men often think about it

People often report that, on average every 6 seconds, men think about sex once. A new study confirms that some men actually have "sex" in their heads.

Why do men think about sex more than women?

The conclusion was drawn after experts from University College London (UK) studied the transparent earthworm C elegans. Despite the tiny body size, only about 1mm long, this worm possesses many biologically similar characteristics with humans and is the most studied animal in the world today.

Individuals C elegans are divided into two sexes, one is male and the other is bisexual because the individual changes to not mate for reproduction.

According to the researchers, in a man's brain can contain two cells do not exist in the female brain and they make them think about "that" more.(Artwork: Corbis).

Previous experiments have shown that male worms possess a pair of brain cells that do not exist in hermaphroditic worms. Recent experiments have discovered the role of these "mysterious cells in the male" (MCM).

In the new study, together with US colleagues, the British team found that MCM cells helped the brain process information differently, allowing males to remember past lovings and giving priority to " sex " in future situations.

Researcher Dr. Richard Poole explains: "Although the study is conducted in worms, it still gives us information to answer questions about how women and men think and behave differently. We always wonder, are the two sexes possessing different learning abilities or social differences, in this case, the random difference is due to genetic effects . "

According to experts, MCMs appear only when the male individual is sexually mature and a better understanding of how they are formed can also help create cells used to repair brain regions. hurt.

The results of a recent study have turned up to mistakenly think that men every 6 seconds think about sex once . American researchers discovered that the beard actually thought about "that" a lot, but only about 19 times a day, ie every 50 minutes. Meanwhile, women dream more about food and only about 10 "steamy" thoughts per day.
