The highest score recorded for a woman was 140 thoughts of sex in a day, which was once every seven minutes.
The new figures are said to be a result of the ’50 Shades of Grey’ effect the series of successful erotic novels, which have said to played a major role in the increased sales of sex toys last year.

Men thought about sex on an average of once every 28 minutes, their stomachs every 38 minutes and sleep every 33 minutes.
