Of course we do, everyone knows that, y'all just came here to see if I'd admit it right out loud!
Hmmmm, that does leave me a lot of space left if I really want to call this an article or blog instead of just going with a title and a sentence. So, with that in mind, maybe I should give y'all some examples which will prove beyond question that we guys think with our you-know-whats - each and every time.
Example 1:
Envision a crowded lecture hall at a large university, hundreds of students are listening to perhaps one of the most boring lectures in the history of modern education, something about the physical structure of a tse-tse fly. Now, out there in that selfsame crowd we see one young man who's desperately trying to pass the class, his grades thus far are not good. He's taking notes like the proverbial bat out of hell. Suddenly, right in front of him, a young, blonde co-ed sits down, wearing a sweater that's clinging to her like deadbeat relatives and displaying cleavage that would make Peg Bundy envious. Now, what do y'all think this young man will do?
A. Study his notes even harder.
B. Casually glance at the blonde co-ed.
C. Gawk at her cleavage until he pops some major wood and finds that he can't get up at the end of the lecture without risking substantial embarrassment.
Example 2:
The typical guy on Gather gets a notice from his friends list stating that dear, sweet, sexy Selene has posted up a bunch of new pics, and oh, by the way, one of them is of her in a fairly scantily clad way. What will this typical Gather guy do?
A. Go to Selene's pics and look at them all an approximate equal amount of time.
B. Go to Selene's pics and hone straight in on the scantily clad one.
C. Go to Selene's pics, hone in on the scantily clad one, but then post up under it that he looked at all of them an equal amount of time.
Example 3:
Given a choice between going to the opera or staying at home and watching a classic Kay Parker/Marilyn Chambers/Linda Lovelace adult vintage movie, the average guy will:
A. Go straight to the opera, proudly noting his ability to put culture over hormones.
B. Proudly admit the lust, stay home, and steam up the windows in his house watching the adult movies.
C. Tell his significant other that he needs to stay home and check out the movies in order to determine whether or not they're suitable viewing material.
Now, how did y'all answer these questions? See? Go back up and refer to the title of this epistle, was I right or what? And, as I'm not the type to flog others about my "rightness", I will bid y'all, my dear readers, a fair adieu as I go on to work on an article focused on the following question:
Will guys share their TV remote controls in a fair and equitable manner with their spouses/significant others?

Yes.
Now, now, Jackie, I like to think with.........um okay, you may have a point after all!
E3
All men do at one time or another.
Usually we outgrow the problem around our thirties.
Obviously politicians never do.
Besides it's all Obama's fault.:0p
Everything is Don, that's why we elect presidents, to blame them!
I'm still laughing,
E3
Ok..I admit...most~ but not all.....though I love watching when they think no one is looking.
Shells, bad thing is I don't think Michael Jordan has been the only one, you can add in Kobe Bryant, the Governor of South Carolina, Bret Michaels, me, all kinds of folks......

Men think?
Back in the days when the internet was young, I had a couple of friends who would go on the bulletin board chats and set up profiles as young women looking for some "private" chats. They got flooded with proposals for meetings, phone numbers and addresses (which were usually quite real) and even an occasional credit card number (I'm not kidding) listed righ on the internet site, after a couple of exchanges of suggestive chat. Both of my friends were hetero males, doing research for a college paper on the internet. Watching the styles of interaction in chat rooms, we estimated that between a third and a half of the "hot babes" in the chat rooms were actually men just messing with the heads (or whatever) of other men.
After reading your comment, Ada, I'll just answer in this manner,
"Most times, we don't!"
E3
ha ada you got us!!!
Of course they do (at least that's always been my experience). I'm proud of you for admitting it, darlin'! And Selene has gorgeous pictures, they should be enjoyed.
A 10 for you as always.
Bethie, the way I see it, everyone needs something to motivate their thinking, what better thing than.......oh man, I'm going to shut up as I'll go to hell for what I'm about to say!
Smoochies,
E3
My son (age 19) says that the most important life skill he learned from being the only child of a single parent was this: Never miss a good opportunity to shut up. Second most important? If you really have to have the last word, the only safe way to do so is to say "Yes ma'am."
of course they do, just ask that governor who flew to argentina (on taxpayer $$) to visit his mistress - was he using his Brain?
Fran, we both know he was thinking with the pink crusader, not his brain. Can you imagine what that little trip is going to cost him in the long run?
E3
that little trip seems to be just one out of several, and if his wife continues to think with her brain (and not her heart) it will cost him everything - career, and family and what I pray will be a buncha alimony!! we humans must learn that our actions come with consequences!!
I can't imagine that he thought he could just vanish that long, show back up, and that no one would question just what had been goin' on?
E3
therin lies the difference in logic between his brain and the "pink crusader" (as you so politely called it!) One thinks with logic the other with selfish pleasure seeking only!
Fran, I've been guilty as hell myself, and the bad thing is, it's hard to apologize for most of it, I had too much fun!
E3
You've buried yourself with this one, Ed!
Kimberly, you know I could say so much in response to your statement, but I'll be good - Satan, get thee behind me!
E3
so you made your point - which we all agreed about before you made it...
Now what?
Leslie, that's what made it so hard to write in the first place!
E3
Well ,I hope not ALL the time ,but it has certainly "given rise" to many thoughts !
I know, Phil, one's mind can swell and even become rigid thinking of the possibilities!
E3
Ed, another eloquent an amusing observation of the mammal called human. The obvious biological and physiological differences between males and females, demands of males to attend to their prominences and tout the joy(s) and pride of possession.
Males respect and remain in awe of its abilities. The World has been developed and built based upon metaphors and similes of the structure of the male appendage. Homage to the phallus--hale the phallus. Personally, I would restructure the World based upon the female breast--something to embrace and defend, with possibly fewer wars. Something to ponder!
Believe me, Johnice, anything advocating worship of the female breast is something I would sign up for in a second!
E3
From my perspective, the challenge that adult males face is to experience desires but not act on them. LOOKING at a woman in a bikini is sort of a given. It may upset a female significant other- but the real damage is done by males who
ACT on their desires, who sneak around and cheat, who hunt up a prostitute or a massage parlor, especially when they are married. The real damage is done by men who have a steady supply of emotionally committed sex, but who seek to gratify their appetite fo Uncommitted sex, or promiscuous sex. That is not a funny thing, because it leaves so many victims.
Chris, I've been guiltier than most in this regard, but I guess the common sense vs. the naughtier part always did battle within me, and the naughtier part won more often than it should have.
Great observation!

When chorea is serious, slight movements will become thrashing motions; this form of severe chorea is referred to as ballism. Walking may become peculiar, and include odd postures and leg movements. Unlike ataxia and dystonia, which affect the quality of voluntary movements or parkinsonism, which is a hindrance of voluntary movements, the movements of chorea and ballism occur on their own, without conscious effort.
Treatment
There is no standard course of treatment for chorea. Treatment depends on the type of chorea and the associated disease.
Although there are many drugs that can control Chorea, there is no known cure.
I thought Chorea was where we were having all the problems with them firing the missles?
E3
"Of course we do, everyone knows that" And what is amazing is how often the fact we are genetically programmed to do so, is conveniently forgotten!
Eric, I know, it's like we explain this as our nobler selves, but we all know the truth. I kinda like being led around by my own pink puff adder, and I think a lot of other guys do too!
E3
Of course, Ed, it's only natural!!! Sure, I want to get to know a lady's brain also, but more than likely that ain't gonna be the first thing that I see!!!
Well, let's face it Eric, if we weren't supposed to look there wouldn't be low cut blouses and very tight blue jeans, now would there?
E3
*LMAO!!!* Nnnnnope!!!
okay Ed. I really don't think that all guys think in such ways. I mean, some actually think about other things. People can argue all they want, but some do have better things to think about.
Now when it comes to the remote, that is all a different story! I have to pry the thing out of my husband's hand even when he is sleeping! He watches tv with his eyes closed and snoring! Lol.
Kimberly, as much as I want to tell you you're right, I think all guys think that way, some just mask it better than others.
Re the remote, I think we'd get universal agreement that men may as well glue them to their hands!
Smoochies, great comment,
E3
Ed: I think that only about 84% of men check out women. 15% check out other men, and the other 1% are blind or forgot to bring their glasses.
Ada, bad thing is, I think you're hitting it dead on the head....
E3
oh my! too funny!
smoochies right back at ya, Ed.
Love your comment Ada.
To the last question, the answer is yes, if he doesn't want to sleep on the couch later. ;)
Amanda, darlin', that pretty well says it concisely and correctly enough for me!
E3
ha ha
Peter I'm just going to nod and thank you for your remark, we could both get in real trouble here given the subject matter and the general creativity of us both....
E3
I'm blessed with a man who has evolved.
Carla, I'm sure you're right, but hopefully there's room for all of us on this old planet...
E3
I am sure some do.
Spencer my man, I think a lot do, just a matter of admitting it.
Good seeing you here.
E3
Boys certainly do, as part of their insecurity. MEN, on the other hand, think quite the same way as real people.
Joanne, then a whole, whole lot of us are still boys, then....
E3
Sadly, you're right. My husband was very much a boy until well into his thirties, but I'm grateful to be married to a wonderful MAN! That doesn't change anything about his sexuality; just his intelligent and stable life, and, of course, mine!
Hey Ed, after reading all these comments on your obviously "comment generating" article and much discussion about the "lust provoking" anatomy of the female form..........my favorite part of your writing is when you wrote: "clinging to her like deadbeat relatives." If you're not now, I think you should consider becoming a comedic writer. That part gave me my "laugh out loud" moment of the day!
Barbara, I'll think about writing comedy, but for right now anatomical articles appear to be my forte.......
Smoochies darlin',
E3
I've loved reading all of these comments. They have eloquently described both sides of this issue, the most eloquence was yours, darlin'. I'm going to do something that I rarely do....keep my mouth shut.
Bipeds will be bipeds~dear Ed =)
Selene darlin', I think the Darwin system is in order on Gather and working fine. You take care of the higher brow, more literary and imagery-laden content, whilst I take care of the other end of the spectrum. You write about emotion, I write about men thinking with their dicks. It all seems to work out just fine.
Smoochies,
E3
Thank you for posting to GutterGirls~
Thank you for having me!
E3
Reading this brought back memories of my now defunct marriage, in which my ex was forever suspecting me of philandering and it didn't seem to matter with whom; I was guilty without a trial in her eyes. If I got a phone call from a woman, I was sleeping with her. If I got a phone call from a man, I was sleeping with him. I just wondered what she would have said if I had gotten a call from a farm animal!
I can plead guilty but only to the same extent any other male would and no more. After all, sexuality is part of being human.
Maurice, I hear ya. Hell, if you had gotten a call from an animal, hell, that's no good, that plot device was already used in "Mr. Ed." She'd have accused you of being a secret producer of the program or something and of not cutting her in on the $$$$.
You just can't win in these type scenarios, my friend!
E3
Yes, there are a large number that do, but I have been happy to meet men lately that know how to please, and yet still think with the head with brains...
Lisa darlin', they're just good actors, trust me!
Smoochies,
E3
And as much as they complain about it, women would be really, really offended if we did not.
Rory, truth be told, I think we're kinda designed that way. We just don't wanna admit it for fear of not appearing cultured, civilized, or "above it all. "
Personally, the day that I want to sip tea and hum waltzes instead of looking at a pretty lady I hope someone will drag me to Walmart and the ICEE machine quickly!
E3
As the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once said in a Playboy magazine interview: "Even when I am not thinking about women, I am still thinking about women."
My wife knows that when I stop looking she can close the lid on my coffin. She doesn't care where I get my appetite from, so long as I eat at home. ;-)
Yeah Rory, it's those fast food meals that get you in trouble.....
E3
What are you talking about? We only have ONE head... and it's VERY small compared to the girls'.
Chuck, that's profound!
E3
I like you term "the pink crusader" :-) I think men do think with their you know what's, until they realize they don't get as much use out of it; because of the kind of behavior that type of thinking inspires. Then they begin to think with their other head, and the you know what gets more use :-)
Ellen, you're a sweetie, and I'm gonna shut up cause I could get myself in all kinds of trouble here....
E3
Yes.
I know.
E3
Ed this was too funny! That's the only comment I'll make for now!
KD, thanks!
E3
Anytime!
Oh, wow. That was quite interesting. The scenarios had me grinning. :)
This comment is to let you know that this content has reached at least ten comments, and as such has been removed from Comment Speedway! Congratulations!
Chelle, I guess I ought to be glad to be kicked out, huh? Thanks for having me in the first place!
Smoochies,
E3
a good read!
Thank you, sir!
E3
You're a man. Do you really have to ask? lol
I'm blessed with a man who has evolved.
God help him.
