Does thinking about sex make you less productive?

It can be distracting sometimes but overall I think it's a productive motivator for me

Although I am good at multitasking, thoughts of sex sometimes does stop me from being too productive.

I spend my day planning my nights with hubby. Way too busy to let it slow me down. In fact, those thoughts let me do my work better and make the day far more pleasant.

I'm a woman and it depends on what I'm trying to focus on but usually it doesn't interfere with anything.
In fact, sometimes it even helps...like if I decide to write an x rated short story or fanfic. xD

About the only time it makes me less productive is the rare occasion when I'm trying to get my mind out of the gutter for a bit of fresh air.

I find thoughts of sex motivating, not depressing. When I'm having a rough day, thinking about sex helps me remember WHY I'm putting up with all the crap!
good point.

About the only time it ... more
i use it as inspiration for writing as well. this is, however, the only area where it helps and does not hurt.

When I think about sex, I become completely obsessed with it. It is my only vice in life aside from my toys, which go hand in hand.

thoughts cross my mind, i do a double-take, and spend the next hour trying to refocus.

Depends on the fantasy but generally I am less productive when I think about sex because then I wanna masturbate...

I'm a woman, and I think about sex way too much when I am not getting enough. And it's almost never enough.

I just treat sex like every other need: I plan for it and make sure I always get as much as I want.

There's just so much more that I want/need to do that I can only give so much time/attention to sex. I just want to have good sex (whether it's with a partner or solo) once or twice a day, almost every day.

I usually have solo sex first thing in the morning, and maybe again at lunch (I work from home), or at the end of the work day. Some mornings or nights, I have sex with my wife. Even when I was single, I always made sure to get my daily O(s). Then the rest of the day, It's just quick, pleasant daydreams that keep me moving and don't take up enough time or attention to affect productivity.

Just get yer Os and all should be well.
