What Women Really Think About During Sex

by Laken Howard

Admit it: at some point, you've totally thought about your grocery list (or worse, your grandma) during sex. While it would be nice if our brains let us fully commit to sexy thoughts while we're doing the deed, sometimes you just have weird thoughts during sex. It's normal for your thoughts to occasionally stray during sex, and it doesn't mean you're not enjoying it or that you are secretly bored by your partner. Nonetheless, it can throw you off to realize that instead of focusing on how hot your partner is, you're thinking about what you're going to have for breakfast when you're finished (eggs benedict, please).

The good news is that you're definitely not alone if you find yourself mentally distracted during sex. Thanks to Whisper — an app that lets users anonymously share their secrets — we have proof that there are plenty of women (and men) out there who have slightly off-kilter thoughts during sex. Whether you're picturing naughty fantasies that you have yet to reveal to your partner, or you're super distracted and thinking about your favorite pop culture references in the Gilmore Girls revival, don't worry: someone's already been there, done that.
