"Nothing"

Ok, Ladies and Gents, I have a question….

Do you know what “Nothing” is?

Have you ever asked a man what he is thinking, and did he say ”Nothing,” or maybe, “I don’t know”? Where do men go in their heads when they are gazing off into space?

I’ve worked closely with men all of my life and quite often considered myself just “one of the boys.” I always thought I knew how men thought and had a handle on their inner workings but this whole “thinking of nothing” thing, has me thinking…

As a person whose mind never shuts up (and I’m not kidding here), I find it impossible to believe men can just shut off their brain! Is it other women they are thinking about and won’t admit it? Could it possibly be a weird fantasy they are embarrassed to share?

I watched a morning talk show recently where a doctor was speaking about sex and relationships. He said that men, on average, have 11 (yes 11) erections a day! This leads me to wonder what goes on in men’s underwear that we aren’t seeing. Tight briefs can hide a lot of, for lack of a better word, “sins” you know! So could the men we know who are thinking of “Nothing,” be thinking of something and we aren’t seeing the evidence?

Maybe I’m way off here with the sex theory. It could be that 10 of those erections that the average man has a day, are during the night (its too bad our bedrooms aren’t zoned as campgrounds or we could charge for all of those tents!). So could it be sports, music, or maybe trucks they are thinking about? If so, why don’t they share that information with us when we ask? My eyes may glaze over and I may start to daydream a little myself (they aren’t the only ones that can hide the evidence), but at least I’d know what they’re thinking!

Well, as a person who has been told by many men that I “over” think everything; I think that men need to re-think not telling us what they’re thinking about!

That’s what I think!

"Nothing" by

I hope any men that may read this don’t take offense, it was not written to insult but to tease and give someone a giggle! I came up with the idea of writing this after Scott, once again, said he was thinking of “Nothing.” My Mom has told me that Dad says the same thing, as have a couple of other friends of mine.

Enjoy!

    during sleep the male body makes testosterone.during this process an average male will have “piss hards” during the night.“piss hard” probably came from waking up with a boner and having to go pee.True erectial disfunsion ED can be determinder thru this.If its mental they will still get erections during the night if its ER they want or only have a few…That leaves a room for a few wonderful daydreams for the rest of the count…..then again he might just be wondering why women can’t figure out if the toilet seat is up or down and HE’S the one that must keep it in the right position for them LOL

    I dunno Darlene. I think they could be thinking of nothing cause first you have to have a brain to think. LOL. Just joking.

    Interesting point. However, if I’ve got an erection and someone asks me what I’m thinking, it could be very risky to admit the truth. Sometimes, the erection crops up for no reason at all and all I’m thinking is how good it is to get hard so spontaneously. The conversation could go badly, though.

    “What are you thinking?”

    “I’m enjoying this boner I just got.”

    And that’s excluding all those times when the erection cropped up because I WAS thinking about something sexual – in which case, my answer could be a lot more explicit as I described the sordid, erotic daydream I’d drifted into.

    Hmm… to be honest, a lot of my friends wouldn’t be too surprised at such a response, though.
