Who fantasizes more about sex: people who have lots of sex or people who have very little?
Vaughan Bell links to Jesse Bering's article in Scientific American quoting Leitenberg and Henning's 1995 paper "Sexual Fantasy":
Because people who are deprived of food tend to have more frequent daydreams about food, it might be expected that sexual deprivation would have the same effect on sexual thoughts. The little evidence that exists, however, suggests otherwise. Those with the most active sex lives seem to have the most sexual fantasies, and not vice versa. Several studies have shown that frequency of fantasy is positively correlated with masturbation frequency, intercourse frequency, number of lifetime sexual partners, and self-rated sex drive.
