how often do guys think about sex with female friends?

Personally even if I fancy a friend I try not to think about actually having sex with them. That kind of thought process can be habit-forming and change how you think about a person. If I have a good friend I don't want them to turn into just a sexual object in my mind.

If you fancy them, it might be at the back of your mind

I think its a natural and normal thing, maybe not all the time but some of time. Most of us will work with some stunning people or see them on the tube/way to work and i dont think there is anything wrong in that. human nature

I find the notion that men only see women as 'sexual objects' when they're sexually attracted to them ludicrous.

It's just how we are, heterosexual men occasionally imagine a girl/friend naked and how sex would be. Shock horror.

Is there a distinction to be made between being attracted to a person and deliberately thinking/fantasising about having sex with that person? I agree it's very natural and normal, and in fact unavoidable, to feel attraction for people sometimes. But I prefer not to deliberately fantasise about a lot of people in my life - particularly coworkers, and friends who have romantic partners - just because I'd prefer my mind kept them filed under platonic. To the extent to which anyone can control whether they develop feelings for a person, this is one way of avoiding it. But that's just my own personal preference; I don't judge anyone who does things differently.

I have a ton of guy friends who've masturbated to my image, so a lot

That's really disturbing and if I were you I wouldn't associate with those people any more. It sounds like they don't respect you as a friend whatsoever.

I think thats really hot tbh, it means that you're super attractive
