The sentence is grammatically correct, and teenage boys do tend to be crazy about sex, but I think that much of the time boys have other things on their minds besides sex.

Really!? you said much of the time boys have other things on their minds, like what? I myself am a teen, I find it difficult not to think about sex in the spare time. Embarassed

Sure, teenage boys think about sex a lot of the time, but they think about other things too. My mind was also consumed with music, art, languages, learning about different religions, cars, wondering about spiders and insects, learning about other countries, and more things than that. The teenage brain is quite active, and even when it thinks about sex a lot, it's got plenty of room for many other things, as well.

I know because I WAS a teenage boy once, and the minds of teenage boys don't change much from era to era.
