How can you possibly know that? I'll admit that I've never done a study, but I'd be willing to lay money that more people have thought of someone other than their partner during sex at some point in their lives.
Fortunately you don't have to, because Kinsey already did. 98% of men and 80% of women said they had fantasized about someone other than their partner over the past two months. I suppose the numbers might be a little lower if they specifically asked "during sex," but then again they'd probably be higher if they took away the "past two months" qualifier.

I cringe when people say, “I believe in statistic and numbers.” Well, I personally am not a statistic and number kind of gal. Why?
Research scientists interpret data gathered during studies and use their interpretations to draw conclusions. It is important that the studies be conducted according to scientific guidelines; if studies are not conducted correctly, the data gathered will be inaccurate and lead to false conclusions.
One important guideline is that the sample size must be large enough. If the sample size is too small, it is difficult to tell whether a particular result occurred due to coincidence rather than because of what scientists did.
I am pretty sure if I interview 10 college guy friends
"Hey, do you think Orlando Bloom is hot?" They will all say, "No, he is not."
My survery result will be 100% Negative
But If I am asking 10 college female friends the same question, I might get completely different set of answers.

Like the Kinsey Institute does, you mean? They're widely recognized as the leading researchers on human sexual behavior. It doesn't get much more scientifically legit than them in this field. The data doesn't lie, whether you're a data "kind of gal" or not. To paraphrase Neil deGrasse Tyson, the great thing about science is that it doesn't care what you believe.

Kinsey Institute interviewed every male and female in the world? The whole human population?

For someone who just made a post referring to sampling, you sure don't appear to understand how the concept works. The whole purpose of a statistically significant sample size is that it can accurately represent the population it is sampling (within a reasonable margin of error, of course) without every single member of the population needing to be studied.
By your logic, no study ever conducted on humans would be valid. ("Wait, how do we know the Polio vaccine works? We haven't tried it on every human on the face of the earth yet!")
I have female friends who say they think of other things sometimes during sex like shopping... haha
Only if I'm bored.
