| Studies show that both men’s and women’s sense of sexual well-being significantly correlate with their general life satisfaction and physiological function. So yes. |
| there are people who are called asexuals that do not desire sex if you feel you are deprive of sex and you badly need it then go for a paid service if you cannot socialize and get sex in a normal way |

| not for everybody. i mean, some people just dont like sex and sex makes them sad bc or medical problems of past experiences or whatever and theyre just happy doing other stuff. idk. ive had periods of time where im having tons of sex and ive had periods of time where im having no sex and felt no different. i mean is the reason you want to have sex bc you just think sex sounds really great or bc the world says you should be having sex? if its the second one dont even worry about it the world doesnt know what you need. |
| Subjective. |
| It would probably manifest in another way, that's generally how things like that work. While sex would calm you and give you that sense of relaxation in the moment, as soon as that moment is over everything would be back to how it was. You'd have to be having the feeling of orgasm 24/7 to quell anything else, and that's just addiction, you could use anything else to get the same reaction - alcohol, drugs, etc. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| imagine the suffering (if there is any) of the catholic priests that abstain from sex too and how about the nuns?

| Nope, not at all. |

Theaterofhope said: Thinking thoughts like these Yep, that link pretty much sums me up. I last had sex a decade ago, and it was with a clinically insane person who tried practicing wicca to get pregnant. That's not the reason they were insane, just a weird fact about them. I do feel unwanted, and that fact in no way helps me find a significant other in any way imaginable. It's a tragic, spiraling issue that occupies my mind for at least an hour every single day. So to answer OP's question, yes, it definitely affects one's psychological well-being. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, I know this from living it. |
| sex probably affects serotonin and dopamine levels, and can function as exercise, so yes it would probably affect depression. |

| If you want something, you're going to feel pretty awful if you don't get it. That goes for anything. |

| I guess I can't get a solid answer because issact in a similar boat says it does negatively affect you. Everyone who had sex says it doesn't. Where is the greener grass??? sigh |

I'm active withing the LGBTQ community, and I can assure you that asexuality is definitely a thing. I've met many asexual folks in my life, and they are certainly very real, and don't just "have a weak sex drive". |

| ACTUALLY having sex for the first time is like opening the flood gates. youll want it a lot more once youve had sex a few times. |
Revelry said: SolviteSekai said: What's so good about sex, anyways?ACTUALLY having sex for the first time is like opening the flood gates. youll want it a lot more once youve had sex a few times. i think the human subconcious just impulsively desires it. dity said: Revelry said: a lot of things, but what you're enjoying depends on if you're having regular old sex or 'passionate loving sex'.What's so good about sex, anyways? eh, i think maitai and i discussed this on length in some thread a few months ago. cbf to do it again. >implying that passionate sex feels better than dirty anonymous sex. it depends on the person. |
Revelry said: Um..Your banner sig thingy?What's so good about sex, anyways? dity said: not necessarily, but it can sure as heck help. I should have put a poll asking if it makes you at peace more psychologically. And add four options. If your a virgin or not + your opinion. THEN I will see results |

Anything that favorably alters your dopamine and serotonin levels is good for you psychologically. Sex is a form of exercise and it gets your libido going which is good for your chemical balance. There is no question here. |
| That would depend on what you want out of relationships. |
 |
| I really don't care about it at all I've had it before, but I don't desire it and I personally think there are more important things to me |
 |
| Nope, its just fun. |
| Sex might not be necessary for psychological well-being, but the company of other human beings may be. After all, "It is not good for man to be alone." -God |
| Only if you crave it a lot. Ive not had sex yet too, but I am not that distressed about it. Its not that I do not desire it, Im not asexual, but I guess my sex drive is just really weak. My laziness, getting a woman to sleep with you, going trough maybe boring shit (boring conversations) or even having to start a relationship in order to do that, and circumstances like hardcore christian mother, which dont allow me to pick up some drunk chic in a club, those things are just way bigger than my sex drive. I'll just have sex when I move out and there is a easy way to have it, big deal. Who knows maybe by then I'll even be interested in relationships. Also there are no futas in RL, lol. |
| If you want sex, yes. |
 |
| No, no psychological disadvantages of not getting any... ...unless you choose to hate yourself over it. Just go fap and get it out of your system. Sex is not a necessity, but if you can't handle the horniness... ...your body doesn't care how you release it. |

| You don't need sex to live. It's the bastardization of it in the media that has all these teenagers so horny and lustful. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| no but thats just me though |
| RRRRRRRRRR |
| In my shitty opinion that no-one likes, sex isn't a necessity for anything. |
 |
| Maybe it's not the no sex itself that is damaging but the obsession of thinking about sex. |
 |
| I'm 17 and never had sex. Just fap. And that too rarely. I must be a hero |

| Yes, it is! In fact, according to Maslow hierarchy of human needs, sex is actually among basic needs just like sleeping and eating. Well, I wouldn't put things exactly this way since, unlike privation from food, you don't die in a matter of days If you don't have sex. But I totally agree that at some extent it is a basic need. Total abstinence on the long term would mess with your psyche. |
| No, of course it's not a necessity. There's many other ways to get serotonin... |

Rothion said: No, of course it's not a necessity. There's many other ways to get serotonin... I didn't ask if it's a a 'plus' or relaxant like taking drugs to relieve your addiction (note I don't take drugs). I'm asking whether or not if there is a period of inactivity does it take a bad toll on you. And the only solution for that toll is...Anyway this thread is pathetic on my part. I should probably read about this instead of asking here |
He misinterpreted it Sex is mentioned at the bottom next to sleep and water but reading into the Wiki article it means 'human sexual instinct' should be a basic need while the actual sex should be at the third level of 'Love/Belonging' |
Theaterofhope said: He misinterpreted it Sex is mentioned at the bottom next to sleep and water but reading into the Wiki article it means 'human sexual instinct' should be a basic need while the actual sex should be at the third level of 'Love/Belonging' Agreed. It's important to differentiate between sex and sexual intimacy. You can have sex with anyone. Intimacy is a different story. |

| Yes I believe it can affect you cognitively in a negative way. Though it depends on a number of things as to whether or not it does. If you place importance on sex to the point where you view yourself as inferior to others without it, then you'll definitely experience some depression and a need to have sex in order to feel "normal". At the same time even if you don't place direct importance on sex. Pent up sexual tension not released through sex or masturbation can have an affect on your thoughts. You might start objectifying women more without realizing it. This said you could train your mind to be less susceptible to these thoughts along with ignoring them when they occur and carrying on with your day. It really boils down to how much you value sexual stimulation and the thoughts related to it. While an instinct it's not a necessity for psychological well being. |
 |
| It's probably not, unless you've decided that your life revolves around sex, and in which case you should go get sum. It's just another physiological need to me, and there are plenty of other things in life that I value more that play a part in my psychological well-being, like self-actualization and having friends, safety, and so on. I'm not going to lie, I have a high libido and an ocean of fetishes, so of course I think that sex is awesome, but it's not a major factor in my life. That would've been depressing. |
