Everyone have different sex drive. I cant speak for others, but for me - definitely not. I can say with confidence that it don't affect my psychological well-being in any way.

Sex is the Holy Grail of life, the rest is an ammount of repressed regrets.

Generally yes. If you want something as influential, important, and satisfying as sex and don't get it (which we all inherently want), of course you're not going to be at the top of your game. You may even become depressed. That goes even more for those who remain virgins well into their adult years.

They are also exist at around 1% of the general population and are usually not worth mentioning.

Asexual behavior it's proved like a missconductual way to act by many psychological schools. . . But they are free to be.

So I don't think sex rule my life, is an important element that give but not only pleasure so happiness - but not only me so my girl (she gives me to, so I'm not alone the giver . . .) - . . .

It's proved sex eliminates aggressive feelings - please no go through domestic violence, I'm trying to put it good, so you want to put it the wrong way, open the thread about -.

So more sex less weapons and make happy your partners, don't be abnormaly repressed, do it secure and . . . Say more yes and no "Ah, I have a headache! nor "I'm tired, darling!" <- this is for the manly workers. . . Both are proved lines of infidelity XD. . .

You'd be surprised how far porn/doujin/hentai can satiate you when combined with the fapping , grinding against an old mattress, or use of an onahole I suppose.. a lot of times some dudes can get so amped up about not having sex , then they have a good fap sessions and 99|% of the feelings goes away, for free to boot.

I don't think normal people can afford hookers or escorts on a regular basis, at least the non-shady ready for their pimp to scam you ones. Well anyway dealing with those people can be dangerous for multiple reasons, so its ill advised if you don't have a lot of money.

About it, well onanism is a sex way. . . So the replacement sex, many people disgrace about pro prostitutes, but many "honest" ones must be put on shrines so many of them put on a good sex way some shy people - I don't include myself, so I never need buy sex - well some porn yes, but was so many time ago that is a remote memory . . . No shame about it so -.

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 haven't had sex and I still say that it'd manifest in something else if you have some sort of underlying insecurity. I feel that insecurity isn't necessarily -about- the sex or lack thereof, it's more about a person not liking themselves in some way, even if they don't consciously think it.

Thinking thoughts like these
Well you've pointed out the issues that many people who aren't sexually active face, so the answer becomes simple: it depends on how many fucks you give. Some people give many, and a few give none (most people give some), and that's determined by what you value. If you value things such as acceptance from your peers, personal self-worth based on romantic success, and the romance/love experience (including the act of sex itself), then yes, you will give many, many fucks and that could affect your self-confidence and mental stability. It's sort of an inevitable predicament since most people will judge you for it in some way. It's a very raw, animalistic thing that runs deep in our evolutionary roots. It, then, should come as no surprise that few people become level 99 wizards like Newton or Tesla.

If sex was important for the Psyche, then Rape Victims wouldn't have to suffer through trauma, and after effects.

Not saying it doesn't help improve the psyche, but can also worsen it aswell.
Just as people have been hooked onto drugs, people can be hooked onto sex.
Or be traumatised by it.

In the end its about how sex begins and ends.

So you too consider rape a true form of sex . . . ? What about to speak about S&M, I think I calculate three or four of you who have many posibilities to deserve a madam torture rack, is sex at all XD . . . Think about you speak about, rape is false one sided sex, raped person have the damage of a criminal person, and you continue on it like was an easy way, so think on your mothers, sisters, etc.; then go again and speak about rape. . . Bah!! Ovbiously this is mindkiller sex, so . . . Nothing to do with this thread, I think. But if you want to go to extremes, puf!!

Polar fucking opposite. When you overstimulate yourself by having sex all the time, watching a ton of porn, or masturbating multiple times a day your dopamine system will eventually go down the shitter.

Depends.
Sometimes yes sometimes no.
When I'm with my girlfriend and I think we haven't had sex in a while I get pretty pissed, realize I'm being an immature faggot and then wait until she's in the mood to fuck or until I can seduce her to fuck. It's like, 'bitch i'm handsome i'm here and I have a dick, let's go'

But that's when you're horny. Afterward I can realize that many of my worst decisions in life have stemmed from my penis. And I've been faithful to all my partners. Long story short, when your penis wants to do something THINK before you fucking do anything.

And yes I was convinced that if we have more sex I'd be better cause the way I see it is sex is healthy and fun.

I think love is more needed than sex. Sex isnt like the need for food. You wont die without it. Without love or physical contact a persons mental state heavily can break down.

But everyone have different mental state. some peoples might break down in their daily life and end up by suicide, while others surviving hell in wars without loosing their minds. I know this is oftopic but currently I m reading "Book of five rings" version translated in my language. Musashi lived pretty much life of a monk. His advice was to avoid any sexual activities all the time. And he is (was) one of the most successful (known) warrior in history. So isn't it the real definition of happines - to be successful in your own chosen way. Isnt it what every human being wants the most? Love (or sex) will not get you anywhere if you have ambition to be something or reach something in your life. I would gladly sacrifice something like love for my success and greater cause.

Compare yourself to Musashi (The Warrior Monk) in this day and age with the absence of war and powerful religion within your neighborhood. Why do you crave being successful over love? Don't you find it hypocritical that people pursue money to comfort their loved ones and pursue better partners? While you crave being successful 'just because' even though you have no calling like Musashi?

Or do you want to be successful to secure yourself so finding and keeping an SO is easier? My point is everything translates to sex or helping people you care about...

The only broad thing I'll say about psychological wellbeing is that it's affected by social interactions that gives you a sense of belonging or connectedness and your own meanings / values / beliefs (which can be mostly caused by social interactions or lack thereof). Sex alone is definitely not a necessity to feel belonging or connectedness because it usually determines only a small aspect of your wellbeing. The majority comes from the quality of your social interactions that can easily be accessible just from talking to people and trusting them. Will there be people with no social interactions whatsoever with a healthy psychological wellbeing? Probably, but I'd be very curious to know why they would remain socially isolated and actually question their psychological wellbeing.

Will sex affect psychological wellbeing? Well yeah, of course. But calling it a necessity is pushing it. It can increase / decrease / have no effect on wellbeing, based on your own meanings toward sex and the person(s) involved.

They even if not recognized it could have felt loved but in a different way, not the kind from a partner but the praise he would be recieving from his studens and his allies. Whos to say for sure he had no comflictions? From what i understand that book is his teachings not an autobiography that tells all. I also said CAN break down, not WILL break down and when i say break down i mean an unstable mental state. Most people as long as they arent scizoids need others.

That redditor's comment mostly just says "Society thinks your stupid for not having sex by that point in life" which is dumb.

No, you don't need sex for psychological well being.
And even moreso, I hate sex. That might seem odd, but the thing is, I hate having any sort of sexual desires. I feel that any pleasure or happiness gained from them is cheap and short lived. Its not the same kind of pleasure you get from coming up with a solution to a difficult problem or watching a really wonderful TV show (or any other wonderful piece of art). Its cheap, short-lived, and unsatisfying.

Doubtely Musashi haven't any known nor documented relationship, male or female . . . He was very succesful indeed, but not invincible Musō Gonnosuke was one of his opponents, they fought two duels, Musashi win one and forgave Gonnosuke's life, so Gonnosuke win the second duel and proceed the same way. Leyend says one ninja warrior win him but Musashi could survive, a extrange duel due casual encounter, he was on the looser side of the battle - but he survived, a great merit - . . . I have Thomas Cleary version of the book with his inexact westerner point of view but appearing like a clever in knowledge about ancient Japan, interesting book, the sheet book of many absourd economist - , but remember FullMetalIncest he wrote this book in his final years before his death, around ten final years secluded; notwithstanding nothing in his life is known so precise and there is a data of a son, mmmm, this is sex or miracle; so he was invited many times to noble houses, it was tipical put a woman at service of the guest like concubine so room assistant at this times. . . So I think he finaly fucked a little, no? Then, bored to fight and fuck, I think he go rest and write a little. With respect to a great warrior. In his own words: "I think I won not because I have a great strategy knowledge nor technique. I won because I was the more strong, more trained and by luck most of the time."

So success do not need to make sacrifices, only succeed or be defeated. And a partner can give the support and help to get your goals, alone you have nothing more dust on air, and time don't forgive.
So many above says sex is don't needed, I think the most has have sex, and more than once - and those who can not have sex yet, they will -. Then say me that was bad, or unnecessary, so dopamine is restaured by B12/B6/B1 complex or on fruits and mushrooms - this is no a sexual message -, and many endorfines are implied on sex, I think our brains don't go to suffer so much; so problems can be solved by two better than one alone - if you are not going to be a priest, nun nor a lonewolfe secluded person looking for the Universe's misteries; and I laugh and enjoy better an anime or film on company - no TV shit programs, no melodrama programs, only some cultural, documentals or historical ones, the rest is trash - so welcome anime, sex and life, the problems will be solved, and Earth will continue rounding the Sun for enough years I'll dead thinking on my way, with respect upon the rest, not changing my mind ;D

I didn't read all your post since its too long, but about Musashi's son - it was not a son but adopted son. I dont really care about all his life story as there's not much known facts and some "facts" even says that he died pretty young in a battle. so the only source I trust is his own book.

Not like I "comparing myself" to Musashi, I m not an ancient swordsman (despite my avatar), but I think I should learn from peoples like him.


here's what he wrote:




It would be a good idea to learn from this man. Everyone should learn from him. He went through long road and he knows what hes talking about.

Well, then I'll repeat you some words you missed by him:

"I think I won not because I have a great strategy knowledge nor technique. I won because I was the more strong, more trained and by luck most of the time." Miyamoto Musashi

The rest is what each people could cover all over their lives, so if you go greedy with the success mode, then you go against this words you treasure so much. I think all resumes on let go ourselves, live and let live, sex comes when it comes, and leave good memories - please don't go more with rape issue, OK! -. So you can success with a little of sex.

But like I said above it's not a sex life, but a complement on our lives. Emotionally - so psychologically - needed, like to socialize, because the amount of little pieces give you the clue to success.

The rest is History.

I respect upon your opinion and I too am a Miyamoto dono point of view liker - but I translate his words to my life, not do my life a reflex - so I can go to a covent when I'll grow old and tired ;D
