a lot of things, but what you're enjoying depends on if you're having regular old sex or 'passionate loving sex'.

eh, i think maitai and i discussed this on length in some thread a few months ago. cbf to do it again.

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

This isnt even a question.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Then you are agreeing with him that sex (which is just sex intimate or not) belongs at the bottom. I am confused.

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.

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.

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 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!!

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.
