Sex: Is it Necessary?

[Anita Lay]

EVERYONE IS WRONG.....
SEX MEANS PRODUCING LIFE FORM IN ORDER FOR THE WORLD TO EXIST.
Everyone here must practice the technique till they are ready to keep the world populated.
Can you imagine if there were only three people on this earth? Makes you really think

Sex is not a NEED, true, but it does give you a greater quality of life, and isn't that what we all strive for?

Totally agree.

Those women who are saying sex isn't a need...have you ever spent any time with a man who isn't getting any? They eventually get totally sick in the head. Just because lack of sex does its damage slowly doesn't mean it isn't a need; lack of companionship usually kills very slowly, too, but we still consider companionship a need. And lack of some vitamins (such as vitamin K) won't kill, but eventually result in serious debilitation, yet we still call vitamins a need.

Death isn't the only bad outcome, y'all.

It might be a need if you're weak minded and let your urges control you but I know plenty of men who are so self absorbed with their success/job, sex might happen once a month for them. They obviously focus on something else they think is more important...or they jack off to simply get a release.

If there is any thing on earth that controls you to the point of being "sick in the head" especially something like meaningless sex, that speaks for itself. It's not sex you need..it's therapy!I have several Aunts who are widowed and have made the choice to never be with another man...they are doing quite well living ife without that one thing.

I can see the longing for companionship and affection, but I am looking at the mere definition of what a need is...can't really argue with facts. According to that...sex is not a need.

I know many people who make the decision to never have sex until they are married, and some live a life of celibacy...have yet to attend a funeral in any of those cases. I think too many people try to convince themselves they need something just so they can do it and feel justified.

What is this.... superthread month.... this again...lol

Sex is not a need it is a want. You can argue it any way you want but the fact of the matter is that you do not need sex to live. As far as being happy, having a quality life, well that depends on you and what you allow to make you feel happy.

+1 Would be better with some than some others I would imagine.

Bingo EA. Claiming you "need" sex to be happy is no different than a drug addict or an alcoholic "being manipulated" into thinking they need that as well. It's all about what you allow to "control" your mind. So I guess in that sense, sex is a need for some but only because they have let their thoughts and urges control them.

When I was on a diet, I swore I needed Cheese Sticks lol. It really felt like I would die without great tasting food for too long...alas, I did not and lost 14 lbs. A "need" is something that can't really be disputed and affects everyone..not just a few. Water, air, and food are pretty much needed for ANYONE to survive...sex, only for some I guess.

I think you guys are also confusing "reproduction" with sex. They are not the same thing. If you only have sex for the purposes of making babies to continue the race, it's not the same as doing it for pleasure alone.

[Sweet N Little]

True, but I will just say, A life without sex is not complete to me. Not that sex is needed for life, life is just better with it.
So there!! LOL

@ Bio...I think I "need" you lol

Abraham Maslow who studied the human hierarchy of needs came up with a pyramid shape of those needs as posted by SNL previously.

According to his studies, sex is at the lowest rung of human needs.

However, I am not sure if Maslow factored age, but I think age matters a great deal in regards to the need for sex.

A human baby has absolutely no need for sex and the subject does not even cross his mind.

However, when a boy reaches puberty then sex starts to become very important.

. . . Then sex becomes a burning need and that fire devours you!

There..fixed that for ya lol. That urge for young boys is no different than our biological clock ticking when we think we "need" a baby. I always think I "need" sex the week before my period...same when I was pregnant. It was not a need though..it was a very strong desire and a WANT.

[Jackie S]

Recreational Sex, which is what this board is all about, is certainly not a "need", unless you consider the women involved might starve if not for the steady income.

London has it right. There are many men who simply replace the "high" that non procreative sex offers for other avenues of enjoyment. Heck, most of everything we do is "for fun", the World would be a pretty boring place without all of the things we have invented simply to keep us occupied in a pleasant manner.

This is supposed to be fun. If it ceases to be fun, I will cease doing it. That is not a neccessity, nor a need. That is a want.

[London Rayne]

Damn...and that's coming from a MAN!
