Is having our SEXUAL NEEDS met on a regular basis A NECESSITY? Is meeting this need NECESSARY for GOOD HEALTH?
Answer:
I'm lad to have found your question. I have been wondering the same thing but didn't know how to phrase it.
I still don't know how to phrase the question I'm trying to answer myself, but consider this...
Doesn't sex effect a person's mood - maybe via hormones or neurotransmitters or something? I think I read that somewhere, but I'm not sure. Anyways, if sex (a physical act) effects hormones or neurotransmitter or another biological component (all physical though I'm unclear if neurotransmitters are theoretical or not) to create a mood that effects survival, then sex can be necessary for survival.
The only issue left concerns the effects of sex. I know that different people need different amounts of food and water and even different types of both (tap or bottled water, sir?) to satisfy themselves or sometimes even survive (deadly allergy to peanuts, anyone?) Maybe the effects of sex on mood is different for everyone (as I suspect is the case). Not having sex could make one person irritable while another person is fine. Having sex for another person might cause a lack of productivity while another is fine. The possibilities are endless, really.
Sex is not on the exact same level as food or water. A person !may! be able to survive without sex at least for some time, but without food and water death will come quickly. However, I have pondered the idea that sex, or a lack of, may cause mood disturbances that promote dangerous behavior. Irritation or distraction may harm a person under certain circumstances, but can a lack of sex cause this? I'm unsure. Part of me says it's logical, but another part says it's a stretch.
Conclusion? Sex may be a necessity for one person's survival, but not necessarily everyone's (except for the whole populating the earth thing).
Does that makes sense?
Well according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, yes.
But it is not on the same level of food and water
no way! Definitely not. People don't have sexual needs met on a regular basis after they hit adolescence. (Except those who are always, always, always in a sexual relationship with someone - and this isn't true for most people).
It is very possible to have good health, and be happy too, with having 'sexual needs' satisfied.
And at a more basic level, we would die within days of 'no water', and within a month of 'no food', but 'no sex ever' won't even wound us.
in a way, yes! We were made to procreate, but just like with diet the healthier the food and taking things in moderation is a recipe for good health.well with sex there's also rules to follow, in a good loving relationship you can go at it like rabbits, but perversions and letting lust consume you is unhealthy!
It may not be needed to live, but you're risk of cancer (nut cancer, and the like) and other terrible things(depression, mental illness, vegetarianism) is higher if you aren't getting any. So it's definitely bad for your health not to meet those needs.
At the very least, use the self serve pump at the gas station of love.
I would like to think so. But I think having sexual needs met is not a necessity, though it is good for mental health. I have survived for over A YEAR now, but I am going CRAJEE.
it cums pretty close
