No, not really. Not having sex even becomes a part of life as people get older. Men are no longer able to perform and the female body reaches a point where sex can become extremely uncomfortable for them. Granted, there is Viagra for men and things for women that can help extend that deadline, but for most people, there is eventually a stopping point.
They don't go crazy.
At a younger age, it's hormones that drive sex, it's all human nature. That's why it's so frequently sought after.
Companionship, however, as others have said, is what is so important. There are exceptions to everything, but the majority of people can become depressed or upset if they don't have someone to share their life with emotionally. The sex is just a nice, fun, and enjoyable bonus to being with someone you care about.
Having a one night stand will quell the sex urge for a bit, but it doesn't substitute for companionship.

yes, deprivation from anything can cause problems depending on how much the person enjoys it, if someone loves chocolate and doesn't eat chocolate for a year, they could break down over it, the smallest things can cause mental changes, it can lead to depression and many other things
It can, but it is by no means bound to. All depends on the situation and the individual I guess.
By the way are we talking about a virgin for life kind of deal, or just someone who hasn't had sex for an extended time?
Because in the latter case (which would be my case) I can say for me it honestly causes no trouble at all. I left a very sexually active relationship over three years ago, and haven't got laid since. And before that relationship there was also a 2.5 years sexual break. Sure, the first 2 months I was horny as hell to the point of frustration, but after a while it all just kinda settles down. I start to think less about it, masturbation drops from daily to weekly, and nowadays honestly once a month is often. And it's fine, I don't need sex to function.

You are my hero today.Danzaivar said:Based on the amount of people on this forum who never get any and decide to become asexual rather than desperate, I'd say yes.
That's a ridiculous notion. Sex is not vital to the human experience, it's an afterthought something totally ancillary. I'm Asexual and there's nothing wrong with me. Now if you don't mind I'd like to take the rest of the day to kill the whores tied up in my basement.
I'd say most definitely. My bouts of insanity and megalomania only come as a result of what seem like prolonged sexual dry-spells. That being said, we really need to work out an organized course of treatment for this sort of thing.
i would say yes, its different for everyone but man if i dont have a good bit of love glove every once in a while i get annoyed alot easier and i get paranoid about shit.
probably explains why im chill as fuck =P

It is possible. Depression anxiety, and frustration are the top three I believe when it comes to lack of sex, of course they usually come from individuals who are in their teens and under extreme peer pressure.
Just to clarify something. For me there is a difference between sex out of lust and sex out of love.
I mostly long for the second. The intimacy and passion you get to share with the other person is what is gnawing my thoughts. Not the quicky in the toilet of the bar. (I've had those chances and I let them go)

I think that's downright retarded.
Sex is only babby making, and a waste of time if not for that purpose.
If one doesn't waste their time with it, then why the hell should they have issues?
It's like saying you'll go insane if you don't watch a Uwe Bol movie.
In other words: No. It doesn't. That would be stupid. As a person who wants no part of it, hasn't done it, and refuses to do it, I am normal. If the lack of it caused issues then I'd be messed up as hell.
Stupid theory is stupid.
