Thats a fallacy.

Personally I...

Think about:

Computer games
*******************************

Alcohol
***********

Work
******

Sex
***

That might translate to one or two sex thoughts a day, and that only if you include thoughts such as "Hmm, she's hot"

At the risk of sticking my can of worms into Pandora's Box: Freud thought everyone was motivated by a purely sexual impulse - then again, he was cocaine abusing house-wife f***er. Carl Jung thought it was a more general creative impulse. I don't know: maybe sex and creativity (working on other projects and hobbies) can be separated out from each other. No need to push all that stuff into one pool.

As to the original question - going a year without sex, and whether or not we are extra-motivated to do things by the prompting of the opposite sex, I'd have to say personally that yes, I could go (and have gone, at times) more than a year, and yes, the other sex makes you do stuff you wouldn't normally do.

*Facepalm* I know it is a myth. I was merely using a common phrase to ease into the subject.

I for one would. The extinction of the human race is something I quite look forward to on a personal level.

That said, the rest of you wouldn't be around to enjoy all these "benefits" that you list since no more humans would be born if no man or woman ever considered having sex again... Unless we'd evolve a form of procreation akin to mitosis of course (which is pretty unlikely) :p

life would be boring, and i dont mean without sex, but the things iv done in relation to sex have been some off the greatest experiences iv ever had, rock festivals, mountain climbing, camping trips, my sex drive gets the credit for the greatest memoires i have, wouldnt traded them for anything. but some off the worst also come from that but the good will always outway the bad. i think losing sex would be like loseing the spice of life,

reminds me of a joke.
a man goes to the doctors, and asks " doctor, would i live longer if he gave up sex, women and alcohol". the doctor says, "No, it will just feel like longer because it will be so dull"

I agree with some of the people here, my sex drive has lead me to some pretty awesome experiences. I couldn't cut my sex drive from my life cuz I'm a little horny bastard. And I haven't had sex in like 6 months due to being in a campus of guys so I have very little interactions with girls and it is driving me bloody insane! Well, actually I just keep meeting girls with bfs as well, that doesn't really help either, I may be horny but I have morals.... and I forgot where I was going with this. I may actually be done. I don't even know.

Surely that wou;d be completely impossible as we couldn't evolve without reproducing first?

Bar spontaneous mutations induced by radiation of some sort (extremely improbable even if it isn't entirely impossible), or artificial methods like gene therapy developed by human hands: Yes. It would be impossible.

If you did, you woudln't be a horny little bastard anymore.

If you took away your sex drive, being in a campus of guys only and ultimately having extremely little interaction with women wouldn't drive you insane. It just wouldn't matter that much to you since your sex rive no longer has that choke hold on you.

Now do you understand the benefits in removing it that a lot of people see in this thread? :)

Wait, you've gone to rock festivals, mounain climbing and camping trips for SEXUAL reasons?

How about going to a rock festival to actually se the bands you like? Mountain climbing because it's fun and challenging? Camping because it's a peaceful getaway from urbanized civilization and gets you more in contact with the wild?

What kind of sexual motivations would one have that would the the PRIMARY reasons for doing them? : /

no porn either? cause that would be a suicide mission. I could go without sex indefinitely with porn in my life though. It sucks perhaps, but I could do it.

If I lost my sex drive, I would probably still have my best friend... but then again, she was a girl, so I wouldn't even have met her in the first place (former GF).

Well I would at least not be the man-whore that I am... I have soon gone without se for 2 weeks... and after that short amount of time, it starts to bother me... Gawd damn I wish I could loose my sex drive whilst in the army.

the sexual motivation was that the women i was dating at the time convinced me to do those things, dont get me wrong a lot of my hobbies do stem from women convincing me to do them, but a lot are still my own, its just i know i wouldnt have done most of them tho if a women wasnt in hadnt convinced me to.
rock festivas arnt really my thing, large groups of people and too much noise, but i had fun because i went with my girlfriend at the time
and rock climbing never appealed to me as it involved dangling from a ledge by my crotch
also camping is non of that, iv been doing it since i was young with family and hated it, it was only when i went with friends and lovers i really enjoyed it,but if a women hadnt convinced me to go i wouldnt have known that
