It's not a physical need but I really believe it's a mental need for most, just like socializing is a "need". You won't die from not getting it, but it'll drastically improve your life quality =3.

Is sex a "need"? no. Is the relieving of sexual tensions a "need" ? Yes. It's one of those primitive instincts programmed in our genes. This said, mainly for men, sex has been transformed in a social need. I mean just look at all those movies that involve "virgins" and how these people are either , in the story, being looked at as being weird and being told they need to get laid(40y old virgin) or have made of their life goal to have sex. (american pie and co)
Well most men due to hormones and the way our brains are wired, desire sexual release through personal or companion(s). Depending on the person the strength of the urges vary some may be able to go without while some other may need it constantly.jack the werewolf said:
Men do not "need" sex, but for many it's an increasingly large urge the longer they go without, furthermore many who indulge can discover they will lead a much more relaxed and healthy life style, as sex not only gives you a fair bit of exercising but also releases chemicals which help improve your health and happiness.
Eh, I'm going to be a bit wary of any study that says people "need" sex, that's going to be rather controversial and alot of personal biases and politicking and so on is going to creep in.
Yes it is a need, for me at least and for people around me it can make or break your mood. Plus humans need physical contact to be well balanced, women need sex as well but they're only just slightly better at coping with just a hug or kiss instead of actual sex.
Sweeping generalisation there.Deviate said:
I'm fairly certain about what I want from my life, and I'm OP's age. Changing 'no' to 'most' doesn't require that much effort.
On topic: I don't really know. I've never had a relationship that's progressed that far. To be honest, I don't think I really care. I'm a fairly cynical and misanthropic bastard that goes to parties and just observes drunk people instead of getting drunk with them. I'm not entirely sure whether I actually feel anything for either gender anymore. They all piss me off.
Well if your a Nymphomaniac or Hypersexuality (Male Equiv), it does sadly become a mental and physical need, and im saying that first hand, its not a fun thing. ESPECIALLY if you're forced to go without it for 2 years at 21.
so what if im 16? that does not mean im any less of a person then youDeviate said:
you cant just put a big group of people together and say everyone of them is the same its unfair
This, a hundred times this. I probably would have said the same thing at that age, but now at 22 not a day goes past that I'm not reminded of my inexperience.Deviate said:
He's not generalizing. 16 year olds are still developing psychologically and biologically, so you can't say that you've reached some kind of innerpeace deal because you're so wonderful. Chances are those urges will sneak up on you at some point if they haven't already.jack the werewolf said:

I don't think MEN need sex so much as loving relationships do (or tend to, at least). A peck on the cheek is all well and good, after all, but sex, when done right, is sort of the ultimate "I love you."
