Individuals don't need sex to survive but the seething biomass of humanity has to bump n grind occasionally to perpetuate itself.

I'm quite fond of sex myself, but I'm also married, so I've learned to live without it.

Yes.
There is a need for sex and almost everybody will come across it at one or more points in their life. Depends on the individual.
Why do we need it?
Reproduction, the true purpose in life is just simply to reproduce without it as a species we would die. So yes, it is a need.

Yes, for most people, generally considered normal people, sex is very important.

If you don't have sex, masturbate, or think sexual thoughts, they'll manifest in other ways. Priests who vow chastity often have "Holy Experiences" that are just sexual experiences that the body is creating.

It's a "need" in the sense that your body doesn't let you go without it, no matter what.

For your consideration:

I grew up overseas in Northern Nigeria, in the middle of the Sub-Sahara savannah, and spent most of my childhood isolated from other whites, and completely cut off from cultural influences both local and Western. Nevertheless, by age 12 I had learned to masturbate though I had never seen porn, or seen a girl naked. Today I am happily married living in Canada, and my wife and I have a lot of fun.

My point is: sex drive in males is usually as normal as feeling tired or hungry. Fight it, hate it, control it, be a slave to it, ignore it or embrace it, but it will almost always be there.
Replace "males" with "people" and you basically stated my view.

Women think about and have that urge for sex just as much as men do.

I'd call it an urge, rather than a need, it's an instinctual desire rather than logical one, or something that I consciously want; an idealised kneejerk reaction to my loneliness and stupid, beleaguering libido that my more pragmatic consciousness will assess that neither a relationship or copulation will do much to assuage my disposition/fill the void. Though not exclusively so, the whole 'a man has needs' line is generally the kind of trope uttered by some lecherous fuckwit in defense of their promiscuity, basically the kind of feeble excuse that try's to exonerate themselves from the responsibility of their own actions, passing it off as primal urge so strong that it overides their self restraint. People have urges indeed, but they also have or at least should have a sense of responsibility and self restraint to make sure what they're doing is safe and authorised and not resort to cheating on their partner.

The urge for it is very hard to ignore once you lose your virginity...

Obviously it's not a need, as such, but I always seem to be a lot happier post-coitus.

Psychologically and physically sex is important. You don't need it in the same way that you need water or food or sleep, but regular sexual activity (provided no STI or kinky sex harm) is good for you. It releases good chemicals into your body, it helps boost your immune system, its good exercise, and it can also have psychological benefits such as boosting confidence.

That said its all down to how comfortable you are. To all those yet to have partaken of this particular 'feast' don't rush if you aren't comfortable, but when you are just jump right. Its good fun. Also, as with the health thing remember;

Don't be a fool, wrap your tool.

It comes down to each person. Some desire it so much they become depressed and sick without it. Some enjoy the occasional bonding and happiness. Others don't feel much attraction or simply hate being touched. For them it isn't as necessary. The last group will replace the experience with other things that brings them occasional ecstasy.

There is a physical benefit to it but there's a lot of things good for us that we don't do or feel a need to do. We still function alright.

It is 100% without question a "need". Its not like a need on the same level of thirst or hunger whereas your going to die if you dont get it within X amount of time, rather that it is a lingering need that hides just underneath the surface that if not satiated eventually becomes more like a ball of infection that if left untreated for too long will grow worse and begin to degeneratively affect previously unrelated areas.

A person can hypothetically live without sex but under Maslows heirarchy you realize that one of the fundamental "needs" is being neglected and that neglect can manifest in many ways, usually negative that often manifest as an overcompensation in other need levels.

Example: Man lives almost a decade without sex. Mentally he resigns himself to this fate that no one wants to be physically intimate with him. That need is left unfulfilled and it means that there is a void left open. In order to fill that void, the man becomes highly self destructive and takes on a daredevil motif in life to help compensate for that level of neglect. In this patients mind they decide to take undue risks in their life because their need of intimacy/love is not satiated they feel like "well if no one loves me, then why should I care about what happens to me?" which becomes the justifier to take undue risks in life like say excessive drinking, Or addiction level to voyeurism such as spending too much money on watching strippers, or developing an extensive drug habit where the patient misrepresents the "good" feeling of the drug to that of sexual satisfaction. (honestly there is no end on how this can play out, these are just examples)

In short every single human being has a need of sex. While the level of dominance of that need can vary between individual, the need is always going to be there as some people will invariably be able to endure it festering for a longer period of time than others.

With such as much as sex is a need, it is also in need to be viewed as a right because if we are to accept that human kind is exempt from evolutionary self correcting mechanisms (Such as protecting people from their own stupidity to the point we hinder the unfit from killing themselves) then to ignore the individuals right to sexual gratification is cruel and unusual punishment.

When a bloke says "I have needs" it's mainly used as a excuse for an over-active sex drive and any problems caused by it

Without it a -race- may die out, but by no means will an -individual- die.

Weren't we all the products of sex? That's kind of like needing it... right?

I'm terrified to click post because I might get a low content warning or something... um...

You don't need sex, but your children do.

That makes sense right?

Meh, the ability to control ourselves is a big part of what we are. We have a natural urge to kill the strongest monkey and take his place, but that tends to get you locked up now.
