Do you need sex?

Yes, it’s a need. For men more than for women, as testosterone is the driver of that physiological need. But women like it too, otherwise the continuation of the species would have to be based entirely on rape, but nature, in our species’ case, decided differently.

At the same time, being a woman, I can’t honestly say that I need sex - as in, sexual activity that necessarily involves someone else. I’ve always come by orgasms extremely easily (excuse the pun). Perhaps what is more accurate for me to say is that orgasms are a need! Sex is great, though. But I really have to feel a strong pull of attraction towards a man in order to have sex. So not such a great need, I guess!

It's instinct, and its importance is right up there with food and water for the survival of the species.

I often wonder how men survive in marriages with dead bedroom's.

We get it already.

I always figured sex was on the list with Food Shelter Water etc because if you dont have sex you won't have children to give you food Water and shelter when you are incapacitated in old age.

well you have to empty the tanks dont you?

what might happen if you didnt.

wheelbarrow sack?

There's nothing wrong with really, really wanting it. But if you confuse wants with needs... well, there's something wrong with you.

Excuse me, the great philosopher Elliott conflated the two:

i suppose it all depends on where you retain it.
