      That’s rich coming from someone who fucks sharks.

      But honesty, sex is important. I get fucking crazy if I go without it for a long time.

      It is different for different people, but saying it is not important to a person who comes in to the Diskussion saying that it is important to them, is kinda mean.

      Long term virginity is sort of proof that you aren’t likeable enough for someone to have sex with you.

      It can be a bit of a downer when you realize that.

      So no, it is important. But it is also important to not give up.

      Took me til my thirties, and it gave me a confidence boost once it happened. Had to work on myself to make it happen.

        Yuuuuup. Not letting your sex drive prevent you from seeing someone as the person they are is a big deal too.

                  That’s the only logical fucking thing - you wanna fuck, you have sex, you feel good. How fuck the won’t that solve anything??

                    So… I’m not an expert on the brain, but I love to read about mental health, and I’ve learnt that the brain craves that level of stimulation when things aren’t right (outside, inside, or both). It may be an addiction, a cope for depression, hormonal imbalances, etc. Maybe many things at once. But I assure you the solution to boredom, the craves, the feeling of nothing being enough, and more, is not sex (not even relationships, although they might help when you’re in your way to recovery).

                    Seeking a good health (mental and physical) is all we can do to feel good at the individual level, honestly. All other paths (fame, power, sex, drugs…) are really traps, or that has been my experience and the conclusion I also reach from my readings. I know it’s not easy, not only emotionally but also on other aspects (money, finding the problems, finding solutions or treatments, etc.), but it’s a bet you can place outside the Kurt Cobain option. I really think it’s worth the tries (in plural, probably).

      It really isn’t. Obtaining social capital, political engagement, and philosophical discussion is like way better and more important than sex can ever be.

        Yeah I’ve been single a few years now and my life is much easier and more streamlined. I don’t miss sex and have plenty of friends. We’re kind of all expected to partner up and have kids and stuff but I just no longer want that.
