I'm not talking pro-creation, we all know we need that. But strictly for pleasure, exercise, stress release, etc: do we need sex? As grown adults that have had sex before, normal and healthy, would one be harming themselves to deny their natural urges?
YES! I learned from an anatomy class that people need it. and if you dont release sexual energy INTENTIONALLY it's still gonna happen...that's why we have wet dreams! ^_^
Life and living are meant to be shared and enjoyed in all aspects including sex and love. Our brief moment here should not leave us at the end of our time thinking of what might have been. Deniel, wether by intension or not, could only result in a massive mental break down for those who would take a jorney of such risk. I think better, live better, feel better and love better with sex, makes me Sex is good, get more.......... Dusty
*sigh* i have asked myself this many times... I have tried to stay celibate in the past for religious reasons, and it did not work for me... in fact it makes it harder for me to resist actually. I think this has to do with me trying to ignore my sexuality and forcing it away, so when i'm put in a sexual situation, it all comes to the surface with a bang! only after accepting myself as a sexual being am I actually able to be celibate... I am much more picky, etc, about what i do and who i do it with. (lots of personal info there...) that being said.. i think releasing of sexual tension must be done for some ppl... whether that be through sex, foreplay, masturbation, whatever... but for some I feel that there is very little sexuality in them.. or it's just kept hidden away very well... emotional necessity of sex is individual... some ppl (priests, etc) are able to be celibate and keep their sexual desires completely under control, but i'm sure even they have trouble sometimes... plus it's nice to bond with someone in that way... for me anyway, I plan to have lots of sex in my future, particularly with my future husband, whoever that may be... hope that answered your question, i realize i rambled a little bit...
I certainly don't think that by not having sex that you are harming yourself in any way. In fact, I think that by holding off for a while, when you actually DO have it again, it will be an even better experience because of all of the build-up. I had a really hard time holding off the 6 weeks of no sex after I had my babies. It was awful for me because I seemed to want it even more, maybe because I was told that I COULDN'T do it. In fact, with my oldest son, I couldn't make it. We had sex at 3 weeks post-partum and it hurt like HELL. Then I ended up tearing my episiotomy stitches. Stupid me. Peace.
sex is great its only when i cant get sex then its a pain ,must get some NOW , or maby 2mro peace and lol .
I say no you would not be harming yourself to be non sexed. Some people know how to deal with sexual urges in a different way. Im not sure how they do it because I have not doen it but I know a house of people who don't and they seem very nice.
i used to go nuts when i didnt have it for more than three months...i can cope now...but it'd be nice to get some hanky panky soon.
I think you need it to form an intimacy with someone else but personally no I don't think you NEED it
No you dont NEED sex. Anyone who believes you do is delusional. Like it? Hell yes, its great. And I never had a wet dream from not having it... I did get hairy palms though
fun fact: humans, chimps, and dolphins are the only animals that have sex for pleasure as well as pro-creation lets face it ppl....if chimps and dolphins are smart enough to do it for pleasure too then its just meant to b
I'm sorry if I've antagonized you in the past. I didn't mean to be such an ass. Anyway, I've wondered about this too. I think that we are programmed to want the positive regard that sex with a partner seems to give us. It's a statement that "you're worthy" if someone will be intimate with you. The physicaly sensation of being touched by another human being lights us up... You know how that feels, of course. It's the difference between stroking yourself and being stroked by another person -- particularly a person you find gratifyingly attractive. It just feels GREAT. Would you be "harming" yourself to deny these urges? Who knows. That's an individual thing. If you're denying them because you've been too flippant in giving in to them, then it might be an improvement. If you still feel them but are denying them, you might psychologically do some damage. I surely don't think you can do physical damage to yourself, though. -Jeffrey
